Examples

“In the first foreign policy initiative launched in Edinburgh since 1707, senior SNP figures have⟳ begun an intense round of behind-the-scenes meetings with foreign dignitaries as they prepare⟳ the ground for next year's indyref.”

“Experienced politicians were surprised by the astounding vitality that the indyref unleashed.”

“Coming exactly a year after the same “impossible” moment when the Yes vote⟳ hit 51 per cent before the indyref, this concerted and hysterical attack will have⟳ stirred memories and prompted sympathy among fellow Trident and austerity-opposing Yes voters.”

“My only regrets are thatbrad T2 failed to get⟳ to grips with the new era of #indyref and Scottish national identity – for which Renton's famous "shite" speech helped plant⟳ a tiny seed in 1996 – and that the second film didn't give⟳ the women characters much to do, especially the excellent Kelly Macdonald and Shirley Henderson.”
