Scotland must remember the lessons learned from Barlinnie's Special Unit, writes @ruth_wishart 🗣'The Special Unit had the guts to turn all the accepted rules of engagement on their heads.' thenational.scot/politics/24…

Ruth Wishart: We must remember the lessons from Barlinnie’s radical Special Unit

IT was a speech at another October Tory conference, way back when the leader was Michael Howard. You remember, the chap Ann Widdecombe said had “something of the night about him”.
