@ILikeDuggee @Jeggit Twitter has become a very toxic environment, have no doubt that a lot of profiles were merely there to stir it. Hopefully we can all self moderate a bit betterband scroll past the awkward situations rather the turn them into spats.

By all means, call out someone if they're wrong but the pile ons achieved nothing.

On independence: I grew up in the thatcher era no apprenticeships in my area ( I had to move ) dad out of work huge dole queues , hope villages out of work , yop schemes to mask actual unemployment numbers , places in Scotland that would qualify for third world grants and we produce oil . Let’s give our kids a great future let’s give Scotland the future it’s history commands .
