Red-hot radicals
All the trimmings of high taxes, abolition of the monarchy, nationalisation of the oil industry and whatever else, economic alliance with left-wing South American regimes, an end to Trident in Scotland and the Nato alliance, all spell out the grim revival of a Soviet republic here in Scotland.
While Alex Salmond will try to obscure this frightening vision raised by the Radical Independents by riffling through the 670 pages of his Scottish Fantasia tomorrow, the hard facts of future policy for a separate Scotland will come from the venomous radical element at Saturday’s meeting and they make frightening reading for the millions of canny Scots who fear for a future of this kind.
