Although I decided after the Scottish referendum not to get involved in the politics threads again, I have read some (and only some - I am 65 and have limited time left) of this thread, and would like to put in my tuppence-worth. I do not recognise the "divisive" nature of the Scottish referendum referred to by some - I voted in a different way from some of my friends and we discussed things and agreed amicably to differ. We are still friends. The SNP is a political party among others and can be blamed for some things but not, as some of you seem to think, for everything from the Rape Clause to Armageddon by way of Boris Johnston.
nigglynellie, you may hate the SNP, and you are entitled to do so, but can I just point out that MSPs sit in Holyrood, not Westminster, as does Nicola Sturgeon. As FarNorth points out, the SNP MPs were duly elected to serve in Westminster and are as entitled to say their piece as anyone else there.
Finally, well done as always to Granny 23 who is a star at explaining Scottish politics in a way that is easy to understand!
