Scotland Independence Referendum: United Kingdom Prime Minister David Cameron Says Assassination Would Be ‘A Welcome Release’

Sep 19, 2014 04:55 AM EDT | By Staff Reporter

With pressure over Scotland Independence referendum continuing to rise up, United Kingdom Prime Minister David Cameron said that an assassination would be 'a welcome release.' The 48-year old leader said this as reference to a new novel by Andrew Marr called Head of State. This novel involves a plot to kill a fictional UK Prime Minister.

'I have to say that after the events I've been facing over the past few day, assassination would be a welcome release,' he said.

While Cameron still finds time to make jokes, the tension in the upcoming Scottish Independence Referendum is definitely rising. Cameron is under pressure right now to hand over his position if ever most Scots vote to separate their country from the United Kingdom. The public is expected to put the blame on Cameron once Scotland, which has been part of the sovereign state since God knows when, becomes independent. However, he cleared that he has no intention to resign whatever the result is of the Scotland Independence Referendum.

"My name is not on the ballot paper," he said during the Better Together campaign in Hampshire last Wednesday.

"What's on the ballot paper is 'does Scotland want to stay in the United Kingdom, or does Scotland want to separate itself from the United Kingdom?'.

"That's the only question that will be decided on Thursday night.

"The question about my future will be decided at the British general election coming soon."

"If you don't like me - I won't be here forever," he said.

"If you don't like this Government - it won't last forever. But if you leave the UK - that will be forever."

David Cameron himself said that he, too, will not be ready on the result of the Scotland Independence referendum.

"It is my duty to be clear about the likely consequences of a yes vote. Independence would not be a trial separation. It would be a painful divorce."

He also urged people to be smarter with their decision.

"I also know that the people who are running the yes campaign are painting a picture of a Scotland that is better in every way, and they can be good at painting that picture. But when something looks too good to be true, that's usually because it is."
