THE idea of Britain is “at the end of the road” with successive polls showing support for Scotland leaving the UK “not a normal situation”, according to a leading historian.
Stuart Ward, professor of British imperial history at The Saxo Institute, University of Copenhagen, also said it was “obvious” that UK Prime Ministers were rejecting another independence referendum because they “don’t trust people to invest their hearts in the Union”.
And he argued the death of Queen Elizabeth and accession of Charles III will also accelerate the end of Britain.
