The Grievance Factory

One of the more tiresome aspects of the current Scottish political scene is where a daily outrage has to be tossed to the crowds to keep them in a state of revolutionary eagerness to storm the winter palace. 

There was Boris Johnson turning down any request for a second referendum (and especially not granting the powers to Holyrood to hold referenda whenever they want) by referencing the "once in a generation" comment made by Sturgeon and Salmond. It was "we never said once in a generation" (apart from it being in the White Paper). Foam foam foam!!!

Then Lisa Nandy who, prompted to discuss how to combat the SNP in Scotland said that we should look to places like Quebec and Catalonia where nationalism had been defeated by social justice.
Clearly that meant she favoured locking up Catalonians, after giving them a sound beating. Gerry Hassan went as far as calling it, " fundamental nationalism: a call to brutal uncompromising Labour state repression."
Oh, the foaming at the mooth which followed that.

And so it rolls on... the EU flag is being lowered. An outrage. Let's forget that the SNP campaigned against joining in 1975. Keir Starmer said what? Aux armes, citoyens, Formez vos bataillons, Marchons, marchons !

round and round...
