In response to Tim Stanley and the Conservative hand ringers


I hear a lot of this UKIP can't be allowed stuff ( from CCHQ friendly journalists especially ). The alternative seems to be the trust Cameron idea that tame Conservative Eurosceptics have swallowed with a sudden outbreak of Stockholm syndrome.

Well here's the thing - almost by definition no one in UKIP trusts David Cameron, now or ever again. Its just a fact that Conservative Outers ( not the same as fair weather Euroscepticism with half an eye on their careers ) need to accept.

Writing articles saying "UKIP must ..." is really writing propaganda for the Yes campaign - because frankly if we trusted the Conservative or Labour parties then many of us would still be in them.
There needs to be a start - and it will be made by those who turn out and turn up.

Many UKIP members like myself would welcome those from all or any political party who want a sovereign and democratic country restored. Those who have to wait to see which way the wind is blowing and the fine detail of the renegotiation frankly aren't going to be much use to anyone.
The train is leaving - get on and join in and stop whining.

We are better off together !

The truth is we are more together than we are as the sum of our parts.

It has disappointed me that the positive aspects of Britain - including what the Welsh, English and Irish bring to our joint nation has been underplayed in the fascist blood and soil arguments of the SNP and the sometimes negative response of the No campaign.

For 300 years we've had each other backs and until the irresponsible disaster of devolution have had proud identities but shared values and friendships.

Its worth Scots fighting to put right what is wrong, not retreating to isolationism and the just surrendering all key aspects of their lives to the EU superstate. ( Who do you think will handle the current Scottish Banking crisis with more sympathy - Frankfurt or London ? Remember it primarily the English who have paid for and saved the Scottish banks - and without complaint ).

There will need to be some re balancing of the UK to provide the Justice that England has been denied and the likes of the Lib Dems still want to deny us with their anti-English Balkanisation policy, but that can be sorted with our famous pragmatism and some generosity.

Vote to stay, vote to stay British, vote to stay family and friends, Vote No to Alex Salmond's isolationist and separatist vision.
