Dangled dreams

The independence carrot has been dangled in front of the independence -seeking electorate for six years now, since the day after the last referendum.

Now we learn that at the Court of Session in Edinburgh during legal arguments, SNP Ministers and the Lord Advocate revealed that “no vote is imminent”. Last month, the First Minister was adamant that she was committed to Scottish independence.

I wonder if Nicola Sturgeon’s supporters are contemplating that, as she dangles the carrot in front of them time and time again, she might just see them as donkeys.
