You made the case, which was the point I agreed with. You then made your comments about Tories which seemed to me to be made in defence of the SNP. My apologies, I did not think that you had agreed with me that the SNP had failed Bifab.
I am not obsessed by the possibility of an independence referendum however I do not see any real progress from the 2014 discussions apart from the removal of the Scottish banks no longer posing a difficulty because they are now English headquartered and will be regulated by Westminster.
As I have said before I feel that ordinary working people have been let down by all politicians and those who are employed in the civil service. I am sure they think they are working hard and trying to do their best, I think they need to review what has happened to our economy and change their approach dramatically. Independence is not the answer IMO but I might be persuaded if there was an economic plan that I could believe.
