The Scots Independent Newspaper Online - The Flag in the Wind
This is a worth while website to visit. This last wee while of manoevre and jiggling with very little about what is best for Scotland, but a great deal about what is best for inflated egos, needs this step back and looked at from afar.
It is not exactly a new newspaper either having been around as long as the Scottish National Party, although the website is a recent addition.
Another thing to keep feet on the ground is 'Blether with Brian' on the BBC Scotland website under Scottish Politics

The Scottish Unionist Gang v Democracy for Self Determination
So they've ganged up have they?
Claiming that the Scottish Executive do not have the 'mandate' for bringing forward a White Paper for debate on the future of the country.
They claim that the nation do not support Independence, but why are they scared to let the issue be debated? If they are so confident that this is the case, why attempt to stifle debate?
We've just had an election and it was not a referendum on Independence, but in case the Unionist gang have forgotten, the SNP won the most seats. Now they are wheeling out all the tired old rejected politicians, apparently spouting the same rejected twaddle as before. To attempt to stifle debate, or even try to define boundaries over which 'thou shalt not pass' is dangerous territory. This smacks of patronising arrogance as if people are unable to think for themselves.
Why are they afraid of the Scottish people being allowed to openly express their views?
Why?
And they say that they have done this after consulting London! Talk about a red rag to a bull!
Why?
