SAVE THE WORLD - BY GETTING MURDOCH SAYS SCOTS AUTHOR

R. Eric Swanepoel the author of 'Saving the World and Being Happy' has told a meeting of Scottish independence activists that the newspaper proprietor Rupert Murdoch is a 'massive threat' to democracy throughout the world.

Mr Swanepoel addressed an Edinburgh branch meeting of Independence First, the referendum campaign www.independence1st.com and called for an immediate boycott of the Scottish Sun newspaper.

He said "the press in Britain is largely owned by a right-wing asylum-seeker-bashing, hypocritical, foreign-based, war-mongering, tax-dodging, non-UK citizen."

He added "the government eagerly barks and wags its tail at the behest of a fundamentalist war-mongering bigot, whose only interests are those of the world's super-rich."

"It's time to hit him where it hurts, in his pocket, by putting the Sun in the bucket where it belongs! The Suns adverts like to pretend that 'we love it' but I hate it and I'm not alone. Join this boycott and help bring freedom back to the world's press."
