WHAT a load of waffle Stewart Hosie managed to concoct in his piece in Sunday’s National (‘I will be making the case for a brighter future for…
). Regardless of his retirement plans later this year, his opening shot was that he promised to remain active in theduring his own time spent there. However, his concluding message was that because the people of Scotland are full of optimism and hope, the SNP will always offer hope.Let me say one thing on that, Stewart: we do not need hope from an SNP government. We need action and, more importantly, information on what benefits will we get in an independent Scotland.
Importantly, we want the government’s view on Scotland’s currency in an independent country and whether it will be an immediate change over. Remember decimalisation? That was an overnight change with hardly any problems apart from the subsequent slight increase in the cost of living.Next on my list, being a pensioner, is my pension. I heard or read way back that it could increase to an average of all EU countries’ pensions? Then there is the NHS.
All of the above has been sadly missing since and before the 2014 vote for independence. We have had to rely on experts outwith both parliaments; people like Gordon MacIntyre-Kemp and his Business for Scotland partners. Stewart Hosie needs to forget for the last few years, forget about politics and concentrate on what we, the sovereign people, would like our country to be. Why not organise a multi-faceted convention with interested parties from all walks of life taking part? That would be good for starters.
