If you will indulge me, I will attempt to address some of the frequently asked questions I am confronted with over the question of the referendum and Scottish Independence. This referendum is asking you if you want Scotland to be independent. It is not asking you if you support the SNP, it is not asking you to vote for Alex Salmond, it is asking you if you wish to claim sovereignty for the Scottish people and use the power that will come from a yes vote to be in control of your own country, make your own decisions, and determine your own future. It is asking you if you wish to continue living under the incompetence and corruption of Westminster, to continue to be ruled by people who care nothing about Scotland and care only about lining their own pockets. It is asking if you wish to continue to be ruled and have all the decisions affecting you made by a bunch of pathological liars and confidence tricksters.
Should you vote yes, there will then be elections for the new independent parliament where you will be able to vote for whoever you wish, however, and this is very important, these elections will be carried out under a system of proportional representation that will reflect the democratic choice of the Scottish people, and will not reflect the corrupt and party-rigged first-past-the-post Westminster farce where securing 22 votes out of every hundred is then presented as giving you a mandate from the British people to declare war on, and invade, bomb and torture nations and their peoples who have done you no harm and who have done nothing to deserve it. Saddam Hussein may have been a bad man, but the half a million Iraqis who have died because of our actions did nothing to deserve being bombed and shot to death, and the remainder did not deserve to have their society utterly destroyed and left resembling the aftermath of a Mongol invasion. That was from a government that was rejected by 78 out of every hundred possible voters and if that is democratic then I no longer understand that concept.
I was at a seminar where a large group of business persons, all Better Together supporters gathered to hear a presentation from a leading member of the Yes campaign. The Yes speaker openly told them that they would have to pay more tax in an Independent Scotland if they earned more than £150,000 per annum to which one of the business persons piped up with, 'well if that's the case we'll all just up sticks and move elsewhere.' The speaker simply responded by saying 'no you won't.' Rather taken aback the business person then said 'we wont, why not?' To which the speaker asked the group, 'where would you go?' He continued, 'where will you find a job like the one you have here paying you that kind of money? Where will you find a house like the one you have at the price you paid for it here? Even if you can find a job, will you go somewhere that means the type of house you can afford will require you to commute at least one hour probably two each way each day? Will you take your family, your wife and children away from their school, their friends, their relatives and the wide social circle they enjoy here? I think not' He then asked for anyone in the group to seriously tell him that they would indeed do such a thing, no-one replied. Very instructive. This is the result of the Better Together campaign of lies and disinformation and I trust that you are all aware that the title of the Better Together campaign is Project Fear. You have been warned
