my great-grandparents arrived in the UK in the 1890s with nothing.
they sold pickles from the front room window, took in laundry, worked as tailors.
their children were nurses, teachers, salesmen.
their grandchildren were professors, designers, opticians, doctors, magistrates, entrepreneurs.

2025 will be another record year, with VAT set to bring in over £14 billion, in Scotland alone.
It's gone up by a THIRD, in 5 years. It ALL goes to Westminster.
Independent Scotland will be self-supporting.
