• A letter to Mr Salmond:Gordon Lawrie

  "I have come a long way since those halcyon days of 1999 and no longer support your quest for independence. This comes down to pure, hard economics rather than any substantive shift in my ideology, though my teenage xenophobia has been replaced by a much more mature dislike of Mel Gibson. In June I argued on these very pages that Scotland's economy was broken and that we needed a return to research and manufacturing to fix it.I am heartened that both your party and Labour on Monday announced plans to boost the number of apprentices in the country. This is a fine policy but it is not enough."
