Let's be clear what this is about. Just over 400 owners hold the power to decide how half of Scotland's land is used. Many have inherited that power rather than earned it on merit. Modern progressive economy?

How long before civil servants are told to stop working on #JustTransition because it threatens Westminster's oil & gas paymasters?
Or told to stop work on #LandReform because it threatens the interests of members of the House of Lords?

I may have missed this but have Sarwar or Baillie been asked and responded to an unelected Labour lord attempting to curtail the work of the elected Scottish Government? Is restricting the ambit of democracy official Scottish Labour policy?

A great Irish poet and singer left us today.
She was beautiful, courageous and wore her heart on her sleeve. She was before her time.
Nothing will ever compare to Sinéad O’Connor.
Rest easy Sinéad.

'Scotland is trying to decide whether to move home, based on the cost of the removals van. It’s crazy. If a move's needed, a vehicle will be found. But instead of tackling that important primary question we are stuck on particulars of the van hire.' Thrive lesleyriddoch.com/books/thri…

We just joined an international trading bloc without ANY consultation or a referendum. We can rejoin the EU without need for such things.

New Yougov poll has support for Rejoin at 61% to 39%. Close to landslide territory.
The trend is crystal clear. We will be back in the EU. The only mystery is whether it will be under a Tory or Labour government. And how much more pain we suffer first.

In a talk at @UKandEU this week @theSNP’s @Ianblackford_MP reiterated that #Scotland was taken out of the #EU against its will and deserved a new #independence referendum because the circumstances had changed. 2-minute video. My report on YouTube at: bit.ly/46YOw6u
