"UK is blocking..."
This part of a statement could be taken from a huge range of unfinished ones... almost anyone in Scotland could complete it - without the faintest hint of a positive conclusion! This particular piece comes from: "THE UK Government will not allow Holyrood ministers to pay £65 settled status fees for European citizens who are working in Scotland's public services, Nicola Sturgeon has said."
My political beliefs have emerged and evolved, year after year - and I'm in my sixties now. The current political situation is almost worse than the darkest of memories: "bought and sold for English gold"... a wee nod to our history... however, the 'far-right' are a real entity (enemy?), and to say otherwise would be extremely nieve and risky!
Now, rather than thinking of such thoughts as hyperbole, we must realise that we're needing to act honourably and thoughtfully, for ourselves and our combined futures! One's grandchildren will hold us to account! To quote Napoleon: “Never interfere with your enemy when he is making a mistake.” ~ When London acts and behaves like the capital city of your enemies - I wonder, what should these enemies expect in return?
Ultimately, Scotland's future will be under her own control. Mutually, our UK neighbours will be busy in reestablishing their newly independent status: a new and fresh rebuilding of our individual relationships. It is certain to be an internationally interesting phase, for better, or worse? A period that will be both essential and very telling for then and the future! Time will tell, we can always commence hopefully, and Here's hoping! When thinking 'new', in Scottish Gaelic ~
New: "ùr-nodha" is
1 'split/brand new 2 modern' - (while I normally speak in our adopted the English language, my 'mother tongue' feels better? ;)
Thanks for your time,
