Homage to Scotland
I pay my personal tribute to Scotland who believed in independence, and also to all those who believed in the promise of home rule made by Gordon Brown and the three unionist parties.
Woe to those who do not keep promises made to the people!
In a special way I want to pay tribute to the social side of this history we lived together: low-paid workers, low-income families, under-employed young intellectuals, small entrepreneurs, family-run farms, immigrants, activists, social workers, anti-war militants, greens.
The self-consciousness they acquired, the awareness that they have matured, have reshaped these people.
Such humble, fragile, often loser people, they have conquered full citizenship, they have the power.
Scotland has a new prince, a collective body, its citizenry.
This united people no longer want to just be treated with justice, they want to be the prince who dispenses justice, equality and opportunity for all.
A princely citizenry is born and it is here to stay.
This is more a beginning than the end!
Home Rule NOW!
