We have been led to believe that next year the Nation of Scotland
will finally be given the chance to vote for or against independence in
the promised referendum.
While I think we could go it alone if
all the revenue from our oil and our other assets like whiskey were
added fully to the Scottish coffers, I still fear for our future if Alex
Salmond has the stupid notion of continuing to be a member of the
European Union as it now stands.
By
all means go back to the original "Common Market" under which we still
made our own rules, but the new Union is a step too far.
Whispers
of Salmond considering joining the failing Euro currency in the future
is another reason that I will be going against the chance of an
independent Scotland this time around.
Alex Salmond has
always had the war cry of "Home Rule For Scotland" but if he thinks that
having the strings pulled by the same puppeteer in Brussels that pulls
the strings for Britain is home rule, then he is sadly mistaken.
The
Scottish people who want "Home Rule" do not want to have our laws laid
down, or our prosperous industries like the fishing ruined any more by
foreigners who's goal seems to be to weaken our resources rather that
strengthen them.
Unless Salmond is prepared to have a fully independent Scotland, then he is wasting all our time and money with a referendum.
Take note Mr Salmond!
