Keeping up appearances

Sir, – For a few weeks now there have been some screaming for a repeat of Indyref 2014, denying the 62% that voted no their democratic voice.

Now, still within the Covid crisis, we are in a very precarious position.

Business is starting up, but many are closed forever.

Without this massive financial support from Westminster Scotland would not have been able to get through the Covid19 crisis in the first place.
