By coincidence ???
Maybe Limey or others can fill us Yanks in on what is (likely) to happen with this...

Scotland talks independence – but can it afford it?

With a vote on Scotland's independence from the UK becoming more inevitable,
Scots want to know how an independent Scotland would pay its bills.

With the pro-independence Scottish Nationalist Party now in control of the Scottish parliament
in Edinburgh for the first time, the idea of independence is gaining traction.
First Minister Salmond vowed when his party won in 2011 to hold
a referendum on independence before the end of his term.

But British Prime Minister David Cameron and his ruling coalition in London said
earlier this month that Scotland's devolved parliament does not have the constitutional powers
to call a referendum, or to dictate its terms, sparking a heated debate.

I dunno. Maybe we Yanks can fill them in on what it takes to break away from Mother England.
