IT is said that history is written by those who are victorious in controlling the narrative and to a large degree in this era of multimedia outlets that is still true. Yesterday the electorate of Scotland went to the polls in what is arguably the most important, most crucial and without doubt most life-changing election to be held for our parliament. We know now what is at stake, we know now that if we fail to return an independence-supporting government then the powers of Holyrood will be torn from our grasp by an unfettered, unchecked and brutally uncaring Conservative and Unionist majority government in Westminster. With those wrenching of powers will go all dreams, hopes and aspirations of Scotland becoming a free, independent and socially just nation.
