New fund to help independence movement get ready for Scottish referendum
by Gordon MacIntyre-Kemp
Last week’s announcement of the creation of a new fund, the Scottish Independence Foundation (SIF), which offers financial support to the grassroots independence movement, is just another nail in the coffin of this unfair and unbalanced Union. I am proud to have made a personal donation to the Scottish Independence Foundation and that BfS has been able to offer them the chance to be the first to move into our Glasgow Independence hub.
The last few weeks have seen All Under One Banner marches attract impressively large crowds in Glasgow and Dumfries. Business for Scotland (BfS), had a hugely successful launch of our Independence Ambassador Programme — aimed at training grassroots activists in the skills required to educate, inform and convince friends, neighbours and acquaintances to believe in an independent Scotland. Finally, the SNP took possession of the Sustainable Growth Commission report. Research has shown that the Scottish people now trust that Scotland’s economy will thrive with independence – It’s all kicking off.
The SNP has realised it can’t wait any longer as the grassroots part of the movement is self-organising and getting ready to win a referendum in this term of the Scottish Parliament.
The constitutional question has changed: everyone knows there will be a new Scottish independence referendum, we just need to watch how Brexit plays out and use the fact that the Scottish First Minister will be able to choose the timing to our advantage.
