    And their opinion matters why? Are they Scottish?

    Branson is from London and is retiring to the British Virgin Islands!

    Its taken them a long time to make up their minds.

    The issues are fairly basic for intelligent people like Branson and the Guardian proprietors/editors I would have thought, so why leave it until now?

    Since they don't have a vote, courtesy of the Labour Party, what has it to do with them except as a late minute publicity splash?

    Not too sure many Scots will care that much about either to be honest.

    Funny you never hear that when someone comes out in favour of Yes! Where was the critisism from the Yessers of Russell Brand for example? And what about Alan Cumming on the Yes campaign trail earlier this week when he lives in the US and doesn't have a vote?

    How about Sean Connery - who lives in the Carribean. He has got plenty of stick about that.

    Anybody got the circulation figures for The Guardian in Scotland?

    I dont see this as momentum at all but rather something that was always likely to happen.
