I personally would not seek to spin or whitewash Scotland’s past, but Unionists are always keen to do this regarding Britain’s past for some reason.

History is mildly interesting, but also largely irrelevant. I don’t see any connection between history and my desire for political independence for Scotland. The Act of Union is historic I suppose, but that’s about it.

My aspiration for an independent Scotland is entirely rooted in practicality and that the status quo is unsustainable and does not work.

It’s a demonstrable practical fact that countries who become independent perform better for their people. And it’s also a demonstrable fact that every country who has become independent were told by the parent state that they didn’t have what it takes.

Unfortunately for unionists, in 2014 the leaders of Better Together and the vow makers all admitted that Scotland is entirely viable. They argued instead the cultural angle and made promises that have not been kept.

There will be a reckoning for that, and unionists who laughed and jeered and gave it “get it up ye” at every turn since 2014 will have their own medicine to take. This time though, it’ll be for keeps.

Nope we do not want to whitewash our past. That is exactly what nats want.
The status quo does work and works very well in Scotlands favour. We are part of one of the most successful unions ever.
Independence is unsustainable and would bankrupt the country and its people.
And it should have been forgotten and moved on from since 2014 but the nasty nats cannot accept democracy unless it goes their way. You have proved that with your last sentence. Ftsnp 🇬🇧

Anyone criticises Churchill and you guys wet your pants.

The tears and snotters I’ve seen with that are remarkable.
