You see it here, there are some people who are just so against the SNP that if they said the sky was blue they would argue against it.
Get a group together like common Weal and other like minded people who can make a case for independence that isn't branded as snp.
The common weal are politicians though, they just haven’t been elected. There is plenty I could disagree with that the common weal put forward as well. This is very much a political issue and anyone campaigning for either side is a politician.

A lot of correct abuse when the tories announced the plan last year.
It’s a terrible idea which the SNP don’t like but they have to do what is right for Scotland within the current set up. Freeport’s are a UK govt idea. There would be no point in saying we don’t want them when it’s UK tax that is being avoided. That would put Scotland at a disadvantage. So the SNP is making do the best they can with a bad idea designed to help rich people avoid tax.
Greens are correct to oppose. The SNP don’t have that luxury and need to make sure Scottish business is not put at a disadvantage to England.

As a ps, I thought you were all for slashing corporation tax like Ireland, aren't you a fan of this
I’m not in favour of slashing anything, just in favour of making decisions ourselves. We could just as easily follow danish model as Irish model. In fact I think it’s more likely.
It’s well documented the SNP don’t like Freeport’s. The fact is, the UK govt is cutting tax and you think the SNP can say we don’t want that for Scotland because of our principles? They just can’t do it, especially when not doing it would not benefit the public purse in Scotland one bit.
The UK govt was putting a freeport in the north east that could have drawn business out of Scotland and left the SNP accused of failing Scottish business.
There is plenty of evidence of SNP opposition to this policy online if you care enough.

It's all smoke and mirrors. The other freeports aren't creating huge business but are getting away with murky deals and standards. Horrible decision to have them in our nation, they should be fought against
Good article on them

I’m not disagreeing. It’s a terrible idea. They only really move business around inside the country. The SNP were in a difficult position though. They do not want to see Scottish jobs moving south. And that’s what would have happened. It’s mitigation for a bad idea. Something the SG have to do a lot of.
