DEADLY WarningI don’t live in Scotland. I don’t have a vote in the
referendum. !
I am using the referendum as a way in to talk about change in organisations.
!I am not - not - advocating voting either way.
It’s for Scotland to decide.

Subsidiarity!!
The principle of power operating
at the lowest possible
level.
Systems Thinking!!
Left to themselves, components become selfish, competitive. We cannot afford the
destructive effect. A system must be
managed. !

educating people, whereas the secret
of tyranny is in keeping them

A very civilly broken egg by one person can be spun as howling violent mobs.

Nationalists themselves no longer pretend that the Yes campaign is
their property.
People, especially Labour people, insist
noisily that their choice of independence has
nothing to do with nationalism. This is
fundamental. Ian Bell,
