A last minute promise was made that greater powers would be transferred to Holyrood under the devolution arrangements if the result was NO.

The day after the referendum, disagreements between the three "Union Jack Parties" already made it clear that the three unionist parties cannot deliver on the promises they made out of desperation.

As should have been expected the BBC, the State Broadcaster, was not a neutral observer. The British Establishment mobilised all their weapons - and still only got 55%

I will not discuss at the moment the theories surfacing that the vote was rigged.

Labour leader, Ed Miliband, insists that the Scottish devolution pledge stands and there are 40 Labour MPs in Scotland.

He says ' We're going to deliver, no ifs, no buts".

Meanwhile two-thirds of English voters want to scrap the Barnett formula that ensures Scotland receives more public cash per person from central government.

Interesting times ahead....

Milliband cannot deliver. He is in opposition !

Well, Scots love Labour - there are 41 Labour Scottish seats at Westminster and the General Election is less than 8 months away. Labour is in front in the opinion polls.

No chance of that number in May. I have already consulted my bookmaker.
