For some, having to become part of a new campaign is just a bridge too far, they are battle-weary and disappointed beyond words, perhaps this was the plan from the beginning, to wear us down until there was no more fight left in us.

For years we have put our trust in our elected SNP Leaders, we gave our votes, our hearts and our trust expecting results only to find empty rhetoric and promises. We now know they have no desire to use the tools available to them, even if they were ignorant before, they are aware now that there is a way but refuse to walk it.

I wonder what our guests from Sweden made of it all last week, how will they record the event?

The occasion certainly did not reflect well on Holyrood, the people’s Parliament was closed to the people! No wonder there is an air of despondency around the country.

But there are enough of us to begin our own ‘power creep’ to return power to the people, return the land and the seas and all within back to Scotland. It’s ours to take, words may not be enough, but if people see action they will join. People long for action, they want to see a group that really will walk the talk.

We really have to cross the bridge and let the road take us where it will, our eyes must be on the prize not on the obstacles. individually we are weak but together we make a powerful army for Democracy. No movement of the people has been beaten in our modern lifetime because the world is looking on. And unless our leaders are akin to Mr. Putin they will not want to be seen as outstepping Democracy.

They may wrangle and squirm, but it will happen!

Time is not on our side, we see our services being decimated on a daily basis, just look and see what is happening in North Lanarkshire, nobody is listening to the people. Yes, money is tight……but how much is wasted?

Pet projects seem to take priority over people these days!

So let’s march over the bridge and keep building something new and adventurous.
