Scotland votes NO tonIndependence

Extremely pleased with result. Unfortunately getting there has caused big splits between families and friends and a lot of the Yes campaigners have shown themselves in a bad light. Hope things settle down now and there is no 'fallout'.

Pleased for the NO campaigners.
I would hate to think of the true cost of this campaign not just in monetary value but as Marggie says there will be some rifts that will take a long time to heal.

Andy Murray is suffering lots of abuse today after siding with the yes campaign yesterday.

Lets hope everyone moves forward together.

I think it's an insult to our intelligence that any 'celebrity' of whatever denomination (Murray, Geldorf etc) has the arrogance to think that we will be influenced by their political opinions. He should have stayed quiet.

As Andy Murray is a Scot and has business interests in his home country I think he has a perfect right to say what he thinks.  Furthermore, it would not surprise me if his remarks were in answer to questions posed by the media of his views on Scottish Independence.  It's the likes of Sir Sean Connery who get me riled with his views on Scottish independence, as he leads a life of luxury in some tax haven, rarely setting foot on British shores, so that he can avoid putting his hand in his well-stuffed pocket!!

Well get riled at Andy Murray too then - he was not eligible to vote, he chose not to live in Scotland too. Just the same as Connery.

It's the annoying, pumped up self importance of celebrities who think everyone hangs on to their every word. Yes, he along with everyone else is entitled to an opinion. It was his 'clever' timing using his celebrity platform that caused Murray to shoot himself in the foot because he riled so many people yet AGAIN.

Murray probably caused a big chunk of undecided voters to jump to No after he shared his dull views. Thanks Andy! :D
