Peter A Bellposted toSCOTLANDS BIG YES/NO? DEBATE That the overwhelming opinion was for a No vote and greater devolution and the concern about jobs in defence, shipbuilding and manufacturing suggests that GMB members have fallen prey to the propaganda of Project Fear and the jam tomorrow promises of the British parties. Which is sad. Presumably, they have no concerns about those jobs if Scotland remains in the UK. Which suggests an inexplicable blindness to the lessons of history. And the quaint notion that the British parties can be trusted to deliver meaningful devolution in the event of a No vote is surely the triumph of hope over experience. Assuming that GMB members are not as gullible and naive as their union bosses suggest, we have to wonder if this decision doesnt have more to do with British Labours bitter hatred of the SNP than with any rational assessment of what is best for Scotland.
