why he hasn't moved back there ? because the weather is woeful :)

What's not fair Jordy.?

All I am saying is that being English is very likely to influence
ones views on Scottish independence.

If I were English then I would likely vote No.

Being a popular writer doesn't necessarily make you a clear political thinker. In fact, people impressed by her action are just imagining the views of a 'celebrity' are somehow more worthy of consideration than those of anyone else.

I am English SirO and I'm hoping for a yes.

[youngmafbog]

Alex spitting his tatties? So am I.

She is clearly not a true Englander or she would have donated it to the out campaign.

If AB is anything to go by, then the English people wanting the Scots to stay in the UK are in a minority!

[mushroom25]

where does the Ab Editor sit on this - will there be a
"www.theanswerbank.scot"
since Scotland would no longer be represented by ".co.uk"?

[anneasquith]

there appears to be a misconception that anyone who supports independence automatically hate the English. if Scotland gain independence Scotland will not be renamed salmondland, !! mr. salmond is NOT the only politician in Scotland.

And the lottery winners have contributed £5 million to the 'Yes' campaign
In their case I think a gastric band would have been a better investment

[janbee]

I am Scottish and I'm thoroughy ashamed of any voter in Scotland voting a traitorous YES. Shame on them all for being prepared to sell Scotland down the river of no return. The Bank of ECK will have Fat Eck's dial on the 10 groat note and that Sturgeon woman on the 5 bawbee coin. A YES vote will make Scotland a laughing stock. As for that bl**dy Sean C... "ooh I love Scotland , ooh I'd do ANYTHING for Scotland but don't ask me to live there - EVER ! Hypocrite. Yes, we must get rid of that eejit Cammy from #10 but fat Eck is not, will never be, the answer. Well done to JK. There is a couple in Scotland who won gazillions on the Eurolottery and they have donated OVER 80% of the YES campaign money, so fat Eck's palm is well greased with silver.

[janbee]

Ric.ror I agree with you. When I saw them on the telly, I thought that several gastric bands EACH would be in order.

[janbee]

Salmond so obviously hates Scotland and hates the Scots and that is why he is soooo willing and desperate to take us all back hundreds of years and leave us there, languishing in the past. What a joke he is - a very dangerous joke and more fool any mug falling for his lies lies and more lies. If the outcome is YES, God help us ALL from all over the UK. Once the initial euphoria wears off and reality kicks in, then what ...? Too late, no backsies. This isn't something we can vote out after 5 years. This is FOR EVER, for all eternity. NO BACKSIES!!

[anneasquith]

its a pity some abers feel it necessary to comment about some ones weight on a serious thread. :(

[Snafu03]

maybe JK Rowling doesnt want another Darien disaster; the last time Scotland attempted to 'go it alone'. BTW have they ever paid us back for the bail out?

[ChillDoubt]

Their £5 million would have been better spent here one feels:

[Baldric]

Ha ha, "Expelliarmus Fat Boy!"

[Ric.ror]

Sorry you feel that way Anne
Personally I think when there are starving children in the world its a pity some lottery winners don't have more of a conscience - but hey ho
