i also think on a political point, when it comes to the smp and nicola sturgeon versus the smp and nicolasturgeon can point to borisjohnson and say they are not giving us a referendum, borisjohnson can say we are a party of a union and this is not in the economic interest of scotland in the uk, etc. so it creates two very clear and entrenched positions. some would argue that's beneficial. sturgeon's language is interesting on this, she said she would forge a way forward on whether a referendum was deemed lawful or not. what she published today was the first of a series of documents outlining scotland's case for independence. i very much feel an engine is revving at this point. very much feel an engine is rewing at this point-— at this point. lets wait to see if we tet at this point. lets wait to see if we get any _ at this point. lets wait to see if we get any detail— at this point. lets wait to see if we get any detail on that. - at this point. lets wait to see if - we get any detail on that. speaking of the future, on the front of the guardian, a rather sobering warning, "sea level rise
