So it now looks like a referendum on Scottish independance will take place before any on the UK remaining in the EU.
I doubt Alex Salmond will get the vote he so desperately craves but if it were to happen I expect him to take with him his share of the UK debt.
Quote:
Ministers from the UK and Scottish governments have reached a deal over the independence referendum.
BBC Scotland understands the final issues outstanding between the governments were resolved on Friday afternoon.
Scottish Secretary Michael Moore spoke to Deputy First Minister Nicola Sturgeon by telephone.
Prime Minister David Cameron and First Minister Alex Salmond are to meet on Monday to sign the agreement.
The referendum is to be held in the autumn of 2014.

There are many stories and rumours currently out there but one that narks me is that Mr Salmond expects the UK to provide security/defence for the whole of the UK island.
No thanks Mr Salmond, please feel free to close the nuclear sub base as well because we'll transfer everything back to England, as well as the jobs.
