Support Scottish independence and vote Yes. There are clear economic and social benefits to having an independent Scotland. Believe in yourself Scotland! Go for it! You have strong support from the people of Brittany as pointed out in this feature from the Breton website 7SEIZH. We are with you!

This weekend has seen a massive turn out by supporters of the Yes to independence campaign. It will see 473 registered street stalls, the distribution of 2.6 million leaflets and nearly 36,000 volunteers working in all parts of Scotland. The message will be clearly focused on the positive opportunities that an independent Scotland will present to its people. 

The unique Peel P50, designed and built on the Isle of Man, celebrated its 50th birthday recently with a get-together of owners and vehicles for a number of special events.

Owners of some of the surviving vehicles, including not only the P50 but the Trident and Viking Sport, made by Peel Engineering, (with Cyril Cannell as Managing Director), gathered in the town of Peel for this singular occasion.

As reported by the Catalan News Agency a mass demonstration has taken place in Barcelona calling for the right to vote on independence for Catalonia. With less than a week to go until Scotland's referendum on independence Catalan's demonstrated today in their hundreds of thousands to demand that their own referendum is recognised by the Spanish government.

Poor Scotland has just had to endure the patronising presence of the English leaders of the three largest parties in the UK parliament. David Cameron (Conservative) Ed Miliband (Labour) and Nick Clegg (Liberal Democrat). Even within England these three men are viewed with scorn and derision. In a panic response after opinion polls showed increasing support for an independent Scotland, these representatives of the British establishment managed to find Scotland on the map and travel north. 'Too little too late' is the response of most Scottish voters to their visit.

The Welsh campaign group supporting Scottish independence Ewch Amdani Alba - Go For It Scotland is holding a rally on Saturday 13th September. It will be held at 2pm outside the Senedd in Cardiff. Ewch Amdani Alba!

Celtic League News - Manx Chief Minister Asked Priorities

This week world leaders come together with the United Nations (UN) and civil society organisations in Samoa to articulate small island priorities for the next 20 years.

The always excellent “The Daily Wales” website is reporting under the headline “Appeal to UFEA over Sky decision to abolish Welsh language commentary” that a major  network is to scrap some of its Welsh language programming.

The global network Sky Sports has announced it will no longer offer Welsh language commentary during the broadcast of Wales football internationals.  This in turn has earned the condemnation of the Welsh Language Society (Cymdeithas Yr Laith).
