Utopia awaits

The dismal and dreary utterances of the Better Together brigade give out a very negative view of Scotland which is, above all, rich in resources both human and material.

With all that has been happening this year, including the fiasco of Brexit and the global pandemic, I can’t help thinking the renowned political journalist Iain Macwhirter was spot on when he wrote: “If Scotland stays in the UK it will be hitching itself to a post-imperial Brexitania run by bandit capitalists who still think they are living in the days of Empire.”

There is now no longer any doubt that a clear majority support independence.

It is self-evident, that with the express wish of its people, sovereign nations should always run their own affairs. While independence brings responsibility and commitment it also brings joy, freedom and the excitement of achieving our full potential in an explosionofcreativity. Aknowledge and appreciation of one’s own country is a passport to the rest of the world.
