IT seems to me that Jim Sillars has a death wish for the very independent Scotland that he (apparently) desires.
Like many, I am delighted that Alex Salmond was found not guilty and not proven of the charges against him. I look forward to Salmond pointing fingers but I think this all needs to be done at the right time.
However I think Sillars has (yet again) allowed his huff of the current leadership of the SNP to cloud his judgement. For a supposedly experienced politician I would have thought it was obvious to stick together through thick and thin and get our freedom and then sort out our Scottish politics.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
