This should be on the front page of every newspaper. Israel buries a young man under concrete from Gaza. Trying to erase his very existence. Anyone who continues to defend this state has lost every modicum of morality.

It is now 10 days since Peter Murrell pled guilty. Everyday since then, BBC Scotland News has had it as their lead story. In their minds, this tactic is calculated to do the maximum damage they can to the SNP and the independence cause in general. ‘Impartial’ my arse !

The basic lesson that the anti-independence parties and press will not and cannot learn is that slinging mud at the SNP will not make the electorate look upon a Labour party which lied and cheated its way into power and a UK driving headlong into fascism and go - Yes, I'll support that instead.

The worst possible way to honour the memory of Henry Nowak, victim of a horrible murder and a grave misjudgement by the police, is to do what Nigel Farage appears to want: turn it into an excuse for racial conflict.
