ENGLAND WILL NOT RECOGNIZE SCOTLAND YES VOTE

A letter to England

Yesterday saw the publication of a letter, from English Scots for YES, to the peoples of England and the rest of the UK, explaining how we feel a YES vote is important for all our futures.


Dear England,

During the course of this referendum campaign, you have been told many distortions of the truth and fabrications about Scotland and why people in Scotland are voting Yes.

You have been told by the likes of Andrew Marr and Jeremy Paxman that there is a strong anti-English feeling in Scotland driving support for independence, or that people in Scotland are voting yes because they want to break away from English people. You have been told by the likes of Taxpayer’s Alliance and UKIP that Scotland is a ‘subsidy-junkie’ leaching off the English taxpayer to pay for universal public services. You have been told by the likes of the Daily Telegraph and Kelvin McKenzie that Scotland is a resourceless nation, an economic desert, which has little to offer this island or the world. And finally, you have been told by your own politicians – David Cameron, Nick Clegg and Ed Miliband – that independence will hurt you in England as much as it will hurt us in Scotland.

We write to you, as English people living and working in Scotland, to tell you that this is false. The movement for a yes vote has proven again and again what its real intentions are, and if the media in the UK will not listen we feel it is our duty to set the record straight.

First, as English people involved in the independence movement, we feel we are confident in saying that sentiment against English people has been virtually non-existent in our movement. What people in Scotland want to escape is the Westminster regime, not the English people. The yes movement is about a multi-cultural Scotland, a Scotland based on diversity, and is vociferously opposed to the racist, anti-immigrant sentiment of the likes of UKIP. An independent Scotland would attempt to learn from people in England, welcome people from England, and extend our hand of friendship as equal nations.

Second, it is untrue that Scotland is a ‘subsidy-junkie’. Scotland pays more in taxation to the Treasury than it gets back in funding. We have universal public services in Scotland like free prescriptions and free tuition fees because Holyrood has been responsive enough to the wishes of the Scottish people. It would be entirely possible to have the same in England if your politicians got their priorities correct. We hope, as an independent country, Scotland can prove that world-class universal public services is affordable, and that people in England who believe the same can use our example when deciding who to vote for.

Third, Scotland and her people have great potential, just like England and her people do, and we want to be an independent nation so that we can make the most of that potential. We are currently held back, just like the North of England is held back, by a UK economy and political system which supports international finance against all other industry sectors. In the UK we have the greatest regional inequality in Europe. That is a problem for Scotland and for the rest of the UK. We want independence to start addressing that problem..

Lastly, the politicians of the UK’s main parties are simply wrong. Independence will be good for Scotland, and it will be good for England. Yes voters in Scotland have no bitterness or resentment towards people in England; in fact we believe the relationship north and south of the border will grow stronger, as we both treat one another as serious partners and friends economically, socially and politically.

Yours faithfully,

English Scots for Yes

HISTORY SAYS ENGLAND WILL NOT RESPECT A SCOTTISH YES VOTE FOR INDEPENDENCE. THEY DID NOT RECOGNIZE A SIMILAR 1918 VOTE IN IRELAND AND STARTED A CENTURY OF TROUBLES AND WAR IN IRELAND BY DIVIDING THE IRISH PEOPLE ON A MENTORED SECTARIAN STRATEGY, WHICH WAS ALWAYS AND STILL IS THEIR WORLDWIDE STRATEGY MAINTAINING A COLONIAL EMPIRE.

IRISH BLOG RESPECTS SCOTLAND'S CHOICE WHETHER YES OR NO.

BALKINIZATION OF BRITAIN WITH SCOTTISH INDEPENDENCE

The Swedish Foreign Minister Carl Bilt, says Scottish independence will lead to the "Balkanisation" of the UK. Balkanization, is a geopolitical term used to describe the process of fragmentation or division of a state into smaller regions or states that are often hostile or non-cooperative with one another with the former Yugoslavia being a prime example. Scotland and England entered a political union in 1707, with both parliaments ceasing to exist to be replaced by a new 'united' parliament located in London. Despite the Treaty being a legally binding international treaty, the English parliament and those who regard themselves as particularly crafty Englishmen has ridden rough-shod over Scotland in the Union.


Both nations will be in exactly the same position in the EU, after Scottish Independence and the UK will ceases to exist as a legal entity! London has no veto, and thus the BritScumState in Ireland will also cease to exist, without any further pretensions of being any sort of a defunct British legal entity. Besides all of this, 90% of the UK's oil fields in Scottish waters will be under the jurisdiction of Scots Law. Thus with International maritime law, Britain will become bankrupt. The pound is also Scotland's currency and they will continue using it, which will leave Belfast and the English without a legal currency and their savers bankrupt.

.
The Corporate British media, particularly the BBC, all London-based, are of course supporting the Union and dedicating their resources, to rubbishing everything Scottish, to undermine the nation's confidence as they do in Ireland with the BBC and Irish Times. It is for the people of Scotland alone, inclusive of of all religions and origins, to decide. This is  the democratic right of self-determination of all peoples. Obviously intelligent Scottish voters know, that the best people to govern Scotland and grow its economy are those who live there, and not a distant foreign-dominated parliament in London. They will of course remain close friends with all their neighbours, including what is called the Republic of Ireland, as regards what happens to what is commonly known as the BritScumState and the Orangemen in Ireland remains to be seen.
