Unless it's not being reported in the media, Sturgeon seems to be not doing much about it. Where's the attempt at gathering momentum? Hopefully it happens after October court case.<br />Also, do comments here have to be on topic?

No Westminster Gov of any party will ever grant any of the devolved nations full economic control: it would be unworkable for a start, but the Tries (and increasingly Labour now) are fully dedicated to Mammon, so control of money supply and fiscal and macro-economic policies will never be conceded.Coinneachnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930120922627919768.post-3634325268561367342022-09-01T21:17:54.746+01:002022-09-01T21:17:54.746+01:00Meant to add, personally I'm for full independ...Meant to add, personally I'm for full independence. If a compromise had to be made a confederation is about the best I could swallow. I want Scotland at a table in the UN and in the EU or EFTA or anything that the people of Scotland want. Presently I have this 'iconic' blue passport I have to carry around - I want one with the Saltire not one from 'Her Britannic Majesty'.

A lot of people do not like Duncan - Stuart Campbell being one - but I always found Duncan to be fair and open to serious debate around socialism and also independence. Indeed he allowed independence supporters to write articles promoting it to be published on his site. It's a shame the site has not been updated recently but I believe social media has taken the focus away from blogs. Anyway, this article is really worth a read, please have a look at it:<br /><br />https://www.labourhame.com/federalism-is-not-enough/<br /><br />WTnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930120922627919768.post-38285785781799885092022-09-01T14:05:26.174+01:002022-09-01T14:05:26.174+01:00Indeed - don't see the Brits compromising - La...Indeed - don't see the Brits compromising - Labour enabled devolution through diverse fears.Steviehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18226832161404154663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930120922627919768.post-22253915002026546942022-09-01T13:23:31.314+01:002022-09-01T13:23:31.314+01:00The compromise that accepts a common currency and ...The compromise that accepts a common currency and the Bank of England as our central bank means the UK Treasury are still in charge of spending in Scotland - that's a compromise too too far!!<br /><br />If you are not economically independent, you are tied to Westminster's apron strings - and we know where that leads,George S Gordonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10468576357291004309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930120922627919768.post-40969520423378976042022-09-01T10:58:57.995+01:002022-09-01T10:58:57.995+01:00Anonymous, your naivety is touching.

Far from the madding crowd, he theorised well, somtimes very well but he was too full of self-confidence to be brilliant and now he's blind compromise incarnate.
