By Tom Clifford, published 15/9/2014

It means UK all. You see without Scotland there is no United Kingdom, just a united kingdom.

A Yes victory is extremely unlikely. To achieve such an impossibility, the Scots would have to run the following gauntlet:

- resist the rampantly biased brainwashing of a blatantly pro-No Scottish media, which has convinced just about every Scotsperson that Salmond eats more babies than Putin does

- resist the financial terrorism campaign being covertly conducted by the Scots and UK Treasury Departments to 'leak' information to the press about a supposed capital flight and mass ATM meltdown following a Yes vote

- resist the pressure to act like ignorant children on referendum day, just because the very well-funded, very well-publicised and very well-connected No campaign treats them as such

- create a large enough Yes majority (e.g. 80+%) to cause the Tory/Lib/Lab built-in electoral vote-rigging system to fail.

However, if the Yes vote defies all the above odds and wins, then Plan B will be set in place. 'Left-leaning independent governments' are NEVER allowed to last long, as they are far too dangerous (i.e. 'dangerous' because they put the interests of the people before the vested interests of the global elites).

Plan B will comprise all the usual dirty tricks that have been brought to bear on countries that dare to lean towards the left - i.e. currency wars, financial isolation, contrived political and social unrest - to bring it to its knees. Once it finally sees the error of its ways, accepts the international neoliberal consensus and moves its government firmly to the right, all will be forgiven.

Lets see, Putin doing a Hitler/Stalin reprise and getting some Lebensraum from the Ukraine, then maybe some Baltic tasters and even then some nice Poland (maybe third time lucky!). And of course the French and Germans would be soooo nice to another mendicant state in the EU that damaged an effective military.

Obviously just the time to Balkanise Britain. There is no force of the State stopping the Scots being Scots so let them prove themselves within a Union with Welsh, Cornish, Poms and Paddys where they were once mostly liked (except for the bag-pipe).
