I was under the assumption that Scotland had to stay within the UK union in order to survive. How wrong could I be! Since that Brexit vote my attention has been mainly on nothing BUT politics.

I was horrified that England could make the decision to take another country out of a union, without their consent, which they themselves wanted to stay a part of. I have educated myself and done my own research. So much so, that for the first time in my life, at this age, my wife and I have joined a political party.

I will campaign for an independent Scotland with my Scottish cousins, who have accepted me, no questions asked. Don't let anyone tell you that this is a vote against the English. It has no bearing on England and people need to stop this toxic rhetoric.

The only people I hear saying this are those who are against independence. I fully intend to campaign with gusto to achieve this. England should try it, independence is normal.

Thank you, Scotland
