Independence Day In Barbados
Today is what is known as Independence Day in Barbados, the 30th of November 1966 was the day in history when this Caribbean Island ceased to be a British Colony. The first British settlement in Barbados happened way back in 1627 and it took 339 years before they gave up ultimate control.
As a Scotsman living in Barbados I can see why they were so reluctant to give this island up. I suppose it is much like my country Scotland and why the British Government is fighting tooth and nail to keep the United Kingdom together. Like Barbados our day will eventually come and we will be celebrating our Scottish Independence.
Living in Barbados and seeing the immense pride that the citizens feel towards Barbados Independence Day, should provide every Scotsman, woman and child with believe and hope that our day will come soon. Independence in Barbados was achieved without blood shed and fighting, it was achieved through diplomacy and that is an indication of the type of people that live on this extremely beautiful Caribbean Island.

From what I heard the English are desparate to get away from the other three nations of the United Kingdom and want their own government.
They want to cling on to Scotland for all the Billions of dollars worth of oil and gas that are in Scottish waters. The Uk Government makes multi millions of Dollars a day in tax revenue form what comes out of Scottish waters. They wont give that up without a fight.
Every time indpendance rears its head Westminster comes up with countless reasons why it is better for the Scots, Welsh and the Northen Irish to remain part of a United Kingdom. They can’t bear to part with us!
