Scottish independence: Tom Daley vs Alan Cumming Are you Team Daley or Team Cumming in the debate over Scotland becoming its own independent country? 16 SEPTEMBER 2014 | BY JOE MORGAN The battlelines are drawn, and its time to decide on Scottish independence. And the question is, are you on Team Daley or Team Cumming? Gay Olympic diver Tom Daley, from Plymouth, England, has revealed he wants the UK to stay as it is, believing the country is better together as a whole. But gay actor Alan Cumming, from Alberfeldy, Scotland says otherwise, describing it a chance for the country to have their destiny in their own hands. Earlier this week, Daley tweeted: Love Great Britain. Love #TeamGB. Love Scotland. I think we are #bettertogether Cumming has been repeatedly supportive of the idea of Scottish independence, having spoken at the Yes campaign two years ago. It’s an historic moment for us all, we now have a chance in this country to have our own destiny in our own hands, he said, as reported by The Scotsman. I’m here to help in the last push and to encourage people who might be lifelong Labour voters like myself, who are being told by their party to vote No, that actually don’t listen to what Westminster is saying to you, follow your heart. Other celebrities who want Scotland to stay in the UK include John Barrowman, Eddie Izzard and JK Rowling. Notable names that want Scotland to become independent include Gerard Butler, Sean Connery and Irvine Welsh. Scotland will decide in a referendum on 18 September.
