:00:00. > :00:07.That seems to be the message down south as all three UK party leaders

:00:08. > :00:13.But they are not panicking, you understand,

:00:14. > :00:34.The no campaign are trying harder than ever to look like they really

:00:35. > :00:38.are Better Together, to persuade the voters they can work together

:00:39. > :00:42.to come up with a joint plan to deliver more powers to the Scottish

:00:43. > :00:48.Three Scottish party leaders were out and about, very much together,

:00:49. > :00:52.insisting more devolution will follow a no vote.

:00:53. > :00:55.A saltire was raised over 10 Downing St as David Cameron

:00:56. > :00:58.announced he will be coming to Scotland along with Ed Miliband and

:00:59. > :01:02.Nick Clegg to sell the same message of togetherness, even if they won't

:01:03. > :01:08.And Jim Sillars gives us his personal view

:01:09. > :01:16.of why he thinks working people will be better off voting yes.

:01:17. > :01:21.Not much time for the no campaign to persuade Scotland that they

:01:22. > :01:24.really will deliver substantial new powers in the event of a no vote.

:01:25. > :01:28.And not much time for the unionist parties to agree exactly what those

:01:29. > :01:31.powers will be, if it's all to be sorted out by the end of November.

:01:32. > :01:35.No wonder they're all in a bit of a hurry.

:01:36. > :01:37.Tomorrow, David Cameron, Ed Milliband and Nick Clegg are all

:01:38. > :01:47.rushing up to Scotland to sell the new timetable for more devolutuion.

:01:48. > :01:52.Neither the Prime Minister, his deputy nor the leader of the

:01:53. > :01:56.opposition will attend prime ministers questions tomorrow. They

:01:57. > :02:04.will be too busy campaigning to save the union. Tomorrow, the right place

:02:05. > :02:09.is to be in Scotland, listening to people, talking to people. They will

:02:10. > :02:14.join Scottish colleagues today beginning but maybe a steep

:02:15. > :02:17.challenge to win over the voters with promised new powers if Scotland

:02:18. > :02:24.votes now. But have we not been here before? The Calman Commission and

:02:25. > :02:31.strengthens devolution lead to new powers, but the process took years.

:02:32. > :02:35.The commission reported in 2009, but it was another three years before

:02:36. > :02:42.legislation became law and the new powers do not come into force until

:02:43. > :02:47.2016. So, this time, could unionist parties convince voters they will

:02:48. > :02:52.deliver more devolution and do so in the time frame set out? They have

:02:53. > :02:57.agreed to discuss things later, after the referendum. Gordon Brown

:02:58. > :03:01.gave a timetable involving St Andrews Day and Burns night.

:03:02. > :03:08.Pittodrie list? Of course, what will be achieved, that is another

:03:09. > :03:15.question entirely. Alex Salmond was surprisingly unimpressed. There is

:03:16. > :03:21.nothing new in this package at all. This is repackaging, a new timetable

:03:22. > :03:27.of what was said in the spring. Many questioned why Devo Max wasn't on

:03:28. > :03:32.the ballot paper? Unionist parties are now saying that a no vote is in

:03:33. > :03:38.effect that option. If it really is the best of both worlds, why wasn't

:03:39. > :03:42.the choice there to begin with? If you wish to maximise the chance that

:03:43. > :03:46.Scotland didn't vote for independence, then you would have

:03:47. > :03:51.put Devo Max on the ballot paper. The truth is, both sides on this

:03:52. > :03:55.referendum agreed to play poker. If you play poker, sometimes you lose.

:03:56. > :03:58.So, have the unionist parties played their hand to late?

:03:59. > :04:00.Earlier I talked to our Political Editor Brian Taylor

:04:01. > :04:03.in Edinburgh and I asked him about the dramatic developments

:04:04. > :04:16.A remarkable day today on the campaign Trail, a prediction of

:04:17. > :04:19.unity from both sides. There is the offer from the three Westminster

:04:20. > :04:23.leaders, they are coming to Scotland tomorrow to campaign for the idea of

:04:24. > :04:28.Scotland staying in the union, but a reformed union, putting forward that

:04:29. > :04:32.accelerated timetable to offer a new power to Scotland. We have from the

:04:33. > :04:36.other side, and image that Scotland can unite around the concept of

:04:37. > :04:41.independence and advance the prospects that way. Tonight, also, a

:04:42. > :04:47.remarkable intervention from the palace. There has been speculation

:04:48. > :04:59.about if the Queen would intervene at some point? The link address --

