Letters / Raw prejudices
“It also shows the morally bereft and nasty selfish philosophy that sums up the evil machinations in Westminster.
“When a political administration such as Westminster takes pride in taking money from the poor, sick and elderly to safeguard the incomes of the wealthy, corrupt and greedy, whilst maintaining a reward system for inept and failed incompetents, it is time for independence from this.
“It is totally beyond fair-minded rationale that a normal person would want to hang on to the UK status quo when it’s so destructive and greed riddled.” (Time for independence; SN, 28/10/13)
Very well written, Vic. How concisely you give a true insight into the “Yes campaign “psyche, much more to do with Anglophobic, anti Westminster prejudices than reasoned argument.
No wonder the opinion polls show the Nats popularity is flat lining at 25 per cent!
With reference to your unpleasant comment:
“If folk love so much what the Westminster driven UK stands for why not go and live down there, and leave Scotland to those who believe it can do better on its own”
That would require nearly half the population of Scotland (those who prefer the Union) to leave Scotland for London! Do you really mean that, Vic?
Why must nationalism always appear so close to raw prejudice and neo racism?
Mass removal of peoples, who do not share your views, would that be compulsory?
