Nationality issue

Being the holder of a United Kingdom passport, living, presently, very happily in North Berwick, even though I am not of Scottish descent, I am deeply concerned that, according to Page 273 of the white paper, if there is a Yes vote everyone who is resident in Scotland on 19 September automatically becomes Scottish.

Would I be able to appeal against this? Would it be my human right to do so?

I posed this question at a recent public hustings meeting where John Mason MSP had to look up Page 273 as I don’t think he had been taken down this line previously.

He then produced a load of waffle which, to me and my fellow audience members, was totally unacceptable.

Yet another example of the SNP not having answers to a forthright question.
