Today could be the last day the union flag, aka the union jack (there is a debate as to whether that is the correct name or not), is ever used. Hopefully the voters of Scotland will ignore the propaganda they have been inundated with from the British establishment with vested interets (Westminster, media, big business, the other over-privileged etc.) and they will choose to vote for their freedom and independence from the British union after some 307 years.
My surname is Scottish and so I have some Scots blood in me. Even if I didn't I would be in support of the Scottish Green Party, the Scottish Nationalist Party and other rational organisations and individuals who can see a clear route to carving out the right for Scotland to be an independent and separate country once again (and, as a delicious bonus, getting rid of the Tory party in Scotland forever). It's going to be close but even if the reactionary "no" to freedom and independence campaign with its vested interests wins (and they have had the establishment's powerful weapons of media and money pushing their view and distorting the "Yes" campaign's), the United Kingdom can be united no more.
A significant number of Scots voters want their independence and will need to be granted real autonomy in future whatever the result. As for rUK- the rest of the "United" Kingdom, we too need to see a shift away from London-centric, wealth and government-biased policies for the over rich and over privileged. A loose confederation of regional federal states is what we need: sustainable, democratic and self -governing, Long live the Republic of North-West England! The Devo Max Manchester debate has started.
Waiting on the results.
