The European Parliament has 751 members; only six of these represent Scotland.
In contrast, the UK Parliament has a considerable Scottish presence, has at times been led by Scottish members, and Scotsmen have over the decades, held all the key cabinet positions.
Since the Act of Union in 1707, we have as the United Kingdom ignited the industrial revolution, defeated hostile enemies, and built the greatest empire in the history of the world.
• Canada in the early 1800s: the North West Company and the Hudson’s Bay Company were both trade firms operated mostly by Scotsmen.
These are all things we should remember, be proud of, and celebrate.
Despite all this, the Scottish Nationalist Party (SNP) believes that the European Union better represents the interests of Scotland than any UK government ever could.
So, the SNP plans to leave one union and join another union.
This is because the SNP politicians and hierarchy are not nationalists at all; indeed, independence is only useful insofar as it can push Scotland further into multiculturalism and ultra-PC authoritarianism – that is, at a slightly faster than the rest of the UK.
Evidence of this can be seen in the original SNP plans for the Named Person’s scheme, published a few years ago, which is aimed at making sure parents are adhering to the SNP’s state-approved agenda.
For example, the scheme proposed that an appointed person (a social worker or teacher) would monitor whether a child was able to have a say in home décor, or was being kept away from fire.
(This incredible document can be viewed here, and it is also very much a case of spot the white man).
But as Migration Watch reported, given the opportunity, the SNP would love to “liberalise immigration control across each of the four major migration routes – work, family, student and asylum”.
Easier access to Scotland would become a back door to England.
Once in the UK, immigrants can go where they wish.
Such an outcome would be extremely unpopular in England but also in Scotland, where only 5% want to see an increase in immigration and 64% want a reduction.
About half of the famous East India Company was made up of Scots in the 1750s.
Scotland is famed and rightly proud of its heritage for ingenuity and intellect.
But how can this identity be preserved if the people who built it are systematically replaced?
It is clear that only the British National Party can help preserve Scottish identity, and the British way of life, through a strong and sensible migration policy across the UK.
