Just a couple of thoughts on Andrew Wilson's piece...
Following the Growth Commission's skipping over if EU membership, he seems to be saying that Sturgeon's inflated ego will override EU treaty law and precedent.
His definition of "a generation" as 20 to 25 years is probably baiting, but the real hook is that, just as Jacob Rees Mogg said the benefits of Brexit wouldn't be seen for 50 years, it will take in independent Scotland 25 to become a normal country.
That's telling, one because in 25 years of the gulf stream collapses Edinburgh could have the climate of Moscow, so sound predictions might be taken with a gritter full of salt but also...
It means anyone of say 40 who voted for independence can expect the economy to be hampered for the rest of their working lives
And when he finally does talk about EU membership requirement he dies it with the bastard child of a red-herring and strawman. If the 'brains of the Yes movement' is pointing out the Maastricht criteria don't apply to a Copenhagen Criteria question, he is doing it on purpose
So; no mention of if, when and how we would meet the Copenhagen Criteria, just trust in "Sturgeon's personality" and a generation of disadvantages.

Champion. 🙄
