Subject: What is Dow doing to promote Scottish national unity and independence

Douglas asked (initially on the Standard Bearer political leadership forum, but I've chosen to answer his post here)-

DISUNION

As a political project, Scottish Independence has a serious problem: DISUNION. It seems to be that Scots like to fight against Scots as it was their hobby. It is impossible to satisfy all the people, but when it comes to independence, unity is needed because it is the political project of a nation (a serious matter), it is not the project of a group(an adventure). I would like to know what are you doing to promote unity.

Peter Dow replies -


The primary cause of artificial splits within the Scottish nation is caused by those who promote the daft idea that having a Scottish political identity, means that automatically the "true Scot" must be anti-British (or, even more daft, anti-English.)

I've promoted unity amongst the Scots by identifying the royalist, fascist UK state as the true enemy, and explained that Scots have nothing to fear from the British or the English.

My website and forum are full of such references, so do read them.

You could start by clicking here to a forum article about flags

Then click here to a website page on threats from the UK

But there's more if you care to look.

Politics and real fighting is indeed a serious business, and it doesn't deserve your "hobby" description.

There can never be any genuine unity on the basis of suppressing political debate. Such a forced "unity" would rightly be resented as a form of slavery - and the Scots will never be slaves.
