Uk Prime Minister David Cameron, thats not him, thats alistair darling, but the uk Prime Minister David Cameron just a few hours ago addressed the nation. Good morning. The people of scotland have spoken. And it is a clear result. They have kept our country of four nations together. And like millions of other people, i am delighted. As i said during the campaign, it would have broken my heart to see our United Kingdom come to an end. The british pound rallied sharply overnight as the results started to roll in. Weve seen it pullback now, but still above 163, almost to 164. So maybe some of that priced in. But you can see the rise overnight. Let me show you wha
