My wife has family members living in Scotland. The other night she let me read some statements on Facebook by some of her younger Scots family members and friends concerning the issue. If their feelings are what is dominant in Scotland among young people, then the future of an independent Scotland is definitely socialist.

And there was one living in England who was against indy because she felt it would mean England would be much more conservative and forever electing Tories.

Perhaps they need to study history. When the Act of Union was signed in 1707 Scotland was bankrupt. If they implement the Socialist policies of the SNP and Labour they'll eventually have a repeat performance.

If the yes vote prevails I hope what's left of the UK makes it clear that the Scots will be treated no better than other non-members of the European Union- especially in the matter of employment which will almost certainly be a problem for the Scots

Scottish independence would be like California becoming independent - a blessing to those who remain behind!
