Democracy is for all, not the loudest

PREDICTING the sky will fall in unless the government changes course is not an argument, but a sign that an argument has already been lost.

Donald Trump offers one example this week. His apocalyptic visions of a Scotland encased in wind farms, boycotted by tourists, and starving in the poorhouse are certainly colourful, but they are hopelessly inaccurate. They are also, as we report today, pure humbug.
