Life of strife

The Scotsman is correct in saying that in Caledonia “there is no merit in Catalonian-style strife” (Editorial, 24 November).

But those “hot-headed independence supporters” like Alan Hinnrichs (Letters, 24 November), who somehow knew within minutes of the Supreme Court’s unanimous judgement what “millions of Scots” think of it, and who views the verdict as an “abomination” and believes that the constitutional approach should end now in favour of disrupting the “illegitimate Westminster cesspit proceedings”, show that such a wish will be difficult to achieve.
