Mobilise Scotland to boot out the Tories

Sir, – Scottish Tory leader Douglas Ross has said he will not participate in the upcoming legitimate and democratically-decided referendum on Scottish independence. Ross is an antiscottish quisling.

The Tories have not won an election in Scotland since 1955. Tories have no legitimacy

in Scotland. The fact that the Tories think they can get away with acting like Putin shows they regard Scotland as a colony. It is a testament to the sociopathic nature of the British Unionist ideology.

Under the Tory unionists they seek to wreck the environment to make money, expand poverty and inequality by wage suppression, start a war which could have disastrous consequences, and allow hundreds of thousands to die needlessly through the spread of preventable disease such as Covid-19

The Brexit-supporting people of the Tory Party have decided that the youth of Europe should be sent to die in a new war in Ukraine.

Boris Johnson needed a distraction. The PM, having delusions, views himself as

Churchill. He has sought to escalate and prolong the Ukraine war all for his personal gain and vanity.

The Tories are laying waste to workers’ wages and conditions. This is so as to prop up the fortunes of their billionaire donor class. This was why the Bank of England decided to raise interest rates. It is a pre-emptive hit against those taking industrial action for higher wages.

The independence movement needs to expose the British Unionist ideology as an illegitimate instrument of class rule. The denial of democracy in Scotland has long been facilitated by the media, the financial sector, the super-rich and other hangers-on who are aboard the Westminster gravy train.

It’s clear that the Tories will use every trick in the book to derail independence from happening. This will mean that mass-mobilisation will need to take place in order to remove the Tories permanently from Scotland.
