Cameron off to Edinburgh to canvass votes for the NO campaign. Whose idea was this anyway to offer Salmond a referendum? And where in the world are referendums of this momentous national importance offered without a two-thirds mandate?
Cameron will now be remembered as the Prime Minister who gave a large chunk of Britain's heritage and people away for not even a song. And now, will all of us need passports to hop across the border. Travellers' cheques perhaps? Strip-down security? And can we bring back those magic liquids, which are made in Scotland? I have quite a few friends who love those old malts.
A separation of Scotland based on a 50% vote will mean it will be ideologically divided right down the middle. How will the NO voters reconcile to this? It's not something that can be altered at the next election, or a few years later when it all gets too much for Alex Salmond, and he's had his fill of playing Primus inter pares.
Talking of which, may be we should hand over London to that enfant terrible' who is the present mayor.
I also feel sorry for myself a teeny bit. My old Scottish partner for a brief four years or so will now have to be called a foreigner. He dumped me, true, true, but I rather liked that old renegade. He had an infinite capacity to laugh at himself. Salmond’s chief problem appears to be that he takes himself far too seriously.
Let's hope the Scots will wake up to reality before the 18th.
What a mess!
