Dear Scottish Labour (or actually Dear Labour Scottish branch),
The referendum is not, as you indicate in your tweet, Scotland versus Alex Salmond.
If it were you really wouldn't need to be funded by the English Tories, Dukes, Earls and Marquises. They could keep their rotten gold that you've been bought and sold for.
You wouldn't need to get people from West Derby to be bussed in, with the previously mentioned Tories, Lords and such like paying for their travel and all their food for a jolly day out either.
If it were Alex Salmond against Scotland, I suspect that even you lot could work out that only Alex and maybe Moira too would be voting YES, and the rest of us...ie the Scotland that you say Alex is against, would be voting No.
And... even if there were a few more people...you know Nicola, John, Kenny, Shona, Humza, Stewart and their likes who would vote for independence, do you not think that if it was, as you suggest, Alex (and a few mates) versus Scotland, you might be able to save a bit of your English Tory dosh, by rounding up this potentially massive support for NO in Scotland and getting it to collectively knock on the doors of the Cabinet and their best mates. it's probably a 2 hour job max!
I completely fail to understand why, if Scotland is on one side and Alex Salmond is on the other, you need to bus people in from the next door country?
You enthusiastically defend your beloved prime minister, saying that he shouldn't have to debate on behalf of your country, because he is English and he doesn't have a vote.
So why then do you feel obliged to pay English people to come and campaign on something which is nothing to do with them and upon which they do not have a vote? Is their opinion more important than that of the British prime minister? Is Mr Cameron the only Englishman barred from taking a part?
As a parting thought, you may wish to remember that the British government has said that all Scottish people alive and their offspring will be able to chose their citizenship, British, Scottish or joint.
This means that you and your ilk will still be able to take a title from Britain and presumably collect your £300+ a day for sleeping on a red bench. Lady Lamont, Baroness Curran... have a ring. (Not sure about Baillie though, although lying through your teeth seems to be no barrier to ennoblement.)
This may save you some of the effort, and expense, not to mention the environmental damage of transporting these people to Scotland and continuing with your campaign.

Better Together opened a shop in Kirkcaldy, and plastered No stickers all over it.
Meanwhile the people who own the upstairs part of the building decided to put YES stickers on their windows.
I suppose it could have happened to anyone...
