Absolutely! My immediate thought was that common sense rules - and it wasn't even close!

Salmond and Sturgeon are 'kippered'. They were nothing but a red herring!

if the scots get more power to decide what happens over the border , the welsh and northern irish should be offered the same.

the three just mentioned should but out of what happens in england..

As far as Scotland's coffers are concerned they are now looking for England to Fillet !

I hope no one is under the illusion that this is going to stop that meglamanic Salmond - he will continue to persue his personal goals for power and if, as he sees that helps Scotland, so be it.

The canny Scots know which side their bread is buttered and its us that'll supply it in ruddy great chunks whilst their "Government" hands out the freebies.
Hope Cameron sorts the West Lothian problem out once and for all but I expect Milliband to try and sabotage it.

Apparently there were 60,000 spoiled ballot papers in the Glasgow region last night !

They had all voted for a united Ireland !

Very glad of this outcome. There are a handful of English-speaking democracies in the world, and of those only two have the numbers, economic heft, and might to have great influence over world events. Hate to see one of them chipping away at itself because its various ethnic nationalities can't get along with each other. Let's hope NO stays NO and that this campaign has not poisoned feelings more than before.

Having lived through two such "Separation" referendums, I believed that the result was never in doubt; on a couple of boards I stated that despite the rhetoric and hairy chest thumping the decision would be a "NO". Many a loud mouth in public gets cold feet and a slap of reality when in the voting booth, and votes for the status quo. Better the devil they know (UK) than the one they don't know (separation).

A big opportunity missed for the people of Scotland, but they are the ones that decided.
