I share you and your family'...Hello bowanarrow. I share you and your family's hunger for independence. But to win it we need to convince a majority that a radically better life is on offer than the crushing poverty and criminal inequality we face right now. That includes the defense and vast improvement of job opportunities and local services - the key point of this article. So if the SNP want to unite with the rest of us who refuse to meekly accept and pass on Westminster's butchery of council jobs and services, that would be hugely welcome. <br />But that will mean they need to change course from what has happened in recent years, which I hope you and others in the SNP will demand they do. Otherwise not only will the SNP take the blame for Westminster cuts that they, the SNP, pass on, undermining the case for independence because many people will think 'what difference would it make to my livelihood' - but the very people most in need of change, the people who voted YES for change, will suffer terrible disillusionment.<br />And I'm bemused where you spot me calling for threats or violence! I am advocating determined resistance to the cuts, preferably with MSPs and councillors standing up and leading the way alongside council workers and communities - by all necessary NON-violent means we can muster. And the methods of the Liverpool victory I mention are entirely worthy of study, to see what can be applied here and now in Scotland. <br />We face a stark choice of struggle or starve. And the SNP government should use its mandate to defy and defeat the Tory Westminster cuts, or else they will deserve criticism for failing to keep the dream of a better life alive.Richie Ventonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09063663498886447757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4860278705157184232.post-21954927961598614802014-11-18T13:42:44.086-08:002014-11-18T13:42:44.086-08:00PLEASE PLEASE STOP........we are in sight of the p...PLEASE PLEASE STOP........we are in sight of the prize..the first time in hundreds of years.....HUNDREDS.!!!!<br />For the sake of my grandfather, my father, me and MY CHILDREN all of whom who are not in the SNP for political reason, we are there to get our freedom.
