Dear WM. I'm moving out. I've had enough of being treated and patronised like a naughty child. We're supposed to be equals in this union. I fear we are no longer compatible and I shall be divorcing you on the grounds of irreconcilable differences. I can't stand you when you come over all 'Tory' and it's been happening more and more. Last year I thought there may be a chance that you'd go back to being a bit 'Labour' again. And I preferred that. It wasn't perfect.. but I could just about deal with it.

I'm willing to wait out the next few years if you decide to contest the divorce petition and we bicker over the technicalities.... But it'll be worth it just to get out of this and back on my own two feet. I know it'll be hard. But there must be something better out there for both of us.

We've had some good times together.. but I no longer love you as I used to. We should both move on, our paths lie in different directions and I wish you well.

ps You can keep the house, the car and the nukes. But I'll want fair compensation and you'll have to move the nukes into your own garage. I'll also take on my share of the gawd awful debt you've run up while trying to keep up with the Merkels and the Obama's.

Dear Scotland.
You're free to leave the most successful and progressive political union in history whenever enough of your number vote for it.
Kind regards.
rUK.

I just feel sorry for the majority of Scots who voted to stay being misrepresented by the minority nationalists who want to destroy the northern part of the UK. Such a shame.

It's funny watching indignant rage though when the snp get the amount of attention they deserve in Westminster; how much time should fringe politics be given?

I feel sorry for the Scots who were lured into voting "No" by false promises.

Yorkshire was brought up on here recently and here it is - Sounds familiar ? and why not....

Finally!

We now have a different referendum to talk about. Cameron has kicked off the EU in/out debate finally.

Unlike the next Scottish referendum this one almost has a timetable. Sadly his speech didn't mention "oil" once, but nobody's perfect!

but I know of other yes voters that want out but will vote to stay in ... dont quite agree with that myself but I respect their views

He did mention though the ultimate folly of small constituent nations of a political Union losing a larger one who helps pays for everything. 😀

There will be parallels with the Scottish referendum; the process before and the fallout after; when a large chunk of people don't get what they want.

Most people down in rUK were in blissful ignorance of the subsidy situations that Hamish and Generali have illustrated, until the Scottish referendum threw it all out like so much dirty washing.

Just imagine what will come out from the EU ref discussion.

An article in The New Statesman suggests the European project could collapse anyway, and the real danger is complacency from the core institutions.

The British Union has been far more successful than the European one, in that it has survived for so long.

I love it when the SNP puts forward someone to appear on the Daily Politics show.

Today's "lamb to the slaughter" is someone called Hannah Bardell.

She wants to protect English shop workers by preventing them from working longer hours on Sunday, potentially putting more money in their pockets.

She doesn't quite get the "only in England" impact.

She hasn't yet suggested shutting the internet down outside shopping hours yet...
