Independence for Scotland can in the future, with the right government, at least hopefully be able to prioritise ordinary people over other supposed priorities that both the current and the past UK governments have spent way too much time , energy and money upon.

Indeed these other priorities do little to help people in the here and now, as instead they actually do the opposite.

Nuclear weapons are not a deterrent but they are a threat….to all humanity (and also to all other beings who share this planet).

Unfortunately we have UK governments, as well as some other rogue governments within the world , all trying to convince their citizens that war is peace , freedom is slavery and ignorance is strength.

Reality is , that for most normal people all they want is just to live their lives in peace, to be happy and healthy, to have a degree of freedom to do what they want and go where they want, then to also try to achieve a decent standard of education that then enables them to at least always make an informed and educated decision , especially on who they decide to vote for in all elections within the UK State.

Alas that, I suspect, is not compatible as a sustained position, for any of the past UK governments , the current UK government , and I am also very sure that it will not be the preferred position for any future UK government , that is, none of them want a see a far better educated, and so then a far better informed British people.

So far in the UK we have seen UK governments actively try to suppress voting in elections in placing obstacles that “disproportionately impact various voter groups, including those in areas with lower educational access”

They, UK governments, have also sought to marginalise people, such as Asylum seekers, that involves them creating a “hostile environment” both in the past , as a former UK government, but also with future intentions from this current UK government to seek to implement a “systemic exclusion from rights, resources, and opportunities (e.g., housing, employment, healthcare)” for immigrants who come to the UK State.

Then of course we have seen with the former Tory UK government and now with the current Labour UK government a clamp down on the right to protest and to hold marches. Where the government decides what we, their citizens, can and cannot protest against.

Of course Scotland’s citizens need not experience all of that as a long term endurance in their future, if that is , we could only have even more citizens within Scotland finally ‘waking up and smelling the Coffee’……….also known as a long overdue Scottish epiphany.

I know that am, if nothing else, a broken record upon this maytter , but really what the ****
