Fuck me, it’s got to be pretty miserable being British at the moment?
It’s not like the Tories were doing anything to better their lives, but hold crap Labour are definitely on world record pace speed-running Fascism any%.
Even more miserable being Scottish knowing we could have escaped all this in 2014.

Our devolved parliament is more left wing than Westminster but it has limited powers so our sanctuary is minimal.
There’s also the times where Westminster has ruled on things that should be devolved and when it has overruled Scotland.

To think the message against independence was something like “keeping the union strong”, while at the same time the message for brexit was “better alone” or some shit like that.
Not all that surprising, typical Conservative double-speak (or is it talking out of both sides of their mouth?).
We had something similar here in Australia in the early 2000s, when we voted on a referendum on whether to ditch the Monarchy and become a Republic:
All of the Stay/Remain advertising focused on the message that “this [proposed] Australia’s Not The One”, and inferring that we could have another referendum in the near future with a different form of revised Government. Suffice to say, that was utter bullshit - and we haven’t revisited the topic since.
By then again, we wouldn’t even pass a referendum to allow the Aborigines a Voice in Parliament a few years ago - so we’ve probably rolled backwards also.
Aye, but what kin ya dae?

Discuss these things with your friends and family. Get them on board. Don’t be combative, ask questions, provide information, suggest solutions. Let them think and mull things over, changing views takes time and self reflection
Speak up when you see injustice. Many people are scared to be the first voice to speak up, but it’s surprising the support you can get once you do.
Beat the bastards.
Cheers mate
