    If the yes vote happens will the Great Britain name be changed and will The Jacobite becomeThe Jockabite

    No need. The Jacobite represents (commemorates) a historical actuality and Great Britain is a geographic term. The United Kingdom will be what gets amended by a yes vote not the landmass. It is the same comparison as North America to the USA - the former includes Canada and part of Mexico the latter (USA) most definitely does not.

    Name suggestion - the former Western Region name of The Capitals United could be recycled to a London Edinburgh tour as the The Capitals Disunited.

    Please forgive this political view and what is a pro-Uk but not just an English view. Let us hope sanity prevails and the UK remains a single entity. As a Yorkshireman resident in the S West I think there is a problem but in my view it is the power of London not of most of England - all of the UK regions except the S East have a problem with London centric politics and views - together we are stronger is a very good slogan but wrongly targeted. Devolve London and the S East and leave the rest united.

    Careful, Edward Longshanks is still a divisive figure, not just in Scotland. ;-)

    Not if we leave the rest as "No-man's Land" in case of future border disputes then there is somewhere neutral to have discussions.
