YES

 I am hoping for a Scottish win tomorrow at the Millennium Stadium. To give Alex Salmond and that closet nationalist Andy Murray something to cheer up about as I fear there will be an icy wind a blowin up their Trossachs in September. A man at the Hostel who didn't sound at all Scots but claimed to be said "Remember what happened in Czechoslovakia? It became the Czech and Slovak Republics?" "Yes, well Scotland will become Slovakia if they vote for Independence, they will disappear off the world map". "Aha" said I "What makes you think that it will be Scotland that becomes the new Slovakia? England could sink without trace after the vote". That stunned him. Another man from Southampton, more in jest than seriousness, I suspect said "It's about time England declared Independence from these nuisance Celtic Fringe. It's time to go it alone" 
I thought, yes, it is all a matter of perception. I'm not living North of Hadrian's Wall so I can only comment as a Celtic Cousin and wish them well. Walking through Manchester t'other day I chanced upon a light blue plaque on the wall, I thought it might have been a shrine to a Manchester City gathering but it was in fact a plaque to commemorate Bonnie Prince Charlie. The light doesn't show it up too well but it states that on this spot Charles Edward Stuart used this site as a Gun Park. He was marching on London and listening to his generals made the fateful decision to turn back at Derby to winter in Scotland rather than march on the Capital. James 1 of England was James V1 of Scotland. We've had Gordon Brown as Prime Minister. There are probably many other Scots links but the Independence question is one of emotion and not economy. Cameron and Darling have been trotting out their Union line and the BBC appear to be daily running anti-independence propaganda in the shape of afternoon plays.  There is no doubt that the effete Metropolitan elite of who George Orwell was so scathing, the English upper class are worried. What will happen to Balmoral and Glamis Castle if they go it alone. Will her Maj get the royal boot up her jacksie?

Scotland is an amazing country but man/woman cannot live on scenery alone and I am affeared that Glasgow and Edinburgh and the Borders will vote against Independence and then the population North of this will not be enough in numbers to swing the vote. I would be very surprised if the people of the Highlands and Islands will vote against it. 
So Wales lost to England last week in the Rugby and that event alone will decide the Political Climate in Wales for another year. Lukewarm sick in Wales as opposed to lukewarm porridge is the order of the day politically this side of Offa's Dyke.  Come on Scotland.
