Shooting yourself in the face
Apparently David Cameron is being advised to take control of the Scottish situation by preempting the Scottish government holding a referendum and announcing it themselves.
Right now I feel pretty much neutral about Scottish Independence. I can see positives and negatives.
But if a Westminster government starts trying to manipulate what happens because of the election up here, I'm going to be voting in favour of it, and so will an awful lot of other people. Because it's exactly that kind of behaviour which has a fair chunk of the population wanting independence in the first place.

Scotland/Britain gives a degree of culture that England alone lacks.
