Thread Name: BS: Nationalism - a good or bad thing?
Subject: RE: BS: Nationalism - a good or bad thing?
Mr McGrath, Scotland has not seen the effects of mass unregulated immigration that have become apparent in large areas of England and Wales. In Scotland we have Pakistani and Indian Communities who have settled in our cities over a very long period. They arrived in manageable numbers and although not fully integrated they get on reasonably well with indigenous Scots.

If Scotland becomes independent, or should I say "WHEN" Scotland becomes independent it will have to be decided what style of government will be adopted.....it may be a socialist, liberal, or conservative govt depending on the economic conditions which prevail at that time.

I would not like to see a new Scotland build its economy on the backs of cheap immigrant labour....even if it meant a fall in living standards; I want to see full employment for our people, decent wages, and compulsory work experience for all school leavers.

After independence it should not be an option to keep a generation on minimal benefits or short term contract employment.
Nationalism should mean giving our people inspiration and a chance of a proper future.
