Scottish Independence and Me

I would probably say that I am a Unionist, but I would also say that as someone who sees, and would describe themselves as British, that Scottish Independence is a choice for the People of Scotland – not me. I live here, and I am entitled to vote here, but …

Nicola Sturgeon: “Scotland being forced out of the EU against our will”

With the UK Election Day fast approaching, I have just caught the BBC News which has provided a quick overview of what all of the leaders are up to today. Delivering Key Messages, totting up hundreds of miles travelling and no doubt adding to climate change at the same time. …

Nicola Sturgeon on BBC Andrew Neil Interviews

I seems to me that Nicola Sturgeon likes to see herself as a “bit different” as a politician. One that is honest and clear and doesn’t mind coming clean when a mistake has been made. I am not entirely sure I would agree after watching the Andrew Neil Interview with …

Who ever promised a Once in a Generation Referendum?

Nicola Sturgeon on BBC Question Time Leaders Special

I thought Nicola Sturgeon came out reasonably well on last night’s BBC Question Time Leaders Special. She was calm, well spoken and clear. I have always said that I really do like her as a Politician (as far as anyone can like a Politician) I simply could not ever agree …
