The cocktail the Tory led government and campaign want us to drink is one part love-bomb to 99 parts fear, smear and contempt. Don’t drink it, the sour aftertaste will stay with you for life. The scare stories of this week are too numerous to rebut one by one, but know this: they were part of an ongoing, concerted campaign to throw fear, uncertainty and doubt into the hearts of the voters in Scotland. They range from the invented to the exaggerated to the simple lie. Choose No and we await an election next May to decide who will govern us for another five years. The latest ICM poll has the Conservatives in the lead and 49% backing the Tories or Ukip. Think about it. Even if Ed Miliband sneaks a win, would you trust him to govern us better than our own government here? Really? That truth has been our reality for decades. It is time for us to grow. We have what it takes, my friend, in bucketloads. Our economic, environmental and political starting points are better than any new country enjoyed before us. We have more resource, information and experience than any of those 142 countries that made this choice positively since the war. We also have much of the machinery of government already in place. We have what it takes if we will only choose to. This is our moment. Join with me in rejecting fear, embracing hope and putting our shoulders to the wheel to make ourselves and our country all it can be. We can do this. For the sake of ourselves and the generations to follow, we must. Andrew Wilson scotsman/news/andrew-wilson-no-voters-reflect-on-project-fear-1-3541040#.VBVvMXPyVM0.twitter
