So, what's your definition of a "True Scot"?

And what is your definition of extreme "sentiment"?

Again, Horseman, you hit the nail on the head. The divisionists are more commonly referred to as One Trick Ponies, but I guess even a One Trick Pony must have a one track mind.

Steady now Horseman.......
Contrary to the popular saying, it appears easy to soar like an eagle, when you are surrounded by turkeys......
Unfortunately, the conversation in this part of the forum is largely driven by sock puppets, with a very divisive agenda. Against a backdrop of endless divisive postings, anything looks sensible.

Those of us who are proud separatists have "...a very divisive agenda.", or so the Daily Mail's man in the far north says. Unfortunately for him, our agenda seems to be gaining considerable traction within the Scottish electorate.
The latest summary of polling evidence from Electoral Calculus indicates that if there were to be an election now the SNP would win 58 out of the 59 seats in Scotland. It appears that against a backdrop of endless broken promises by Unionist parties the Scottish people have had enough of being part of this disunited kingdom.

It isn't really us with the divisive agenda, though, is it? It is the UK Tory government which has that. We will just take advantage of it if we can. What is more divisive than two constituent parts of the UK voting to stay in the EU...and only one of them being allowed to? What is more divisive than Westminster being prepared to reduce all our food standards, food labelling, geographic branding etc and sell off our NHS (and any other of the few public services we still own outright) in order to get a trade deal with the USA? What is more divisive than England, via its built-in Parliamentary majority, deciding that it will use Henry VIII powers to impose acceptance of all they say on trade post Brexit without even discussing it with the devolved governments? What is more divisive than any or all devolved Governments saying "No thanks! That doesn't work for us..let's talk about it!" and the UK government saying.."Tough..just suck it up, buttercup...we have decided and that is what is going to happen!"

Just read what the Scottish Leader said today!
Perhaps those who are so outspoken should take some advice!
And ‘Henri #8’ is long gone.

I concur! Beeg wordy for them!

What a bl**dy hypocrite the man from Orkney is!
He goes on and on about open borders being the root of our Covid infection rate and demands that we place controls on who can get into the UK. Then, when one country in the UK says that it may do exactly as he wants he is up in arms about it.
Your average BritNat has held a variety of views on the subject in recent years:
Indy Ref 1 - Borders are a bad thing. We should not put in place barriers to trade and free movement of people.
Brexit - We must regain control of our borders. Borders are a good thing. We must restrict immigration and keep johnny foreigner out.
UK Covid 19 - Borders are needed to help curtail the spread of the virus. Borders are a very good thing.
Scottish Covid19 - We cannot have borders within the UK. Borders are a very bad thing.
For the love of God make up your minds about what you want; apart from having your cake and eating it that is.

The future is looking even darker this morning.
Stuart Campbell has just posted this on his website - https://wingsoverscotland.com/the-land-of-mystery/
In the past I have half-jokingly referred to HMG as the English Government. Today ministers in that government have indicated the following policy initiative which tends to prove that very often jokes imitate real events.
"Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are set to be handed powers in areas such as air quality and animal welfare currently regulated at EU level. But in a bid to protect cross-border trade, they will have to recognise standards drawn up elsewhere in the UK.
Where do you think this "..elsewhere in the UK.", might be? Re-write the quote as follows and the reality hits you square in the face.
Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are set to be handed powers in areas such as air quality and animal welfare currently regulated at EU level. But in a bid to protect cross-border trade, they will have to recognise standards drawn up in England.
As predicted, the power grab is underway - http://forum.caithness.org/showthrea...be-very-afraid

So much for the UK being a Union of any description, far less one with equal partners...it is just an 'elected by English voters' dictatorship. In a real democratic Union, like the EU, for example, there would be much debating and perhaps some compromising on standards...and not just the biggest country laying down the law and the others just having to suck it up...because the other countries in the EU have the option of just getting up and leaving, without asking permission.

Nail hit squarely on the head there. It might be worth re-posting Boris Johnson's thoughts on the matter:-
“We have an England-only parliament. It’s Westminster.” Boris Johnson, 30th June 2019
It's fairly clear that Scotland's views don't count for much in Westminster. When we ask for something the majority want (IndyRef2) they just keep saying "No".

We did. In 2014, we decided we didn't want Scexit. In 2016, we decided we did want Independence (from the EU)

A lot harder, Horseman, is gaining the permission of Orkney and Shetland, by way of those areas also voting for Scexit. The separatists introduced the mantra that nobody can be dragged out of a union against their will. Having introduced it, they now have to abide by it. So Scexit is impossible until Orkney and Shetland are on side. Good luck with that.
