Scotland—A Proud Nation?? Hail Caledonia..
A PERSONAL SHOPPING LIST.
Mr. President----“NO YOU CAN`T”turn back the clock and change recent events.
Mr.Salmond graciously requested your attendance at the “Homecoming Celebrations of last year, in an
Extraordinary breach of protocol to this date he has had no response from you. This last week in your visit
To the” Alleged “United Kingdom, Mr. Salmond as 1st.Minister of the soon to be Independent Scotland;
Was totally ignored in sharing the typical pomp and ceremony of the English Establishment in honour of
Your trip to “ENGLAND”. We Scots are well accustomed to the contempt and insulting behaviour from
Our neighbours south of the border, we do not expect similar treatment from you!
The “Special Relationship you are so fond of quoting “IN London”, should logically be with my country.
It was thanks to many good men of Scottish extraction that your Nation attained its Independence from
England. Your “Founding Fathers were known to have consulted our very own “Declaration of Arbroath”
In drawing up your Declaration of Independence.
Dear Editor, my apologies for exceeding your specified 150 words in my letter. I could actually write a
Few more chapters on the subject. Perhaps the estimated ten million good American citizens (we are
“SUBJECTS” over here) will remember your attitude when it comes to the next Presidential election.
Unlike their Irish counterparts. I have many excellent American friends on Facebook,I am sure they will
Share my disappointment at your position with regard to Mr.Salmond and the people of Scotland.

Scotland—A Proud Nation?? Hail Caledonia..
My response to Mr Forsyth.
Let me be clear from the start that I am certainly no rabid Anglophile. I have the pleasure of having two wonderful
Sons-in-law as well as an equally wonderful brother-in-law, who happen to represent all that is good about the English people. Unlike yourself who’s “ARROGANCE” does nothing to enhance the reputation of your country.
A plump little strutter out to destroy the world`s most successful union.
Mr.Forsyth,(not to be confused with the equally “OBNOXIOUS” Forsyth from north of the border, infamous to
All who care about the future of Scotland.
This is the first real opportunity I have had to settle down to write my personal analysis of your article in the
English edition of the Daily Express (Friday 13th.May).I am given to understand that you are a writer of fictitious
Novels. Having read your contribution; I would seriously suggest that you stick to this medium. There are various applications of the term “IGNORANCE” which I will do my best to highlight.
The first instance of your “Ignorance” occurs in your heading (see above).I was always given to understand that
When you resort to insulting the physical stature or appearance of your opponent, you have immediately lost the
Argument or debate. Within the context of this example of your “Ignorance”, there probably is a reflection of your underlying “Fear”that the Gentleman you so crudely describe will act as the catalyst to finally destroy what you laughably describe as the successful union.
Again your “Ignorance” was patently obvious in a T.V.debate some years ago, in which you revealed yourself as a
Fervent supporter of the continuation of the “ENGLISH”Monarchy.In your “Ignorance” you manifestly failed to
Evaluate the divergence of the existence of this parasitic institution from the meaning of what a “TRUE
DEMOCRACY”is.Check the definition of Democracy in your dictionary, perhaps you will then discover the error
Of your ways?
This inherent “Ignorance” of yours is patently obvious in your apparent lack of historical detail. There is only one
Nation which has benefited from this dreadful partnership. Over the centuries people from Scotland ably aided and abetted England in building their Empire.Some years ago Norman Tebbit famously made the remark” get on yer bike”
This was in response to the “UNUSUAL” dramatic increase in England’s unemployment, my comeback to this
Observation; was to point out that for generations Scots have been migrating south in their droves as a result of
The paucity of available jobs.Mr.Forsyth it is no coincidence that if you listen to the media you will hear a
Proliferation of Scottish accents.This situation also applies to every facet of English cultural activities, including education, commerce. Industry, the list goes on and on. There was once a census taken which revealed that there more Scots living in the London area as compared to Scotland’s capital city (You may have heard of it?) This does not take into account the “Millions” that have fled over the centuries as a result of 300 years of persecution and deprivation.
I must come to a close, as the mail in my FACEBOOK requires attention, I communicate with many good and decent people from countries all over the globe including England. However before closing I must take you to task on one
More vital and critical issue, as is the case for the media and politicians down here, you are all guilty of mass deception
The subject I refer to is “SCOTLAND`S”North Sea Oil &Gas Fields.I accuse you of many things but naiveté is not
Amongst them.I feel sure that even you have read or heard about the McCrone report, also the “ILLEGAL” 1999 act
Perpetrated by the Government at.Westminster in changing Scotland’s marine borders. These were acts more befitting
An enemy state, rather than an alliance of friendly Nations. Yet I still hear and read commentators “Bleating” about
The poor tax-payers of England subsidising the people of Scotland through the grant system. So you see Mr.Forsyth
You share your “Ignorance” with many prominent like-minded fraudsters.
I end on a happy note for the future of “MY”country.a fact again not acknowledged down here, Scotland is at
Present ahead of the rest of the world in Green Technological Advancement. Which will place the “INDEPENDENT?”
Within the ten richest counties in the world.
“WE DON’T NEED YOU,IN FACT THE OPPOSITE IS THE TRUTH”.THE PERSON YOU SO MALIGN IN
YOUR DIATRIBE WILL TAKE HIS PLACE IN HISTORY AS THE MAN WHO LED THE NATION TO THE
INDEPENDENCE IT SO RICHLY DESERVES.

