  1. They could get a trillion pound donation at this point and it wouldn’t save them.

  2. A billionaire giving 100k is like me donating 10p. It’s not exactly a vote of confidence.

  3. https://www.heraldscotland.com/news/15470080.scottish-tory-mp-70-000-shares-firm-worlds-worst-tax-haven/ 

    Secretary of state for Scotland AlisterJack has/had substantial shares in Jardine Matheson so the donation isn’t surprising. Legal? Who knows. 

    Sir Henry Keswick and Lady Keswick’s company Jardine Matheson was linked to tax avoidance via Luxembourg and has numerous subsidiaries in tax haven Bermuda. They were named in the HSBC tax scandal files. 

    You have to ask why these people would want Scotland as part of the UK and why you agree with them?
