In polite society, the correct opinion to hold about Scottish independence is that the Union must stay together. But I’ve been wondering: might not England thrive, freed from the yoke of those whining, kilted leeches? The more you think about it, the more persuasive the argument seems to be.
I’ve been invited to debate this question – whether or not we long-suffering Sassenachs would be better off without our sponging Caledonian neighbours – in early September, at a debate held by the Chartered Institute of Public Relations.
How might I begin? Well, there are of course the immediate political consequences. A break-up of the Union would be indelible on David Cameron’s record, and absolutely devastating to his reputation and legacy. Never mind anything else the Tories have achieved in government: Cameron would go down in history as the PM who lost Scotland.
But, as joyful as the prospect of Dave’s humiliation will be to some Breitbart London readers, there are even more spectacular potential effects. Not only will the West Lothian Question be settled in the only satisfactory manner possible, but the structural bias in our constituency boundaries that favours the Labour Party will be blown apart.

England -- Britain, the UK, whatever you call it -- loses its permanent seat on the UN Security Council.
Maybe it's worth it. Maybe it's time to leave the UN as well.
But the loss of the last sign of world power status could be a blow.
