Agree with the points that having lazy thinking is a slippery slope / easier for a populist to exploit. It is the human condition though, we have evolved to generalise. All big cats are dangerous and best avoided - doesn't need to be thought about. By the same token, our jungle optimised brains do similar tricks socially unless we are more thoughtful. Maybe civilsation is recognising we are more than the law of the jungle whilst accepting that is where we came from and it is our basic nature. |

On the racism thing, this morning on Radio 4 interview, a Chinese interviewee said that because customers staying away from china town in Liverpool (I think, I missed which city) because of the corona virus, they were being racist. Ridiculous. |

52% has a certain irony that you'd have to have a heart of stone not to laugh at. That's three consecutive polls in favour of independence now. Also, an interesting thread here on Scotland joining the EU post-independence, Scotland's 'national deficit' etc. twitter.com |

Cue the Tories saying 52% isn't really a significant majority. Oh. |

Given this government is saying no to a second Scottish referendum, I'd say no Chris.
