The end of not just the UK but England itself?

    Great idea just one tiny question how you going to pay for it ? Let's been honest as bad as it might be in Wales you are getting a lot more money from the UK then you are generating. Plus Tom Jones cannot have long left in him once he goes how would you cover the lose through tax revenue on album sales ?

    I'm Welsh and I agree with you.

    Wales can't afford to leave.

    I do think that Northern Ireland independence will grow if Scotland does vote yes. I wouldn't blame them either tbh but I don't know if they could survive on their own. Would it be possible for them to join Ireland again?

    Wales won't though. Wales needs England to survive.

    Ireland cannot afford to take on NI - its broke already.

    Not silly at all. Nearly 10 million population is more than enough to be a decent size country in Europe. We keep the pound and the Queen. Boris is PM of the Kingdom of London. We keep all the tax collected within the M25. The standard of living would increase, tax rates could be cut and growth would boom.

    The rest of Britain can ask Scotland if they can have time share on their parliament building and maybe use it at weekends. All the people complaining about multiculturalism and the Islington elite can stay the F away and let this thriving multiracial multicultural vibrant city go from strength the strength.

    What's silly about that?

    There is no appetite for independence in NI.
    It's either the union with the UK or uniting with the ROI that concerns people here.

    Cornwall and the Isle of Wight???

    lol

    OK, at this point independence movements are just something that bored people take up as a hobby.

    As for Wales and Northern Ireland, England is stuck with them unfortunately.

    I wonder what a Yes vote in Scotland would do for the NI bid to set it's own corporate tax rate that Cameron has been sitting on since he came to office.

    What about Independence for Bromley, Greenwich, Lewisham, Southwark, Woolwich? How about outer London breaking away from inner London, where does it end. Will my local council ward get independence?

    By which of course you mean causing economic collapses, since London is the capital of corporate and financial corruption.

    Does London generate a lot of it's own power then? I thought they are turning Battersea power station in to luxury flats.

    Apparently they feed themselves too, because London is full of farms.

    Hmmm, remind me what the "S" in RBS and HBOS stands for again?

    Yes, Scotland was an accessory to London's crimes.

    How would an independent Wales create those things? It would just lead to bankruptcy.

    I love the way all these places think that if only they could break away from the evil Tories in southeast England they could some how create a just, and fair society with welfare for all. Things like that cost money, something they will not have.

    Until I proposed that the evil tory SE leave, then everyone complains about that too!
