JK Rowling calls for 'reason not ranting' in Scottish independence debate
JK Rowling tried to calm the heated passions of the Scottish independence referendum campaign on Saturday, urging both sides to debate with “reason not ranting”.
The Harry Potter author said that while she believed the United Kingdom should stay together, those who took the opposing view were simply “passionate” about an important issue and “not all haters”.
Rowling’s intervention came shortly before a poll put the Yes campaign in the lead for the first time ahead of the September 18 vote to decide whether Scotland should separate from the rest of the UK.
A YouGov survey for the Sunday Times found that the pro-independence campaign, led by the Scottish first minister Alex Salmond, had a two point lead of 51 per cent over the unionists’ 49 per cent.
