SNP getting the wind up their coats

It is becoming increasingly clear that the SNP has not thought through all the issues relating to independence, otherwise they would be able to respond to the Scottish Affairs Select Committee report on the referendum with some comments of substance. Instead, they have been reduced to quibbling over the use of 'separation' vs 'independence' and responding to some very reasonable questions with shoddy insults. Not good enough. The decision on whether we go for independence or not cannot be taken solely on the basis of emotionalism or nationalism. We need some hard facts on what will be a complex and difficult process. The Scottish Affairs Select Committee has done a very good job in highlighting the questions which remain unanswered and they deserve a better response from the SNP, if the latter is not to be accused of being all show and no substance, or, as they say in Morningside, all fur coats and no knickers.
