Why no riots on the streets of England?

Had the vote go another way Scotland would now be heading for independence in April 2016. If that been the case the UK would have been dealing with 'runs on sterling' and the Bank of England no doubt would have to step into the market to calm shredded nerves and a lot more besides. How did we allow a situation arise where we so phlegmatically watched this event without any civil disturbance? What was it that prevented the rest of the UK from rioting? Perhaps its that deep collective unconscious feeling that the Scots had the right to determine their future in the way they felt appropriate for them. Nevertheless this would have had profound implication on the rest of us, no least pensions, standard of living, recession. and a lot more besides. Not to mention our collective security and Trident and internationalisation of terrorism. The British constitution would have been thrown into the air, and god knows where it would have landed? When historians look back on this date, they will marvel that the rest of the UK allowed the Scots to have command over their lives in such a profound manner without rioting onto the streets of London, Cardiff and Belfast.
With Alex Salmond leaving the stage this is a changing of the guard in Scottish politics. He has been both a divisive and bolshie politicians, but almost delivered interdependence for Scotland. The pale lukewarm politicians from  Westminster were callow in their understating of the issues. Only Gordon Brown got to grips with the seriousness of the the undercurrents that were working away at the genitals of the elite Bullingdon Club.
No doubt the Queen and her advisers are also relieved that the constitution isn't like Humpty Dumpty and 'couldn't put Humpty together again'.
