Yes we have, and what did we say:
We said that we are a passionate nation who care deeply about our
future
We are a rich nation, and recognise our wealth
We are an intelligent nation and know what is important
It was said that this was a once in a lifetime opportunity for
independence. Whilst that may be true
for some I believe we are educating a generation that will not stand idly by
and let our nation’s education and wealth go unsung. I still believe that this is a new beginning
and not an end.
We may be a little shell shocked and battle weary but we can be
proud of the conversations that have been started, the engagement and community
that have emerged.
One truth about the Scot’s personalities is that we have a long
memory – promises have been made throughout this campaign, and whilst we are in
no way surprised by the back-pedalling that had already taken place before the
count was complete, we expect promises to be kept. We have found our way to the polling stations
and it won’t be our last visit.
‘Normal’’ if not a new invigorated Service will now resume on my
blog page, and the Paisley Yes Badge wil be displayed as a constant reminder of
not only what might have been but of a better world to come.
I cannot round off without making comment on Bob Geldof’s ‘follow
your head’ argument – a man who has built his popularity through appealing to
hearts and emotions – really!!!!!
Enough
Que sera
