Letter from Scotland (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It’s the complaint of our times that “things are not working any more.” The list is endless: NHS waiting times, school performance, waste recycling, housing, ferries, air traffic control, drug rehab, potholes, the transition to renewables. The basic problem is government “austerity,” or better put, a mismatch between what people expect from their public services and what they are prepared to pay for through taxation.

It was a call to declutter our lives: “Simplify, simplify, simplify! This nation of ours is an overgrown establishment, cluttered with furniture, tripped up by its own traps and spoilt by luxury and heedless expense.” This picture of an idyllic Robinson Crusoe-style life came back to me this week as I felt overwhelmed by all the talk of AI, data centres and crypto-currency millionaires.

They both shied away from the big issues of our times – meaningful employment for young people, money and reform for the NHS and the care services, proper funding for education a

It was dry, sunny a lot of the time and the coolest place in red-hot Europe. The grass was actually green. So the clattering circus of music, theatre, dance, comedy, book reading and military tattooing could spread itself into the streets. Visitors sat in T-shirts at pavement cafés as if they were in Paris or Milan or Buenos Aires. It was most unlike Auld Reekie, where the sea-haar and the chilly east wind can spoil the party. The only spoiler this time was the closure of Princes Street due to a
