For me the nub of this post is the international aspect. Better Together as part of what exactly? A clone of the Austria-Hungary variety perhaps? For with a “devolved” legislature Scotland could not return to the old relationship with England whereby the styles and titles of the Better Together state perpetuated the delusion that the more populous entity had conquered the whole and that its name may be applied without let or hinderance to the entirety for convenience sake; the UK as Anglia, Eikoku, Eigyo, Inglaterra, England. Our bushel has been buried for some three hundred years in England’s back yard. We have been dragged into her wars and fought her battles at too great cost to our integrity. We have been so culturally manipulated and deracinated that for many of our people the authentic and the false have become indistinguishable. We should not be conned by kith and kin sentimentality uttered by the status quo propagandists. The restoration of a sovereign Scottish State, a republic preferrably, is the only sure measure to secure our ethno-cultural voice or indeed or very identity, what survives of it, on this planet. The time for resurrection and renewal has come. Better Together….juist mair blether…
