Independence hysteria in Scotland was dampened yesterday when the vote on separation was a decided NO. Voters as young as 16 decided that they didn't want to be rid of the QE II. Enough of the chatter about going it alone. No Braveheart for them. So the vote: 55% no, 45% yes.
A little bit of common sense prevailed. Was it David Cameron's public appeal's? Was it the awful truth about diminished North Sea oil?
The results also brought about the resignation of the Independence Party's leader Mr. Salmand. He admitted defeat and decided it was time for another leader to take on the mantle of the party.
Do you hear this in Barcelona? Bilbao? California?
Oh, the Scots. No doubt they don't want to become Londonstan.
