Cable shorts screaming for "freedom" as odds surge for Scotland pro-independence vote via ForexLive

The British Empire is crumbling and so is the pound. It's down more than a cent on the day to 1.6497. It's all about Scotland at the moment as the Sept 18 independence referendum nears.

The latest YouGov poll for the Scottish referendum put the No vote at 53% and Yes (for independence) at 47% with the gap narrowing to 6 points from 14 points a month ago.

The bookies have quickly taken note and Paddy Power is now offering 5/2 for independence compared 7/2 yesterday and 9/2 a week ago.

If the big figure gives way, check the order board for the next level of bidders.
