SMEDDUM. A fine old Scots word but, sadly, not much evidence of it being a fine contemporary virtue in Scotland right now.

The indy army wish fervently for a bit more of it being visible in the electorate. The Unionist army wish fervently that they’d shut up and address folks’ real ­concerns.

And, already, many months before the ballot boxes are summonsed, it’s been made clear that Mr Brown’s vision has slipped off Sir Keir’s priority to do list. This is not much of a shock to the Scots body politic. Fool me once, and all that. Meanwhile, those bean counters at the Treasury in London have run up £2.5 ­trillion of national debt – more than 100% of the UK’s GDP. Yet we are ­constantly labelled whingeing Jocks; ­ingrates who don’t thank the Chancellor for his ­largesse.

A five-part series on the “Troubles”, Once Upon A Time In Northern Ireland, is an utterly fascinating take on Northern Ireland’s seemingly entrenched divisions. And there is no way any sensible Scot would advocate a constitutional course involving violence and innocent deaths. Nor would they want to replicate the civil war.

And then we have the thoughts of ­Professor Robert McCorquodale, who has concluded that the Supreme Court got it wrong in their judgment over Scottish self-determination. Now given that he was commissioned by Neale Hanvey of Alba you might suppose that his conclusions were unlikely to be unfavourable to that party.
