Scotland Free ... by 2017.


So, Mr Smith reads that the latest SNP target for Scotland achieving Independence is now 2017. It makes one of the previous targets of "Scotland Free by 1993" as once espoused by SNP MSP Alex Neil look positively ambitious by comparison, given that the new target means it could be ten years before we achieve the Nationalistic shibboleth.

Welcome to the "new politics." Why do something in a few years when you could take a decade, but it makes Mr Smith wonder how these comments sit with the SNP Government's pledge to have a referendum on independence within the current session of the Scottish Parliament: it clearly doesn't.
