In Scotland our esteemed first minister has been crowing about the peaceful and democratic referendum campaign.
Rubbish. The campaign was marred by violent thuggery from the Yes side.
We were told this would be a once in a lifetime chance to vote in Scottish independence. Since losing the SNP have never missed an opportunity to promote a second go. If we do not have another referendum shortly, it will only be because they think they may lose again.
Meantime we have an ethnic or racial group vilified for everything which goes wrong in this country. Opposing views are howled down. Opponents abused physically and on line. The state, under a nationalist majority, seek control over our children through the appointed person scheme. If SNP supporters were to don brown shirts the situation could be confused with the situation in Germany between the wars.
For some reason, even though a majority still oppose independence, they still vote for the nationalists. That is both illogical and dangerous. I pray my fellow Scots see reason before irreparable damage is done to the UK.
