A few years ago Michael Gove commissioned a survey regarding Scottish Independence using taxpayers’ money, then refused to publish the findings, even ignoring a court order to do so…now we know why.

If this is true and can be verified, the game is up for Westminster and also for the SNP government.

The evidence at the UN is stacking up, and as I said, if this can be verified, these findings will add to it.

Two Qs arise from this, did honest John know about this and how is he going to respond if he didn’t? The excuse of the SNP has always been that the numbers need to rise! Well, I think it’s pretty clear, they have!

You could say Nicola has done them a favour with her pincer movement. There now exists an opportunity to make a clear break from the past and take a bold step forward. It will however demand a little humility, but heres the thing, only great leaders do ‘humility’! Has he got it within him to be one?

At the moment, all we are seeing is infighting, but as I have said before, one clear bold decision can change the destiny of a man, a party and ultimately a country, at any given moment.

Will he grasp the nettle?

Or is the lure of English gold just too much to refuse? How much longer can they deny themselves a robe of ermine? I can think of a couple who are frothing at the mouth at the thought!!

The wind is blowing fair for Scotland just now, we just need to learn to fly with it.

We tend to forget that the walls we build, don’t just keep others out…they also keep us in!

It’s time to shake hands and move on!
