Sticking to the Labour Party theme of conversation, I recently listened to the Labour MP for Norwich South, Clive Lewis, when he said to his bbc interviewer re Scotindy, "It now seems increasingly clear the Scottish people have two clear choices before them: 1. Union with a declining imperial power, ruled by hard-right, neoliberal English nationalists or 2. Vote for Scottish independence and look to rejoin the EU, an emerging power with democratic institutions gaining in power, not receding".
I respect the fact there are differences of opinion on the EU within the indy movement, but that general message is valuable. The potential of his statement to influence the minds of the "undecided" and "soft no" voters is IMO massive. The fact it was made by an English Labour politician increases that potential and the outraged response from the Britnat press and Unionist politicians like Ian Murray increases that potential even more. It's a gift - IMO LETS PUT IT ON VARIOUS BILLBOARDS DISPLAYED ACROSS THE COUNTRY or post informative leaflets to citizens throughout Scotland.
