I'd hope most Scots regardless of politics would be against the idea of devolution being frustrated or chipped away at given our generally better services up here. The Brexit Party (remember him?) are also currently renewing their demands for the Welsh assembly to be abolished so that England can have direct rule over Wales. The links between Cummings, Farage, and Johnson are all too well known. Brexit and its minions have always been about “taking back control” into the hands of a small cabal of London-based billionaires. None of this is a surprise, nor even particularly covert. UK “unionism” is now neo English imperialism in all but name, aided and abetted by the (shrinking) minority of cringing serfs in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland who desperately want to be part of the great project. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a bit difficult to be accused of racism by racists like Johnson, Farage and their supporters - but, then, Farage has been trying to accuse supporters of equal rights for black people of being racist against pureblood whites like himself, so it wouldn’t surprise me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is undoubtedly going to happen. It's part of Cummings' plan to centralise power within a small group in Westminster. Devolution will be attacked from single (barely) legal angle. Given that it's already proven that Westminster overrules Holyrood on pretty much every aspect, the Tories will take full advantage of this. Next year's elections are absolutely vital, not just for the SNP, but for the whole existence of the Scottish parliament. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And when Cummings’ puppets attempt to claim it’s just “nationalist grievance and scaremongering” - and they will - it needs to be pointed out that they did the same with: The 2015 Tory government. Then it happened. Brexit. Then it happened. Boris Johnson. Then it happened. No deal. Now it’s happening. The Tories and their enablers are lying, verminous maggots, and they will, as a matter of course, try and dismiss everything they’re actively working towards as “scare-mongering grievance” that “will never happen”.

I've honestly no idea why this should come as a surprise to anyone. The Tories, under Cummings, have long been set on destroying the pillars of British democracy that he sees as liberal, progressive and a threat to centralised power...effectively anyone and anything that was against Brexit for the last few years. So the civil service and it's many components will be dismantled, the BBC will lose its 'neutrality', and the devolved powers will be diluted to the point that they will become nothing more than council offices. If people in Scotland are complacent and unaware of what's going on, we could sleepwalk into a point where Scottish 'devolution' is turned back 30 years or more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antlion Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 What I’m curious about: we know Johnson works for Cummings (his part of the deal seems to be fulfilling his right to prance about on the world stage as PM, as a creature of his class and ego believes itself entitled to do) - but who does Cummings really work for? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is going very well for you. It’s obviously not going very well for you. If the nasty Tories are going around murdering people, why are so many voting for them? That would tend to indicate that the other parties must be really shit. Given the “care home killing fields statistics” in Scotland, it looks like its actually the SNP that are murdering people. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would take spreading your cheeks and defecating over your keypad to reach Glen Minter’s latest “if the Tories are killing people then why did people vote for them” level of thickness. This is the Tory voter in Scotland now - so thick it can’t even stand up (but if there’s a Union Jack or a minor royal about, it’ll damn well try!). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Kincardine Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 The tone of the Indyref2 campaign is increasingly militant - we've seen that in recent weeks. Here's another example: The upside is that the Natters on here can stop pretending it's civic nationalism and just get on with the job of hating the Basturt English. -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
