And so the pantomime begins. Enjoyed your comment..even laughed at bits!
The farcical 'battle' being played out doon south..ie foreign shi**y england ...is a joy to watch. And who is a threat to our wonderful 'disunited kingdom'?...is it North Korea?..maybe Russia?..or demented orange man in the big ballroom..or even Reform...nah..its the usual tartan suspect..SCOTLAND!..well who would have thought that wee old Scotland was a threat tae the great disunited kingdom..... and I did note Wales coming in for some sharp criticism..as they become a threat as well...I did say that honeymoon would not last long when dear old Plaid Cymru kicked ass in the election..foreign english ass. ...the ass that masquerades as ..'welsh'....Look out Wales...you will soon be as reviled as Scotland. Why? 'Cos you are not doing as the foreign english invaders want... you welsh b*st*rds!..you are actually putting your own country first...shock horror!....you should be handing over all resources to the foreign english invaders and bowing your head reverentially in respect to the superior sh*te that live next to you..
The fear that what the smart Irish did to the foreign english invaders might happen again galvanises the cesspit into action...and they start screaming nationalism...or separatism..or terrorism! ..It will pull our country apart!..get your St George flag out and march for the United Kingdom!
And what secret plan have we got to deal with this devious malicious sad little nation intent on holding onto their colonies?..we've got.... John !...the great wizard of Oz...pick a card ..any card...now what does it say..independence? pick another card.......
Every day is Xmas for the utterly worthless clown troupe that is the UK Political Caste: it's hierarchy in particular.
English Coco pretends the " provinces " are a mortal threat to ye olde Angloville
Scottish Bozo pretends they will act on this ( wholly bogus ) threat know full well he has no, even notional, intention of doing so; not least because he provided himself a get-out clause in advance
LOOK OUT, HE'S BEHIND YOU! oh no he's not! he's right beside you playing his role in the never-ending, never-funny, WM/Holyrood pantomime
Meanwhile an audience of Yes2IndyRefNeverists clap mindlessly in between mouthfuls of sickly sweet candyfloss & popcorn spiked with soporifics
In addition The National reporter Abbie Garton-Crosbie states that
"the First Minister has taken on responsibilities for independence and the constitution himself."
and then goes on to opine:
"It will be interesting to see how this will work with the First Minister taking on the main role on what should be a defining issue in this term. It certainly signals that he is keen to take responsibility for the issue going forward, rather than panning it off to one of his ministers."
It is an "interesting" take by Ms Garton-Crosbie. The more sceptical might consider this as simply a downgrading of the matter with the intention that the FM has complete control over the extent to which the matter is pursued (or not).
Between 2023 and 2024 Scotland had both a Secretary of State for the Constitution, External Affairs and Culture (Angus Robertson) and a Minister for Independence (Jamie Hepburn). Now these two hapless individuals were the invisible men when it came to doing anything to take action on furthering Scotland's Cause so they really are no loss in that sense.
However, the signals - to me at least - are quite clear.
But no doubt John Swinney will seek to gain credit for saving the public purse a few quid by combining constitutional matters with that of his role as First Minister.
I suppose by the standards he applies, Swinney taking the constitutional brief counts as 'action'. Something for his apologists to point to as 'proof' that he's working on it.
