Scotland has a proud history which is recognized throughout the world, and many of those countries are still routing for us.
They know what it’s like to be colonised, to be usurped by a larger country only to be asset stripped and bullied into submission. Unfortunately many in Scotland are suffering from ‘Stockholm syndrome’
Stockholm syndrome is a proposed condition in which hostages develop a psychological bond with their captors.[1][2] It is supposed to result from a rather specific set of circumstances, namely the power imbalances contained in hostage-taking, kidnapping.
Many in Scotland have developed that ‘psychological’ bond with England in the Political sense. Our Politicians are comfortable with the status quo. They have status, good pay and good pensions to look forward to, so they definitely don’t want to rock the boat.
Sadly this also applies to a lot of other Scots too, they have been hoodwinked into believing there is no other viable choice. Many prefer to be ‘looked after’ than be self-reliant, another side effect of Stockholm syndrome!
Which one are you?
When we choose to rely on others our options are limited to what they allow us to do and to be. Our path is chosen for us, no freedom to explore and reach our potential. Invisible chains around our necks which say, so far and no more!
That’s what Devolution is……a chain around our necks.
The tide is slowly turning, but we need to speed it up, we need a Spring Tide! Many of us know there’s another way, we must make our voices heard, the tools are there, and the Hubs are being set up.
Let’s speak up for Scotland, the World is waiting for us!
