Here is something to chew over

The Scots don't need a referendum
Under international law, the only effect one Independent State can have upon another Independent State is through the obligation and terms of a bi-lateral Treaty. This principle is embodied in Article 27 of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties, that states: a “…party may not invoke the provisions of its internal law as justification for its failure to perform a treaty.”
The UK Government draws up on its LEGAL BASIS from Union with Scotland Act 1706 and or the Union with England Act 1707 Article 4 of the Act of Union states: "That all the subjects of the United Kingdom of Great Britain shall from and after the Union………have the same Rights Privileges and Advantages"
However, since devolution the people of England & Scotland, have had different rights, privileges and advantages.
The treaty of union is therefore null and void and England or Scotland can withdraw using the provision of Article 61 of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties .
Article 61 Supervening impossibility of performance
A party may invoke the impossibility of performing a treaty as a ground for terminating or withdrawing from it if the impossibility results from the permanent disappearance or destruction of an object indispensable for the execution of the treaty. If the impossibility is temporary, it may be invoked only as a ground for suspending the operation of the treaty.

High Speed Rail (letter to my MP)
Here we are Mr Stevenson, 2012 and good old 'Dave' (our rouge Prime Minister) is chanting that the Olympics and Diamond Jubilee will help get Britain 'up to strength'?
Well, in the colloquial vernacular: BOLLOCK's
As my elected representative (yes, I did vote Tory) lets put your legal training to our advantage.
If you are not familiar with, I would suggest you look up 'Pepper v Hart' and then think about asking the following questions in the house.
Theoretically, HS2 approval will only, be controversial while the track is being laid, this will be the only portion where local unskilled labour will be required.
However,
Who will make the steel for the tracks? Who will roll the steel for the tracks? Who will make the sleepers? Who will provide the rolling stock and the locomotives? Who will provide the signalling, and manufacture the signalling hardware? Who will write the signalling software? Who will make the "communications" equipment?
Oh dear "communications"
The United Kingdom is bound to comply with European Union Directives and with agreements entered into by the European Union with other countries.

"albatross around the neck of British businesses"
David Cameron has said that his new year's resolution is to "kill off the health and safety culture for good".
Health and safety legislation has become an "albatross around the neck of British businesses", costing them billions of pounds a year and leaving entrepreneurs in fear of speculative claims, he said. Telegraph
Well Dave, on 12 June 1989 during the last Conservative Government, the first European Union health and safety directive was adopted: Framework Directive 89/391/EEC
EU directives on health and safety at work have their legal foundation in Article 153 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (ex Article 137 TEC), which gives the EU the authority to adopt directives in this field.
The Court of Justice attributes the legal basis for the interpretation of national law in line with European Union law to the general principle of sincere cooperation (Article 4(3) TEU). Under this article, Member States must take all appropriate measures, whether general or particular, to ensure fulfilment of the obligations arising out of the EU Treaty or resulting from action taken by the European Union institutions.
Article 4(3) TEU states: ‘Pursuant to the principle of sincere cooperation, the [European] Union and the Member States shall, in full mutual respect, assist each other in carrying out tasks which flow from the Treaties.The Member States shall take any appropriate measure, general or particular, to ensure fulfilment of the obligations arising out of the Treaties or resulting from the acts of the institutions of the [European] Union.The Member States shall facilitate the achievement of the [European] Union's tasks and refrain from any measure which could jeopardise the attainment of the [European] Union's objectives.’
