NOT much of a military type, but I guess that opening up too many battle fronts is not the smart way to win a war. Which advice I offer freely to the Conservative and Unionist troops who are grabbing every bit of assorted weaponry in their fight to the death of independence. Professor Adam Tomkins, tutor in public law and outgoing Holyrood MSP has gone for the nuclear option – just make the whole notion illegal. His intervention has the merit of simplicity; keep these damn natives under legal lock and key. Better yet, throw the key away. His somewhat startling offering is contained in The Spectator magazine, rapidly becoming the house journal for Unionist refuseniks. Chaired by Andrew Neil, edited by Fraser Nelson, and featuring die hard naysaying columnists, it is a noisy part of the editorial battle for the UK.
