Take high road for Scotland’s economic wellbeing for the future

Sir, – If it was not for the kindness, wisdom and generosity of the unionists at Westminster for the past 55 years and beyond, Scotland would be as poor as Norway. Yeah right!

However, as a failing UK descends into chaos, what should we do?

Labour and Tory promises over all these years have been perishable in a broken Britain, with the UK clearly heading for a catastrophe as a country. Its future is well and truly behind it.

The corrupt, clueless and reckless are over-ruling us from the Westminster putrid cesspit.

There is a constant stream of corruption and farce coming out of the House of Commons like a sitcom or the dark pantomime of Liz Truss and the rest of the far right.

Devolved governments can only assert policies with a limited budget they do not control, attacked by a feral media that is incessantly hostile.

Young people in Scotland did not fight for devolution but are not sure they could put up with the humiliation of having it dissolved before their eyes.

The mistake we made in 1997 was that we got a parliament when what we needed was a democracy.

Scottish independence was once ignored by unionists, then regarded as crackers, and is now aggressively confronted – watched from the sidelines by a Labour Party who are obscuring the truth.

They did that in the past and are doing it again today.

The answer is simple. Take the high road for Scotland’s economic wellbeing for the future.

There. If I said that, some unionists would be convinced that it was a hate crime.

I await a knock at the door.
