REAL CELTIC CONNECTION IS MUTUAL DESIRE FOR INDEPENDENCE

Presiding Officer George Reid has said (today at the Royal Irish Academy in Dublin) that devolution within the UK and EU provide the mechanism for more direct and mutually beneficial "Celtic connections" between Ireland and Scotland.

This kind of misses the point.

The real Celtic connection is of course that independence has benefited Eire despite the British state illegally stealing a large slice of Ireland. It would obviously benefit Scotland as well to end British rule here.

Ireland will benefit from Scottish independence when it happens because the end of Britain will no doubt herald the end of British rule in Northern Ireland as well.

Scotland, Wales, Ireland and Cornwall should work together for our mutual and complete freedom from England and the English dominated Westminster Government. JOE
