The long inquiry held on the subject, where only cabling was on the agenda, appears to have been tailored to the interests of the power companies alone: the same people who are sapping the lifeblood out of Scots.
I am a long time supporter of the cause for Scottish independence, and will remain so, but this decision, pathetically defended by Jim Mathers on Newsnight Scotland, to cut a gash through the heart of the country, for the benefit of the power moguls, puts my loyalty to the party under great stress.
