Unionists love to argue that Scotland is dependent on England for its survival via the Barnett formula.
But occasionally their mask slips and they make the slam dunk case for Scotland’s independence, as Murdo Fraser did a year ago in an interview with GB News.
“If Scotland leaves the UK, we lose roughly a third of the land mass of Great Britain, half of our territorial waters, we lose the magnificent resource that is Scottish fishing waters, we lose the opportunities from North Sea oil and gas, we lose the potential for renewable energy from Scotland’s coasts in the North Sea and the Atlantic, we lose access to free trade for Scottish whiskey and Scottish salmon, all these fantastic exports, the opportunity to study at the some of the world’s greatest universities in Scotland and the joy of having Scots as part of the British nation – why would you want to throw that away?”[1]
Murdo says ‘we lose,’ over and over again. That’s because he’s speaking on behalf of the British State, not Scotland. He knows the only loser will be England.
If Murdo were really in Scotland’s corner, he’d be arguing that a Scotland liberated from the UK colonial prison would control its territorial assets to benefit the People of Scotland, not corporate elites; it would restore free trade with the EU; it would rid itself of nuclear weapons on its soil; it would re-join the family of sovereign nations. If we deprive England of the ‘joy of having Scots’ as part of the UK, then it must find a way to create its own joy.

MY COMMENTS
I feel letters like Leah’s are very effective in attracting people to support Independence. They are short and direct and leave it open to the reader to decide whether it is fair and worthy of consideration.
I am, as always
Yours for Scotland
BEAT THE CENSORS
Sadly some websites seek to censor what their readers have access to read. This is particularly true of sites whose existence is primarily to support the views of one particular party and they seek to block articles which do not slavishly support that particular doctrine. My readers have worked out that the best way to defeat that attack on the freedom of speech and thought is to share my articles widely, thus defeating any attempt at censorship. My thanks for this.
SALVO AND LIBERATION
Are playing a crucial role in taking Independence forward. This site limits donations to Yours for Scotland to a maximum of £3. We do not need more as all we seek to do is to cover the costs incurred in running the blog therefore once this is secured each year all further donations are forwarded to Salvo and Liberation. My thanks for all who choose to support us in this way. It is appreciated.
SALVO MERCHANDISE
