I have read the white paper Jim.

As someone with much to lose or gain, I am taking an interest. I have personally invested in both companies and property north of the border, and a letter the other week from one of the companies said that should business risk he increased by the outcome, the board (of which I am a non executive director) would consider relocating. Not much in itself, although say that to the 67 people who would have to relocate or leave, but many others are looking and waiting. I repeat once again the BP stance.

I would also reiterate that it is right that only those resident should vote but anyone with an interest can and should throw a view.

Out of interest, I hadn't read Darling's withering review of the white paper before I came to many similar conclusions as he did.

The UK would still exist and would not require itself to reapply to The EU. If that were the case, Cameron would welcome Scot independence as a tool for his backbenchers to wield.

Sorry but I remain astonished how blinkered many people are to facts here. If the electorate can sort fact from opinion, then fine but my faith in democracy is borne of necessity rather than reason .....
