    Ten years since I voted for Scottish Independence. Mulling it over this morning in sunny Dundee, things have changed. But my core motivations for wanting Scotland to be a small, independent European nation remain the same

    Jesus Christ. In Scotland people have been marching, organising, fundraising, pleading for peace The SNP brought a ceasefire call today, reflecting the passion felt in Scotland Yet Westminster failed to deliver it, collapsing into disarray and politicking. This helps no one.
