An ill wind will blow if Scotland votes ‘Yes’ – Edinburgh Evening News

The independence vote will be won or lost on two issues – immigration and wind turbines. Alex Salmond wants more immigration but in a poll 69 per cent of Scots said immigrant numbers should be cut and a meagre two per cent said immigration should be increased.

I wonder how the 200,000 unemployed Scots feel about Alex Salmond’s immigration plans?

I wonder how those Scots on long social housing waiting lists will feel?

Then there is the growing hatred of wind turbines which do nothing but increase our energy bills despite what the spin doctors, developers and landowners would have us believe.

There will be even more opposition to independence when Scottish voters realise that their energy bills will escalate if they vote “Yes”

The reason?

At present wind turbine subsidies are paid for by all the households in the UK but if the vote is “Yes” then the English and Welsh will refuse to pay for Alex Salmond’s wind obsession.
