FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda David Cameron hold his first meeting with Scottish National Party (SNP) leader Alex Salmond, whose anti-Union party has been long planning for Scotland to be an independent state and leave the Union behind after over 300 years.
Salmond scheduled to hold Scottish independence referendum in autumn 2014, believing that the independence from the UK would be completed by Scottish Parliament’s 2016 election.
But the British government constantly urged Scotland to hold the referendum “sooner than later,” with Cameron dictating condition on the SNP, pressing to conduct the vote by summer 2013. This is because UK government believes that the independence would not receive yes-vote since opinion polls demonstrate fewer support of the split at the moment.
As far as London retains primacy on Scotland’s defence, energy and foreign relations, Cameron used his Scotland speech to warn that the split would damage UK’s status in Europe, within NATO and risk the Britain’s permanent seat on the United Nation Security Council.
However, Salmond stressed that the independence would ensure more prosperity, since it would allow Scotland to take advantage of its oil, gas and other energy resources.
“We have 25 percent of Europe’s tidal power potential, 25 percent of its offshore wind potential and 10 percent of its wave power potential — not bad for a nation with less than 1 percent of Europe’s population,” Salmond said.
But, Cameron once again repeated London’s view that Scotland would be “safer and richer” if it continued with the UK. “We’re stronger, because together we count for more in the world,” he claimed.
Salmond condemned Cameron’s suggestion that declining independence would provide Scotland with greater power and prosperity.
“If the prime minister has an offer to make to the people of Scotland then he should make it now. He should spell it out now so we can have a clear debate and a clear decision on the alternative futures for Scotland.
“This idea of saying ‘well, vote No and we’ll give you something later’ I don’t think is going to convince anyone in Scotland and I think the prime minister, as a new tactic just adopted this morning, is on very shaky ground if he believes people in Scotland will be fooled again,” Salmond said speaking after his meeting with the UK PM.
