Robert Peston has an article on the cost of the break up of the UK here. The short term costs both north and south of the border are severe, a fact that people in rUK haven't really woken up to. It would also have an implication for post indyref negotiations. If the English etc. see the Scots as having imposed unecessary costs on them, are they likely to be as warm and welcoming to Scots demands as many yes campaigners seem to assume?
Added to all that will be the longer term costs that none of us really know about as the UK unravels, and companies move, new barriers are introduced and so on.
