Subject: RE: BS: lets develop Scotland
I know that you are normally factually correct Mr T, but people selling small houses in the South of England for large sums then coming into the Scottish property market have certainly inflated house prices here and that inflation works its way through to the rental sector.

If your figure of 800.000 is correct, it is only a tiny percentage of the English population and as I have said would make little difference to voting returns.
The voting intentions of the English in Scotland are sure to be a serious factor in the referendum result.
Of course everyone living here has the right to vote, but does it not seem hypocritical to come here, take advantage of the social benefits fought for by the Scottish Government, then vote against their declared policies?
BTW the word "immigrant" was used tongue in cheek, for the benefit of our mutual friend Ian.....as I'm sure you're well aware.

Didn't know YOU were a Scot Mr T.....my goodness, that explains your command of facts and your ability to see through much of the bullshit we have to put up with.

Sorry you wont be voting Yes.
What will you do if Scotland votes FOR independence?
