No, but are all Scots going to sit still while they are dragged down a path the large majority do not want? Seccessionist violence blooms surprisingly quickly - see the breakup of yugoslavia.

There's no indication that secessionist violence is at all warranted. There was a whole referendum on independence 2 years ago...does anybody think that that if Scotland had voted "Leave", the referendum would have been ignored and secession thwarted? Let Scotland hold another referendum before talking about the possibility of separatist violence.

They've already said they're not giving Scotland another referendum.

Who are "they"? The two major parties in Westminster are too busy imploding right now, so I'm genuinely curious what you're referring to.
