    World to stop turning is Scotland goes independent

    It is confirmed. Western civilisation will cease to exist. Scenes of anarchy to become common place as poverty stricken voters in Scotland give a slightly smaller sheet than before to world affairs.

    Tom Logan from the Royal Observatory in Greenwich suggested that an independent Scotland may cause the known 'second' to increase in length as Sep 18th grew closer. Tom said "It's very worrying, my train from Paddington each morning takes long enough without those Scottish separatists!!"

    Only cataclysmic for Scotland. Good news for England.

        There's only one downside to Scottish independence that I can see - the number of immigrants to the SE will increase.
        Hard Brexit now!

          We could always impose impose immigration limits like we did with the Romanians.

            No need. Scotland won't be in the EU, so no automatic right to live and work in the UK.
            Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

              More likely 'would be cataclysmic' for the Labour Party in England.

              But eerily reminiscent of the Europhile FUD line of argument. .

                We'll smuggle ourselves doon on the East coast line. London pavements are lined with gold, innit?

                  Or maybe Scotland to stop turning once it turns into a socialist utopia
                  Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.

                  No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.
