Scotland...banana republic without the bananas

[cancel2 2022]

ANDREW NEIL: Censorship, bullying, threats of jail... how Nicola Sturgeon's storm troops turned Scotland into a banana republic without the bananas.

These are dark, even dangerous days in Scotland. The stramash between the country's two most famous politicians, Alex Salmond and Nicola Sturgeon, has resulted in vital public documents being censored or banned, important information being suppressed, the media cajoled and cowed, the legal system brought into disrepute, the Scottish Parliament neutered and even bloggers being threatened with jail.

So many have just switched off. But that is a mistake because what is happening in Scotland is a clear and present danger to democratic accountability, the impartial rule of law and a free Press – an integral part of these islands.

So let us stand back from the mind-boggling detail and consider the enormity of what is happening.

The relentless twists and turns in the Salmond-Sturgeon saga make it hard to follow, not just in the rest of the UK, to which Scotland is increasingly another country, but even north of the border +8

It's the Scottish Play revisited!

"Lay on, Macduff,
And damn'd be him that first cries, 'Hold, enough!'"

Maybe they're a haggis republic... Potato is taken by Ireland, so that's out, and roast beef is taken by England so, no there too...

Whiskey Republic.

If it's not Scottish it's crap.

Naw, Irish Whiskey is pretty good, as well. Outside of the British Isles, though, you are pretty much right.

Shut it big head!

I feel sad for Scotland and the people... such a great culture. The Scots have an unquestionable, proud history of serving in the British Forces. Their record shows their bravery and high standards making them a rod of iron as part of British military. This is the only part of their wish to leave the UK which saddens me.
It is a false argument to seek independence by wanting to leave the UK and steadfastly form a strong bond with the EU - the most controlling bunch of oligarchs outside China.

I have a funny feeling that the Scottish people don't give a flying fuck about the UK or the EU.

The Scottish people are dumbed down as are multi millions in many countries. People are like sheep - some are awake but many are not. They line up at the sheep dip and feel fine and clean for the queue to the slaughter house.
The problem is the MSM and control of freedom of expression. I have a son with a BA and an MA in English Literature - but he is incapable of having an open discussion. I can show him an actual recorded video, real life event of the BLM activists burning down a building shouting - "pigs in a blanket death to the police"!!! and he will not even register this fact as real. This is the generation - I mention my own son to show my honesty and that I am not fake.
We have people who regard the winner of X factor as real heroes while a soldier or paramedic is NOTHING to them. This is what we have in Scotland. the SNP is the one true socialist party in the UK. They promise and carry out their policies for FREE everything - as do the Dems and in so doing they dumb down the populace. Anyone who has something to say of a challenging nature is censored and deleted from the public arena.
I say piss off Scotland to the EU controlling elite - hurry up and get on with it.
