Dear Sir,

The debate on the Independence Referendum in Scotland has certainly taken over the front pages in the British Press.

I read the coments of Mr Everson and my friend Bob Stewart. I should mention why I am interested.

I am a graduate of St Andrews University, spent four years as a student in Dundee, and my daughter

Joy Pimental was born in Dundee. She is therefore a “Scottish lass”.

I have sent her an e-mail from the north of England to apologise for not registering her to vote!

I found Mr Everson’s comments confusing. He is for the YES vote for Scotland to go independent and

then gives all the reasons why it should stay as a member of the UK.

I have long recognised the character of the people of Scotland; not only very “careful with their money” but also careful with the decisions they make. I think they will be concerned about jumping into the unknown future and the vote, in my opinion, will be NO by as much as 4%.

If the vote goes to YES much of the fault will go directly to David Cameron and their Conservative Government who continually have ignored the Scottish people.
