We may fool ourselves
in Scotland that we are living in a democracy but we need only observe the
world around us to understand that there is a great danger that soon this will
no longer be true. It was just about alright under Alex Salmond who was
reasonably benign in his immediate actions, if less so in his longer-term
nationalistic ambitions. However his dictatorial side manifested itself
particularly in his foolish and uninformed pursuit of alternative energy, covering
our countryside in windmills regardless of the cost or the consequences. |
