@CameronMcNeish @scotgov Grouse shooting has huge symbolic importance for them: it's a ceremony of social exclusion and ecological destruction that embodies their power over us and our hills. They don't want to need our permission for that.

Did @HumzaYousaf not *cause* this byelection by expelling the previous MP from his party and then backing a recall petition? If so he continues to be astonishingly bad at the one thing he has spent his entire life studying and doing, which is politics.

Edinburgh is heading in the other direction, emptying the city centre into shoddy new builds in Fife and Midlothian. Ours could be a bustling, real city if we wanted it to be.

This event looks to me like the materialisation of a schism between the independence industry and the independence movement. The 'industry' being those who make a living talking about independence, the 'movement' those who actively seek it.

Why tomorrow’s rally is so important in the push for independence

TOMORROW’S Believe in Scotland and Yes For EU rally will be an important step in the movement for a fairer, greener and better Scotland in Europe.

The Scottish parliament has, of late, taken to legislating in delicate areas with a quite astonishing lack of care for detail and contrary opinions. I simply don't believe that they can legislate here without making a mess of it.
