    Rowling is entitled to spend her dough in anyway she sees fit . She is also allowed to express her opinion on the referendum . At least she aactually lives in Scotland .

    However , the reasons she gave for her donation and her thinking were pretty f**king stupid . It as if she has sat down with the Better together propiganda unit and they have spoonfed her bull**** that she has just soaked up like a very rich sponge .

    She doesn't seem to have bothered checking any facts or listening to any arguments opposing said propaganda .

    At the end of the day though it's her money and her choice to waste it . Her million bucks doesn't buy the right to lecture the rest of us with ill informed bull**** though .

    She should have done what I do and come in here and spout ill informed bull**** ......it's free .

    [h=1]Gordon Brown claims independence would mean less lottery cash
    [/h]


    BEING part of the UK means sharing the benefits of the millions of pounds raised each year by the National Lottery, Gordon Brown will say today.

    The former prime minister will use a talk at the Borders Book Festival to highlight the £2.5 billion in lottery funding that Scottish charities and good causes have received since 1994. Mr Brown, MP for Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath, will tell an audience in Melrose that Scotland gets £97 per head in Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) grants every year compared to the UK overall, which receives £72 per head.


    I've not received my £97 yet.

    You're not questioning her reasoning though, you're questioning her character.

    She might have donated for the wrong reasons but its her ****ing money and she could use it to wipe her arse for a year if she saw fit. You're using her donation as a reason to attack her which is just childish and completely ******ed. Not any better than the folk that targeted those lotto winners.

    The survey's detailed results found that participants in Scotland and Wales tended to spend more each month (£7.20 and £8.25 respectively) than the national average.The top five regions in yearly spend, counting all respondents and not just participants, were (in order) Scotland, Wales, East of England, North East and Midlands.

    So Scotland receives more from the Heritage fund per head, what about the other 80% of the funds? Funny how Gordon never mentioned that?
