Referendum isonitsway

Sir, - Two of your unionist contributors, Martin Redfern and Derek Farmer, among others, not content with their supposed electoral rejuvenation, continue to campaign to convince voters that full independence for Scotland would be a disaster.

Mr Redfern has resorted to claiming Nicola Sturgeon is a deluded individual with Mr Farmer inferring SNP supporters cannot comprehend his perceived disastrous scenario of independence and nationalism.

Both are wrong. The First Minister has been, since the Brexit vote, the stand-out voice of common sense acting in the best interests of Scotland and indeed the UK with Westminster ignoring the Scottish Government’s proposals.

Mr Farmer, claiming to be more thoughtful than SNP supporters, should perhaps put his mind to what the future holds for the UK.

They should both explain why it is so wonderful for Scotland to be ruled from Westminster, and the claimed great advantages of the union their cohorts repeatedly fail to expound.

Supporters of Scottish nationalism are derided for having the temerity to follow the true definition of the word which encompasses a true love of country and a wish to seek an independent state, free from the shackles of Westminster.

These protagonists, together with all other

More recently, do British immigrants to the Spanish costas or rural France learn Spanish or French and integrate fully with the locals?

Better Together proponents, will be required to address the above when the second referendum comes along, whenever that may be.