:05:00. > :05:04.the had been suggestions that pressure was put on the palace for

:05:05. > :05:11.her to intervene. Those suggestions are categorically wrong and the

:05:12. > :05:15.Queen regarded as a matter for Scotland's people. Mark Carne,

:05:16. > :05:21.according to the Bank of England, currency is back on the table? Yes,

:05:22. > :05:26.the main thrust has been to argue about the enhanced offer of new

:05:27. > :05:32.powers. To Scotland it has been batted back and forward. Rivals say

:05:33. > :05:36.it is insufficient. But currency is back. Governor Mark Carney making a

:05:37. > :05:41.suggestion in a speech that he was making that the idea of a currency

:05:42. > :05:46.union, as suggested by the Scottish government, and the advocates of

:05:47. > :05:56.independence, they say it is incompatible with sovereignty. Danny

:05:57. > :05:58.Alexander translates that as being incompatible with independence. He

:05:59. > :06:01.says the Governor is ruling out the prospect of an independent Scotland

:06:02. > :06:03.in a currency union. The Financial Secretary in Scotland, John Swinney,

:06:04. > :06:08.response to that by saying that there would be an element of pooling

:06:09. > :06:13.of sovereignty in the independence plan, as put forward by the SNP and

:06:14. > :06:17.others and he says that for example, France and Germany have a shared

:06:18. > :06:21.currency and otherwise pooling sovereignty to that extent, but they

:06:22. > :06:25.are to be regarded as independent nations with full control over

:06:26. > :06:27.fiscal powers and tax and spending. Thank you.

:06:28. > :06:30.I'm joined by a trio of players who were all involved

:06:31. > :06:33.the last time the prounion parties got together to try and agree new

:06:34. > :06:47.We have Annabel Goldie, we have Michael Marra, and we have Tavish

:06:48. > :06:53.Scott. Thank you for coming to join us. Can you take us back to when you

:06:54. > :06:56.all got together to decide that you needed more powers for the Scottish

:06:57. > :07:00.parliament and you would have to hammer out an agreement between

:07:01. > :07:08.you? Annabel Goldie, how difficult was it to get agreement from those

:07:09. > :07:11.parties? It wasn't, but we were in a different place then than we are

:07:12. > :07:14.now, and I was struck by the introduction about the timescale and

:07:15. > :07:18.how this can be done. When the Calman Commission was formed, it was

:07:19. > :07:23.formed with consensus, three party said, let's get this commission

:07:24. > :07:28.formed and look at devolution and recommendations. At that stage,

:07:29. > :07:32.three parties had clean slates in relation to devolution. The big

:07:33. > :07:35.difference between then and now is that all three parties have laid out

:07:36. > :07:41.very different significance proposals about how this should go

:07:42. > :07:46.forward, so in a sense, the bits of the jigsaw or on the table and it is

:07:47. > :07:52.really, what will happen, assuming that we get a no vote on the 18th?

:07:53. > :07:57.That would be the starting gun for the 19th of September for the

:07:58. > :08:01.process to begin. You started, Michael, in 2007, there was the

:08:02. > :08:07.Calman Commission, legislation and the House of Commons, finally passed

:08:08. > :08:12.in 2012 to be acted in 2016, it wasn't quick. No, but there are

:08:13. > :08:19.already packages on the table. There is a significant difference between

:08:20. > :08:22.the mood of the politicians because to be fair, Annabel and her party

:08:23. > :08:26.and Wendy Alexander, in my party in the Labour Party, they struck out to

:08:27. > :08:34.a certain extent and had to bring some politicians with them.

:08:35. > :08:36.Tablet's party were in a different position, but there will now be and

:08:37. > :08:39.there is a clear consensus that these changes, these extra powers

:08:40. > :08:45.have to come. -- Tavish Scott's party. The packages there, we need

:08:46. > :08:48.the consultation period and that is incredibly important. The people of

:08:49. > :08:52.Scotland are clearly ready for it. They had to do have use of this

:08:53. > :08:55.conversation and I think we can deliver a substantial package with

:08:56. > :09:00.the backing of the population. The most important thing is to build a

:09:01. > :09:04.consensus for Scotland. Scotland badly needs that. Tavish Scott, in

:09:05. > :09:26.the years he spent getting ready for this the last time, you laid out a

:09:27. > :09:29.new package of measures, but the three parties did not come to an

:09:30. > :09:31.agreed plan, you had different positions, would this be possible to

