It takes one to know one.

This well used Scottish phrase, often from a sectarian setting seems freshly relevant in modern politics. We have just had the unedifying yet illuminating spectacle of one loudmouthed, bellicose, ignorant bully denouncing another for like attributes. Donald Trump clearly is a dangerous buffoon but he has crisply got the number of our former first minister who fits the pattern to a tee. (Even on a Trump golf course!)  Trump has, unintentionally,  given us a little vignette of the kind of person he is and of the kind of people the SNP are. You would not want them near you and we should not want them governing us. Our moment is approaching. Let us do the right thing and relieve their inadequate minds of the burdens of office.
