The Post-Brexit Power Grab

[The Horseman]

Gosh.....The Pandemic! You do have a way of moving away from the most important issue of our time.
On reading several of ‘your’ newspapers, there is money being set aside for Indyref2.
This isn't ‘a debate.....Its our Opinion Piece!
All Parties/Countries should stand together and tackle The Pandemic. Then, and only then.... do The Indyref2 thingy! SIMPLES REALLY!

By your own admission I can see you view everything to do with Scotland through the London-centric main stream media which is renowned for talking Scotland down.
You make no mention of the Tory government’s relentless push for Brexit while it deals with the pandemic. Yet argue that the people of Scotland should not be pursuing independence until the pandemic has been dealt with. A prime example of double-standards and hypocrisy if ever there was one.

The Brexit ‘thingy’ was ongoing a long time prior to The Pandemic.
You figure out what Orkney and Shetland will do.........that fits into this equation!
Get your Scottish Leaders ‘ducks in a row’. They are all fighting each other..........from what I see, viewing a series of Media outlets, you are in one big mess. If Scotland wants to GO, then set the stage properly.
I am not against it, but it has to be done properly this time.

As soon as the pandemic was recognised as a problem Scotgov called for a pause in Brexit. The EU called for an extension to the 'transition period'; Wales and NI called for caution and further debate, but the Westminster Tory government stuck by its mantra, ‘get Brexit done.’ So, we are where we are.
Orkney and Shetland have been part of Scotland since centuries before the Union with England and remain part of Scotland, no question. You are making the same argument as the unionists and failing to recognise the difference between a country, a county, an island or a region, however nebulous it may be.
As I said before, the independence movement is bigger than both Nicola Sturgeon and Alex Salmond. Clearly you choose not to recognise that.
Our immediate concern is Westminster’s Internal Market Bill and the proposed ‘UK Wealth Fund’ which have been designed to undermine the devolved administrations and in particular the Holyrood parliament. When they are enforced, the logical result will be the sell-off of Scottish Water’s domestic water supply and distribution, the rescinding of the moratorium on Fracking across the Central Belt, the enforced further privatisation of the Scottish NHS and the perpetual presence of nuclear WMD within 35 miles of our most populous city. Scotland did not vote for this, or this Tory government, indeed Scotland has not supported a Tory government since 1955.
Finally, we have seen a proliferation of smears across the media in recent months; it is what the Greater England Project does and they are entirely expected. You choose whatever you want to believe but I choose to have faith in the will of the people of Scotland.

I was interested in The Horseman's view that, "... the Antics of your Chosen Leaders would be quite hard to find elsewhere." A remarkable assertion given what has been happening over the last four years in the USA. It also took only 2 minutes on Google to find some example of impropriety in her/his adopted homeland.

Canada's Rich History of Political Disgrace is just one of many.

Indeed there have been so many that Wikipedia has an entire entry devoted to Political Scandals in Canada. Just a little extra research brings up literally dozens of accounts of the various scandals involving Justin Trudeau - List of Scandals and Missteps Involving Canada's Trudeau is one recently published by Reuters.

A sense of proportion please. But if you want to engage in a game of Political Disgrace Top Trumps then I'm sure that Scotland would fare very favourably.

Well Corky....thank you for that ‘raft’ of information.

Canada........
You start with Sir John A Macdonald. Frae Scotland.
And end with Justin Trudeau.....His Mother was a ‘Sinclair’ frae Caithness!
I didn't bother going any further......you try to scrape the bottom of the barrel, but it ends up being your own!

Unionist.....take a look at the true meaning.
I would have to think that you are ‘Havering’! Laughing Emojee!

Political Disgrace...not so...
It is necessary to get people ‘on the same page’ to be successful. How can you Unite a Country with what is going on! Ty...s
