First reactions to #whitepaper on independence and three initial questions from me
For months, years, even, whenever we’ve asked questions about independence, after we’ve been accused of scaremongering, we’ve been told to wait for the White Paper. Well, that wait is over as the White Paper has now been published – or is … Continue reading
Do you agree that the SNP should do what the Electoral Commission says?
See what I did there? That headline is a bit of a leading question. It certainly isn’t, in my view at least, neutral. It invites the reader to answer “Yes.” Had I said “Should the SNP do what the Electoral … Continue reading
Good to see free NHS 111 number promoted

Secretive SNP’s double standards on legal advice
It won’t be long before some nationalist comes along and accuses me of smearing the SNP. That’s what tends to happen when you disagree with them or point out that they may be guilty of saying one thing and doing … Continue reading
Alex Salmond booed, twice, but why don’t we hear so much about it?
Yesterday, my wonderful niece Laura and her boyfriend John celebrated her 20th birthday by heading into Glasgow to see Scottish Olympians and Paralympians parade through the city. They had a great time, and were bursting with pride to see the … Continue reading
Wee Nippy? How very dare you, Alan Cochrane?
It’s been a few hours now since I first saw the headline in Alan Cochrane’s column in the Telegraph today. “Wee Nippy’s role may signal big changes in strategy”. I wondered who Wee Nippy was. Could it be some cartoon … Continue reading
