War and peace are UK matters and I believe they can only be effectively campaigned for on UK levels.
Although I broadly support the UK holding nuclear weapons, I am largely against militarism in this country or the participation in foreign wars without active support from the local population.
Unfortunately as I, and many other non-Marxist/Nationalist/Anarchist sorts have realised, we would not be welcome at such events or within such organisations. |

Rubbish. Politically they are UK matters, yes. As far as campaigning goes, they can be campaigned on at any level. That means at street, town, country or empire(  ) level. If these people feel the get a better response by organising on a Scottish level, then that is what they should do.

That's very unfortunate if you feel like that. I'm sure that the vast majority of folk involved with these types of organisations would welcome you. I never thought you were the type to let the vocal minority keep you away! |
