But throughout Scotland we will be protesting in large numbers: in our homes, in open spaces, on social media, against this attack on our futures and those of our children. Covid Level 4 restrictions mean that we are not able to protest in the streets as we would have liked. On 1 January, each and every Scot, including our children, will lose the right to live, travel and work freely in 31 other European countries. This week marks the end of our membership of the European Single Market and Customs Union. Join our next event Wed 6 at 8.00 pm GMT via ZOOM Please sign the petition “ My Dad’s dream was to return to an independent Scotland whose main export was not talented people, he died waiting.“ Please sign up for my lifelong friend Eric’s blog naebother: They plan to do this via campaigning to eject Conservatives and other parties in Scotland, or even standing SNP candidates in local English elections. Amongst our number we have several people in England who wish to promote an independent Scotland. We are presently working to Re-Boot Britain. It would be much more united in its purpose and that would produce the necessary cohesion to build an independent nation. Scotland has one huge advantage going forward. Although I’m sad to see them go, I now fully support Scottish independence and their return to the European Union. Scotland did not vote for self harm by a large margin. My view changed in 2016 after the Brexit referendum.
I was also of the view that fragmentation of countries was a bad idea as it made our differences more important than our similarities. The problem is in essence Westminster and our English exceptionalism. Just 15 or 50 miles from Westminster was quite enough to be ignored. I used to point out that one did not need to be that far away to be ignored. In 2014 I understood the problem of being 500 miles away from Westminster and being ignored, from conversations with Scottish friends. I am not Scottish but I support Scotland the Brave.