Scotland—A Proud Nation?? Hail Caledonia..
Further Thoughts on the Election.
Recently I posted a message on my status (A Personal Shopping List),which covered a list of my suggestions
For a new S.N.P.Government to legislate on.After the truly stupendous result, the whole dynamic of our party’s
Attitude should change in accordance with the advantageous situation they are now faced with. NOW is the
Time to “REMOVE THE KID-GLOVES!”. Just a reminder of what I deem to be the items of paramount importance.
Firstly the OIL & GAS scenario, my suggestion was that some form of official inquiry should be held to “EXPOSE”
The “Immoral & Illegal”behaviour of the Westminster Government, ably colluded to by a phalanx of Pro-Union
Parties from north of the border. We all know how it ended up.
Secondly I laid emphasis on the subject of mandatory use of Scottish symbols on “ALL”official stationery. I link
This with another of my ideas, to have the Scottish flag flown at “ALL”public buildings, and private enterprise
Companies should be encouraged to follow this initiative.The purpose behind these “MANDATORY”schemes
Is to inspire the Scottish public to “THINK SCOTTISH not BRITISH (or U.K.).Although our “TRIUMPH”
Transcended any pre-conceived estimate of the astonishing result, there is still a lot of hard work to be carried out to persuade the Scottish electorate to accept that there is only one way to go to attain the status of a Social Democratic
Society and that is “FULL INDEPENDENCE”for our Nation
In all sincerity, David. lol.

Scotland—A Proud Nation?? Hail Caledonia..
The Fat Lady Has Sung
Continuing on my title musical theme,I can assure all of my good friends that I am quite an emotional person;
I have been known to shed a few tears at the sound of the massed pipe-bands playing. I therefore would like to
Express my response to the wonderful result in my country’s election in my own interpretation by quoting
Song titles both old and new.
If music be the food of love? Let the bagpipes play on!
The following is my humble attempt at composing an appropriate rhapsody, to reflect my feelings towards
The result. Which I have been dreaming about for as long as can remember.
My first reaction was to “Cry Me A River”.Having stayed up till the wee small hours my thoughts were “Oh
What A Night It Was.” Although the overall picture is one of promise we must consider that we are “Almost
There”. Despite this I ended up thinking “Heaven I`m In Heaven”which left me contemplating that, if I paid a
visit to my homeland would I be deemed “A Stranger In Paradise?” There is no doubt that at the exhortations
of the man of the moment (need not be named) everyone involved was persuaded to “Fight The Good Fight”.
Of one thing we can be certain a massive proportion of the Scottish public have adopted the attitude of
“Beyond The Fear”Of the Nation standing on its own as an Independent country. This must go down in the
annals of Scottish history as “Dawn Of The Day”the majority of the people summoned up the courage to reject
the dogma of Pro-Unionist parties particularly the charlatans of the Labour party.As stated above I can on occasion
be stirred to tears by particular pieces of music, an outstanding example of this the massed bands playing “Amazing
Grace”.
As a result of this momentous occasion,one thing we can all be certain of; Scotland from now on can never be
Considered a “GREY” area on the map of the world.
Note:-The melody “Beyond the Fear” I have on a C.D. sung by Deborah Sprout, and it is my privilege to have this
Wonderfully talented young lady as my friend on F.B.
Sincerely, David. Lol.

The Wedding.
Now that Grahame has established me back on-line,I can offer a short personal account of what little I
Am aware of about this travesty of “ENGLISH ESTABLISHMENT PROPAGANDA EVENT”.
On Tuesday the Daily Star newspaper front page headline read-“This was a day to be proud to be “BRITISH”.
My experience of living down here is to hear and read the constant reference to William being the future
King of “ENGLAND”.
Another blatant example of “They don’t get it” was a display on the front of a village hostelry which
Consisted of a large Union Rag surrounded by several flags of St.George.Talk about “Ignorance is bliss”!
Finally I wonder if some of Scottish friends could let me know about the response to this jamboree in their locality?
I live in hope that a future S.N.P. Government will publish the details of the cost to the Scottish tax-payers of
This totally scandalous public holiday.

Scotland—A Proud Nation?? Hail Caledonia..
The Scottish Election
Once again I find myself in the position of apologising to “ALL” my good friends. Circumstances have dictated that
I have been unable to respond to the mail I have received this past several weeks. Helping Elaine and Grahame
On their house move to Chester, they then set off for a well deserved R&R break in “Rainy”Spain.During which
Time I discovered that this infernal machine was malfunctioning in several vital areas.Grahame has now returned and performed his usual magic on my computer,enabling me to catch-up with over 300 hundred messages in my mail.
Now to the election,which I view with mixed emotions.As some of you are aware my intentions were to travel
To Edinburgh for a several day visit to correspond with the “Big Event”.Unfortunately due to health issues I have
Had to cancel my plans. I am totally devastated at not attending what could be a turning point (For the better) in the
Modern history of my country.I am also disappointed in not meeting some of my wonderful friends on F.B.
My moral is boosted by the latest news of the opinion polls (we should never underestimate the vagaries of the
Scottish voters).there is also the information of some of the normally “Unionist”media at last coming to their senses
By backing the S.N.P.
I finish by extending my best wishes and good luck to each every one of the S.N.P.candidates my heart is with them
My admiration for them is boundless!In their hands lies the whole future of the Independent Nation of Scotland.
Sincere regards to everyone. David, lol.
