Yes movement ready for future

Sir, –The ink is not even dry but that doughty keyboard warrior Keith Howell, is able to appear in your newspaper with his “considered” thoughts on the Growth Commission Report. (Letters, May 26).

The fact that he had – I suspect – not gone anywhere near reading this document is no impediment.

Thus we have the core problem with British nationalism: Scotland must be preserved like a dragonfly in amber, unchanging over millennia and as such they do not have to worry about providing a positive alternative to independence.

Another British nationalist pundit commented that the SNP were asking the same question and expecting a different answer.

Well, the question is not the same, as Scotland was told a “No” vote in 2014 would keep us in the EU, preserve HMRC jobs and keep shipbuilding on the Clyde. All now proved a fallacy.

We were told The Vow would deliver the strongest devolved parliament in the world. Except now we see the Tories will ride roughshod over that and hold Holyrood’s powers for up to seven years, regardless of the views of Edinburgh.

The Growth Commission recognises the world is a different place from 2014 and the Yes movement is clear about how these challenges will be faced.

The British nationalists, who believe Canute-like, they will hold back the tide of history are mistaken. Henry Malcolm.
