Press Release from Alliance To Liberate Scotland.
Alliance to LIberate Scotland thanked Wes Streeting for the candour that cuts through years of Westminster evasion.
By flatly ruling out any independence referendum, Labour has given the Yes movement the clarity it deserves before the election.
No more polite requests to London. No more waiting for permission. No more pretending that Scotland’s future rests in anyone’s hands but our own.The message from Westminster is now unmistakable: they will not allow the Scottish people to decide our nation’s destiny.
Professor John Curtice’s analysis is equally clear and equally damning.
Voting SNP on the list will deliver no additional SNP list seats.
Voting Green means placing your faith in a party that does not treat independence as a red line.
The independence movement has only one option left if we truly mean to liberate Scotland: vote Alliance to Liberate Scotland on the constituency and on the regional list.
We do not ask London’s permission. We do not beg for scraps of democracy.
Real power is not given – it is taken.
We will put the clear question of independence directly to the sovereign people of Scotland – the only people who have the right to decide our nation’s future.
The decision will be made here, by us, in Scotland. Not in a committee room in Whitehall. Not by the stroke of a London minister’s pen.
This is the spirit that has always stirred in the hearts of ordinary Scots – the same unyielding courage that once stood shoulder to shoulder in the shipyards and the tenements, refusing to be broken, demanding dignity and self-respect.
It is the fire that Burns captured when he wrote:
“By oppression’s woes and pains!
By your sons in servile chains!
We will drain our dearest veins,
But they shall be free!
… Liberty’s in every blow!
Let us do – or die!”
That same defiant heart beats in every Yes supporter who has marched, leafleted, argued, and hoped through the long years.
It is the spirit of those who know that Scotland’s future is not Westminster’s to grant – it is ours to seize.
The time for asking is over.
The time for doing is here.
Every vote for Alliance to LIberate Scotland on both the constituency and the regional list is a vote to liberate Scotland once and for all.
Every constituency won, every list seat secured, brings us closer to the day the Scottish people finally exercise the sovereign right that has always been ours.Westminster has spoken.
Now Scotland must answer.
Real power is taken, not given.
Vote Alliance to Liberate Scotland.
Take Scotland’s future into Scotland’s hands.
Nothing could be clearer. Wes Streeting making it clear that Scotland will NEVER be granted a referendum from the Labour party and John Curtis saying that voting SNP on the list vote will give SNP NO ADDITIONAL SNP MSPS. If John Swinney can’t understand that which I doubt, he is a Unionist in my book and needs to be removed. Vote Alliance To Liberate Scotland in Both votes if you have a candidate standing in the Constituency vote and vote for them in the Regional (List) vote where there is a candidate standing in EVERY Region.
Well said,thank you
Utterly utterly deluded.
I have already done this, was asked to confirm my email which I did.
May this clear statement by our English masters and their poodles awaken our unionist supporting countrymen and women from their slumber and lack of awareness.
Superb, invigorating piece, Roddy.
Streeting confirming what many of us already knew will almost certainly have no effect on Swinney/SNP’s mindless promotion of the SNP x 2 idiocy. I say ” mindless ” but in actuality it has a particular intention, ie to ensure the election of Unionists and prevent the current SNP’s nightmare scenario – a majority for the latter in it’s own right, thereby giving them absolutely no ( legitimate ) excuse for further prevarication and dissembling.
Streeting is a man who would stamp on your face.
He is an animal and someone you cannot negotiate with. His blatant denial of democracy is clear indication of what lies beneath.
He and his ilk, and I jest not, would kill at a drop of a hat to enforce whatever it is that they want.
The British establishment have brutally done that for centuries. That is how you retain colonies.
Denial of democratic will is but the tip of the iceberg with people like Streeting.
