It's such a shame that these same facts have to repeated over and over again, I fear you're preaching to the choir now and the folk that need to be made aware probably don't even read indy blogs. I wish I knew the solution.

If you’re on social media, share these if you can. I’ve been trolling Labour tweets with my posts. I think Scotland will have to suffer a big shock for people to wake up and get angry as hell - then maybe things will change.

Thanks, Leah, for really getting down to the nitty gritty. NOTHING’s going to happen until the Scottish People start to get angry. All the elements of frustration are nevertheless already there - all it needs is something or somebody to light the fuse.

I don't know, Ann. That's something an international lawyer could possibly answer. But I think that until there's a clear majority of Scots in favour of ending the union, Scotland will continue to be ignored not only by the failing UK but by international bodies like the EU and UN.
