We’re no different

TO the person who asked why we do not like SNP members, I would say that those of us who oppose nationalism do so from a standpoint of disagreeing with the principle, not with individuals.

I have never understood why our nationalism is portrayed as different from like-minded philosophies throghout the world.

Nationalism brought about Brexit, saw the rise of Ukip and is raising its head again in parts of Europe.

Like many others, I am against the cult of the personality or following the person with the best slogan or one who is always looking for scapegoats.

The Labour movement has traditionally worked on the principle that unity is strength and disunity works for the few while working against the best interests of the many.
