  • Dire consequences?

    With the vote on Scottish independence only 24 hours away, in 2 days the whole history of the UK could be wiped away.
    Forget the Pound, Oil and immigration issues, a part of the whole of the UK  could have vanished, along with it democracy will die.
    Should the split occur, then in England the Conservatives will have a hold on Parliament like no other and probably for the next 15 years we will have the same Government.
    This is as frightening for them as it is for us, they will have to deal with the economic crises that will undoubtedly occur with he loss of our brothers/sisters and cousins north of the border.
    Of course on a personal note; I wonder what will happen to tax on a decent Scottish Whiskey, will we be having booze drives north of the border, like we have booze cruises from Dover to Calais?
    The future today is uncertain, but I believe that losing a valued part of the UK is not the way ahead.
