"I’m currently about 1/2 way through this book & have stopped several times to reflect back on the years being discussed. When I was young, the SNP seemed an irrelevant fringe party. I only, as with much of the country, began to take note once Nicola Sturgeon became First Minister.
So far, all the SNP history Nicola describes perfectly informs what I always felt, especially about Alex Salmond. Numpties abounded!" — May 07, 2026 12:07PM

“It is a harsh world, indescribably cruel. It is a gentle world, unbelievably beautiful. It is a world that can make us bitter, hateful, rabid, destroyers of joy. It is a world that can draw forth tenderness from us, as we lean towards one another over broken gates. It is a world of monsters and saints, a mutilated world, but it is the only one we have been given. We should let it shock us not into hatred or anxiety, but into unconditional love.”
