"I may have just sold my soul to the Devil"
Jim Callaghan 2nd March 1979
SCOTLAND SAYS YES!!!
The United Kingdom has started on the path to disintegration after Scotland voted for devolution. In a narrow result the Scots voted in favour of their own parliament by 53% to 47% and despite attempts to scupper the bill 42.6% of the electorate voted.
As soon as it became apparent that the pro-devolution side had won there were riotous celebrations in Edinburgh and Glasgow. The leader of the Conservatives Margaret Thatcher said that the vote was a dark day in the long, proud history of the United Kingdom
Wales voted against devolution by a 4 to 1 majority
