You seem to be conflating support of otherwise for Scottish Independence with a criticism of Tory Westminster policies. Brown believes in the Power of the Union, he also believes that the Tories' Westminster policies are execrable. There is no inconsistency here.

Broon has to stop getting air time. Britain literally voted for this time and time again. Scotland had a chance to change course ten years ago, and he was instrumental in stopping this. This is happening in his backyard because of him, and until he owns his failings he can shut right up

Really? You don’t see how indy is related to the Tories? He’s a total hypocrite and is responsible for the mess in his own backyard

Certaintly the Tories mismanagement of the economy and social issues boosted support for independence - but beyond that, no - you're going to have to educate me.

It’s hypocritical, yes, but I’d say we need as many people as possible spreading this message as loudly as possible.

When the messager doesn’t say ‘I advocated for all of this’ then he just needs to shut it
