Don't worry lads it won't happen.
The Union is safe despite the bully boy tactics of the yes campaigners who have tried to intimidate the Scottish nation into voting yes.

BETTER TOGETHER so VOTE NO

The weather map.

I always wait with baited breath whilst the bbc weatherman zooms in and pans around the British Isles coming to Scotland last, to see what the weather is going to be like in the Shetland Islands today, which is usually the same as every other day, cold, windy and a bit s***Laugh thanks for letting us darn sarf know againSilly

No I would miss the banter of the English claiming to support the Scots, whilst the Scots eventually rival Norway and Luxembourg for the  richest country in Europe tag, and as global warming kicks in and sea levels rise, the Jocks will be perched up on their Scottish mountains laughing and pointing at the English drowningCry

I see the No vote has righted itself and is now 1/4. United we stand.

.....very sad.

.........I wonder how the Scots will actually feel when they vote NO and realise what they have done, the opportunity missed - handed their significant resources to Westminster. No sense of excitement, no sense of a nation on a journey. The embarrasment that so many of them were motivated by either fear or bribery. The country most similar to them, Norway is the wealthiest in the world - their "region" is an economic blackspot.....who somehow are to be grateful (but I believe the realisation of something not quite right has been brought into the spotlight).

.....also, the awareness (and its completely irrelevant whether its right or wrong) that most of the world will regard them as  somewhat "cowardly", "dim-witted" or both - the only so-called "nation" that didn't vote for Independence. Their  "sent them home to think again" etc viewed as as a joke.

....obviously nearly half of them will be sad and I suppose angry to some extent, but what about the "No" voters when the "new powersLaugh" for Scotland get delayed and diluted, and then it will be nothing that really matters that much anyway. Scotland goes onto the back pages - the ruling English elite continue squander their resources (I mean FFS one of the reasons it was difficult for Scotland to break away was the level of debt they would have to assume - was the question - how in the name of God have got into this mess?).

......the economics of 2014 were irrelevant anyway, all resolvebale - it was about having a different economic model in a very different world in 2100.

Wallflower I am Scottish and proud of it but I'm also proud to be British and want the Union to remain. What is wrong with that?

I will miss the "Britain had to wait 77 years for a new Wimbledon champion" line, instead, next year it will then revert to, "it's been 80 years since an Englishman last won wimbledon" every time our top #121 ranked player James Ward steps out onto court, which will probably only be the onceCry
