Thread Name: BS: Scotless
Subject: RE: BS: Scotless
On the ground here in Scotland, there is a definite move towards independence.
I travel around a lot and meet many people in my working life,a year ago few contemplated victory of the Yes campaign, NAANTA seemed to hold the balance of fear and the lies about the operation of the Barnet Formula were widely believed. Now there is a feeling of belief in ourselves, a "yes we can" feelgood atmosphere, a feeling that it's about more than an extra few pounds in our benefits, or a penny or two off our tax rate. It's about raising our beloved country up out of the mire, giving our young folks hope for the future and some chance of fulfilment in their lives, no longer second class citizens in our own land or cannon fodder in mad foreign wars.

We don't want anything belonging to other nations, just the chance to be ourselves at last and hopefully to be a template for the future for other countries, on the wrong side of Capitalism.


Freedom come all ye
