Why shouldn't she donate to whoever she wants?
Didn't hear anyone complaining when the couple who won the Euromillions donated a further £2.5million a year after donating £1million to the Yes campaign.
You just havn't visited the same forums as me...trust me. the Nawbags were livid that the Weirs, a Scottish couple, donated their money to the Yes Campaign..
JK Rowling = English...see the difference here.
I wonder what she will get in the New Years Honours list....My bet is on Dame JK Rowling.

Ah yes. The epic failure of a film called " Braveheart". Produced, directed and starring the racist wife beating Mr Mel Gibson.
A small quote from the attached article:-
"The events aren't accurate, the dates aren't accurate, the characters aren't accurate, the names aren't accurate, the clothes aren't accurate—in short, just about nothing is accurate "

"Should we be grabbing whatever we have left while we still got the chance....YES"
I wholeheartedly agree with your there, however even if we do become independent that does not mean we will be allowed or able to drill in the disputed areas any more than if we are still part of the union, its not just Scotland that's laid claim to the place.
Don't get me wrong, provisionally I feel a YES vote could be a good thing provided its financially and socioeconomically viable which is the crux of the problem I imagine for most.
