Fly the flag
JOYCE McMillan suggests there is a "huge intellectual vacuum" that the SNP needs to fill. Not so.
The SNP vision is clear: a Scotland that makes its own decisions on everything from taxes and benefits to going to war, with no nuclear weapons, its own broadcasting system and with strong promotion of Scotland as a new and attractive English-speaking location for business.
Of course these things could only be realised with independence.
