Herald on Sunday letters: Independence is not about sovereignty, it is about values and the sort of society I wish to live in Herald on Sunday letters: Independence is not about sovereignty, it is about values and the sort of society I wish to live in MARTIN Redfern (Letters, January 3) claims that “Scottish independence, just like Brexit, is principally about sovereignty”. I beg to differ. For me, it is about values and the sort of society I wish to live in. I spent most of my adult life in England and was what could be described as a traditional Labour voter. Whilst I disagreed with some of the Blair and Brown governments’ actions, they were certainly preferable to the Tory alternative.
