Letters / Who pays when it goes wrong?
I have just read Louise Thomason’s article and find some of it very disturbing (Independence: wading through the arguments; SN 5/4/14).
She says that the No campaigners are calling the Yes campaigners bigoted nationalists, but I can assure her that is not the view of all No voters.
And what’s more, has she taken the time to see what her wonderful Yes campaigners are trying to do with ex-pats from Shetland who have for whatever reason left these islands to live elsewhere?
If the Yes campaigners have their way then no ex-pat will be allowed to have a vote on Shetland’s part in independence.
Like many people I am against what the Westminster government is doing, but do you really think going independent is going to solve anything.
If for whatever reason (heaven forbid) Scotland did win the Yes vote and everything went wrong, who is going to pay the piper then; not the Yes voters that’s for sure.
