JK Rowling donating £1million to Better Together

The Yes campaign still has significantly more money after receiving a donation of £3.5million from those two guys who won the lottery. They also have the support of some of the richest people in Scotland, like Jim McColl.

I think it's quite interesting that so many people who consider themselves to be on the left are very quick to characterise the entire 'no' camp as reactionary and supporting the economic elite, yet their own 'yes' support base seems to be equally populated by rich business leaders and, as we've seen today, right-wing misogynists.
