#indyref They say a Yes vote is a vote for freedom for Scotland.
If freedom means casting off your chains, then it's as good a reason to vote
No. Voting no to the chains that will tie down our economy. Voting no to the
defeatism on the left that chains us into believing independence is the only
way to win the policies of social justice. Voting no to the chains of
insularity and nationalism.
Most of us have more in common with workers in Newcastle
and Manchester than with bankers,
big business and the landed gentry in Scotland.
We have more in common with the Londoners who elected 20 Labour councils this
year than the 900,000 people in Scotland
who voted Tory, Lib Dem, UKIP and BNP in
2010. Social change will not come merely from reinforcing a squiggly line drawn
north of Carlisle and Berwick.
