Keir Starmer’s patriotism underlines the need for English independence

EVERYBODY wants unity. But they all want unity on their terms. Nobody is prepared to make the compromises that solidarity demands.
THE passage of the so-called Rwanda “safety” bill by the rancid corrupt Tory brigands is a watershed and an abomination. It will stand out as an ignominious event of degradation and political filth, and will live in infamy. It represents a rejection of morality, truth, and the rule of law.
NOW the Greens are talking about withdrawing from the Bute House Agreement (BHA), saying that red lines have been crossed. Let’s not forget that last autumn their co-leader Lorna Slater went on record saying that independence for Scotland would NOT be a red line in any future agreement with the Labour Party to form a Scottish Government.
THE Greens are taking the huff because the levels of Greenness promised as part of the Bute House Agreement are being reduced.
WHAT does it take to convince the United Nations and Western governments that Netanyahu is committing war crimes and has been for several months in his directed attacks on Gaza and its people?
I READ Ann Leitch’s letter on Saturday with interest. When we were in lockdown I timed my “routine” round our First Minister’s daily appearances on TV.
I WRITE on the eve of Believe in Scotland’s march and rally in Glasgow, and in the wake of a couple of pieces in this paper, Jonathan Shafi’s of April 16 (“The Yes movement is back at square one and needs a complete renewal”) and Richard Walker’s of April 19 (“Independence is the only goal that Yes movement has to be unified on”). Both writers discern, correctly, that the movement for independence is in a bind.
HAVING read the two most recent articles in The National concerning the cancellation of the “Harry Potter” train – most recently by Steph Brawn on April 4 – I’m disappointed that neither article mentions the time that West Coast Railways (WCR) have had in order to fix their door problem.
WELL-WRITTEN, Jonathon Shafi (The Yes movement is back at square one and needs a complete renewal, Apr 16). You nailed the problem, but not the solution. The solution for an independent Scotland can only be achieved through unity of purpose, not factionalism, division, sabotage, back-stabbing, entryism, depression and defeatism.
