Just posted this on the Labour website Left Foot Forward in response to a Scots are too poor, too wee and too stupid article: This is the too poor part of the Scotlands too wee, too poor and too stupid to go it alone argument employed by unionists for centuries. It was initially rehashed and used by unionists in Scotland when the Scottish Government announced it was to hold a referendum on independence. However, once leading UK politicians such as Cameron, Miliband and Cable admitted that an independent Scotland was perfectly viable, it lost all credibility and is now rarely deployed. Instead unionists are now relying on bankers, insurance agents and oil tycoons to do their dirty work. Project Fear as Better Together anointed itself, is now in full swing and is deploying a barrage of capitalist institutions to scare Scots into subservience. It is a deplorable, despicable tactic, but one destined to fail. For what the unionists are failing to realise is that their scare stories have lost effect. You can only say boo once. Also the YES vote is being won in the housing schemes and poorer areas of Scotland. For hundreds of thousands of Scots the union has offered nothing apart from misery, unemployment and deprivation. 47% of children in Glasgow live in poverty, 870,000 Scots live below the breadline, shocking figures after 307 years of the greatest union in history. YES will win despite the scare stories and Scots being told that they are too wee, too stupid and too poor to govern themselves.
