Tomorrow, the Spectator and six guest speakers (including Kelvin MacKenzie, Sir Malcolm Rifkind and Margo MacDonald) will debate the question, ‘Is it time to let Scotland go?’. You can find more details and information about tickets here. Below, Hamish Macdonell gives his take on the launch of the pro-Union campaign yesterday.
As the pro-Union politicians filed out of Edinburgh’s Napier University yesterday, they passed an Independence Scotland ad-trailer. The lorry with the huge pro-independence poster on the back had been forced to pull over, just outside the campus where the ‘Better Together’ campaign had been launched, it’s progress halted ignominiously by a flat tyre.
Like the ‘Yes Scotland’ campaign itself, the ad trailer promoting the benefits of independence had been put off the road by yesterday’s events — but only temporarily.
