JK Rowling, the multimillionaire author, says it's too risky to be independant.
If only she stayed on benefits and said - it's too risky to write a book - its a pipe dream?

There are many who think 'yes' and there are many who think 'no'. No-one actually knows which is best and the only fact is is we won't ever know.

That's what the Scots have needed all along an English woman to come along and lecture them about independence and just case they don't follow her recommendations she's going to buy a no vote with her vast wealth.
Author, you can't but think she's a bit of a frustrated politician. All that money and no real power. She must spend her life with people bowing and scraping to her I bet if that was the average persons existence their ego would go through the roof. If she want's political power she should stand for office not try and buy influence with all that money. |

If you need to find out any more about the above subject look in the dictionary under BONO I think there's a simple calculation you can do, times the fan level by the cash level, this'll give you a more or less an approximate idea of how dilutional the individual is likely to be. |

Lottery winners giving millions of pounds to YES and to the SNP are quite another matter.

OP -- If only she stayed on benefits and said - it's too risky to write a book - its a pipe dream?
The downside risk of JK Rowling not writing a book is that we'd not have seen Daniel Radcliffe's manhood on the West End stage. The downside risk of Scottish independence is that Scots who aren't millionaire authors are poorer than they would have been in the UK, and even more so when the oil runs out. |

How much time and money is being spent on this issue?
The jocks will never vote for it in a million years. They aren't that daft. All the talk about their proud heritage and nationalism and it turns out they would vote either way if it was worth an extra couple of hundred quid a year to their sporrans. Can England have a vote on whether we want to cut them adrift? |

serious question, is there a very significant number of Yes voters who would like Scotland not to be in the EU?
|
|
By:
NO.

If they can't get this through they should call it a day. It's little more than the political equivalent of camping in the back garden: keeping the Queen, keeping the pound. Bunch of amateurs.

You don't.
Next time you're asked to tick the relevant nationality checkbox on a form from the govt. leave them all blank. |

Yes voters seem to be an aggressive lot , have to question their judgement.

By:
Watch that aggression develop into violence when the NO camp wins the vote.

Whatever Gordon Brown advocates, vote the opposite and you won't be far wrong.
