But anyone who dares question whether our independence 100 years ago was a terrible and ghastly mistake gets savaged, and if they say it to the wrong people, sometimes murdered.
I don’t think independence was a mistake. I think we’d be poorer than Scotland if we were still part of the UK but I agree 100% with your point about the absence of dissenting voices.
I think that there’s been as almost tyrannical adherence to a simpleminded narrative around independence that has been a blight on the country and whitewashed our history in a most unjust and contemptible manner and led to what amounted to the de facto ethnic cleansing of 20% of our population.
That's a copout. You've made plenty of personal comments about me on this thread and insinuated that I have base motives and that's fine, it's a discussion forum and I expect robust debate, but that comment's too much for you? Wow.
