I am not one to wish death, or even harm, on anyone (exceptions, if I’d been alive at the time, being Stalin, Hitler and Franco etc., with, later, the likes of Pol Pot) but I am starting to reconsider this view in relation to Donald Trump. This man is not just a moron, he is, in my view, a dangerous moron and a cretin.

An independent Scottish government would have had it’s own resources and reserves to fight this battle and not need financial support from the UK treasury. Indeed, without having to pay for the support of nuclear weapons, an independent Scottish government might well have had mor...
