In any 'divvied-up' scenario see post 18 above for some light on the subject.
I agree with all of that (except your flawed logic opening gambit). They are all UK assets, not English ones. My point was that if the UK dissolves (ie, not just Scotland leaves but the UK ceases to be), these shared UK assets do not automatically or legally revert to becoming English assets, as seemed to be the suggestion being made in some of the earlier posts. If that wasn't the suggestion, then no harm.
