Letters / Time for independence

Sorry all you Scotlaphobes who idiotically think the Grangemouth incident was a vote against Scottish independence. It could not be more the opposite!

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.

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.
