   The law works in mysterious ways, Duncan/Peter. The bloggers represent a medium over which the government and the law has no as much control as it would like. You can always threaten, bully or bribe the MSM and the state broadcaster, but bloggers are hard to pin down and pummel into shape – at least, the shape they want.

   The reason for Craig Murray’s prosecution was ‘pour encourager les autres’ – and it worked, in a way, because all the bloggers rushed to subscription to protect themselves, rightly so. Now, people are reblogging on other sites, on Facebook, etc., so the word is still getting out there, to the masses, if they bother to read it.

   The dissension is getting through, though, as The National’s letters pages testify to, with blustering SNP and Sturgeon loyalists having a go every other day. I’m glad I’m a dissenter because I’ve had my fill of merry-go-round independence. They are going to have to find out the hard way that this SNP administration has not the slightest intention of bringing it in, not if another excuse can be found to delay yet again. Och, hell mend them all.
