Dear Scotland
You might not want to listen to me. I used to be a Tory. Like, I used to work for them. I like to think that it was at a time when they were moderate but we can argue about that some other time.
Last time around, I was vehemently pro-No.
But they lied.

They lied when they told you that Scotland's place was as an equal partner in a UK at the heart of Europe. I can see that now. And looking back, I am sorry to say that I did not see it before. But it has been a lie for a long, long time.
Scotland is a trophy, not a partner.

Scotland has been the English magic money tree for a long old time. They took the oil revenue and 'spaffed it up the wall'. The idiots didn't even invest it for the future. They literally wasted it.

And they wasted it in England mainly. You didn't get it.
Then they took you out of Europe. Without your consent. In fact, in direct opposition to what you said.
You're no more an equal partner in the UK than I am a 9 stone Olympian.

I had the privilege of studying in Scotland. I spent five years in Scotland, have many Scottish friends and I care about it and them.
Scotland is an outward-looking, modern European country.
They'll tell you that you're too small to survive alone. Well, you're not.

I am Croatian and Croatia can survive and thrive as a small independent country - so can you. You just need to do it.
And like Croatia, you are not alone. You are European.
And you WILL thrive. As a small, proud, independent, European nation.
And if not now, then when?

I ask you to listen to a former unionist, former No campaigning, former Tory.
Do not listen to their lies or let them persuade you that you can't do it.
I was wrong. Don't make the same mistake as me.
Tomorrow, #BothVotesSNP.
GET THE JOB DONE.
Europe is waiting for you.
