Elite 'Supervillains' Chime In On Scottish Independence Debate
The Huffington Post UK ^ | September 9, 2014 | Paul Vale

Global "supervillain" Henry Kissinger has spoken out on the Scottish independence debate, telling Prospect Magazine that "anything that makes Britain smaller I do not welcome". Yet the former US Secretary of State is not the only nefarious character to offer council on the issue of Scotland’s proposed breakaway from the UK.

Some of the globe’s most "black hated" antagonists have ruminated on the delicate matter of the British Union, with support falling on both sides of the fence. Here are 7 of the world's elite "supervillains" that have also chimed in on the referendum:

Rupert Murdoch:

When not denying man made climate change or taking surreptitious meetings with the leader of Ukip, ageing media mogul Rupert Murdoch tweets out his support for the 'Yes' campaign and his "friend" Alex Salmond. According to Andrew Neil, Murdoch's backing for independence is payback for the roughing up Westminster handed out to the media baron during the phone hacking scandal.

How can you have a list of elite supervillains without Soros on it? Maybe he is just quietly trying to figure out which side would allow him to pick off a country and destroy it economically.

“Council” in the article should be “counsel” — an error by the author which can indicate just how good a journo Huff Puff Post hires.

UKIP PM candidate when interviewed by Laura Ingraham on her talkie 9/5 said he does not favor independence. Even though it’s run by the socialists and would give him trouble in any of the reforms he would seek in Parliment.

I think it’s a culture thing. The “United Kingdom” is more than just a notation on a map, it’s a national identity. Even as it might be politically beneficial in the long term for the Scots to be independent, the blow to the national culture is very concerning.

I’m not really sure, perhaps the sources of wealth are drying up and the numbers on the Dole are steadily increasing? And then there is the ‘Asian’ problem.

But whatever it is I can say that the ‘media’ in England is panicking.
