In a shocking about face, Tory leader in Scotland, Douglas Ross, has released to The Notional an exclusive White Paper setting out the Conservative and Unionist Party plan to give Scotland full independence.
“We should have done this years ago,” Ross said in a candid camera interview.” After Braveheart came out, and Scots around the world started crying ‘Freedom’, the Conservatives should have listened. We are the party of freedom after all.”
Our intrepid journalists haven’t yet read through the four page White Paper – did Humza Yousaf raise any complaint when Alex Salmond and Nicola Sturgeon unveiled their White Paper back in 2013, we’d love to know – as we’re still churning through the 388 page CASS Report. However we understand the cornerstone of Ross’s plan to win back voters in Scotland is to set out a vision for full employment. This would be coupled with a complete, staged removal of benefits. Reminiscent of a five year plan, under the Tory vision, Scots who currently either sit at home doing nowt, or attend Independence marches would be given actual independence. They could earn some money, or become homeless. It would be their independent choice. If they choose to earn money, that money would allow them to save, and invest, perhaps even in a sure thing like The Darien Scheme, go bankrupt, and be forced into a union with England. If history repeats itself. Which history does seem to do. If Scots were to choose a life without earning, they could wander the streets in any town, city, or hamlet they choose, independent. Completely and utterly independent.
We at The Notional are not convinced most people who go on Independence marches have really thought through what they claim they want. What about you, dear reader? Do you like this new Tory plan? Would you vote for real independence or just the independence light offered by the SNP/Scottish Green coalition?
