There’s also the fact that the entire focus of the SNP has changed from independence for Scotland to regulating every interaction in that country, be it social, moral, political or religious. They’ve gone completely overboard in the building of some kind of woke paradise and have lost all interest in doing what they were actually founded to do. Perhaps Scotland needs some kind of Scottish nationalist party to protect it from the SNP.

Yes, I’m starting to wonder if that is a feature of female-led societies – in the past we were all watching out for Big Brother, but maybe it was Big Mother we should have been worried about instead.

‘Progressive’ is actually ‘regressive’.

  1. The destruction of the family unit.
  2. Self-idolatry: putting self over a higher power.
  3. Treating criminals with kindness while condemning the most productive members of society.
  4. Using cultural relativism to break down morals.
  5. Placing sexual desires over personal responsibility.
  6. Downgrading of masculine virtues in order to make men more effete.
  7. Killing of the unborn.
  8. Implementing sophistic education systems.
  9. Equating sexual promiscuity with female empowerment.
  10. Sexual conditioning of minors keeping them in a perpetual state of arrested development.
  11. Putting the environment above human needs.

There’s more I could add to this list, but the Left is all about the shedding of fairness and universalism (cleverly labelled ‘oppression’) in order to embrace a tribalism based on mawkish sentimentality and cruelty (social justice activism aka mob justice).

I think that there should be a referendum as soon as possible. And further referendums in rapid succession until we get the required result. Do I hate the Scots and want them gone? No I don’t, but I am not prepared to put up with this bluddy nonsense for ever.

How do you think it is for us in Scotland?
We voted No in the 2014 referendum of a lifetime but it seems lifetimes are getting shorter up here.

Well, we do know that lifespans are shorter here.

I am sure that I have already apologised, but my apology seems to have disappeared.

The SNP’s obsessions with curtailing free speech, and opposing ‘uppity women’ suggest that an independent Scotland would have more in common with Orban’s Hungary or Poland. Would the EU need another illiberal Member State?
I suspect that The First Minister has recognised that independence wouldn’t see Scotland join the EU anytime within the first decade, and that wouldn’t be something she’d like to preside over. Whilst nationalists continue to vote SNP, independence is the last thing on the agenda.

No independence referendum any time soon.
In other news, the Pope is Catholic.
The article is even interesting, but the title is clickbait and a waste of a time as it doesn’t really reflect the content of the article, if not tangentially.
