Who are the people backing NO out of interest ? Ian Taylor of Vitol for one, the oil company who innundated Serbian warlord Arkan with $1million Also, I notice that Geoffrey Robinson MP has registered Better With Scotland with the Electoral Commission as an Unincorporated Association with Permitted Participant status in the Scottish Independence Referendum. Robinson was Paymaster General in Tony Blairs government from May 1997 to December 1998, resigning after it was revealed that in 1996 he had lent his government colleague Peter Mandelson £373,000 to buy a house. Although a committed Labour and Gordon Brown supporter, Robinson has often been considered a champagne socialist. His previous life as a businessman has made him one of the wealthiest Members of Parliament, with a personal fortune of around £30 million. He is a lover of fine wine and dining. He owns holiday homes in Tuscany (used by Tony Blair for his summer holiday once) and the South of France and owns a penthouse flat in Londons Park Lane. He owns a house designed by Edwin Lutyens - Orchards (Godalming, Surrey, 1897–99) has been described as among the finest Surrey Houses. Lutyens Marshcourt (Stockbridge, Hampshire, 1901–1904) was bought and restored by Robinson, but sold again in 1999 following the scandal which saw him resign as Paymaster General. Theres no reason to believe he isnt better with Scotland - but no evidence as to why Scotland would be better with the likes of him.
