The SNP is a big business party with its heartland in the North East of Scotland. It has oil coming out of every pore.
If anyone still doubts the need for clean coal technology and for nuclear power, then the answer is now "Lockerbie".
Oh, well, we should at least get a public inquiry now. And when MSPs reconvene on Monday, then there will be, as there always are, far more of them not from the SNP than from it. So if they wanted Kenny McAskill's scalp, then they could certainly have it. And if his, then how not Alex Salmond's?
What a shambles devolution is, when something like this can happen! And are the SNP just first-timers out of their depth, with no idea what the unwritten rules are? Or are they a lot more sinister than that?
