U2's Position On Scottish Referendum

[silkspectre 3]

Is there one?  Has Bono or anyone else addressed this? Yes I know---they are Irish not Scottish.

But U2 is always addressing important world events.  They just wrote a song about the Ramones, after all. 

All I could find about Scotland was Bono clapping his hands in Glasgow to bring attention to world hunger. 

If anyone knows anything, thanks in advance.

David Bowie is on the No side.  Annie Lennox and The Proclaimers are pro-independence.

No member of U2 has a right to have thoughts on this subject as none of them are Scottish or live in Scotland...come to think about it only 2 of them are actually irish. YESSSSSSSSSSS.

Why are Brits even getting a say in this? They aren't Scots. Sure independence might effect their business or way of life or bottom line. But you know what? Scotland was an independent country at one time, not under any others' rule. I hope they remember that. They need to get with the program or ship out.

 

This can be applied to Hawaii as well.

Nobody else in Britain is getting a say only people actively living in Scotland over the age of 16.

I wonder what Stuart Adamson would have said marking an historic moment.

Bob Geldof is supporting the No side.  He is Irish, not Scottish.

From the article below, it appears that Andy Murray supports independence.

He was once asked which soccer team he was cheering for and he jokingly said "anyone but England"
