A Ray of Sunshine



So, I haven't posted on here for a while.

Sorry.

I'll confess its because I have been getting a bit down and depressed by the poor quality of the debate from both sides of the independence divide. Bickering over the smallest issues, down to the price of a stamp, trying to personalise the arguments with 'Calmangate' and the side-show japes of Nigel Farage's trip to Edinburgh have all made depressing reading over the last few weeks.

However, yesterday I read something which put a bit of a spring back into my step, and which I recommend to all.



Coming hard on the heels of Ed Miliband's speech in which he offered to out-Tory the Tories on austerity and social security, it really brought home to me that what's on offer here is not only the chance for us to walk a different path, but to even have the chance of any choice at all, rather than the practically identical neoliberal options being offered at Westminster.

Now we just have to take it!
