Seems you are not very interest in that from your posts; too focused on 'day job' domestic political squabbles.<br /><br />And why did Aberdein not ask for any meetings between him and Sturgeon to be minuted? Because they were private party business at the request of Salmond maybe?<br /><br />Either Aberdein was up to no good and didn't want that recorded, or he was just honestly meeting Sturgeon on private business. Must be one of the two.Scottish Skierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10584099659760612109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930120922627919768.post-1742137504479148772021-01-21T06:14:34.615+00:002021-01-21T06:14:34.615+00:00Apologies,

I have no idea who Geoff Aberdein is. Perhaps you could link us to some sort of samizdat copy?<br /><br />These seem to me to be diversionary tactics which do not further the basic idea that we would be better off free. For some, it appears to be about their own position in a new hierarchy. Frankly they are getting the cart in front of the horse. Without independence thay will remain marginalised for ever more.<br /><br />After independence, as a front right and centre achievable objective, we can, as a nation, determine what we want to do next.<br /><br />I might embrace SNP policy or I may not. In a free, post independence, election, I'd probably vote Green. Meantime, until we have that freedom to vote on issues like that without the existential threat to our very existence it behoves you - at least in my opinion - to give your vote to the most likely method of gaining our liberty. Which is either the SNP or the Greens. IMVHO, YMMV.<br /> <br /><br />That, it seems to me, is the question. All else is politics 101. My point? That sometimes an issue transcends political squabbling.<br /><br />I am utterly unimpressed with the groupiscules that have arisen from the mud and have tried to benefit, politically, with the possibility that they will fracture an independence vote.<br /><br />Basically, you have an incredibly popular government that pushes for Independence for Scotland, with majority support from the electorate, which you also apparently want. But you see flaws?<br /><br /><br /><br />Are you a Trojan Horse?douglas clarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08543112633542445680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930120922627919768.post-54266017365953254312021-01-21T03:49:30.836+00:002021-01-21T03:49:30.836+00:00The Inquiry into the FM, Scotgov and Special Advis...The Inquiry into the FM, Scotgov and Special Advisers have announced that they have had a submission from Geoff Aberdein since October and will not publish it. Just who does that benefit I wonder. Shameful. <br /><br />The truth does not seem to matter to a lot of people in Scotland. It did not matter to Trump either.
