Galloway changes his tune
he supports independence now
I got a leaflet through my door today, from George Galloway’s Workers Party.
Here it is:
Here are the inner pages of the leaflet:
Galloway supports independence now. He’s changed his tune because in the last election in 2021 he led the anti-independence All for Unity campaign.
Did he have a miraculous conversion on the road to Damascus? Or maybe -- and I suspect this is more likely -- he just saw which way the wind was blowing, and joined the side with momentum behind it, the cause of Scottish Independence.
Realistically Scots are going to continue supporting independence, in large numbers, for as long as Westminster remains crap. And the British ruling class is likely to remain crap, in part for long term structural reasons, and in part because they are more interested in playing status games to improve their personal status than to actually do the hard intellectual work of governing the country effectively.
I go back and forth about whether I prefer politicians who bend in whichever way the winds blow, or stand strong in the courage of their convictions, or simply update their opinions based on me evidence. What do you prefer?
I don’tvcare much for Galloway, but i care a lot (and as an 84 year old)?for Scottish independence. Westminster rule has been a disaster for Scotland for at least half my life. It has no hope of changing until they get proportional representation, and get rid of the House of Lords. Which is all very unlikely even in the medium term. So we need to be a Nation again, and England and Unionists will not stop us - just look at the demographics if you are not convinced!
