Why is an Englishman so obsessed with Scottish independence? His father was Scottish (I think) but Murray himself does not have, nor shows any indication of having, in the words of Robert Burns an 'independent mind'.<br /><br />The horseshoe theory is interesting. Years ago in Spain one of my friends would expound on why fascism and communism would evolve to the point where they met and agreed with each other. I suppose he was explaining that theory but whether he knew of it or just worked it out I don't know. He was half Irish so it may well have been his fertile mind seeing how the world works.<br />And lo and behold, evidence of the theory appeared last week with the appointment of Munira Mirza as director of Boris Johnson's policy unit in Number 10! She was a member of the Revolutionary Communist Party (UK) and wrote for the magazine Living Marxism which itself evolved into Spiked. http://www.spiked-online.com/<br /><br />As you say, it's not left v right any more. It is a time of strange bedfellows. Now what was that hysteria about keeping the mad Commie Corbyn well away from Downing Street?<br /><br />We live in interesting times :)Sackersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17284329249862764601noreply@blogger.com
