I promise you're going to be surprised by the source of this paragraph (which is not in any way taken out of context), and the whole piece contains some uncomfortable food for thought. Link below. 
I've said since the beginning that the only way to honestly argue against independence is to say that Scotland isn't a country, which Unionists are too cowardly to do. But the truth might be something worse than that.
I disagree that Scottish independence is any bigger a "risk" than staying in the UK (well, except for women's rights and freedom of expression). Both nations are plagued by useless, incompetent, crooked rulers. But otherwise I can't see much wrong in the assessment.
So we have to face a horrible possibility: we've actually already won the argument, but as a nation we're too big a bunch of shiters to follow through on it. And the group of people that's the most true about in 2023 is... the SNP and their remaining voters.
Humza Yousaf could give people a vote within weeks if he really wanted to. But he's shiteing it because he doesn't want to risk HIS livelihood and economic wellbeing.
If we'd had anyone with a shred of courage in charge of the SNP since 2015 these things could have been overcome. But when the leaders of your movement are cowards who run away at every hint of a setback, it sends a message and sets the tone.
Ironically, that was the message of "Braveheart". But Nicola Sturgeon is no William Wallace. At best she's Robert The Elder, interested only in power. At worst she's Mornay and Lochlan, the betrayers of Falkirk. And Yousaf, albeit on the other side, is Prince Edward 🙁
And as for the rest? Nothing much seems to have changed since 1979.
