    Big business warned of 'day of reckoning' if Scots vote Yes - Telegraph

    If it was about taxes then I would move the company to Ireland.

    I see myself as British and refuse to have any part in this national socialist adventure. I honestly see the SNP as having traits similar to the Nazis.

    Ah, that would explain it. Shame as Edinburgh, Stirling etc. were really nice places, nice people, lots to do etc.
