Why Young Scots should Take Heart

Re SNP youth wing vice-convenor expelled and reinstated story on Scotsman:

http://www.scotsman.com/news/politics/top-stories/snp-youth-wing-vice-convenor-expelled-and-reinstated-1-2811027

I am glad the YSI reversed their decision to expel Mr Murray from their NEC because disagreeing about strategy and arguing about it are all part of any strong campaign. I would suggest that the YSI should take heart from the amount of No supporters who are rushing to condemn their organisation below (on the Scotsman forum, before a spammer hijacked the thread).
 
It shows that the YSI (or YSN as they used to be) still maintain an essential role inthe independence movement and our opponents are very, very jealous of that support.   

Young Scots are massively in favour of independence (which suggests the YSI have been doing a great job spreading  the word within their section of society) and Yes-supporting Glasgow students who are eligible to vote are almost certainly reserving their votes for the genuine poll next year.
Even if there are a quite high level of young Brits in Glasgow Uni, who really cares? There are plenty of bitter Brits in the outside world as well, sadly, but I think one can see from the comments on here that they are not winning many friends or influencing people.

Brainwashing is a powerful thing and the media has been feeding us  constant lies while past Scots history teachers (some who rarely mentioned Scotland at all!) have ignored the most important events in our history. It is no wonder that a third of our population don't know what to think  but I believe that third can be convinced if the true facts are put before them.

The fact that Britain tried to rename our country as North Britain or the fact that Britain used to run a network of 20,000 paid spies in Scotland who would report supporters of human rights and send them to the colonies are two very large facts that are mysteriously missing from the official history.
Our young people are our future and the young people of today are living in an age where the SNP are in power and a vote for independence is happening next year!

Divide 'N' Rule has been Britain's most effective tool. Causing Scots to fall out is their greatest wish and for years they have bitterly divided the people of Glasgow between token Brits and Irish and made many forget or submerge their true identity as Scots. Those attitudes are changing fast and the SNP has won seats all across Glasgow and has massive support throughout Scotland.

The internet has provided the people of Scotland with a voice which is not controlled by the media and the Yes campaign is massacring the Brits online. That is where the ideas war is being won and where the knowledge will be disseminated that will ultimately counter Britain's lies. even the papers have been forced to notice the fact that nationalists massively outweigh unionists online which is why they have tried to tar us all with the term Cybernats which an online blogger has cleverly described as Countering Your British Establishments Relentless Negativity And Tripe!

We can win and we will and the YSI will have a massive role in that victory. There is no doubt about that.


Yours for Scotland
