The lad's trying and maybe when he realises just what a trap devolution is he might go further..one can hope. Leave him to think on't..but Swiney and co ?...a lost cause..
I don't see devolution as a treadmill just a trap that we fell into by agreeing to abide by it. It's a whip that crashes down on us if we dare to try anything the foreign english don't allow cos it's 'devolved' Not allowed to remove nuclear warheads from our land....foreign. soldiers..american... on our land without us knowing... ....not being in control of immigration or who the Foreign Office dump on Glasgow.. having foreign politicians..Trump ...invited to OUR land without asking us .not knowing who the foreign english government is in cahoots with....if Stammer goes to war with Russia..so do we.....ad infinitum. But we can put a tax on plastic bags without asking..I think....( need to check up on that..the rules might have changed)
We are a sad wee abused colony being dragged along by an english government out of control..even the english people are taking them to court....as council workers tear down the english flag ( St George) as being 'too divisive.'....fingers crossed that westminster will implode..then we can escape......apart from all out war I see no escape route...

That's because they rarely if ever think off these things in any context other than electioneering.