:09:32. > :09:33.have one consolidated position? Yes, the timescale and the urgency to

:09:34. > :09:35.show a shared commitment to reforming Scotland. It is also part

:09:36. > :09:38.of healing Scotland after this divisive period that we have had

:09:39. > :09:41.that is not just lasted a couple of weeks, but the thick end of two

:09:42. > :09:45.years. There is a strong urgency and I hope that sensible people in the

:09:46. > :09:49.SNP will come together after a no vote next Thursday and agree how to

:09:50. > :09:53.take this forward to agree on what we're trying to achieve. But to do

:09:54. > :09:57.it in a sensible, constructive way that brings people together after

:09:58. > :10:01.this difficult period for families, communities, individuals have been

:10:02. > :10:10.split by these campaigns. It is time to bring us together and I hope this

:10:11. > :10:12.process could be exactly that. This is an impressive model of mature,

:10:13. > :10:16.agreeable discussion among three Scottish politicians. Annabel

:10:17. > :10:19.Goldie, do the politicians in Westminster get it? Will David

:10:20. > :10:25.Cameron sign a series of things he probably hasn't thought much about

:10:26. > :10:31.before? The Prime Minister not only entirely approved of the setup of

:10:32. > :10:34.the Strathclyde committee, which is the vehicle at looking at devolution

:10:35. > :10:42.and are coming up with the proposals, and I think that he felt

:10:43. > :10:46.that was a very innovative move by the Scottish Conservative sentry

:10:47. > :10:56.lusted was an important contribution to the debate about further powers.

:10:57. > :11:05.-- and he realised it was an important contribution. We look at

:11:06. > :11:10.on the basis of what we have all got and we bring forward proposals on

:11:11. > :11:14.the foundation of giving Scotland or Paris. He could have done and

:11:15. > :11:19.probably arguably should have done this a few months ago, they

:11:20. > :11:25.hesitated until the last minute with this timetable. If there had been

:11:26. > :11:28.some form of enforcement to try and accelerate this process, we might

:11:29. > :11:32.have got a less healthy position than we are at just now, because

:11:33. > :11:37.just now, we have these three parties in their own way, at their

:11:38. > :11:40.own pace, they have all distinctively and differently

:11:41. > :11:44.researched in depth, what they think we need to do. I think it was very

:11:45. > :11:59.important that the three parties did this, and that is why I say the

:12:00. > :12:02.starting point for this is very different to where we were when the

:12:03. > :12:04.Calman Commission was formed. Tavish Scott, do you think Westminster is

:12:05. > :12:07.ready to agree to things already settled in Scotland? I do not think

:12:08. > :12:09.they have a choice. They have to move on and come together. Gordon

:12:10. > :12:11.Brown's speech was helpful, the former Prime Minister pushing

:12:12. > :12:13.Mike's party into a much stronger position on the need to move

:12:14. > :12:17.forward. He also mentioned federalism last night and I am very

:12:18. > :12:21.encouraged by not just what we can achieve in Scotland but I care about

:12:22. > :12:25.the rest of UK as well and I hope that out of what is happening in

:12:26. > :12:43.Scotland, there can be models of new ways and better ways of doing things

:12:44. > :12:45.the whole of the UK. The federal solution is something that liberals

:12:46. > :12:48.and Lib Dems have long since believed in. I think the time is now

:12:49. > :12:50.and is celeb dismissing it, that is one of the unifying factor is that

:12:51. > :12:53.we might all move forward with. There are people across all of the

:12:54. > :12:56.parties that believe in it. That is the future for the UK. It is a way

:12:57. > :12:59.that is entirely compatible with a reformed and stronger Scotland with

:13:00. > :13:01.many more powers and much of the control that we need to make the

:13:02. > :13:05.right decisions and make the right decisions over welfare, tax, all of

:13:06. > :13:19.these aspects to our lives. Michael Marra, Labour are offering less than

:13:20. > :13:22.Annabel and Tavish Scott's parties, do they have to offer more to get

:13:23. > :13:25.agreement? And 's agreement on the table, there is an open consultation

:13:26. > :13:27.period and we will come to an agreement. There are substantial

:13:28. > :13:28.agreement cross parties. The impressive part of this is that

:13:29. > :13:31.there is recognition across-the-board that business as

:13:32. > :13:36.usual has now come to an end. It is clear we are in a process of reform

:13:37. > :13:40.across the UK. There are substantial proposals from the Labour Party to

