DECEMBER’S General election produced very contrasting results for those of us who support the idea of Scotland becoming a normal, selfgoverning country. On the one hand, the SNP gains delivered yet another mandate to Nicola Sturgeon, while the inevitable Tory victory in England has left the entire UK facing decades of austerity and increasing social inequality. However, plenty of people who are better qualified than me have written about the political situation, so I’m going to talk about another aspect of the Election which produced contrasting experiences.
