![]() | Winnie Ewing: Shocking betrayal by the Liberals. Unbelieveable almost because they were meant to be the Home Rule party. So they're just another Unionist party like the others. In a way, worse, because they professed to be a Home Rule party. So it was really a set of constant betrayals and a lot of them would like to forget that little chapter. Russell Johnston: I can't really remember what the reason was. I can't remember exactly now I must confess. I would need to refresh my memory. I'm sure I wrote notes about it at the time. Winnie Ewing: We'll never forget and we'll never trust them. I mean, they are a party of Britain and I don't know where they're going in Scotland because they don't really seem to want what they say they want. I think they like it 'down there''. How the Liberals helped sabotage the devolution bill of the 1970s in Parcel of Rogues, Channel Four Television, April 1998. | ![]() |
