You would now have to scale Murdoch's pay wall to read them, but these were Alex Salmond's words this week:
"The centre of gravity in Scottish politics currently is clearly not independence. You must campaign for what is good for Scotland as well as campaigning for independence."
The story, if there is one, is that this is not a story. The second sentence, when you read it over, is extraordinary and astonishing considering its source. Except, of course, that it isn't really at all. As the old saying goes, anything else is strictly for domestic consumption.
Consumption, that is, not within Scotland as a whole with her "centre of gravity", but within the closed subculture that Salmond's party has become, comprised exclusively of people with nowhere else to go. Not even when its Leader distinguishes sharply between "what is good for Scotland" and "independence".
