Turning on the tele and Good Morning Southern Britain is on. Yes tomorrow welcomes a new dawn.
The United Constituencies of Southern Britain and Northern Ireland. UC or SB for short. Interesting times.

Lets hope that Friday morning will see the resignation of Alex Salmon the man who believes every one is bluffing and that come a YES vote the UK Government will allow Scotland to use the Bank of England.

Highly unlikely the Yes campaign will win the vote now. Most bookies have the no vote winning at around 1/5 or 1/6
However no campaign have already made so many concessions to keep Scotland on board the changes from this debate will go on for a few years yet, and probably lead to more devolved government not just in Scotland but in England too.

A "No" win won't be the end, far from it. Governments delivering on the promises that have been made will be watched closely for years to come and I wouldn't rule out another referendum in a decade or two.
The pressure for greater devolution of powers from Westminster to Wales, Northern Ireland and the English regions should grow after this. Not before time.

Who's going to ''wake up in a newly named country''? Scotland will wake up in Scotland and the UK or just Scotland, the rest of us will wake up in the UK.

Or 'the slightly less united Kingdom' In the unlikely event of a Yes vote today I would say that come independence the current 'United' Kingdom would become more united than it is now, not less.

I just hope we can see the smile wiped off Salmond's smug face on Friday.

Seriously though, if the No's win, I fear some serious civil unrest on Friday.

Does the Queen have a passport? I've often wondered if she needs one.

CNN predicting 58% No; 52% yes. Which suggests some serious vote rigging, or US journalists can't add up!

Now to go though it again over the EU, if the Torries win the next election. Then most of the Better Toghter will be telling us to be independent.

With all of the 'Vote Yes, get the Torys out' in Scotland. Labour and Lib Dems have a good lever to win votes in Scotland at the next election.
In England which party will start promising English Devolution.

Quite comfortable win for the No vote in the end.
Oddly might be bad news for Cameron, Clegg and Milliband who could be accused of promising concessions to Scotland they didn't need to do. Calls for same powers for English regions will be coming forward as a result.

I am not going to pretend to know the ins and outs of this issue but what I do think is we are better and stronger when we are united together.

I guess we've no chance of getting the clock change in the winter being abolished now we've still got them lot in tow Couldn't agree more although the implications for us all are huge. However, I have been asking myself for the last day who on earth was responsible for a convicted murderer from Latvia to be allowed into the country. Honestly, it was only necessary in the 18th and 19th centuries to have a criminal record to get into Australia - today with a criminal conviction you wouldn't stand a chance. I despair of us.

Today I have woken up as a proud Scot and proud to be British. Just need Salmon to do the honourable thing and resign and today we be a memorable day for Scotland and United Kingdom. Cameron has made a big political mistake he should have asked Big Gordie to steer through the promised changes.
