29 Jun 2022 at 5:00am
SO the First Minister has made a significant, measured announcement which chimes with the majority view of the citizens of our nation and indeed reflects the mandate upon which she and her Government were re-elected (again). It would be disingenuous to suggest otherwise.

THE coastal village of Elie is a seaside idyll: pretty cottages looking out to the Firth of Forth, and elegant back streets, washed by the salty air.

So we now know, if it was ever in doubt, that the Scottish Government is not remotely serious about holding an independence referendum in 2023.

27 Jun 2022 at 8:21pm
In the Middle Ages, and right up until 1714, it was believed that ills could be cured by a king or queen laying their hands on an afflicted individual.

British nationalism: making a mockery of Scottish democracy
26 Jun 2022 at 10:10pm
The anti-independence parties and their friends in the media are convinced that the British Government has “blocked off all legal routes to indyref2 next year,” according to a headline in the increasingly British nationalist Herald newspaper on Sunday. The actual article was more nuanced, Professor Ciaran Martin, the man responsible for the quote, which the …
Being the media that we need
22 Jun 2022 at 4:32pm
The veteran BBC presenter Andrew Marr has spoken out against Scottish independence, claiming that it would be “rotten” for ordinary working people and would cause an “angry, rancorous” separation from the rest of the UK.

That?s what democracy is all about
16 Jun 2022 at 7:02pm
For the anti-independence parties it’s 2011 all over again. When then First Minister Alex Salmond announced the Scottish Government’s intention to hold an independence referendum following the SNP victory in the 2011 Scottish Parliament election, the Conservatives and Labour immediately denounced it. Westminster would never allow a referendum, we were told, and in any case …
Gruesome for Stephen Kerr
15 Jun 2022 at 9:08pm
Scottish Tory MSP Stephen Kerr has claimed that the 2014 independence referendum campaign was “gruesome” and that the next referendum is going to be even worse.
