I am English and I voted No in 2014 because I believed in the Union and because I did not want to be ripped out of the EU. I did not believe the Better Together rhetoric about pensions and economy because that was obviously scare tactics.

My views on independence haven't changed, I can only say that the case for independence is strengthened by the way that Scotland's promise of voting 'no' to retain EU membership has been conveniently forgotten.

In 2014 I was a Labour councillor working with colleagues from other unionist parties on our plans for the Better Together campaign. In our little bubble we were confident and assured in our view that the UK was OK and the only way to ensure the future prosperity for people living in our area.
