This week’s Spectator cover piece is written by our readers. Here are some more letters to Scottish voters, explaining why our United Kingdom should stay together.
I come from the Isles of Scilly, which is as far away from Scotland as it’s possible to get whilst remaining in the UK. Flung out into the Atlantic ocean, 28 miles off Land’s End, I have always thought of my islands as part of the great Celtic fringe of this Kingdom.
All I can do is plead with the people of Scotland to look beyond an opportunity to ‘shake off Tory rule’ and to consider instead how fortunate it is to be born British, and how much Scotland means to the rest of this country. I plead with them to look around the world as the forces of nationalism and division take their toll and to reject them in favour of something far sweeter, far greater: a peaceful, prosperous and beautiful United Kingdom.
