Meant as a term of endearment. I'm personally delighted that the United Kingdom is still United.

Some comments on social media from yes voters/campaigners are absolutely disgraceful. Apparently NO voters are (amongst other things) cowardly p(infractionns). Shocking behaviour! So much for accepting the majority decision! To paraphrase a well known dirge perhaps they should go home tae think again.
Salmond should go now, after all Cameron's jaiket was apparently on a shoogly peg last week. Will he do the decent thing? Will he go? Will he hell!
Thankfully the majority saw through the nonsense, scaremongering (yep a lot of it was), negativity toward our union of nations, bluster and fag packet economics of the yes campaign and have expressed their desire to remain in this wonderful United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
I now hope our dear friends and neighbours get satisfaction with regards the West Lothian question as well. I feel they deserve it.
On a personal note I no longer need to feel embarrassed about the possibility of walking away from a moral duty to pay a share of the debt. Nor do I need to feel embarrassed about the barely concealed (from some,certainly not all) dislike/contempt/hatred of England and/or its people.
The union is good, the union is strong and the union is intact! Better together, stronger together and staying together!
Tonight I shall rejoice and the wine will flow.
RULE BRITANNIA.

I've had enough of this rubbish, some pretty unfriendly comments on here towards my country.
BTW Salmond has resigned.

They only seem to be from the YES camp?! Everyone else has been pretty positive and friendly.
Have a good flounce though.

And the promises made in the last two weeks by the three amigos and then fronted up by Gordon Brown - are they unravelling not even one day in? Brilliant...

Ah yes - seen the headline - shame it doesn't really match up to what has been actually said
Mr Miliband said the public must be fully involved in a "comprehensive and credible process" to decided how power is dispersed in England, as well as Wales and Northern Ireland.
"The Labour Party will not now sit back and put up a 'business as usual' sign over Westminster," he said. "Nor will I allow this moment to be used for narrow party political advantage.
"We need a response that matches the scale of this moment. That starts with delivering on our promise of further powers to Scotland.
"But other people in Britain, including England, now deserve the chance to shape their own futures with a dynamic devolution settlement."
'More of a voice'
Mr Miliband says he wants a constitutional convention, in the autumn of 2015 to determine the extent of changes needed outside of Scotland, not merely confined to the "Westminster elite".
He said each English region would produce a series of recommendations "covering how sub-national devolution can be strengthened; how the regions can be given more of a voice in our political system; how we can give further voice to regional and national culture and identity'".
These proposals, he added, would then be debated by the Constitutional Convention, with its recommendations then considered by Parliament.
Mr Miliband said reform of the House of Commons, including the role of English and Scottish MPs, would be considered as part of this, as would the case for replacing the House of Lords with a new Senate of the Nations and Regions.

So the 3 Westminster parties agreement lasted a whole 12 hours after the declaration.

No, not the case. People need to read beyond headlines
