Wings Over Scotland


Bigger and better than this

Posted on January 17, 2014 by

Some loony posted this to YouTube on Christmas Eve, so we’ve only just stumbled across it. It’s the speech given by Scotland’s Sweetheart (and Wings Over Scotland contributor), the estimable Saffron Dickson, to the Radical Independence Conference back in November, and it’s seven minutes of your life well spent.

We hope to live long enough to see her as First Minister.

    I think anyone who say her on that TV debate programme, can’t remember was it QT?, will never foget the rousing applause she got then.

    Anyone who watched her that night must surely have thought ‘there goes a political heavyweight of the future, and I’m not talking lbs and ounces here.

    This video of Saffron at the R.I.C. conference in December can do nothing but re-emphasise this idea. There is no one in the current unionist ranks who can hold a candle up to her. Everyone from Cameron down would simply be blown away.

    Come to think about it, as Cameron is scared shiteless to debate with Alex Salmond, hence the constant ‘touring’ of his underlings around Scotland, I wonder if we could possibly entice the coward out of his hidey hole to debate with Saffron. Game, Set and Match to Saffron I think! 🙂

    When Ian Hamilton was asked his qualification for recovering the Stone of Destiny in 1950 from Westminster Abbey he replied,

    ” My prime qualification was that I did not know my place. I never have. So many Scots, forgetting that one of the great features of our history is the mobility between classes, have lapsed into the English habit of thought best expressed in the words, ‘I wouldn’t presume. I hope I know my place,’
    I always presume. I have never known my place.”

    That was phenomenal. To be able to write a speech like that and deliver it with such confidence at that age is almost frightening. Scotland needs young folk getting engaged in this debate, becausr it’s their future we’re doing this for, and I hope many can see Saffron here and, as she would say, be inspired.

    What an inspiration to us all! Listening to Saffron really hammers it home that, more than anything else, we owe it to the upcoming generation to sow the seeds for a better, fairer Scotland right now!! Vote YES and give our kids a future!

    By way of contrast, check out this belter, from 1977. Check out the uncertain reaction when Hague tells Mrs Thatcher’s government to ‘get out of the way’ – Howe doesn’t start clapping until he’s sure Maggie approves.

    Remember the atmosphere these people created? How they thrived on it? The damage they caused? The lives they emptied and wrecked?

    They’re back for the long haul, and only people like Saffron Dickson can help us persuade fellow Scots that we ain’t going back there again.

    The obnoxious wee fanny you see in this video was in Glasgow (was it yesterday, or today?) warning us – yes, warning us – that we’d better vote to stay in the union.

    Good comment on the Telegraph btw. Having wasted time cobatting this same bollox on the Spectator blog, I’m not going to waste further time on the Torygraph.

    The worrying thing about these right wing rags is that, although they do this sort of thing as a deliberate wind-up job to get lots of hits on their pages, it has a pernicious effect on their readers.

    There’s a very nasty tendency here: Scots want to leave us = Scots hate us = So they must be hateful = so they are Facists. At least that seems to be the Torygraph’s thinking.

    Inspirational speech from one so young! If Saffron Dickson decides to enter poitics she has got a great future in front of her.

    Contrast and compare this uplifting affirmation of a positive, independent ‘Aye, we can!’ Scotland with the depressing, downbeat and negative ‘Naw, yez cannae!…And don’t even think about it either!’ sneers, fears and smears from Better Together Project Fear…

    Saffron Dickson has something that few people have, and at such a young age – the gift of oratory that can grip an audience and inspire them to better things.

    The Yes Scotland campaign should sign her up ASAP as a spokesperson for what independence can mean for the youth – and those older, indeed – of Scotland.

    I reckon the unionists are terrified of the likes of Saffron.

    Not just because of the Referendum. But with this level of passion particularly amongst the young, this argument is never going to go away.

    The only time you will ever see this level of passion from a No supporter is from a career politician – like Darling, who is also passionate although it comes out as bombast and bluster – who stand to lose a lot personally. The vast majority of ordinary No voters are not passionate, in fact they are the opposite, they are apathetic.

    So even if there is a No vote, there will still be around 40% of people passionately in favour of independence. That 40% will always, always be pushing for change. Something will have to give, at some point. Those 40% are not going to go hold up their hands and say, “oh well, fair enough, let’s carry on business as normal”.

    Certainly Saffron won’t. I think that should scare the unionists more than anything.

Westminster already suspect, worldwide, for war crimes and banking fraud creating instability in the world.

    Russia has conflicts of interest with the EU and Germany. The 11WW devastated the Russian economy and society (26 million Russians died – 1 in 4?). EU can challenge Russian dominance etc. They do have common interests. Stability, trading etc.

    The Russia gov has issues with the London establishment for various reasons. There has always been links between Russia and Scotland. Historical trade and military links, comradeship. – war convoys etc. Oil industry. The Scottish disporia spreading far and wide.

    Even though coverage is inconsistent, at least it is getting an airing, and will be picked up worldwide. Putting pressure on Westminster criminality and lies.

    Westminster has put loan interest charges on Scotland (for monies borrowed and spent in the rest of the UK) £4Billion + taken £3 of assets (Royal Mail sell off) = £7Billion, and not paid any of the deficit.

    He always reminds you of what committees he has sat on etc.. and will quote people who have been on those committees, but he never actually comes up with an idea or an opinion of his own.
