Obviously he loves his country so much that why he lives, err in England! PMSL!

Sean Connery is a well-known supporter of the SNP, but lives in Bermuda ( I think...overseas anyway )

Billy Connolly once described Connery as the only Scotsman he knows with brown knees !

yes but surely credibility is lost if you don't even live in the place you are trying to convince others needs to leave the UK.

TTT...I am guessing here but wouldn't there be many 10,000's of Scotsmen who no longer live in Scotland, due to various reasons ?

But yes....it does appear to weaken the agument, I would agree.

[albaqwerty]

never heard of him or them, so they must be famous eh?

Wings over Scotland? stupid name.

[ToraToraTora]

yes, perhaps but if you think so little of the place that you don't even live there then to me you should not have any sort of say and any opinion is sterile at best.

Typical of many English residents; hate the country that gives you a home and protection.

I wonder if this one is on benefits too? There is only reference to a previous, rather dubious, employment.

There is nothing wrong with Scottish living anywhere in the UK, but as you say TTT, if you are a campaigner to leave the union it is very hypocritical to then live in the country you want to leave rather than the one you want independence for.

Arrant nonsense! People may choose - or be obliged for one reason or another - to live in all sorts of places which aren't necessarily the place they think of as "home". Nevertheless, the future of that "home" might still be of much more concern to them than their place of domicile.
