Still seems a conflict to me. Either you are controlled by politicans in London, who are controlled by politicians in Europe. Or you get controlled solely by politicians in Europe. Is it simply that you see the Brussells masters are wise, and the London masters as incompetent? Or do you see Europe as not such a dominating force as London is?
That's complete bullsht though. Very much like the line that the UKIP spout. London is not controlled by Brussells, sure there are many legistlative powers passed down from the EU but the majority of these I and I would think the majority of Scots have no issues with. What we do have issue with is:
The lies of Westminister and the complete and utter waste of Scotland's natural resources.
The storage of Nuclear Weapons 25 miles from our most populated city
The denationalisation of industries such as the railway/post office/energy companies
Closure of our heavy industries without proper training opportunities being given to those who were put out of work.
Closure of our mines and steel plants.
The continued lie that Scotland is subsidised by the UK.
A foreign country having control over our budget and deciding what the majority of our money is spent on.
The lack of opportunity for our future generations.
The bedroom tax, Poll tax (insert whatever the next tory government decide to tax)
Being dragged into illegal wars.
The list goes on. But these problems are not specific to Scotland, they impact other areas of the UK as it stands but we can be a beacon to show that a different way is possible.
Since the end of the 2nd world war more than 140 countries have gained their independence nobody has crawled back to their forner tyrants. Scotland is in a better position than the vast majority of these countries and will be a success, because the people of Scotland are best placed to govern their own country, their is nothing wrong with that. Infact it would be abnormal not to want that. Unfortunately there are still many in Scotland who subversive and due to been brown beaten for many a year and being talked down to they lack any sort of aspiration.
I still ask the question though, because it does interest me very much if Scotland was such a weight around the neck why are the establishment fighting tooth and nail and employing every dirty trick campaign to try and make sure the no vote wins.
They lied to us in the 70's about oil, they lied about devolution in 79 told us our industries would face closure by voting yes back then, we voted no and what did we get? All our major industries closed and we got Thatcher. They spouted their lies in 1997. We won back then, although it was a hollow victory and we will win this time round.
