I am persuaded that it would be better, fitter, for the Union to remain, but not at any cost. It may surprise some that the English people are becoming increasingly frustrated by the political apartheid being practised against them.

So who are the no Irish, non Scottish, non Welsh MP’s sitting in Westminster you may well ask. My reply is simply that they are British MP’s representing British political parties tied into a British political system.

A Westminster Parliament denuded of non English constituency MP’s is not, by implication, the English Parliament.

If the Union is to be maintained, the English must have parity with the other home nations and have its own English voice.

When all is revealed and if we can trust the financial models and statistics put forward by the various protagonists, we will understand (hopefully) the mechanisms which will need to be put in place to keep the various parts of the Union afloat.

The problem is (and which scares some British politicians witless) that the revelations will either conclude that England is indeed subsidising the other countries in the Union, whilst suffering an inequality of treatment itself (University fees, prescription charges etc) or that the British politicians have been lying through their teeth and the Scots have been subsidising us, as the SNP insists.

If the former case is proven and the English have their own parliament, you can bet the first thing on the agenda will be to reorder the situation so that the very least, all members of the public receive the same entitlements and treatment.

In any event, the gravy train will come to a halt and cause some pain in other countries and a celebration of justice gained, in England.

I agree with what you say in this article; charity and hard work (and a lot of prayer, in my opinon!) are going to be the UK’s only chance of preservation. And even if the worst case political scenario occurs, at least civil war won’t break out if everyone keeps their heads.

I’ll try to do what I can where I can to help out the cause. If you’d like to read some of the articles I posted on the subject, you can locate them at the above written website.

The remaining UK will be falling over itself to encourage an independent Scotland to continue using sterling as revenue from oil and gas at the moment is what is providing the collateral for UK’s debts and without Scotland’s resources backing it sterling will be in deep trouble.
Don’t let the facts get in the road of a good story.

The people of Northern Ireland are very soon going to have to decided who they are going with when Scotland becomes independent
