THERE seems to be, in my opinion, a misconception of what the recent motion signed by Stephen Flynn and Humza Yousaf for the SNP conference is about.
Clearly, spikes in population level as we experienced in the post-war boom years present economic problems, particularly as the “boomers” who funded the so-called “prosperity” years are now retiring, leaving productive employment and resulting in the diminishing of the very tax contributions needed to fund their retirement and increased need for health and social care in their final years.
Once again we find ourselves at odds with rUK, where we desperately need immigration while there is widespread resistance to it elsewhere in the UK, substantially for non-economic-specific reasons. We’re all immigrants to these islands; only the timescale of our ancestral arrival differs. Since 1921 the population in England has expanded by 68%, in Scotland by just 11%; a clear indicator of how we have been deliberately restrained. This is not an accident, rather the planned stifling of our economy to foster and reinforce the impression that we are too wee and too poor to survive as an independent country; we can only survive through the benevolence of being a “partner” in the UK union and its largesse towards us.
