Letters Politicians such as Angus MacNeil MP have had to deal with flack just for trying to have debates THE one thing we should all have in common is our support for independence. Unfortunately, that isn’t enough for many of our leading lights, who have no interest in taking on board views from the wider Yes movement if those views differ from their own. A number of people close to the leadership in Scotland, along with a number of SNP MPs in Westminster, spend far too much time on Twitter berating independence supporters who believe in a more direct route to independence. If their intended targets happen to oppose gender self-ID or the Hate Crime Bill, they are perceived to be fair game for the type of abuse that should never be tolerated by anyone in or around our leadership.
