@alittl It was truly painful to hear next dose of BBC demoralisation for YES Movement delivered from Auchenmalg- ancient wee farms all round you-by a native of Glenluce. You were my honest hero- who had spoken up against 2014 BBC unionist onslaught-till today...

In 1974, just a bit older than you, I helped run SNP shop in Castle St Stranraer- &canvassed at night. In October, at Castle Kennedy, an old man told me he had to "vote Tory" because he worked "for the laird". That's how London ruled Scotland-still wants to. You just told them...

- those London Parties with their media- that they can expect to continue unchallenged. But dear old Stranraer- and the Rhins I believe-gave that feudal system and the BBC Swingometer a big shock in October 1974 when SNP won Galloway...

2 years later London masters came back to Galloway- wanting to turn Mullwharchar into a High Level Nuclear Waste Dump. Lots of granite all over UK- but Galloway was chosen because the communities were "remote, sparse and unsophisticated" - unlikely to protest successfully...

No Holyrood Government to protect our hills in 1974- the remote unsophisticated people of New Galloway, Glenluce, Stranraer, Ayr- all fought back- but the "Inquiry" recommended dump should proceed. Mullwharchar was saved only by the 5.8 earthquake that malign London "Government"

...claimed could "never happen"- (like Chernobyl). At the same time- up near remote and expendable Caithness ( Dounreay) Orkney was discovering that "in National Interest" the West Mainland was in line to become a uranium mine. That is why...

Scotland needs independence: to end that feudal mis-rule from London; to assert our sovereign right to defend and protect our land, lochs and seas; to sustain our own culture, political priorities and international outlook and - most of all- to have our own voice...

so that- when such grotesque gas-lighting broadcasts come our way- such 'paternal' anticipation of Scotland's renewed acquiescence towards colonial status - under that foul mess at Westminster- we can treat them as they should be treated- alien, irrelevant and wrong...

Independence is coming- despite politicians who have lost their way - despite relentless outpourings of unionist propaganda. Nothing less is now safe for Scotland. We're 100 years behind Ireland- facing the same rotten tactics from a rotten London core. We can

use that history for what comes next.
Just very, very sad that a lad from Glenluce should let Galloway down so badly- right now. #ScottishIndependence
