Letters / No campaign hypocrisy

“It is an in/out choice, there is no going back!” Better Together shout from the newspaper headlines on the referendum.

We agree, David Cameron’s EU referendum is a frightening prospect for the UK.

“The Scottish Government should hold their referendum sooner, two years is too long to wait” accuses David Cameron and Better Together, announcing in 2013 that an EU referendum will be held in four years time”.

“The largest UK bank to be bailed out in history is the Royal Bank of Scotland” warns the leader of Better Together, Alistair Darling, when it was Barclay’s Bank Plc, 1 Churchill Way, Canary Wharf, London – bailed by the Federal Reserve to the tune of $868 billion, or £457 billion, see page 131 of the USA’s Government Audit Office’s first ever audit of the reserve.

A cross in the box next to YES on the 18th of September ends all this deception.
