Tend to think that, contrary to what you write, independence IS now the be-all and end-all of Scottish politics. With the normalisation of racist tropes and stereotypes within the UK parties, Scotland's values of inclusiveness and fairness are at odds with its neighbours. Better tread our own path.

Almost nobody in the Cons Party or beyond it had noticed that the Shadow Home Secretary with two other frontbenchers and 5 backbenchers tabled a bill in May to deport 3 million people - stripping almost every pensioner, parent or nurse who did not take out citizenship of their right to live here

ICE now has a budget bigger than most militaries around the world and has increased spending on weapons.

It's also engaging in a race to recruit 10,000 new agents who will eventually be out in American streets.

Some will be vetted, but how many unqualified recruits will fall through the cracks?
