Wake up folks, the UK as it is known today is Broke! and that is precisely why Westminster can’t and won’t let Scotland go.
If I were to pick a word that describes the situation in Scotland today it would be ‘deprivation’ That may sound an odd word for what should be one of the richest countries in the world……but it is a fact!
deprivation
/ˌdɛprɪˈveɪʃn/
noun
- the damaging lack of material benefits considered to be basic necessities …..
We are asset rich yet so many are deprived of, Housing, food, clothing, and heat and these are just the basics. Psychologicaly this damages us as human beings, leaving a huge % of the population feeling downtrodden, unworthy and utterly defeated, popping pills as if there was no tomorrow.
Is this really what we want?
There is another way, a way out, a Legal route. We know it but we have to break through the wall of apathy and dejection. People can’t see the wood for the trees!
There is light at the end of this tunnel but our Politicians don’t want us to see it. All the promises to end poverty are just words, throwing money we don’t have at the problem is not the answer!
A complete overhaul of our political system is required, one where all the People benefit to the same degree. We have the opportunity to do this but we have to build the WILL!
We must take the very best of the past and make it our future!
It was all there in the 1600s, written down, we just need to make it fit our modern political system without deflecting from the ethos underpinning it.
It’s a huge ask, it’s a huge task, the keyboard warriors are hard at work but we need the personal touch as well. There is a phrase many Counsellors use, it is, “meeting people at their point of need”! That means sitting with people listening to them and offering an alternative.
That ‘alternative’ won’t come immediately but it will break through the wall of dejection and give people purpose. A fight to fight…. and we love a fight!
The way 🔜

JOAN’S JOURNEY CONTINUES 
“meeting people at their point of need” is an interesting phase because what does it mean. As Joan pointed out it’s meeting people and sitting down with them. But is that all the “need” they need? Talking with people often gets a response you want to hear for a variety of reasons, this usually brings a result opposite to what the interviewer has interpreted. So “needs” must vary to include multiple input methods to accommodate these “needs” this may be leafleting, public meetings, media, own newspaper and demonstrations. Only by addressing all “needs” will we be able to move forward. We are lacking in many.
