Firstly I hope the lads and lassies in Siol do not mind me displaying one of their photos here.
Secondly would like to make clear in my latest post on Scottish Republic that I urge the people behind Bella Caledonia to lobby the SNP for support.
I see the Bella Caledonia protest as harmless and significant but I think they should also bring the SNP and whole of the Scottish Independence Movement with them and not protest simply in isolation or merely online.
As for new Irish beginnings in Scotland and comrades in IRSP Alba, they are Irish Republican Socialists that deserve support for their efforts. However when and should the Irish or Scots Irish groupings give support to Scottish Republicans, I think they should be open to accept advice from Scots, and work with the good offices of the Scottish Republican Socialist Movement (SRSM).
And let me say only support for the SNP will bring about a vote for change and to move towards freedom and independence, particularly in the first instance. As for the Scottish Independence Movement they will all have to understand the importance of unity against a formidable unionist enemy. This goes for all nationalist groupings and movements in Scotland. We have to avoid splits and divisions that weaken the Spirit of Freedom.
We will break the confidence of the unionist enemy in good time. The phoenix will rise in Scotland and we should prepare for coming battles.
However we must respect our fellow Irish and learn the lessons of struggle by constitutional means or otherwise. The spirit of our national hero John MacLean is as strong as James Connolly was for Ireland.
As for others on the left, the Scottish Socialist Party may claim to be pro-independence but they undermine the efforts of left wing nationalists like myself with their attacks on the SNP and desire for rainbow flags and politics. The message from Republican Socialists such as myself is loud and clear put Scottish independence to the top of your political agenda and entrench such in your constitution. This also applies to my former comrades in Solidarity.
I can write more on my blog about the need to support the SNP and the useful valuable work of Scottish Republicans such as SRSM and how we all need to work together.
From the distinctive band of patriots in nationalist groupings up an down the country we will not weaken in the harder times that face Scotland. I mean the cuts to public services, and a large cut in the so called budget from London, in which we would not be asked to depend on if we were free.
Until Alba gets her independence I echo the SNP in calling for full fiscal autonomy.
As for Scottish Republic it is a weblog that will follow the progress of the inevitable destruction of unionism, and the desire to defeat loyalty to all things described as British in this Scottish Nation.
The Scots behind banners such as "End London Rule" should be respected as they represent the beginning of freedom like a drop of water to a river that runs free.
I wish to say if Scottish patriots want to link up with this weblog and stand up as a force for unity you are very welcome. All nationalists are hereby invited to post their views here. Contact details are redlarry1962@googlemail.com and prepare some questions that you would like to answer here. Names of organisations are welcome as names of individuals are not necessarily important.
All private correspondence will be treated in the strictest of confidence and respect.
Yours For Scotland
Larry
Independent Republican Socialist
