The saddest thing about this is, on a day when the workforce (who faced redundancy with the potential closure of their yard) should feel pride in what they've achieved. Instead, the bitterness of Unionists, Conservatives and a propagandist Media have taken that away from them.

Back when I worked for the Scottish Government, I bought 2 guitars, a nice pair of Ray-Bans, a Hamilton watch and a posh Cross fountain pen. Should I be worried about being investigated or written about by the Daily Record?

@eilidhdouglas I think we must allow Ms. Forbes two hats. Her first, as a member of a sect of Christianity, to which she is entitled. The second one, if she is elected FM, is to respect the needs of secular government. If we demand respect for our weird beliefs, then we should respect hers.
