Alarmist despair
In respect of the fracking debate I watch with resigned despair the vulnerability of our parliamentary committees to disinformation by alarmist agitators.
It is the MMR scandal all over again.
We desperately need much better-educated legislators. Sadly, at that same time, I note that the Scottish Government has withdrawn from two international comparison studies thus “solving” the problem of our declining educational performance.
