Letters Nicola Sturgeon faced a grilling from Andrew Marr about independence, with few questions about her party’s manifesto THANK you for the headline yesterday praising the First Minister’s interview with Andrew Marr (Sturgeon hammers home indy case in BBC grilling, April 26). It was a well-deserved accolade. Marr tried to attack with the traditional anti-independence, Unionist barbs about border controls, EU rules, the size of Scotland and the deficit, and almost entirely failed to question the FM on the Scottish election and the SNP manifesto. Nicola Sturgeon responded with an outstanding interview full of passion about Scotland’s ability to flourish as an independent country, how Scotland is being held back as part of the the broken Union (which we never vote for), and showing her highly intelligent debating skills, especially when she explained that Marr was making the case for independence.
