Two Other Views
Yesterday’s blog was one response to “An Historic Day” but I have come across two others from regular cyberauthors whose opinions I generally value. I therefore have no hesitation in recommending the both of them for further reading on the … Continue reading
The Start of Ane New Sang
The Edinburgh Agreement, signed today by Alex Salmond and Nicola Sturgeon on the one hand and David Cameron and Michael Moore on the other signals the end of jostling for position of the hows and wheres of process for a … Continue reading
Oily Evasion
