Description
Scottish Unionist group, A Force For Good, presents our 31st Saturday Street Stall (31-10-20). AFFG Director, Alistair McConnachie speaks about the unhealthy nature of masks, which ensure we breath back...
show moreWe argue that if Boris had stayed in control of the UK, then there is a strong likelihood that we would be out of lockdown by now. We could have been back to normal shortly after the Queen gave her broadcast. This is because he would not have been able to maintain control over all the UK and the devolved assemblies would have seen political benefit in pushing back against the centre.
However, devolving the management of the crisis has compounded and extended the crisis because it has ensured that all the devolved assemblies are trying to out-do each other in enforcing the lockdown.
Why are politicians doubling-down on this strategy? We look at one explanation.
We take another look at the SNP's Anti-Free Speech bill and how the "Justice Secretary" wants to police your dinner table. This is an unprecedented invasion of the right to privacy. The entire Bill needs to be swept away, not just the idea of Dinner Table Convictions, but also the notion of "Protected Characteristics" which should be considered an illegitimate legal concept.
We speak about the American Election, and the relevance of it for freedom of speech on the internet. We are still "suspended" by Twitter, but we point out that Scottish newspapers should be campaigning for us to be re-instated since it was often re-tweets from AFFG which enabled their newspaper stories to promoted around the internet. Without us re-tweeting them to our 30K followers, many of their stories now fall flat on Twitter.
We say to people in the rest of the UK to remember that the whinging Scottish nationalists will never be happy, so please don't think that separation would somehow shut them up. They are always going to complain, and separation would ensure their complaints got even louder! The only way to quiet them down is to marginalise them politically, like they were in the past.
We look at the forthcoming week in British History, and we launch our brand-new Christmas Cards (which are free to Union Supporters)…
