Ilona, who is originally Dutch,  has always had a soft spot

for Scotland and came there on Holidays since 1997.

In 2008, when she got a golden handshake from a former

employer she decided to take the plunge and emigrate to

this beautiful country.

 

 

 

                                                                                                      Even before she emigrated she                                                                                                         followed the news about                                                                                                                     Scotland via diverse media                                                                                                                 outlets. Once she arrived in                                                                                                               Scotland she saw what was                                                                                                               really happening and started actively supporting the quest for independence.

She became an active SNP member.

It was not for long she realized how biased the press in

the UK really is and the blatant lies published by the BBC.

This is not strange as they are firmly in the clutches of

Westminster and their managers are old school mates.

 That is when she stopped watching the BBC all together.

When she saw the "Netherlands for Scottish Independence"

page on facebook, she decided to ask if she could join and

help organize this event.
