The banality of evil.

This phrase was first used by Hannah Arendt having watched the trial of Adolf Eichman a high ranking Nazi who had escaped justice for many years after 1945. Evil is done not only by evil people but by simply stolid banal people. And thus our own home grown national socialists. They trundle around the country uttering banal platitudes on any topic under the sun and all the while doing evil. There is no vision, no purpose, no bright future in view among their empty droning. Today they have set out to apologise not for the actions of their thugs but on behalf of their thugs. All nationalists are of course evil  but how bold of the  SNP at this stage to appear to  go out of its way to somehow excuse the doings it itself has inspired and condioned. As they rush headlong to be like Greece let us remember where they are bound.
