We need to remind ourselves of what we have achieved in the Scottish Anti Bedroom tax Federation and once the count is is, yes vote or no vote we need to come together again and get fighting to ensure bedroom tax arrears are written off, everyone has their promised DHP for 2014/15 and that whoever is in power by April next year this bedroom tax does not raise up and haunt us all over gain from the new financial year!! I have respectfully kept this page free of my views on Independence as there are yes and no voters here. I post this because it is vitally important to recognise what Paul Mason is saying here. He says that noone knows where these grassroots yes voters came from and specifically points out the anti bedroom tax campaign groups. The level of organisation, the abiltiy we have had as an organised and methodical campaign group and the hundreds of meetings that our affiliated groups organised and facilitated to help working class people see that they do have a voice and they can make a difference has been recognised off camera and pointed out to me on several occasions as something that had a small but vitally important part in seeing that the yes campaign was prepared and knew how to go about getting the message to the people that matter but its something Westminster just hadnt prepared for when it came to the bedroom tax and something they forgot to figure into why people are disgusted by Westminster policies and want a change. They forgot that the people were already stirring before they were awoken by the referendum and we do have to take credit for organising people and helping to work together to prove what we can do when we take ourselves away from the TV and we fight. I still havent put my views on a yes or no here a you will note. Gx
