Some real eye-opening statements today with RBS, Standard Life, The Scotsman Newspaper, The Financial Times, and John Lewis Partnership all giving their own views on Independent Scotland, and each concluding that we should #voteNO These are not individuals allowing their emotions to dominate, but major corporations with the financial and human resources to do their due diligence, investigating the potential benefits and risks. I love this part of the summary from The Scotsman newspaper; Does the Union cast a dark shadow over us? It does not seem that way, Scotland is a prosperous, peaceful, successful country. We are confident in our national identity with our own distinctive society. We have our history and heritage. So, with the choices before us, the conclusion is that we are better together, that Scotland’s best interests lie not in creating division but in continuing in the Union and using its strengths to help us continue in our success. That is not a view taken because of fear, or lack of confidence, or lack of patriotism. It is the very opposite. It is not a view that simply does not want to take risk. It is a measured view that assesses risk against possible benefit and loss. It is seeing where the best interests of the Scottish people lie, understanding the benefits of working with the people in these islands in collaboration and partnership and seeing the opportunity to shape the strongest, most secure, fair and just society that we all want. https://facebook/notes/mike-berry/no-i-do-not-support-scottish-independence/10151697853191954?comment_id=10152260534986954&offset=0&total_comments=287
