Wow! Love a Sequoia 🙂
That's quite a statistic though; I'm intrigued! They're usually planted as individuals or small groups in a parkland setting and 500k sounds like a BIG number. What's your reference? (That would be 200hectares planted at minimum density for Scottish Forestry grants.)

He talks about this kind of media treatment in general terms in the latest podcast:
This is just another variation on the theme of mainstream media missing the substantive point.

Scottish judge agrees to pause Scottish legal challenge to UK Gov ban on Palestine Action
Lord Young granted a motion from UK Gov to sist (pause) Scottish judicial review of the proscription; the case will not proceed until that in England has run its course.
Scottish courts' deference to London undermines the distinct role of Scotland’s legal system & makes mugs of Scottish citizens

Courage mon brave!
No doubt there will be some of what you speak, however the SNP remains a very broad coalition of interests that will ultimately split. Regardless of SNP tactics:
SNP1/SGP2 is the best electoral play on 7th May

How can you qualify the recognition of the Palestinian state with Israel's future actions? They have made their choice quite abundantly clear. I am ashamed by the #Labour? government of the UK #Palestine #FreePalestine #ScottishIndependence now

A moment's consideration would reveal ways in which your point might be advanced in a civil fashion.

RUDE! That behaviour belongs on a different platform. If you can't be civil here, perhaps Xitter would be more appropriate

I figure it ended around the time we stopped hanging on to outdated imperialist dogma which perpetuates the economic and social differences in our society.
Some of it just hasn't aged well & all of it is tainted by JC's dogged determination to remain rooted in the 1970's
