What I mean is that 'No' has been adding more and more resolutions to the bribe pile over time and now that we're reaching the goal the wallets came out. They're proposing to pay Scotland a huge ransom using English money without a referendum from English voters and that makes it doubly awful. I haven't seen actual hysterics (yet) from 'No', but I think that if they'd stuck to the facts and pressed home how daft the 'Yes' campaign is, they'd be in far less trouble.
Cameron and Milliband both need to resign over this fiasco, and if 'Yes' wins Milliband will be the most irrelevant man in England overnight. Only Cameron REALLY needs to go. They must be keeping Mr. Farage locked in a basement somewhere for all the damaging clucking and crowing he could be doing to the 'No' campaign.
I'm starting to wonder if only HRH can stop the bleeding with a personal appeal setting the right tone with the right message. If 'Yes' wins, Mr. Cameron should thank God that he's not living in the Middle Ages. If I were king, I'd have him brought to the Tower by rowboat for losing Scotland. I'd be awaiting him with a mace.
That said, I agree that Scotland shouldn't be kept in the union at ANY price. It'll be an enormous embarrassment if they break away but on the other hand there's certainly some positives that'll come out of it ...along with a whole barrelful of awfulness, of course.
did not Ireland leave?
The only obligation on the scots is to live with their decision.
