• What also makes me cringe is the sentiment from Westminster trio that says -

    We love you, dont leave us, please stay, we'll be heartbroken

    but

    if you leave, it's forever, you can't ever take it back.
    We won't want you if 51% of you say no at this particularly point in time.

    Contradictory somewhat, no? What happens if in ten years time, the Scots collectively say "actually, we're sorry, we'd like to get back together. Remember you said you loved us?"
    Are the unionist parties saying that they want to stay together as the UK - but if the Scots decide to leave once, they can never go back? Sounds like a tantrum to me more than anything else.

    Would you prefer, 'Go ahead and experiment with your freedom, if you miss us and decide you want the old days back we'll be waiting for you'.

    The only reason they'd want to come back is if the whole thing goes tits up, what other reason could there possibly be. They're not going to look at the rest of us suffering without the oil and messed up by successive conservative governments and think 'we should get involved and help the rUK back on it's feet'.

    I think we're going to end up being very competitive with Scotland if they do gain independence, if we're really not better together and we can't really get away from each other then it's going to be messy.

    I could see Scotland doing very well with the right circumstances, but will the rUK facilitate this after independence, not likely.

    But they said they loved me! That they couldnt live without me! That they'd be heartbroken! I do want the old days back - I didnt realise what I had until it was gone. But now they wont take me back - were they just lying all along?

    As usual the queen delivered one of the best lines 'I hope they think very carefully'. If the queen said that to me I'd assume she was pissed off.

    The threat of heartbreak is a subtle warning that there will be no going back. Once someone breaks your heart you only take them back for revenge.
