Scotland—A Proud Nation?? Hail Caledonia..

A CRY FROM THE WILDERNESS
Or A TALE OF ESQUIMAX (ESKIMO) AND THE MIDNIGHT SUN.
A SHORT DRAMA PRODUCED IN 1909.


I find it interesting that, with a bit of imagination; you can ascribe a link in any subject or topic in the field of
Writing and adapt it for the purpose of providing amusement or something more serious for the readers. Take the
Above titles as an example, I discovered a positive link to an article I have recently written about on my profile,
The subject of which (coincidentally) was a published article by “England Calling” which can obviously
be attributed to the first part of the heading (as far as Scots are concerned.) When you consider the
Second part, the Nation of England is undergoing the Setting of the “Midnight Sun” on the last vestiges of their
Old Empire. So, taken as a whole, the English are voicing their sheer frustration at the prospect of being completely
“Frozen Out” by their erstwhile, what they regard as hostile neighbours from hell; the S.N.P.and their massive
following.

The theme of my following narrative is one of a far more serious nature As stated on my profile posting, the
Message from England Calling states quite specifically that, if Cameron is still in power (and who would dispute this premise, knowing the strength of the right-wing vote in “Middle England”), he and his Westminster Government would have the right of veto over the result of our referendum. I have in my naiveté always believed that our country held
The power to decide our future in accordance with the “will of the people”. On a fuller investigation of the subject
I find myself sadly disabused of this “Moral Question”. I cite a paragraph from Wikipedia which reveals the depth of
The “BETRAYAL” of our country the “Parcel O`Rogues”visited on us in 1707.
Quote:-“A referendum for Scottish Independence or a Bill of the Scottish Parliament seeking to change the
Constitutional status of Scotland “Would not be LEGALLY BINDING” on the U.K.Government, because the British
Parliament holds “ABSOLUTE PARLIAMENTARY SOVEREIGNTY” and any changes to the Constitutional
Status is one of the reserved matters for Westminster. Westminster could amend the Scottish Act changing the powers
Of the Scottish Parliament and legally block any Bill for Independence brought by the Scottish Government.
(DEMOCRATIC VALUES AS APPLIED BY THE MOTHER OF PARLIAMENTS!)

As the old saying goes, first the less than good news; followed by the much better news as follows. My good
Friends you will find this snippet of information profoundly inconceivable, when I read it I was absolutely stupefied.
It would seem that we have two prominent former English Prime Ministers on the side of justice; the first person
Is not quite in the realms of the fantasy surrounding the second. I quote again from Wikipedia.John Major and
“WAIT FOR IT” Margaret Thatcher “YES THE ONE AND ONLY”, have stated unequivocally that Scotland’s
Future should be decided on the basis of “THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE” in discussing our Independence.
Cynics have claimed that the lady has performed a U-TURN under the duress of temporary insanity, or otherwise a
Mind aberration.

It now becomes an imperative (in my humble opinion) that, pertinent to my initial paragraph, the issue of next
Year’s March for Independence becomes one of vital primacy; for reasons I quote. If perchance Cameron and
His Government decide to inculcate by way of a veto our vote for Independence; the top priority will be to win the referendum with a formidable majority. In setting out to achieve this I would propose that the March (Rally) be
Held on an annual basis, culminating in the largest gathering of all on the Saturday before the referendum.
In the time-frame between the first and last rallies every effort must be must be made to maximize publicity not only
At home, but also on an International scale. To this end I have submitted an idea of mine to the March organizers
that they implement a scheme whereby they make contact with Scottish societies all over the world in order to garner their sponsorship (not necessarily monetarily) on behalf of our cause. I deem myself a very fortunate person
in having built up a circle of friends in many countries, among which are two lovely lady authoresses,
Beatrice Balti from France and Konstantina Ritsou from Greece. Our wee country should be proud to have two ladies
Of such distinction sharing passionately our regard for our heritage. Knowing all my friends overseas as I do, I have no
Doubt that they will be more than willing to mobilize further support from their friends and colleagues. In accordance with the dynamic of my general propositions I would add that there are further ways which will be beneficial to our advancement. As an example I recollect that my lovely and good friend Lydia Reid, prior to the May election, published the fact that she had actually persuaded 5 (five) of her pro-union friends to vote for the S.N.P.I would therefore
Suggest that, based on Lydia’s remarkable success, the implementation of a new cause; its purpose would be to
Apply the same principle and reap the benefits of what we sow. A suggested title for the cause could be “CONVINCE
YOUR FRIENDS AND COLLEAGUES TO BACK FULL INDEPENDENCE FOR SCOTLAND”.

A return to the issue of the possible Westminster veto. Any English Government who would contemplate this form
Of regressive action (or is it aggressive), would have to consider it with a great deal of introspection. With the aid
Of an overwhelming number of International Friends, including those already on board, they would have to rationalize
On their decision; taking into account the direst of diplomatic consequences. At the latest estimate the U.S.alone
Has an estimated 10,000,000(ten million) citizens who are proud to announce any connection with their Scottish
Ancestry. In the end their final decision would be contingent on either an “UNDEMOCRATIC IMMORAL ACT” or
Accept that the will of the Scottish people is paramount in the face of an inevitable “International Outcry” I can’t
Be more categorical in emphasizing my ideas in harnessing the contribution of the International Community!!!!

One more final point I feel is worth outlining, that is the official role of the S.N.P.My opinion is that with no negative influences, such as Political Expediency; the party should endorse publicly their full support for the rally(S).The same
Would apply to each and every one of the branches throughout the country. I would therefore make this personal
Appeal to Alex and everyone involved, let us hear and read about it in the coming months

I refer back to my first paragraph; the item “England Calling”, my contention is that they have their backs to the wall
And they are not just calling; they are being dragged kicking and screaming towards the final dissolution of
What I would term their old and decrepit Empire. Their protestations are based on their knowledge that they will be
In a far more inferior position without their dependence on Scotland’s massive natural resources.

My friends my apologies for this seemingly endless message. Truth to say I hope that you can find the time to peruse it
And find that some of the content is at the least constructive????

“Yours aye!”. David.
