Still trying, very trying. Best known for being ignored on Twitter. Sometimes sarky.

Laurie Macfarlane@L__Macfarlane·
Edinburgh now has the highest GDP per capita of any UK city. Since 2008 Scotland’s productivity growth has been double that of the UK. You should try visiting here more often @afneil rather than writing specious drivel from France.

Andrew Neil: ‘Scotland is rudderless, increasingly shabby, living on memories of past glories while its cities and towns are gripped with an urban squalor unrivalled anywhere else in Western Europe’. Read more in today’s @MailOnlineScot 👇

@craigymeighan This is a complete lie - there is no voluntary union - it’s not a golf club membership that can be cancelled if you don’t like the Conmittee. The fact is the Act of Union meant Scotkand and England ceased to be nation states and irrevocably became one nation - Great Britain.

John Swinney: 'All my political lifetime it's been accepted that this is a voluntary union in which people in Scotland are entitled to decide if they remain within it. Now we are hearing a rhetoric that actually there are almost no circumstances in which that can happen.'

@ScotNational Breaking up a nation state is unsurprisingly not something that’s devolved. It’s up to that nation state. If you are in doubt as to what a nation state is Pointless describes it aa a member of the UN in its own right.

@JamesMelville What substances are you on. 19% of the electorate voted SNP. If you did get another referendum and lost is that it done with.? If you won is that 1-1 and we do it again? There’s no updated economic case for independence because there is no case.

I am a firm believer in direct democracy. The people rather than the politicians should have the final say. Based on the Scottish election results, Scotland should have a second independence referendum. Let the people decide. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

@moneillsf We don’t need any assistance from Irish republicans who want to “unite” their island & draw boundaries on ours.

Michelle O’Neill@moneillsf·
Mary Lou McDonald and I have spoken today with SNP leader John Swinney and Plaid Cymru leader Rhun ap Iorwerth. The momentum for constitutional change across these islands is now greater than ever. People in Ireland, Scotland and Wales are looking towards a future beyond the Union, where we have full control over our own affairs. We discussed the enormous significance of this week’s election results, and the historic potential of having three nationalist, pro-independence First Ministers. We agreed to continue working together to strengthen the friendship between our nations, and to stand up for the democratic right of our people to self-determination.

@mstewart_23 Having a vote on it at all was an enormous concession that no other state would have considered. France? Germany? Italy? Spain ? USA? Canada ? No chance. We had the vote & the result should be honoured -just as you would have expected if your side of the argument won.

Bernard Ponsonby has absolutely nailed the Independence Referendum question. Does the current legal veto of Westminster sit with the notion of democracy? We all know the answer to that rhetorical question.

@ScotNational England is the coloniser of Scotland. Scotland has nothing to ask the English colonial state and must go to the UN and get support from the international community. A state is recognised by its peers not by the coloniser plundering it.

@ScotNational As daft as me making a video about how voters in the Catskills should behave. If he moves all of his assets to Scotland & has a stake in this game I’ll hear him out otherwise it’s just propaganda without personal consequences.

Hollywood superstar Alan Cumming wants an independence supermajority - but he says if it's to work, Green voters need to back the SNP on the constituency vote. 'Please don't undermine the chance of an SNP majority,' he says in the new video What do you make of the call?

There are simply no good counter arguments to a £15 minimum wage. Only wealthy, economically illiterate charlatans want you to believe otherwise. And they are terrified. ft.com/content/431a16…

Watching the Labour front bench's attempt to restrict trial by jury makes me wonder whether Keir Starmer and David Lammy understand England at all. They are smashing up the fundamental freedoms of this country as if they were foreign invaders

@GCAJoeA Of course your custom is welcomed & appreciated - it’s great that so many visitors enjoy their time playing here. I suppose my point is local clubs need to get the balance right to make golf accessible for people in their areas as well as provide a memorable visitor experience

Can tell you my club here in Cleveland would accept your application as a National/overseas member. While I do sympathize and understand your point, many Scottish clubs could not sustain themselves in today’s world without the annual subscriptions from overseas members. Hotels, B&B’s, pubs/restaurants all rely on the tourist/overseas dollar.

Pleasant surprise this morning to have an email from @CrailGolf saying my waitlist number had come up and offered membership to the club. Incredible honor to be part of the 7th oldest club in the world and an Old Tom design. Fife roots are taking shape nicely. See you in June.
