Very interesting. Good analysis of the current political climate and food for thought.

Completely agree on all points, facts are all that are needed to combat and win arguments. Name calling and exaggeration just lowers the tone to Nationalists levels.

BREXIT was a mistake, but a democratic one, and 1m Scots including a third of SNP members (including senior politicians) voted for it. Ironically they are true Nationalists. The rest are hypocritical political opportunists crying crocodile tears.

I believe the tide is turning against the SNP as their appalling record in Government can no longer be ignored and hidden by PR spin.

No3 …Sturgeon’s failures … I laughed a bit at this because I know I’ve indulged my frustrations on Twitter by saying some of the things you’ve described about her. I shall endeavour to bite my tongue in future- it won’t be easy.

In today's Herald is an article "What's so bad about Devo Max? Let's put it on an Indyref2 ballot" By Neil Mackay

The headline as bad enough but this part of the first paragraph is ridiculous"

"British nationalists and Scottish nationalists..."

What are British nationalists in relation to Scotland? Nationalism is a cancer and the notion of anyone here (except a tiny minority) being described as a "British Nationalist" is just ludicrous.

Being against Independence is rationalist, not Nationalist.

And Neil Mackay is once again following the Nationalists propaganda by using the term. This is utterly disgraceful.

Yes of course you can. If you're born in or living in Europe then you can call yourself European.
