...in support of the Labour voice in the independence campaign.

Even as the Festive Season approaches there is still a continuing interest in
next year's Referendum to decide Scotland's future. It's subject to sometimes
intense discussion in pubs and clubs, in homes and carefully, but formally in
schools, colleges and universities. While many may still have to make up their
minds, a fast growing number of Labour Party members and voters, and many more
Trades Unionists are already determined to vote YES.
Older persons are mindful of the early Labour & TU movement of Hardie, McLean, Gallacher, Wheatley and Johnston and their like: men who birthed a vision of social equality and equal rights for all and in whose simple, but ardent ambition was Home Rule for Scotland.
Given, and recalling, the suffering endured by hundreds of
all ages in those not so far off days, it would be foolish to contend that the
present Scottish Parliament would be sufficient to satisfy their hopes; hopes
which had clearly contained the dream of an Independent Scotland.
And now there is the increasing call by folks from all walks
of life: ordinary men
and women, scholars, business and young people all joining in the call for Independence for our beloved ancient land : SCOTLAND.

Hasten the day!
