Poor vision
Having read Brian Wilson (Perspective, 19 April), I have started to worry whether his brief membership of the political establishment has had an equally unfortunate effect. I’m not sure how many people bother to read his contributions to the independence debate.
However, he took a slightly different tack this week by introducing a new definition of “vision”, which apparently is “little more than pious hopes and bogus guarantees”.

Hide AdGiven he chaired the Labour Party’s No to Devolution group in the late 1970s, perhaps we shouldn’t be surprised by his dislike of “vision”. After all, vision only gives people hope, inspiration and desire. Who on earth would want that?
