I’ve been honest about independence.
Painful
However, tell me how painful, for how long and who will suffer, then maybe I might think that the long term gain ( if one can be shown ) could be worth the pain.
The nationalists don’t do that . In fact if you look back at my posts you’ll see that a sure fire way to end the debate with someone who is suggesting I’m in the “ your saying Scotland is too wee , too poor , and too stupid “ brigade. Is to question why there has never been future financial projections to back up the case.
I’ve never said too wee , too poor , too poor. I’m proud of Scotland, so would never say that.
However that’s not to say we couldn’t be.
The SNPs star economist has put it far better.
We can be like a Nordic nation, the story goes. “I might have legs it doesn’t make me a super model, is his response”
The Glaswegian version of that statement being “ if your uncle had baws he’d be your auntie” , although under the gender reform act and the hate crime act I should probably expect a knock on the door from Strathclydes finest … opps sorry that should read police Scotlands finest!😀
The story goes on “ We don’t need to take on any of the U.K. national debt” the NATs tell us.
Watch your currency turn to poo as the markets kill you for defaulting on a debt. Says the expert.
“We could be our own country , borrowing , printing money” , the seperatists continue .
We don’t live in a closed economic system the SNP expert says, so forget that , unless of course you want to be too wee , too poor and too stupid.
Surely this , along with the failed hate crime bill , gender reform bill , the deposit return scheme disaster , higher degrees of pollution in the LEZ , the destruction in the home rental market , the marine protection suggestions and the stated aim of buying in our oil and gas rather than benefit from what’s on our doorstep. All point to a government that is too stupid , that’s trying to make us poorer and is looking to make us too wee in the eyes of a global economy.
So heres a request from a Scot.
If you really want to win independence here’s how to achieve it.
1. Concentrate on delivering the day to day stuff that makes a difference to people’s lives.
2. Stop telling us we should vote for independence via the SNP and Greens rather than support the Tories , or Labour or anyone else who is a threat to you.
Most Scots are too wise for that.
3.Make the case for independence honestly , how much pain? For how long? And who will suffer? And state what the vision for the future is and make is clear how that we can all measure it against a plan as we proceed.
People in business would say
Tell me what “good”looks like and show me how we can create milestones along the way to measure our performance against good.
Who says so ? The SNPs own global celebrity economist.
Now we would all be too stupid to ignore that !
