Creeping ivy is a vigorous plant that if left to its own devices will choke everything it latches on to…..now why am I reminded of Freeports & SEZs🤔

As winter looms ever nearer many will be faced with difficult choices, these choices are very real but it was also a choice of the government to make it so……but why?
Looking at the cash they are doling out here there and everywhere, their original black hole would seem to have disappeared!
Governments have this habit of making us look in one direction while they do something elsewhere.
As we focus inward are they hoping we won’t notice what is happening on our doorstep? The media tell us things are going to get much worse….they might be right, but they hide the real reason. This is much more than cutting benefits it’s about cutting out government intervention altogether and replacing it with Privatisation.
Less government more private companies, from the NHS right down to Local Government and all stops in-between!
We will suffer but we don’t need to suffer as much, because once free of our colonial masters we can start to reverse the tide of privatisation.
What’s wrong with privatisation you may ask, we need private businesses!
Yes, we do…..but the kind of private sector Freeports etc will bring is not your ordinary local business type…..these are the big boys who will use your money, [74m & £100m out of Barnet Consequentials with 1.1 million people living in poverty in Scotland!!!] and pay little or no tax and then run off with all the profits!
Billions of taxpayers money is being used overall to entice big business over here and nearly every MP/MSP has shares in those companies.
It is decision time, to move forward or let the ivy choke what is left!
Scotland is not a spectator sport, we are a country whose identity has been taken from us and we need now more than ever to take it back. To do that we need to do a little more than just wave a flag. We need to take that flag to the UN and make our voices heard, show them who we are!
……and this is the place to do it!
JOAN’S JOURNEY CONTINUES 
Whenever I see creeping ivy on a tree trunk I do my best to remove it. Used to do the same with my children when they were wee. We’d all try to save the tree.
As an active member of Salvo/Liberation I think I am still doing my best to remove that damn creeping ivy and prevent it from draining the life from its host.
