Some strong words from Mr Salmon, but if he held a referendum and the Scots voted to cut all ties with the rest of the UK, would we sit back and let it take place?
Would it be classed as a civil war?
Would we send in the troops to quell the revolt?
Or perhaps we should play him at his own game and hold a referendum of our own to see if we still wanted the Scots?

But they may need Westminster's approval even for that as they have to use the Electoral Register and I believe they only have permission to use it for specified purposes (which probably do not included referendums).
I think it's all a bit academic anyway as I believe the majority of Scots would vote to remain part of the UK.
