Auld_Reekie Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Yep. Ive been sharing it this morning too. A brutal and direct article that I think would help shift some of the more stubborn Undecided's. Some harsh home truths in that article.

neilser Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Aye, I posted it yesterday. http://tartanarmyboard.co.uk/forum/index.php?showtopic=217 Excellent article. Just as well that Monbiot is English though, as he'd be denounced by the commentariat as an anti Englsh racist if he'd been Scottish.

Wine bibber Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Good stuff.When presented like this independence just becomes the ultimate no brainer. Blair Jenkins said similar in a very well presented and humorous speech a few months ago.Think it was posted on the old board and was a bit of a Eureka moment.for some The reaction from the audience was particularly satisfying .Anyone have the link?

Hertsscot Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Wow! Some article especially in a paper that has been pretty much in favour of a no vote. Should be widely shared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
