What do we threaten the Scots with next? Exploding haggises?

This is Peter Hitchens's Mail on Sunday column

ScotlandActually if I were Scottish, I would be voting �Yes� just to spite all the people who are trying to frighten and browbeat me into voting �No�. Anyone with any spirit must surely feel this way.

If ever we do get the much-promised vote on EU membership, the anti-British side will use just the same tricks and smears to scare us into staying in this miserable liberal German empire. I only hope that, if so, we will have the backbone to ignore them and vote for our independence.

Listen to it � the poor Scots are threatened with currency collapse, bankruptcy, irrelevance and isolation. There�ll even be a frontier, doubtless with barking dogs, searchlights and minefields planted with exploding haggises.

Well, what do you think we�re all going to get if we stay in the EU? The real scare story is that 40 years of EU membership and wild overspending have brought the whole UK to ruin.

The current strength of sterling is an absurdity and can�t last. George Osborne�s boom is the most irresponsible bubble since the 1970s, based entirely on ludicrously cheap housing credit.

Roughly half the containers that leave our main port at Felixstowe contain nothing but air, and quite a few of the rest are crammed with rubbish for recycling, because our real export trade has collapsed, much of it throttled by EU membership.

The incoming containers are full, of course, of cars, clothes, gadgets and food � but how are we to pay for them?

As usual, the biggest story of the week was buried � the rise in our monthly trade deficit during July to �3.3 billion. That includes the famous �services� which are supposed to make up for the fact that we don�t manufacture much any more.

It is impossible to see how we can live so far beyond our means for much longer. Both Government and people are deeper in debt than ever.

So forgive me if I point out that it�s quite scary enough staying in the UK. The trouble with the �Better Together� lot is that scares are all they�ve got.

None of the three party leaders � supposedly rivals, actually accomplices � truly loves the Union.

They all view it as an outdated, conservative idea and they much prefer the glinting Teutonic rule of Brussels and Berlin.

They�ve been working night and day for decades to destroy British patriotism, culture and history, and replace them with a tasteless, pasteurised multiculturalism.

Who can blame the Scots for wanting to stay Scottish rather than be processed into the same greyish puree?

But David Cameron and Nick Clegg both correctly fear a �Yes� vote will cost them their jobs, which they should by rights have lost after their dire results in the Euro elections in May.

And Ed Miliband fears that a �Yes� vote will destroy his party�s chances of ever winning a Westminster majority. That�s all they�re fighting for � themselves.

Having got used to the idea that Scotland may say goodbye, I�ve been thinking about possible good consequences. Setting aside the puncturing of David Cameron, one of the most over-rated figures ever to become Premier, there�s the strong possibility that, without Scotland, we will actually leave the EU.

I don�t presume to speak for the Welsh, but I am quite confident that England on her own can, if she wishes, be a happy and successful civilisation. In fact it might do us no end of good to rediscover ourselves.

But one thing we must stop doing � in fact it would be a good idea to stop it now. A nation that has trouble keeping itself together has no business bombing other nations or peoples to try to force them to do our will.

We can go it alone------------no Scotland equals no United Kingdom anymore which means all bets are off----------new agreements will have to signed and the people wont do it---------we would be free--------free to send the millions of so called immigrants back to the EU , free to retake our borders, free to trade with who we want, free to fish, free to manufacture things again, free to get rid of unwanted terrorist religions (islam) from our country-------free to get a written constitution, free to get rid of the rotten politicians and re-write our laws to suit English people and not the world-----------free to get judges who will hand down real justice with real prisons for those who have done wrong------free to bring back the death penalty---------- free to get out of the unHuman rights laws-------free to bring traitors to court like Blair and hang him --------free to reclaim our land from the banksters -------free to bring back ACCOUNTABILITY
