The former Prime Minister took Sky News viewers through the repercussions for Scotland if the SNP managed to convince Scots to leave the union. He warned that independence for Scotland would mean the country having to drop the pound and businesses facing customs checks at the border.<\/p>\n<p>The former Labour leader told Sky News: &#8220;Nicola Sturgeon talks a lot about a referendum.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;She doesn&#8217;t explain what independence actually means.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think once people know it means a separate pound and that means you are going to be trading in different currencies.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It means a separate border between Scotland and England, and that means there have to be checks of one sort or another if she joins the European Union.<\/p>\n<p><strong>JUST IN:<span>&nbsp;<\/span>&#8216;Lazy&#8217;
