Border haggis

The leader of the UK Labour Party, Ed Miliband, has warned that a ‘Yes’ vote would lead to guards being sent to patrol England’s northern border with Scotland.

“If you don’t want borders, vote to stay in the United Kingdom,” Miliband, who is Leader of the Opposition at Westminster, told the Scottish Mail on Sunday newspaper.

A spokesman for Miliband later added, “The last time I looked there were two sides to the border – and we would be in charge of one of them. It would be up to us, not Mr. Salmond, to secure our northern border.”
