Bye Bye Scotland (and Scottish Salmon)?

 

The Scottish people will decide on September 14th this year wether or not to become an independent country and split away from the Motherland - the rest of the UK.
Scotland has been part of the UK since the Union with Scotland Act 1706, and many a brave Scot has fought for Britain in Wars from Napoleonic to Afghanistan.
The Romans built Hadrians Wall to keep the ancient Scots out of England, now the Scots may have to rebuild it to keep the English out of Scotland!
This is a massive decision the Scots are about to take, according to one Poll the YES vote only need a 2% swing to achieve independence.
I'm wondering wether if  independence will mean the Brits will have to change the Union Jack flag - as the cross of St Andrews (the Patron Saint of Scotland) is represented on the Union Jack!

While we're talking about Scotland, a massive decrease of migrating salmon into Scottish rivers (on the East side of Scotland) has been reported.
Numbers of migrating Salmon into rivers, have fallen from about 100 per day to around 5 per day.
Salmon are a major export commodity for Scotland.
Oh well, they'll be able to make it up with North Sea oil revenue.
Revenue that will no longer be creamed off by the British Government if independence is gained.
