Scottish Independence, yay or nay?

Lisa Cameron, the SNP MP who defected to the Conservative party on Thursday, said she and her family have been forced to go into hiding in Scotland after she was threatened with being “bricked” in the street.

 

Cameron, her husband and their two daughters have moved to a secret location in the Scottish countryside after the MP was emailed threats of violence, including “I hope someone throws a brick at you in the street”, “I hope you burn” and “Think your mental health is bad now – wail til you see what abuse and nastiness yer [sic] going to have to put up with”.

 

The former NHS psychologist, who was elected in 2015, resigned from the SNP on the eve of its party conference in Aberdeen – hours before a selection meeting was due to choose the next candidate for her constituency of East Kilbride, Strathaven and Lesmahagow. She had been facing a challenge from SNP staffer Grant Costello, who was supported by both Scottish government minister Christina McKelvie and current and former East Kilbride MSPs Collette Stevenson and Linda Fabiani.
 

In the interview, Cameron said that because she repeatedly opposed the SNP’s “progressive” political positions, she had been blanked by party colleagues in the Commons’ tea room and corridors and was forced to seek help from a counsellor and her GP after experiencing panic attacks and loneliness.

They’ve into Tartan Tories, but independence is still independence.

 

You have to give yourself the chance of building something better than the absolute fucking turd that the UK has become collectively. Get yourself out of being guilt tripped into voting for colossal colostomy bags like Keir Starmer every few years.

The politicians up here aren't any better. I suppose we could have a fairer voting system but it would still be the same clowns running the shop.

 

The independence movement haa fractured now anyway, there's no chance of it happening for another generation at least IMO.

Funding cuts really starting to bite in Scotland

 

 


That’s fucking disgusting. Is there any more info on this or contact information so I can voice my displeasure and then definitely avoid it.
