Riots in Belfast could Edinburgh be next

         Days of violent riots in Belfast in Northern Ireland and 10 policeman injured. Their secretary of State Theresa Villiers talks out -
               "The terribly damaging thing is the image being projected around the world whilst Ireland is in a  global race for investment and jobs"

And all because of a flag (The British Union Jack) hoisted at the top of a council building for a couple of days less a week.
But -
How would I feel if our Edinburgh District Council decided that the Union Jack should be up less often than before?
Well
I would be very upset and so would many others who do not want Scottish Independence.
Would it lead to riots?  - Possibly
And like Northern Ireland, Scotland is also in a global race for investment and jobs and it would detract from that in a big way.
Everything about this Independence issue detracts from the real issues for a prosperous, healthy and happy Scotland