:13:41. > :13:44.reform or parts of the Constitution, local government, the House of

:13:45. > :13:47.Lords, strengthen the Scottish Parliament and Wales also and there

:13:48. > :13:56.is a package of something that Ed Miliband will be selling in Scotland

:13:57. > :14:00.tomorrow. Thank you. Tonight, Jim Sillars,

:14:01. > :14:02.the former SNP Deputy Leader and husband of the late

:14:03. > :14:04.Margo Macdonald, has made a film. In this piece,

:14:05. > :14:07.he gives us his highly personal take on why he believes the independence

:14:08. > :14:10.vote has led to a huge grassroots movement for independence

:14:11. > :14:12.among the working classes across Scotland, and why they will be

:14:13. > :14:25.so influential in the Referendum. Jim Sellers,... I have been in

:14:26. > :14:32.politics for a long time and in that time I have watched skills and build

:14:33. > :14:36.one way and see a different party elected in Westminster. -- I have

:14:37. > :14:42.watched Scotland vote one way. The party that we did not vote for. But

:14:43. > :14:44.ahead of this referendum, something astonishing is happening.

:14:45. > :14:48.Working-class people are now mobilising all over Scotland and it

:14:49. > :14:54.is under the weight of what we might call the orthodox newspapers and the

:14:55. > :14:59.BBC. This mobilisation is going on at an incredible rate. At public

:15:00. > :15:03.meetings across Scotland, working-class people are turning out

:15:04. > :15:11.in their hundreds to debate independence. 250,000 Scottish

:15:12. > :15:18.children are living in poverty. That is immoral outraged and an economic

:15:19. > :15:22.stupidity. So often in politics, the other folk are the ones that are

:15:23. > :15:27.forgotten about. This time, I believe they are very important

:15:28. > :15:30.people and they will decide the outcome. These meetings are not

:15:31. > :15:35.unusual. They are being held all over Scotland and they are part of

:15:36. > :15:45.the greatest civic movement that our country has ever seen and it is a

:15:46. > :15:47.great source of pride to the working people discover themselves. Their

:15:48. > :15:49.intellectual ability and their belief that they can run their

:15:50. > :15:59.country better than anyone else from south the border.

:16:00. > :16:10.I have been out on the campaign trail and so have volunteers. Have

:16:11. > :16:18.you ever taken part in a campaign like this before? No. Full eye out

:16:19. > :16:25.night knocking on the Bulls doors. It is incredible how criticised

:16:26. > :16:41.people have become. -- knocking on doors. It is almost too exciting.

:16:42. > :16:49.I have seen the destruction caused by Westminster to our engineering

:16:50. > :17:02.and industrial base. Someone who saw this damage at close hand was this

:17:03. > :17:07.union convener. Somebody said, why are so many people registering to

:17:08. > :17:11.vote. I said because they will not be voting for politicians. They will

:17:12. > :17:18.be voting for the future of the country. It is important that people

:17:19. > :17:23.realise that. It is not a vote for the SNP, Labour, or Alex Salmond. It

:17:24. > :17:35.is a thought for the future of your country. It is a vote for a favour

:17:36. > :17:40.-- for a favour society. Independents will enable new

:17:41. > :17:45.industries to be developed. I don't hear on the Firth of Clyde. There is

:17:46. > :17:51.oil and gas under there that was kept secret. Now we know about it.

:17:52. > :18:01.We can produce a new industry for all of their share, Inverclyde,

:18:02. > :18:05.Dumbarton, Clydebank. We are talking about high-quality jobs,

:18:06. > :18:11.high-quality wages, and especially real apprenticeships for our young

:18:12. > :18:15.people. Of course there is one person who saw the opportunities

:18:16. > :18:23.that independence would bring perhaps clearer than anyone else. My

:18:24. > :18:34.late wife. Margo MacDonald said you are better than you are taught to

:18:35. > :18:44.believe you are. She wanted to eliminate that myth. That is their

:18:45. > :18:47.message that I am carrying. I hope that it proves effective because she

:18:48. > :18:57.fought all her life for independence. I would like to be

:18:58. > :19:09.able to tell her, we did it. I am carrying her message to

:19:10. > :19:17.communities. Better Together, better for who? Not for disabled people or

:19:18. > :19:26.people living in poverty. Is this as good as it gets? People going to

:19:27. > :19:32.food banks. That is a disgrace. With just over one week to go I would

:19:33. > :19:34.like people to remember one thing. On September the 18th between the

:19:35. > :19:40.hours of seven o'clock in the morning and ten o'clock at night, we

:19:41. > :19:47.the people of Scotland are softened for the first time in our lives. If

:19:48. > :19:54.at one minutes past ten we have faulted no we have thrown that away

:19:55. > :19:57.forever. But if at that time we have voted yes we keep the sovereign

:19:58. > :20:06.power in Scotland is to make a better country forever.

