I see the logic of that, but hark back to Salmond’s view, probably when he was still in opposition, that devolution had to be seen to be working the people before independence could be floated seriously.

It is to a certain extent in that research has shown that it’s the level of government that most people look to first to lead and protect them.

In reality, it’s stalled, with the big-ticket items no further forward (with several mitigating external reasons) than they were 25 years ago.

I think the people that have the ability to visualise and then get the socket set out to make the changes, even within the 1999 Act’s strictures, give political office a bodyswerve, as they realise that radical action would be too much for a canny Parliament and a docile electorate.

I remain disenfranchised, and have come to terms with the fact that I’m going to have to live with it.

I cannot disagree that the calibre of MSPs is somewhat lacking.

However, the UK government is trying everything to show that independence couldn't work and makes sure that any Scottish-made policy is "underwritten" by Tory-style funding.
Pocket money can only go so far and isn't helped by politicians who lack the nous to do their job.

I see that Mrs Krankie has denied the conspiracy theory that she has or had a French girlfriend. She would have been better saying nothing about it.

It's only ever you that gives it any credence, and any normal person, "Krankie" supporter or not, can see it's just bollox.

Move along. Start finding nothing to pin on the new boy.

I never really believed it, but she is daft to comment on it. Just gives it more legs.

News flash saying that Murrell (husband) is in police custody “in connection with an investigation into SNP finances”.

Innocent until tried and found guilty, of course.

Without prejudice etc

You have to wonder what has come to light that brought today's turn of events.

Sounds like someone has provided evidence of some sort to the Police.

I'd like to say they never arrest without good reason, but I know that not to be the case.

Not sure the tent is necessary. Can’t imagine they would ever pitch one up in Johnson’s garden

Has he been loitering?

We were just saying exactly the same in the office. Of course this time it's an evidence tent rather than a forensic one.

Makes a better photograph regardless.

It’s interesting that everyone in the uk can picture what Sturgeon & Corbyns front door looks like.
