DAVID DAVIS IN DEFENCE OF ALEX SALMOND

https://youtu.be/AJjZPRTEZN8

This post covers three subjects:

The career of David Davis;

The case against Salmond and the Scottish Crown Office attempt to gag hi.;

A new law preventing people living in Scotland from speaking freely in their own homes.

David Davis, 72, is from York and South London and grew up on council estates in a one parent family. His A'level grades were not good enough first time round for a place at University so he joined the Territorials (unit 21: artists) to get money for a second run. He obtained an MBA from a Provincial uni.

Yet he was elected to parliament at the age of 39 and became the Minister for exiting the EU. What a guy!

He had pushed for a two-step referendum on Europe. First asking if people wanted to renegotiate and then putting the deal to the people. 

But he was also the guy that let the EU impose their timetable and failed to do any economic assessments of leaving.

In spite of this really brilliant speech, and her being found guilty of misleading parliament, voters will still keep Sturgeon as First Minister. 

No-one in England has any idea what is really going on up in Scotland - the wokeness, the collusion between SNP, civil service and crown prosecutors.

The Crown Office in Scotland (the Crown Prosecution, the Attorney General in the States) is currently (19 March 2021) attempting to remove Salmond's testimony from the Internet with legal action threatened against the Spectator and Guido Fawkes. It's an attack on democracy. Here is the spectator comment.

I can't believe the latest bill just voted through. You can no longer say what you think in your own home. This must get Davis' goat too.

ONE NATION TORYISM AT ITS BEST

The SNP has corrupted political life in Scotland. The system is fine, the personalities have corrupted it. 

"Levelling-up" of the economy is a positive response to address the root cause of regionalism. 

Levelling up socially socially is also needed to recognise and treat the extent of delinquency amongst the people of Scotland in certain districts (such as Glasgow). 

We can say two things: areas of high delinquency (drug abuse, poor health, low educational achievement, sub-standard housing...) are also areas of high support for the SNP; the SNP are in power and have been for ten years but have been focusing on independence instead of tackling the real problems of the people. 

Hence the injection from Westminster of big money directly into the heart of these communities to redress the root causes of the economy and the people in fact. 

This is bottom-up, practical One-Nation Toryism at its best.

SCOTLAND SALMOND AND STURGEON

SCOTLAND SALMOND AND STURGEON

Noone is able to understand this disgraceful abuse of justice and UK resources. Nobody outside Scotland seems to care. Boris's visit last week went unreported. 

All the rest of the UK is interested in knowing is how to stop this preposterous waste of UK money, how to stop Scotland humiliating itself In this way and how to get Scotland back on its feet.

Scotland is dying in front of our eyes and Westminster does nothing for its people. What? Scotland needs a competent and credible opposition to these lunatics. Sturgeon cares o ly about power and lesbian rights, while Scotland burns.

All I personally need to know is that Sturgeon is at the centre of this, she is the local leader, she is responsible for this utter fiasco and the UK PM needs to remove her using a long pair of pinchers.

INDEPENDENCE FOR SCOTLAND?

I'd imagine Sturgeon's supporters see her chicanery in the Salmond Inquiry

as proof of her ability to get what she wants.

Westminster can try a direct financial appeal to the forgotten failures of Glasgow and the West who wish for "independence" (what a misnomer!)  It is a clever move to offer direct support to community groups, through which the pro-Union comm can be channeled.

But Westminster should also be surreptitiously withdrawing its assets. Keep the commitment to extend levelling up on paper only.

And the govt in waiting need to urgently show how they will pay their divorce settlement, set up their central bank, manage their new currency; how they will handle the rights of Scots abroad to return and protect English folk living in Scotland; how they will construct the new physical border (or perhaps rehab the existing wall) man it, what processes to run it; what FTA do they set their sights on and how to achieve that (or will WTO terms be acceptable)?

There is no evidence that separatists have thought about any of the real world concerns to do with life as an independent country. Nor have they shown they understand, but reject, the benefits Scotland receives from other regions of the UK - benefits but little in the way of contributions these days, it must be said (compare with Scotland's glorious past).

The quality of supporters of the SNP make it hard to have a reasoned debate. Winning hearts is a real challenge. The EU do it by taking over committees and industrial boards, offering subsidies, strengthening legislation, stuffing them with EU stooges, rewriting charters to follow EU objectives.

If a government admits the idea of "independence" for a region, then it finds itself having to defend inclusion. Not to recommend Spain's handling of secessionists, which was to lock up local leaders on charges of sedition.

WEE KRANKIE'S REFERENDUM

WEE KRANKIE'S REFERENDUM

And who is going to pay the £20,000,000 cost of Wee Krankie's proposed referendum? Noone can imagine an independent Scotland, even it it were a fit country, which it isn't.

 

If Scottish government Ministers hold an unofficial referendum in breach of the UK constitution, they should be personally surcharged for the cost of it.

 

But the UK government does need an alternative plan for a meaningful vote on Scotland's post-Brexit status. The key to this is to follow the same approach as the EU did with the UK's negotiations; no talks about the referendum itself else until the Scottish government has agreed with the UK:-

 

1. How it would take on and discharge its share of the existing  UK national debt, including the establishment of its own currency and Central Bank, so that neither the Scottish government nor Scotland's banking system will have any right of financial support or guarantee from the rest of UK.

 

2. How it would protect the right of Scottish people living in the rest of the UK, including (as in UK elections) the right to vote in referendums if they lived within the country anytime in the 15 years.

 

3. How the border would work in practice, including the prior actual construction on Scottish land at Scotland's expense of the buildings and lorry-parking necessary for the operation of their own immigration  and customs controls, which would become necessary if an independent Scotland, at any point in the future, chose to have laws or regulations inconsistent with an open UK border.

 

If the SNP can convince Scottish voters to re-elect them yet again, in full knowledge of what leaving the UK is likely to mean, then at that point - but not before - they will have a strong democratic case for a second and final referendum by the current generation of Scots. But to most Scotch-Watchers  it is a handful of deluded power-seekers, deluding a people looking for an explanation of their historic failure and how to restore achievement and pride.
