 "UK PM warns Scottish independence would be 'painful divorce'")
British Prime Minister David Cameron during a visit to Scotland today warned that if the country voted for independence from the UK, it would not be a "trial separation" but a "painful divorce".
"There is no going back from this, no re-run. This is a once-and-for-all decision," he said in Aberdeen in by far his most forceful speech to date ahead of Thursday's referendum.
"Head, heart and soul, we want you to stay," he said.
He said Scotland's pro-independence government had outlined a future that was "too good to be true", adding: "I don't want the people of Scotland to be sold a dream that will disappear."
A "Yes" victory would be "the end of a country that all of us call home and we built this home together," he said.
