Consider this thought that occurred to me in the shower.

Killer question
I often wonder if those lauding Ash Regan's proposal have even read the document. Or read it with an open mind. Read it without have already decided what it all means and therefore taking from it exactly that meaning regardless of what is actually written in the document.
The squawking of cuckoos
While I initially put the missed opportunity down to a failure to recognise it, I very soon realised that it wasn't just another instance of the dearth of strategic thinking within the SNP leadership.
POWER IS NEVER GIVEN! POWER IS ONLY TAKEN!
I've had a lot of time to think about this. And the biggest possible incentive to think well. I have been through every phase of the fight to restore Scotland's independence since 1960, or thereabouts. I've seen all the campaigns. I've read all the proposals. I've chanted all the slogans and waved all the placards. It has taken me 60+ years to realise that all of that was merely a preamble to #ScottishUDI.
Tales of the inexplicable
Notwithstanding the threat to my own rationality that comes from trying to explain how the SNP/Green Scottish Government can be so oblivious to the insanity of its behaviour, I have a theory. Not a full explanation, by any means. But a hypothesis that might make this behaviour slightly less inexplicable.
We are betrayed!
Given the chance to choose between the people of Scotland and the British state, the Scottish Government has opted to renounce the former and prostrate itself before the latter.
Triangle of madness
The best Yes bloggers are those who combine evident passion for Scotland's cause with a dispassionate approach to the facts and their analysis of them.
Plus ça change…
Is anybody in the upper echelons of the SNP even capable of conceiving of Scotland's cause as a national liberation movement? Are any of Scotland's politicians able to think of the independence movement as a fight to end a pollical union which makes Scotland indistinguishable from a colony of England-as-Britain?
Battle order
Let's use our imagination and pretend that we, the people, have used our votes wisely over the past few elections and shaped our government according to our needs, priorities and aspirations. What might such a governing party be talking about at its annual conference?
Who is most wrong?
I still can't decide which of the three is most wrong. What do you think, dear reader?
