Free Scotland From Westminster Campaign

It's pretty clear by now that we will never be granted ‘permission’ to hold a Scottish Independence referendum. Never. Ever. None of the English political parties who squat in Westminster will allow it. The Anglo state will make sure it doesn’t happen. The only route to Scottish independence is by NOT asking for permission, but through work such as that being done by Sara Salyers and team.
YesScots #YesScots and Meidas Scotland have agreed to collaborate on a new initiative, namely a long-term comms campaign putting forward one simple message to be repeated over and over. Artwork courtesy and copyright of Colin Dunn, aka #Indyposterboy

We will be using one simple design with the caption “Free Scotland From Westminster”
This one simple headline message makes it clear: Westminster will continue to keep us captive until we achieve Independence.
The campaign follows on from our Pro-Independence Banner initiative earlier this year with over 22 YES groups and individuals participating. Over 68 large banners were delivered across Scotland, and YES groups are actively displaying many of these now. A proven track record has been demonstrated and we are building on its success. See The National article https://www.thenational.scot/news/25288085.68-independence-banners-delivered-activists-across-scotland/?ref=cprfa
We encourage all YES groups and Indy supporters to participate in this new campaign by quoting with your own comments of support and reposting on your social media including the hashtags #freescotland26 and #defacto26
Our initiative is to help unite Independence groups and supporters, therefore we encourage you to use, copy and share the main message - get rid of Westminster.
We plan to make resources available such as large banners, A2 and A3 size Correx boards, posters, stickers T-Shirts and other branded items.
We will set up a new Crowdfunder specifically to fund the cost of materials and production. As per our last campaign we will use the company, Edinburgh Banners. The more funds we have the more banners and boards we can produce.
For the avoidance of doubt;-
we have no intention of becoming a separate political party
we are not putting forward candidates
we are NOT affiliated with sovereignty.scot
