THE ‘You live and learn’ response by Oliver Letwin in relation to the disclosure that he was instrumental in persuading Margaret Thatcher to test out the Poll Tax on the Scots seems somewhat inadequate.
This serious deficiency in judgement effectively finished the Tories in Scotland and represents the catalyst that will likely lead to the ultimate break up of the Union.
Unfortunately, with several other major lapses since then, he does not seem to be learning very well.
