You feel it on the streets, you feel it on public transport….safe Britain is no longer safe…..and we are beginning to feel it up here.

When hatred takes over, reason disappears. The fight is on and they don’t care who they are fighting. I am not even sure they know why they are fighting because the mob has taken over from the peaceful protesters and they know how to turn anger into hatred.

Emotions always run high in any march, so it doesn’t take long to light the fuse.

Can we stop it taking over in Scotland or do we just try and sit it out?

Can we afford to do that?

Those of us of a certain age can no longer face the mob but we can talk on a one-to-one basis. Did I say ‘talk’, maybe the word should be listen!

If we listen we begin to understand, talking can be construed as telling!!

Politics should be about listening not dictating. Policies should be built around people as well as the country.

Reactionary politics is never the answer, we need change, but change that has been well thought out. Those working behind the scenes are doing just that. But we need more Scottish parties coming up with the answers, not Unionist ones.

The thinking behind Liberate Scotland has been well thought out. A bridge that will unite.

Scotlands future is not just an event, it is a journey, although there are times it feels more like a pilgrimage!

But whatever it is, it must not become one filled with hate. We are better than that.

There is a solution to every problem, we just have to find it, and we do that by listening!

Don’t leave it to the politicians, they will want more quangos and more inquiries, all at our cost. We can do this on our own at conferences, political or otherwise, or even over a pint in the pub!

Just listen to one another!
