By way of drawing a line under this, I thought it was worth sharing just how badly Yes Scotland screwed up, by their own set of missed targets:

Quote:
YES Scotland had an official target of winning 65 per cent of the vote in the referendum and was committed to raising a £24 million war chest, according to internal documents.
The group's "strategic business plan" also targeted winning the backing of five national newspapers for independence.
Barely one-fifth (£4.8m) of the £24m figure was raised for campaigning, with the bulk of the sum coming from SNP-supporting EuroMillions winners Colin and Chris Weir.
Yes also secured only 45 per cent of the vote on September 18 and only the Sunday Herald declared itself in favour of independence.

Here are the Weirs, who contributed £3 million out of the £4.8 million raised.
If it hadn't been for that one single lottery win, Yes Scotland would have had almost no clout at all. We will only ever be able to guess how stunted their
tell lies to the neds grassroots campaign would have been, with just £1.4 mill in the bank.
