Kenny MacAskill lights up the room

Kenny’s Main Points

• History shows that the Scottish legal establishment does not stand up for Scottish values, and the Supreme Court in London certainly does not, even with a Scottish judge.
• We should follow legal means to gain Independence, but let’s not kid ourselves that the legal establishment stands with us.
• The real case for Independence has to be made in the minds of Scots.
• The Supreme Court does not get to make democratic decisions for Scots
• Nor does a Tory government
• A Scottish Constitutional Convention has to be called now
• The SNP have promised one: if they won’t call it others will!
• We have to coordinate and prepare for all in the YES movement to join together in a big march next year to show the people of Scotland say YES
• We need to campaign on the Claim of Right
• We need to campaign on the disgrace of fuel poverty in our country which is so energy rich
• We have another opportunity to become a rich country like Norway did in the 1970s – they were poorer than Scotland then – now look at them!
• It’s not just the poor areas with fuel poverty – it goes deeper than that, into the commuter belt towns as well.
• Scotland should be taking charge of the energy from our shores.
• Scotland should be making turbines and getting the jobs and skills from them, not just settling for a few hundred jobs but creating tens of thousands
• The campaign for Scottish Independence has to go back to the grassroots, not be held back by those who currently control the timetable
