Freedom for small Nation states

Irish Republicans will join Scottish, Basque, and Breton Republicans and socialists tojoin together to demand the end of the British state in Edinburgh on 2nd July, at the same time as the 'Make Poverty History' demonstrations.

Scottish, Basque, Breton and Irish Republicans and socialists will be joining together to demand the end of the British state in Edinburgh on 2nd July, at the same time as the 'Make Poverty History' demonstrations.

SSP, SCND and Independence First are all providing speakers for the event and they will speak alongside representatives from the Basque County and Ireland.

JOHN PATRICK, a national SSP Spokesperson, commented:

"The SSP is fully committed to an independent socialist Scotland and the break up of the British union along with solidarity with oppressed nations and cultures worldwide. The dismantling of the British state would be a massive blow to the G8 and would give Scotland a chance to make the break from poverty and subservience."

The Scottish Republican Socialist Movement are organising the meeting. DONALD ANDERSON, a member of the SRSM’s Ard Fheis commented:

“We have a straight choice of having our human rights eroded within Britain or having a free and independent Scottish republic which has genuine respect and friendship with other nations.”

“While Scotland is locked into the British State we will remain powerless to effect radical change internally and Scotland’s voice will remain silent on the international stage. It’s time to break it up, making Britain history would be a big step forward for democracy and an inspiration to other national independence movements all around the world.”

JOE MIDDLETON commented on behalf of Independence First, the campaign for a referendum on independence (http://www.independence1st.com) :

“The cause of independence requires maximum unity amongst its supporters. Together, we can and will win our rights to self determination through independence, the normal status of most other countries around the world.”
