Yes.

Three weeks from now we will find out if Scotland will become an independent country. This is the biggest moment of my country's history and could be the greatest. Let me tell you a little story

The year is 1999 and I am on my old old windows 98 PC, I'm playing earth worm Jim and it asks me to write my name I wrote Steven and age I write 8

But one thing that annoys me it asks for my location, I see France, Belguim, Norway, United States. I know these are country's so I look for Scotland. I can't find it? I am no searching for S I'm searching for the scottish flag, I can't find it and wonder Why? Why can't I put Scotland as my country? I was born here and grew up here and sound Scottish...

Oh no I must put United Kingdom as my location.... The thing is I have readers in Sweden and United States. But you yes you the person reading this have had something you have probably took for granted... You get to put the country of your birth as a location. And I and many scots have never been able to.

Yes technically I am "British" by law, but there is nothing more annoying then some idiot calling you English or saying you're from England... Because you said Britain or UK. But you know what I am also European, do you think I care for some fucker in Poland or Spain? No so why should I care to be British. 

People who say No to Scottish independence because we are stronger together, are wrong. Because they say this and then back the UK to leave Europe, saying it's unfair how Europe decides the laws......... That is what the English are doing to the scottish!!! Deciding our laws, money... And the thing is if the uk has a vote whoever the English vote for win because Scotland a population of 5 million loses to England who have 53 million.....

But on the 18th we have the chance to change all of that. Will we be scared and stay with master England? Or will we break off and stand on our own and write our name in the world. It's not about if you like the leader of the pro independence or not it's about Scotland.

I know I say it a lot but look at Norway, they do not rely on Oil but they are doing well, Denmark too, Switzerland too, Scotland can be a really really wealthy country. Aberdeen is like the oil capital of Europe. We have a lot of tourists Aswell, top art schools, theatre... So why can't we be independent?! 

I love Scotland and have never considered myself or felt British. I feel more European then British. It's not that I hate the uk or England. It's just they are so out of touch.


Yes

Thank you
