ZoltanBuchan Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 There was a rumour going round today at Yes Petehead HQ that the vast majority of No supporters seen at rallies with Miliband etc are students who have been bussed in from England, and are being paid £25 a day plus expenses, including accommodation. Can anyone confirm this, or is it merely a rumour? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
euan2020 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 I heard B&B + subsistence - subsistence could be the £25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anyone confirm this, or is it merely a rumour? I can't confirm it, but it would come out of the No camps spending total... There's a £2.5m(?) spending limit for each campaign.

Armchair Bob Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 I don't know about *all* of them but a fair number will be. There was a Labour activist student from Liverpool a couple of months ago who tweeted about it as he was on the train to Scotland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rossy Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 I think it's been well known for a while that BT were hiring in paid activists from England....probably the same ones they use to fill newspapers forums with their crap.

Right enough, I wonder if it's a Yes vote will the comments section in the Scotsman suddenly dry up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbcmfc Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 (edited) The majority of English folk in Scotland I know are Yes or not saying. Few Irish folk I know, all Yes too. Edited September 17, 2014 by sbcmfc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not got a problem with that TBH, they're campaigning for us to remain part of the UK so fair enough. At least they've got the bottle for the battle, not like the likes Dan Snow driving his battlebus all the way north to errr Liverpool....
