McLeish should step off the fence
No-one seriously disagrees that Scotland can be an independent nation. We have the assets – natural and human – to aspire to the quality of life of the Scandinavian countries Mr McLeish admires so much. He is correct, mind you, to opine that a narrow Yes defeat will mean that independence will remain on the agenda and is, indeed, inevitable.
Henry is becoming tiresome. Until he comes off the fence and decides to “put up” by urging disillusioned Labour supporters – like him, ashamed that “the party of Keir Hardie and Jimmy Reid” has betrayed real home rule – to strive for a socially just society in an independent Scotland, he should consider the alternative for a wee while.
