ALEX BELL: Sturgeon is heading for a constitutional clash she won’t win
I’d happily grab a banner and take to the barricades on London denying Scotland post-Brexit powers, as readers know, but it would be lonely up there. Most of us do not care.

ALEX BELL: Can Scots really be sure they would have treated the Windrush generation any better?
History turns on where ships dock and where the passengers disembark. The UK Government is making a hash of the Windrush generation issue but had the ship landed in Dundee, would Scots be making the same mistakes?
ALEX BELL: Land, freedom and Loch Leven’s ‘heavy metal’ campers
Who knew that death cults were on Police Scotland’s radar? Certainly not the family and friends who went to drink and be merry on Loch Leven, only to find their Sunday night campsite the focus of emergency service searchlights and helicopter swoops.
ALEX BELL: Our environmental complacency is clear to see in every plastic water bottle
Tesco is selling a bottle of water for 17p.
ALEX BELL: Why so quiet in face of Madrid’s Franco-esque aggression, Ms Sturgeon?

ALEX BELL: It is time the West punched back against Russia and its “wee man” president
A Dundee businessmen falls from a window on to railings below – a horrible death now thought part of the new world order.

Another referendum is beginning to look essential. No, not that one, and not that other one either, but a vote on protecting Scotland’s devolution powers.
ALEX BELL: Pompous Tory Loons are marching us off a Brexit cliff
Here comes the Brexit showdown. Like a crazed marching band contest, we have the Brussels Bugles in from the East, the London Loons from the South and from Cardiff and Edinburgh, the Peeved Pipers. They crisscross the parade ground of public opinion – all noise and fancy steps, vying for attention.
ALEX BELL: Newspapers shot themselves in the foot with Corbyn spy farrago
Jeremy Corbyn was a spy for communist Czechoslovakia. Scrap that. He met Czech spies and this strongly suggests he may have a been a spy. No, Mr Corbyn met a Czech spy several times in the 1980s but the head of the Czech intelligence has dismissed any suggestion the Labour leader was a spy. Oh, and all along Mr Corbyn has also called the story rubbish.
ALEX BELL: Phoney Pete Wishart is asking his questions 20 years too late
Pete Wishart is the kind of phoney nationalist that blights the independence cause.
