Lord George Robertson’s Jan. 6th opinion editorial in The Washington Post completely ignored Scotland’s legitimate right to be free of English tyranny. During
my 3 1/2 years of study at the University of Edinburgh, I supported the Free
Scotland Movement and participated in the rally featured in the column’s photo.
In 1783 the America seceded from England after winning a
bloody Revolution, so why then can’t Scotland
peaceably secede in 2014?
Eight hundred years ago at the Battle of Bannockburn, Scotland
won her first major victory against the English. In a modern era, nations
should be free to peaceably dissolve the bands that chain one to another. A
democratic vote is not re-Balkanizing Europe; the Romans struggled to reign in
the feudal estates.
The 670-page Blueprint for Scotland, carefully crafted by
academics and policy makers, is the most comprehensive guide to independence
ever written. The “Better Together” proponents, such as Lord Robertson, have
merely mocked the Blueprint.
The problem is that London dictates how Scots should live
their lives. The Scots are overly taxed, overly regulated, and the English
openly discriminate against the Scottish people. That is why Scotland deserves
to join the United States in be free of English rule.
A people should be free to determine their own destiny.
