Apart from drugs deaths and nautical construction which are “taking the eye off the ball”.

I said previously that post-1999, the Scottish people have got used to looking to Holyrood for governance and leadership. It’s not a pretty picture, and I have every right to point out that both governments are filled with feckless, spin-addicted shysters and chatlatans who like the lifestyle but not the toil required. The fact that we now freely admit that we have ‘a political class’ should be like a mega-megawatt klaxon ringing in every lug.

I remain disenfranchised.
For me and many others our only chance to make things better for Scotland is to split from the union. There is no other alternative.

I'm not expecting a land of milk and honey or even a "poof's paradise". Just something that little less shi t stained than what's currently on offer.

We can call the SNP this, that or the other. The alternative, for me at least, isn't even worth thinking about.

I became disenfranchised a long time ago and the only thing that still makes me cross the box on the ballot paper is the hope of an independent Scotland.

From that point we determine the sort of country we want to live in and I would be looking to Europe to model that on, rather than anything over the wrong side on Hadrian's Wall.
