Meanwhile the Better Together camp is sticking to its plan, no matters how much the
Nats want everyone to believe they're panicking. They have got all the bad news out early, on the basis that when a family stops fighting, the facts they were fighting over are still facts. Come referendum day the arguments over the currency and the EU will have given way to cold, hard uncertainty over the consequences of a Yes vote for the currency everyone grew up with and nobody wants to lose. And, they haven't actually embarked on their own national campaign yet. So far, the UK Gov has done its bit, the EU has done its bit, but BT is yet to launch its full-on charm offensive. That gets underway after the European elections, much closer to the actual referendum, when it will matter.
Let's not forget, there has never been a settled majority in favour of separatism in Scotland, the SNP did not win an outright majority at the Holyrood elections in 2011, and the deliberate feeding of unremittingly negative messages into the campaign by the No camp has not resulted in the sort of mass movement against the UK that the seps predicted and are still desperately hoping for.
Once Better Together really gets started, and shows the seps off for the narrow minded, insular, reckless lot they are, the seps will be sunk.

When are they going to get started?
