Isn’t it time for another Yes?

Sir, – With the news that RBS is closing a further 259 branches, with a loss of around 680 jobs, comes the unavoidable conclusion that, during the run-up to the independence referendum we, the people of Scotland, were subject to scare stories of the most despicable kind.

Surely now there must be more than 5% of No voters who made their judgment on flawed, if not completely dishonest, information now willing to stand up and say enough is enough?

As the UK slips further into an economic quagmire over Brexit, led by clearly incompetent characters, is it not time for a new movement to stand alongside the many Yes groups?

Might I suggest “Was No, Now Yes”?

The broad church that is the Yes movement would be glad to have you on board.

I would imagine many Labour supporters who have seen the seeping hatred of the SNP shown by their new leader in Scotland, coupled with his inability to show even a basic grasp of Scottish affairs, with his comical bleating about bringing Scottish Water into public ownership, are now ready to push for an independent Scotland.

The UK Government is failing, Labour are all over the place and pretty much leaderless, offering no alternative to Tory mis-management.

Surely an independent Scotland couldn’t find itself in any worse position than the one the UK finds itself in at the moment. Graeme Finnie. Balgillo, Albert Street, Blairgowrie.
