Did not realise things were that bad almost sounds like out of Clive Cussler's Night Train which continues the adventure of Dirk Pitt and the NUMA Agency caught up between a Marxist and Sov backed Free Quebec movement led by a ruthless KGB trained terrorist in cahoots with a Quebec minister and on top of that a semi retired British Intelligence agent wanting to disrupt the US. Government and NUMA from salvaging a train and a ship in US and Canada which holds a document signed by Woodrow Wilson and the King of England handing over Canada to the USA.
In the beginning the Quebec terrorists are claimed to be responsible for many murders and act of terrorism including - shooting down of the Canadian PM aircraft with stolen British made hand held SAMS (fictionally named but probably based on the Blowpipe missile as the Canadian Army had them )
Anyhow what you also paint can be a bleak picture w.r.t the Scots ..in essence could it end up like the Troubles in NI?
What's the odds Scotland will go independent in reality .... And us lot down South will let it be?
