If we vote Yes on Thursday the margin of ­victory is likely to be extremely small. We shall start life as a new state divided against ­ourselves. In the difficult birth – the potential problems with currency, the EU and Nato have been well aired and do not need repeating here – those divisions are more likely to deepen than to heal. There will be recrimination and reckoning. If you doubt this, ask Jim Sillars.
