Letters / Reject fear for ambition
I am getting old and when I look around I don’t like what I am leaving our bairns and grandbairns – increased intolerance, poverty, homelessness and inequality. No doubt I could have done more to try and make things better, but I didn’t.
But on 18 September with a simple ‘X’ on a piece of paper I have a once in a lifetime opportunity to try and change this by rejecting the values that support the rich and powerful over the poor and weak.
Both referendum choices have risks, but I will reject fear and threats in favour of hope and ambition by voting Yes.
