There was discussion on the SNP’s new strategy for independence on Debate Night last night. The BBC clipped this contribution from me:
“Independence isn’t going to happen yet. Because Labour and the Tories are united in their desire to retain Scotland as a colony”
Political economist @RichardJMurphy says Westminster is denying Scotland a referendum, against democratic values #bbcdn https://t.co/VMihf6vgsN pic.twitter.com/LIvTKdGPPD

As was apparent, this went down well with some in the audience. Some told me so afterwards. I clearly kept some people happy.
As is also clear from Twitter reaction, it did not go down well with everyone. The colonisers do not like being named. It’s a characteristic of the breed.
I am happy with the choice of language and the provocation implicit in it.
I hope the SNP rises to the challenge. It will have to change a lot of its thinking to do so, from abandoning neoliberalism to embracing a Scottish currency straight after independence, if it is to do so.
