What I take away from it is, whether "yes" or "no" today, the breakup of GB seems functionally inevitable.

It scares me a bit for nationalistic (or regionalistic) prospects in the rest of the world, not least of which right here in the good old US of A, whose union is less old than that of Britain, and whose regional differences might be even greater than those between the Scots and the English.
