Starmer unthinkingly apes Trump. This is an opportunity for independence followers.
René Descartes used to insist that a clock out of order is not an exception to the laws governing clocks – it is a different mechanism obeying its own laws. So it is in Westminster – in the negative – and so it must be in Scotland – in the positive. Ukania is a state of various parts, all ultimately subject to a centralised administrative system on which the entire economic, political and intellectual life is dependent, and ultimately emasculated. The clock of Scotland should consist of the repaired and reinstated wheels and cogs of a true democracy, whose institutions work for all. To understand Starmer is to understand that for all of us who live in Scotland – no matter what colour or creed – is to understand that we have to exist in order to struggle. Neither Starmer or his puppet-master Trump can stop us from working towards a clear comprehension of the object of our effort: an independent Scotland that is equal for all. Nothing they can say or do, nothing in the world, can stop us from thinking clearly, from existing fully and from understanding what must be done.
