LEAH’S LETTER OF THE WEEK.

Dear Editor,

Sir Keir has flip flopped on renationalising energy, first pledging to do so, then not, and now vowing to create a public company, GB Energy, powered with Scottish renewables. And Ian Murray, his faithful Scottish minion, claims Scotland will prosper under a Labour government. 

It’s the same old story. The UK feasts vampirically on Scotland’s energy to resuscitate its moribund economy, bleeding Scotland dry. Scots are penalised with higher bills, no new jobs or businesses are created from the renewables bonanza and Scotland gets zero revenue because it all goes south. 

To think this will change just because another BritNat party gains power in London, is a fantasy. English Labour knows that Scottish renewables have the potential to dwarf the income the UK got from our oil and gas, which is why they won’t let us go. 

It’s classic colonialism with economic exploitation the cornerstone. The union has resulted in Scotland being underdeveloped and poor. It’s why the Scottish economy lags far behind our prosperous Nordic neighbours, and over a fifth of Scots live in poverty. Our assets have been sold off to profiteering foreign conglomerates with the Scottish people receiving nothing in return. After our oil was stolen, the second great energy rip-off is underway. Meanwhile, the coloniser tells us that we can’t survive without the UK’s largesse and the ridiculous GERS, concocted by Westminster, reinforces the lie.     

The biggest threat to the British State is the Scottish people realising that sovereignty lies with them, not with the feudal British ruling class or corporate elites. Reclaiming our sovereignty means reclaiming our energy, land, ports, transport, health, education, civil rights, foreign and economic policy. It means reclaiming our future. Until we do, the plunder will continue. 

Yours sincerely,

Leah Gunn Barrett

BEAT THE CENSORS

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.
