Cameron Warns Scots: Independence Means ‘No UK Passports’

Scotland will face 'painful divorce', says David Cameron in emotional speech (The Guardian)

David Cameron has delivered a stark message to the people of Scotland that they would face a "painful divorce" from the rest of United Kingdom if they voted for independence in the referendum on Thursday.

In an emotional speech on his final visit north of the border before polling day, the prime minister warned that a yes vote would end the UK "for good, for ever" and would deprive the Scottish people of a shared currency and pooled pension arrangements.

In a seeming attempt to reach out to voters who might be tempted to support independence to free Scotland from the Tories, Cameron said that he would not be prime minister forever – but a break with the rest of the UK would be permanent.
