From a personal stand point for my whole life we've been family and I'd hate see hundreds of years of family history end but if Scotland chose to go I doubt it would in reality make a lot of difference to me in England. I do think though that Scotland would struggle. All the welfare, free prescriptions, free university education, they already overspend, how would they continue as they are? If they lost all that, they would not be happy with the dear old SNP.

You do realise that England also still has a massive budget deficit... Right?
