Did We Dodge a Bullet? The Scottish Referendum 5 Years On.

Five years ago yesterday I voted for Scotland to become an independent country – when the result was announced I remember it being a grey and dreary day in Edinburgh – weather that reflected my mood at the time.  I made the mistake of believing what our politicians had said – this would be a ‘once in a generation’ opportunity and so I thought our … Continue reading Did We Dodge a Bullet?
