Firstly, yesterday saw the announcement of the date for the Scottish Referendum. It will be held on the 18th of September in 2014. They now have 18 months to get everything in order and have answers to all the questions people are likely to have prior to that time.
I have to note that the BBC have blocked comments on their political website from Scottish people. No one in Scotland can comment on this page - the Scottish political page which features the clearly biased Brian Taylor. This is the story on the issue in full Link
Hopefully the time has finally come to stop talking about process and to start debating the facts. This comes immediately after the Scottish government have been shafted by Westminster on the Budget - we will receive £50 million less than was expected, in a terrible bid by Westminster to maintain power over the northern part of the UK.
Mainstream coverage at the moment seems to be lacking in facts, especially with regard to the independent point of view. There is clearly too much propaganda and unionist bias within major media outlets. The only views in the news coverage at the moment state that Scotland will be worse off without the union when in fact there is far more information in support of a profitable independent Scotland, between oil and gas, renewable energy technology, tourism, exports etc.
On another note, I have written 3 books. 2 are part of a series set in Scoltand about the Sidhe, fairy folk. Available on kindle and in paperback:
The Island of the Mist is book 2
The Stone in the Sword is book 1
The 3rd book is an adult, sexy witchy werewolf/vampire story set in New York and featuring a strong female lead character, again available in kindle and paperback formats:
The Wolf, the Witch and the Coffin
