The SN...Nothing good ever came out of nationalism.<br /><br />The SNP appeals because almost anything would appear to be better than Lahndan based spivs, crooks and warmongers. Yet in the long run nationalism is right wing, mostly far right too. Do we really need to list historical examples?<br /><br />I have tremendous sympathy for what the Scottish people have been through. But they have been no more grievously wronged than the rest of the country outside the Lahndan ghetto. They cannot achieve a fair and decent society on their own - any attempt at truly radical change would be isolated and crushed by international capitalism. In the end, the SNP would be nothing more than a (perhaps) diluted version of New Labour. We all know where that took us.<br /><br />Hence no surprise at the Murdoch link. If Sturgeon does indeed sell out to that corrupt piece of shit it will tell you everything you need to know about the future of a SNP Scotland.<br /><br />The hard lesson is and always has been, not that no man is an island, but that we all live on the same islands. We need each other, not seventeenth century nationalism.
