FOR many of us, Scotland being governed from Edinburgh has always seemed like a sensible concept.

For others, having been warned for years that independence would pose insurmountable risks, the notion seemed less attractive.

Brexit, however, seems to have changed that for thousands of Scots.

And no wonder.

The Brexit process has helped fuel a lurch even further to the right in the Westminster government, with the UK now on course to crash out of the EU without a deal.

Such a withdrawal would be catastrophic, according to the Tory Government’s own projections.

And aside from the food shortages, lack of medical supplies and threat of civil unrest, there’s also an ever-hardening stance on immigration which is crippling Scotland’s ability to mitigate a falling birth rate.

And let’s not forget the consistent disregard for Scotland’s democratic rights.

It’s little wonder, then, that when German television visited the streets of Edinburgh they found former No voters were ready to vote Yes.
