For the first time in its 186-year history, The Spectator‘s cover story will be written by its readers: people from outside of Scotland, saying why they want Scotland to stay and keep our country united. Even over lunchtime, we have been deluged with people writing in to say why they want Scots to stay.
Please keep these coming. If you have sent an email, ask two or three of your friends to send more: editor@spectator.co.uk. Include a picture if you don’t mind our using it. Put ‘STAY!’ in the subject title, and do say where you’re from.
We’ll run them in the cover feature of the new Spectator, certainly, but I thought I’d share a few of them now: they’re better than any speech you’ll hear from any politician.
Our country, our united Kingdom is, above all, a union of peoples. And it is the people of these countries, rather than Westminster, who are now stepping up to fight to keep that country.
