Scottish independence should not be a thing of anger or bitterness. It should not be thought of as anti English, Welsh or Irish it is pro Scottish. If Scotland ever gains independence nothing will change in the other three countries, that union can and will continue. We in Scotland will carry on and make a future that is the will of the Scottish people. That might include joining the EU, if they’ll have us, but it might not but we will still be your neighbors we will still trade with each other, holiday in each others countries etc.
There will be many English people like rox who are sick of hearing about Scottish independence and will be glad to see the back of us and that’s fine, hearing this debate over and over must be really irritating.
I have worked in England and lived there for a few years and was treated really well and was never made to feel anything other than welcome. I also have family who are English, well Geordie’s does that count lol. So my desire for independence is nothing to do with animosity towards the people of England, Wales or Ireland its about going it alone. Independence might be the worst thing that could happen but we won’t know until we have if.
So Christmas is around the corner and it is the season of good will so let’s not get dragged into a debate that that could split the forum in two. Instead, let’s chat all things brexit, as, as it stands, is the most important problem we have in front of and, if it goes wrong, could make Scottish independence a stroll in the park.
MERRY CHRISTMAS MY FRIENDS.
