Letters: Asians called to Scottish fight
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: In the absence of fair coverage by the broadcast media of the recent Scottish National Party conference in Inverness it is perhaps understandable that Gurcharan Singh should ask questions such as, "Where do black Scots fit in with Scottish Nationalism?" (letter, 23 October).
The SNP is a multiracial party which welcomes all regardless of ethnic background. The SNP has created the affiliated organisation, Scots Asians for Independence, a member of which, Hauyan Hanif, is the SNP parliamentary candidate for Glasgow Shettleston. Similarly the organisation New Scots for Independence has many English-born members as well as those from Europe and further afield.
In fact the SNP, with its policy of independence in Europe is attacking the narrow English/British nationalism currently espoused by the Labour and Conservative parties - "flag-waving" and "Little Englanders more isolated than ever" as one official close to the German Chancellor put it this week.
