A very interesting discussion paper is circulating on SM just now, which in many ways is good.

Because we do need to discuss a future Independent Scotland. And being a discussion it asks for opinions!… would I not😂

I am sure a counter-document will follow, which is also good because we need as many as possible to enter this conversation.

Like all documents of this ilk, there will be many opinions both for and against some topics.

Me, being me, couldn’t get past the first one… NATO!

The suggestion being that we should join as an independent country.

NATO over the past few years, has changed, rather than being a deterrent to conflict it has become a provocateur with eyes on regime change in North Africa and the Middle East. Iran is a prime example.

Do not for one minute think what is happening to Iran as the beginning. Iran is the endgame.

Do we really want to be part of that kind of culture?

…and we should not forget who holds the baton in this orchestra…Israel!

Israel’s endgame has nothing to do with ‘prophecy’ or God, but everything to do with world domination.

This document also appears to suggest we remain part of the British Commonwealth!

I thought the whole point of Independence was to break from the myth that Charles is King of Scotland?

So, another No from me!

As I said at the beginning, this paper is interesting and worthy of reading, because if nothing else it turns out thoughts to what kind of relationships we want with our neighbours and the world at large. We cannot become isolated, but neither can we be held by others. Getting the balance right will be important. One can compromise without loosing ones integrity.

Talking about the future also puts us in a positive frame of mind, which in itself must be good.

So let’s talk!
