“Meanwhile, the case for independen­ce grows stronger by the day.” Really? Meanwhile the new Sick Children’s Hospital may have to be pulled down and started again at a mere £150m. Drug deaths are on an exponentia­l increase and there is no sign of alcohol consumptio­n going down, only sales.

Well, it has now come to pass that the populist disease affecting the western world has become endemic in Scotland as we seem to be heading towards responding to the UK shooting itself in the foot over Brexit by shooting ourselves in the head with separation.

The problem is, we’ve had the referendum and you can’t pick and choose the result.

David Thomson As there isn’t going to be another referendum on this issue, these polls are rather pointless.

A tiny poll of 1,019 people and Sturgeon and her failing followers are all excited! Hahahahaha!

Reality Demands To Be Heard
