"Its just an opinion. Why does it need evidence?
But since you asked, England is hardly a popular country around the globe at the best of times so the break up of the Union can only make things worse."
Because making a wild statement like that should be backed up with some facts and figures.
"Independence for Scotland would be very bad news for the English economy and how they are viewed by overseas investors. Trade links with England would dry up, the pound would go into free fall and the recession would become a depression."
The British economy is not dependent on Scotland, people will trade with Britain regardless of whether Scotland is part of the Union and I would put a bet that Scotland leaving would not take Britain into recession or depression.
Scotlands economy is a pimple on the butt of the British Economy.
That's a bit like saying if Australia became a republic, a major shift will occur with how the rest of the world views us !
As though they really give a damn.
And as for popular, no more or less so than any other country.
