Sorry that you feel that you can't express your views freely here. I'm english by birth, but have lived in Scotland since i was 15 and I support independence and self governance for Scotland and have enjoyed the fact that this website allows views from all sides to be aired rather than much of the information presented by the pro-union press, which tends to be sensationalist and based on little substance and also paints pro-independance as being anti - english, its not!
it's not about building a big wall to keep english people out, there are lots of us who choose to live and work here. Its about finding a different way to make Scotland the best place it can be.
The policies designed at Westminster are designed for the majority of the UK population, which simply due to numbers are those living in England and always will be. The issues that need addressed in Scotland are often very different and solutions which work south of the border often have very little impact here.
It's simply about self governance and democracy. I would ask that you don't withdraw from the forum and don't let the Bullies win. let the issues around independance be discussed freely and respectfully by all participants as they impact on smallholders as much as any other citizens.
