Letters to the press, 12/07/22: “Can we now add the gift of precognition to Keith Brown, depute leader of the SNP’s, talents?

If he is not blessed with these powers, did he ascend to Arthur’s Seat when the moon is waning crescent to speak with a shawl-clad crone to gain this insight?”

Letters to the press, 01/04/22: “Before 2014 I was largely comfortable in my identity; I was Scottish and British. In 2014 it was open to attack for the first time. The SNP has used every election, local and national, to campaign for another referendum where not only your political views are questioned, but your sense of identity as well.”