:20:07. > :20:12.Jim Sillars is here in the studio along with Ian Davidson.

:20:13. > :20:18.Let me ask you about what we were talking about. The new timetable to

:20:19. > :20:30.set out powers in the event of a No vote. It is a dead duck. No one has

:20:31. > :20:34.mentioned the English members of Parliament. This would have to go

:20:35. > :20:39.through Westminster, where the majority are in fact not Scots.

:20:40. > :20:44.Scotland cannot take more powers, they have to be given more hours.

:20:45. > :20:50.That is why we have three UK party leaders coming tomorrow. Party

:20:51. > :20:59.leaders are different. I have experience of this. I watched MPs of

:21:00. > :21:05.all parties who were unhappy about additional powers coming to Scotland

:21:06. > :21:10.mobilised to make sure it did not happen. Her study shows that you had

:21:11. > :21:18.better take account of what the English members of Parliament say

:21:19. > :21:25.before you make any promises. -- fist officials. There is not any

:21:26. > :21:30.promise at the end of the day. Even what Gordon Brown has offered, I was

:21:31. > :21:39.at a meeting in, neck tonight, people were laughing at it. They

:21:40. > :21:44.were seeing, why now? Is it only because the Yes campaign won an

:21:45. > :21:50.opinion poll. They are the same powers that have been promised for a

:21:51. > :21:58.while. Let us return to the theme of the film from Jim Sillars. It was a

:21:59. > :22:03.powerful arguments. It raises the question that many working people

:22:04. > :22:08.might ask. If we are Better Together, why are not Better

:22:09. > :22:13.Together already? Things can always get better. Things can also get

:22:14. > :22:18.worse. What was disgraceful about the film is that it is peddling a

:22:19. > :22:22.myth that the working class will be liberated in some way, that's the

:22:23. > :22:28.ball socialist programme is what will be implemented if we have

:22:29. > :22:34.independence. Let us be clear. The SNP and Alex Salmond and making it

:22:35. > :22:38.explicit that a Yes vote is a mandate for the proposals in the

:22:39. > :22:43.White Paper and they are redistributive, but they are

:22:44. > :22:46.redistributed in favour of the rich. A captain Corporation tax for

:22:47. > :22:53.example. It is also clear that the SNP do not support the Labour

:22:54. > :22:57.proposal on the 50p rate of income tax which is redistributive in

:22:58. > :23:02.favour of ordinary working people. They do not support the idea of an

:23:03. > :23:08.energy fleas. The idea that voting yes will be a socialist liberation

:23:09. > :23:12.is a deception. Other arms of the Yes campaign are speaking to

:23:13. > :23:16.business and seeing you will get what you want. The dishonesty at the

:23:17. > :23:20.core of a lot of the yes campaigners that they are saying different

:23:21. > :23:26.things to different people in order to fool enough of the people once to

:23:27. > :23:32.win independence. The only tax proposal is to cut corporation tax.

:23:33. > :23:41.What does the ballot papers say? It says nothing about a White Paper.

:23:42. > :23:46.This is the bankrupt Labour Party. The Scottish Government is entitled

:23:47. > :23:50.to its point of view, but so is the radical independence campaign, so as

:23:51. > :23:55.the Scottish Socialist party, so as the Green Party, so are people from

:23:56. > :24:01.all parties taking part. We will decide what happens to Scotland in

:24:02. > :24:08.2016 in the first independent selection. It could be a Labour

:24:09. > :24:14.Government. What we are getting is about the SNP. It is not about the

:24:15. > :24:19.SNP. It is about my grandchildren, everybody else's grandchildren, and

:24:20. > :24:25.the Scottish nation. That is the only argument they can put up. Alex

:24:26. > :24:34.Salmond has never said that you vote for this and you endorse the White

:24:35. > :24:38.Paper. Yes he has. He has not. Constitutionally you are correct.

:24:39. > :24:44.Any Government could be elected in 2016. It could be a Labour

:24:45. > :24:57.Government. If it is a Yes vote who will be conducting the negotiations?

