Letter: Our right to life
We know us Scots have a relatively low life expectancy. If people had more control they would have more self-respect. They would feel happier and healthier and would take more responsibility for their own lives.
Scotland has suffered too long at the hands of a supposedly socialist regime, of one colour or another, that attempts to stifle the rights of our people to look out for themselves.

Hide AdThis does not mean we need independence, but that we require our loony left governments - the current and those of the past - to mind their own business and leave us Scots to fend, and think, for ourselves.
Do away with the age-old dependency on a welfare state and encourage people to look out for themselves and each other.
This may seem radical, but, for too long we have allowed ourselves to be governed for the benefit of those governing and not for ourselves.
Independence under the current system will change nothing; it will still leave us without individual independence, stifled by a parliament that is only interested in its own existence.
