redstevie007 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Any one got any advice as to the best way to support the cause form abroad, apart from trying to engage people in debate on FB and making them aware to what Scotland really needs, also have a lot of friends from Northern England, who are just as disgruntled at he way they are being governed, and see a need for change, deep down although they speak up for the union I think they can also empathise with our mindset in wanting to be Independent, like I ask though what else can I do from afar to help the cause? There's a lot of stuff knocking about so you need to be careful to read it before sharing Start with the SNP, SSP and Greens FB pages. Women for Independence are posting some good stuff as well. 'The 45' page is pretty good too. The Scottish Indepence Party have just set themselves up but are already sounding a bit too radical for me and also posting a lot of stuff about raising petitions on vote rigging, so be selective with them. Otherwise, don't be put off with people telling you to 'let it go', 'come together', 'move on' etc. That's what the 'unfriend' button's for Order some badges/T-shirts etc (Flure's posted pictures and prices of badges somewhere) and get your pals to post photographs of themselves on FB/Twitter etc wearing them in exotic places. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck Had all of what you have said already, move on, let it go, democracy won etc! I certainly won't be put off.if anything this makes me more determined than ever, funnily enough even if it sounds strange the support I have had from my German colleagues, and their level of disbelief plus critiscm that Scotland didn't have the balls to go it alone has cemented that determination! Where do I find Flure's post? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scouse Eddie Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Keep trying to join but the website crashes. WHY do i ask myself when the SNP is not going to make much of a difference to me down in Liverpoolshire. Well If i can put a few quid in their coffers which can only help the cause, and cant wait for the local political parties to knock on my door next year wanting my vote, then not having a clue what the SNP logo is stuck on my window. What you YES voters are going through i have not got a clue but having voted Labour for 30 years and having my Scottish team of Glasgow Rangers but from last week they can both fcuk themselves Bullying lying scumbags and that's just the Labour party and will leave my opinion of Rangers off the board.

Big Dod Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Calm down everyone. If you phone them up it will just slow the process down further. Remember this is unprecedented. They've doubled their record membership of 60 years in 6 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phart Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 To be fair Huxley got it more right than Orwell, brave new world is more apt than 1984/animal farm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tories = Humans New Labour = Pigs We are right at the end of the book now. The people of Scotland are looking into the farmhouse (Westminster) and we can't tell the pigs from the humans any more. However, unlike the animals, we aren't going to let them keep our farm much longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
