When compulsions take over, the ball gets dropped on the important things!

We saw it in the by-election last week and during the drive for GRR & SelfID.

Being obsessed with something or someone shows a lack of belief in yourself and allows the beliefs of others to supersede your own – a kind of mental hostile takeover!

Farage has taken up permanent residence in Swinney’s head and it has cost him dearly.

But you know what for me was the saddest thing, we saw a Leader who constantly ignored his own members.

When a Leader of a Party or indeed any organization does that, it is the beginning of the end.

The wheels have well and truly fallen off the Independence bus, as far as leadership goes…..but not with the thousands still living the dream.

New Leadership is required and in my humble opinion, and a few others…..this is it!

Time is short, but not too short that we cannot galvanize and make something big happen. It is good to hear people are talking but we need to put feet on those words!

EVERY avenue towards Independence must be explored, not just the favoured one! {now blocked by the way.}

Not to do so would be an act of cowardness!

The road may be long but at least we have a bus on it!!…. and whilst that is moving on, we here in Scotland must make sure the political infrastructure is in place to accommodate the outcome.

That means an overriding number of Independence-minded MPs in Holyrood next year.

Several MSPs are pretending to wear the Independence label in there just now, but their actions differ from the label on their coats….so they must go!!

So let us get ready and do our very own Scottish version of ‘shock and awe’!!
