SNP, Indy and La La Land

Alex Massie's is scathing about the state of the SNP - and rightly so.

"Consequently, no significant attempt has been made to understand or interrogate the reasons why Yes lost. As such, a decade later the SNP has made no progress on essential questions such as currency, the border and fiscal reality. It isn’t fit to fight another referendum even if one were to happen.

Remember this is against the law in the U.K. I don't want the Men in Blue knocking at the door because someone said that Foodimum told them it was okay to catch and eat seagulls. It isn't... P

What a complete hoot - these hypocrites have no shame! Peter Murrell  @PeterMurrell "Anonymous political donations supposed to be a thing of the past. Yet Scottish Tories pocketed £319,000 from secretive trust with no fixed address or known current trustees. @Conservatives legally responsible for checking true identity of donors before accepting cash. #DarkMoney "