:24:58. > :25:14.We want to know. It will be the Scottish Government. They cannot

:25:15. > :25:19.even tell us. Do you think the SNP will not have a majority on that? Do

:25:20. > :25:24.you think they could be overturned? It defies belief. We do not even

:25:25. > :25:29.know what the negotiating team will have in terms of the currency. Have

:25:30. > :25:33.a position where they could be overturned? They will go

:25:34. > :25:36.negotiations with commitments the date in the White Paper. The cruelty

:25:37. > :25:41.to working people is that because these things are not made explicit

:25:42. > :25:45.at the moment, they do not know what the mortgage rate will be, they do

:25:46. > :26:00.not know how many of them will have jobs in the event of a Yes vote, and

:26:01. > :26:04.it is a cruel deception. Jim Sillars, there was a moving

:26:05. > :26:10.reference in your film to your late wife. She said if you things before

:26:11. > :26:16.she died, that she was concerned about the tone of the campaign. How

:26:17. > :26:26.do you think she reads consider the last few weeks have gone? I think it

:26:27. > :26:30.has been oche. We have never ever blamed the No campaign, unlike Jim

:26:31. > :26:39.Murphy, who immediately blamed the Yes campaign. This happens at

:26:40. > :26:51.elections. This is not unusual. I do not mind somebody throwing an egg at

:26:52. > :26:58.me. But Ian is at the fair campaign. Trident is going to go. When Trident

:26:59. > :27:01.goes we can open up the Clyde for the oil and gas exploitation that

:27:02. > :27:15.the Tories and your Government have hidden from us since 1981. You

:27:16. > :27:22.should be ashamed of yourself. Gentlemen, we will have to leave it

:27:23. > :27:33.there. There is a flying pig going by. A cruel deception. That is it.

:27:34. > :27:39.We have no more time. Quiet, both of you. You are intellectually

:27:40. > :27:43.bankrupt. Thank you for coming in. It is not only across the UK that

:27:44. > :27:55.the Scottish referendum has been making headlines.

:27:56. > :27:59.A Spanish newspaper reports that Ed Camelon -- David Cameron, Ed

:28:00. > :28:08.Miliband, and Nick Clegg are travelling to Scotland for the No

:28:09. > :28:17.campaign. CNN it gives the viewers a guide on Scottish independence.

:28:18. > :28:30.With me now to take a look at the rest of the day 's news.

:28:31. > :28:34.One of the interesting things that has come up today has been in

:28:35. > :28:37.message from Buckingham Palace. There has been speculation about

:28:38. > :28:41.whether there was pressure put on the Queen to get involved in the

:28:42. > :28:45.referendum campaign. It will see she is concerned about the break-up of

:28:46. > :28:49.the union. Buckingham Palace said it is categorically wrong that she is

:28:50. > :28:53.going to say anything at all. Will the idea that she is worried about

:28:54. > :29:00.the break-up of the union affect anybody's fault? I think it will.

:29:01. > :29:04.The majority of people in Scotland are lost. They would like to keep

:29:05. > :29:12.the royal family. They admire the Queen. She made a comment earlier

:29:13. > :29:16.this year. A statement of hers was read out to open the General

:29:17. > :29:20.Assembly free she spoke about the need to heal divisions that have

:29:21. > :29:24.been treated by the referendum campaign. It sounded like she was

:29:25. > :29:27.worried about it. Our Scottish voters concerned about the idea that

:29:28. > :29:31.the Queen might not want to see the union pick-up Western backed it is

:29:32. > :29:36.obvious the Queen does not want to see a pick-up. It would be strange

:29:37. > :29:40.if she said, you are all right. I like the fact they have said that

:29:41. > :29:49.the Queen is saying nothing. There is a statement that she is not begin

:29:50. > :29:55.a statement. It is a given that the Queen does not want Scotland and

:29:56. > :30:00.England to have a situation. It is historic that they do not like that.

:30:01. > :30:05.But fair play for her coming out and saying, I am seeing nothing. I quite

:30:06. > :30:09.like that idea. At least it means David Cameron will not have Tory MPs

:30:10. > :30:18.demanding that the Queen say something. The statement was made

:30:19. > :30:23.today. There were demands for David Cameron to ask the Queen for a

:30:24. > :30:28.statement. Alex Salmond also made a remark about how the Queen would be

:30:29. > :30:33.happy to be the Queen of Scots. She will remain as head of state

:30:34. > :30:36.whatever happens. I am sorry that was soberly. We will be back

:30:37. > :30:40.tomorrow. Goodbye.
