[BITList] Fw: SCOTLAND /INDEPENDENCE ME PERSONAL VIEW AS SENT TO AN OLD FRIEND

[John Davison]

SELF WILL BE 80 NEXT YEAR , DO FEEL AGE ADVANCING ETC !! AM TRYING TO VISIT
MY BROTHER IN WINDSOR PERHAPS EARLY OCTOBER IF I CAN .

THIS SCOTS INDEPENDENCE THING IS DEPRESSING AND I THINK IT MAY GO THROUGH ,
BUT HOPE IT WONT .

SCOTLAND AS PART AND PARCEL IN EVERY WAY  OF BRITAIN MADE BRITAIN GREAT AND
THE WORLD COULD SEE/FEEL OUR PRESENCE  TO THINK WHEN I WENT TO SEA IN 51 ,
BRITAIN HAD THE WORLDS LARGEST NAVY AND MERCHANT NAVY  AFTER WW2 , IN OUR
LIFETIME WE HAVE SEEN THE LOSS OF OUR NAVAL STRENGTH   AND THE EMPIRE  .

APART FROM THE CARRIBEAN I HAVE LIVED AND WORKED IN MOST OF THESE
PLACES , AND NOW IF BRITAIN A SMALL OVER POPULATED ISLAND LOSES SCOTLAND ONE
3RD OF BRITAIN,S LAND MASS  WE  REDUCE FURTHER AND WILL LOSE OUR NAME AND
PRESTIGE IN THE WORLD WHERE SOME WILL SCORN US .

LIKE YOU I RECALL 1940 , MY HOME HAD 2 ARMY CONCRETE PILL BLOCK HOUSE
MACHINE GUN NESTS ON BOTH SIDES  OF THE ROADS OF OUR  HOUSE , MY MOTHER USED
TO GET US INTO THE CELLAR EACH NIGHT TO SAY PRAYERS WHEN THE AIR RAIDS WERE
ON AND THE INVASION THREAT WAS VERY  REAL BUT THE RN AND RAF SAVED US  , NOW
BRITAIN IS IN DANGER AGAIN FROM TERRORISTS AND WE SHOULD ALL STAND TOGETHER
, I CANT UNDERSTAND WHY THE SCOTS AND SALMON CANT SEE THE MORAL AND 
PATRIOTIC SIDE OF
OUR HISTORY [ MY PARENTS FAMILIES CAME FROM DUNDEE AND FIFE ] DONT SEE THIS.

THATS HOW I FEEL  .

GOD BLESS TO YOU AND YOURS .

JOHN
