Ignorance...

The UK has the 3rd lowest pensions in the 34 OECD countries of the world

The UK has the single most expensive childcare in the European Union

The UK has the second lowest-paid economy in the entire developed world

The UK has the 3rd longest working hours in the EU

The UK has the lowest number of holidays in the EU

The UK has the 8th highest gender inequality pay gap out of the EU's 28 countries

The UK has the highest likelihood of poverty in disablement in the EU

The UK has the highest rail prices in Europe

The UK has the second highest housing cost in Europe

The UK has the highest fuel poverty rates in Europe.

The UK is the 4th highest country of wealth inequality in the entire planet!

But surely these awful figures cannot be possible when you read the following Scottish statistics... And finally, did you also know that in every single one of the UK's parliamentary elections... not one vote cast in Scotland has ever mattered?!



Because of the way Westminster numbers are manipulated, whatever government England votes for, ALL of the UK gets lumbered with it. What does that mean? It means we have no real democracy here! No real democracy for Scotland, for Wales or for Northern Ireland! The four decades of Conservative rule that we voted against is proof enough, and our defiance was punished by the closure of all the mines; closure of all the steelworks; closure of all the shipyards, losing hundreds of thousands of jobs. The term used by Thatcher when these industries needed assistance was "let the markets decide". Funny how when the greedy bankers collapsed everywhere they were bailed out to the tune of over a trillion pounds of our money... No mention of "let the markets decide" then! Why? Because the greedy London bankers and the equally greedy English politicians sleep in the same 'bed'!



Facts:



Fact: Scotland has an oil boom waiting to happen on the West Coast, but Michael Hesaltine signed a cessation of any form of oil exploration in the entire area in the 80's to make way for nuclear submarines which Scotland doesn't want!



Fact: Scotland has shown its revulsion time and time again to nuclear weapons but they place them here against our countries wishes. A recent contingency report was carried out about the feasibility of relocating them in Portsmouth. The report stated that it was unfeasible because the detrimental risk to the area in the case of an "incident" was too high. But English politicians are happy to risk the lives and health of Scottish people!





Fact: The vast majority of Scottish people protested against the illegal and inhuman invasion of Iraq in 2003 that the same Blair government tried to sell to us with lies and half-truths. The supposedly 'anti-war' Blair government completely ignored our wishes (and the wishes of the people of the world) and proceeded to bomb and occupy Iraq, killing 1.5 million Iraqi citizens in the process. Scottish people do not want to be associated with Westminster war criminals and their war crimes. When you vote "YES!", you are voting to disassociate all decent Scottish people from such inhumanity.



Fact: Scotland, with only 1 Tory MP, was forced to accept the shocking attack on the poor & disabled in the form of the euphemistically-named Bedroom Tax, even though as our nations government, Holyrood voted to utterly reject this awful tax on the poor. Westminster forced us to accept it anyway!



Fact: We are led to believe that the oil in our waters is finished and its a dying industry. Yet 13.5 billion has been invested by oil companies in the last 2 years alone!



Fact: The Clair Oil Field is about to open, and on its own has over 650 million barrels which will be extracted over 20+ years with production reaching a hundred thousand barrels a day!



Fact: Scotland gives far more to Westminster than it receives. Do you really think they'd be so keen to keep the union if we were being subsidised as they would have us believe?



Fact: Westminster has amassed over £1.3 trillion debt, and it is growing at nearly £6000 a second. That's another £516 million today alone which you will have to pay for. What are they spending it on? Brutal and inhuman wars against innocent people around the world! and in YOUR NAME!



Fact: Of the 178 countries that have gained their own independence across this planet, not a single one of them has ever asked to reverse this independence, and very few of them have the assets we have.



Scotland, what are we scared of? We have a chance... Without a single bullet being fired, without a single death... To get our freedom and independence, to have a chance at true democracy, to set an example to the people of the world that we do not have to lie down and accept the rule of psychopaths in power! All you have to do is put a cross in the yes box.



Scotland, its time to stand up as a nation and vote yes on the 18th of September... And become a free and caring nation once again!!!



Vote YES! and set our country free from the toxic influence and policies of a group of psychopaths in London!!



Y e s ! ! ! Y e s ! ! ! Y e s ! ! !





Let's be honest. For a long time, the vast majority of you have, at the very least, harbored a certain resentment towards the 'English', and by 'English' I mean the racist, warmongering 'elite' class in Westminster who have treated you as second class citizens.. As an example of the prevailing attitude of the English establishment towards the Scottish people, consider the comments made by two members of the English establishment media a few days ago. In reference to the very fact that the Scottish were even being 'allowed' the chance to vote for independence, one of them said the other added:These comments clearly highlight the contempt with which the English establishment authorities look upon the Scottish people. So why would any Scot, in his or her right mind, want to be associated in any way with such elitism and arrogance?Scotland has only 8.3% of the UK's population. 8.3%! Remember this important figure... 8.3%On the other hand, Scotland has:All of this, yet only 8.3% of The UK's population... Wow, Scotland should be rich! Why isn't it? Why are 50% of Scottish children at risk from poverty? Simple, because Scottish wealth and resources are siphoned off by the English psychopathic elite.Consider the legacy of our history of supposedly being "better-together":
