Independence as we all know won’t just happen! To get there it’s like playing a game of chess where every piece counts and every move matters.

To think you can win the game by just crying ‘Independence Now’ is naive. We all know the positives for Independence but it is equally important to know what’s happening in the background to thwart the realities of what that Independence might look like.

Some are trying to shut down the conversation about Freeports & SEZs saying it’s a side show and has nothing to do with Independence.

Becoming Independent will not be the kind of Independence we want if Freeports etc are in existence in Scotland, because these great swathes of land will not be under our control for many years to come which in turn means the taxes from these lands will not come into our coffers either.

They are a law unto themselves!

And forget about returning to the EU….they won’t touch us with a barge pole!

Therefore it is imperative to get our house in order now, and inform people about these impending nightmares.

We are talking about the foundations of a new Scotland here. We don’t want to arrive at day 1 only to say ‘Oh wait a minute, we don’t own that land, we gave it away’!

The new king! of Scotland may be able to silence some people but he can’t silence all of the people. So let’s encourage and support all those who want to keep Scotland informed whether on SM or local radio!
