It was perfectly legitimate to suggest that the atmosphere during that referendum created conditions where someone like Mair could think what he was doing was right.
And that's the reason I don't want another one. Another 6 weeks of the right-wing media becoming increasingly hysterical about...
If you've not been before I did it last year and really enjoyed it. Food was really great, there was enough good music without it feeling too rushed, never felt too crowded. There was lots of 'mum's pissed' going on but it was pretty funny really.
