BETTER Together were back together today, all while the Tories had a go at Nicola Sturgeon for daring to bring up the topic of independence.
Alistair Darling and Ruth Davidson were speaking at the Union and Unionism event in London, hosted by Policy Exchange.
It had quite a list of speakers, and we've picked out nine of the most ridiculous quotes from the day.
In no particular order...
1. Michael Gove: "Another feature of Unionism, the explicit embrace of diversity has strengthened since Brexit"
It hasn't. Brexit has emboldened racists. And for a member of the party responsible for the "hostile environment" approach to immigration to say diversity is a feature of Unionism is pretty astonishing.
2. Tory chairman Brandon Lewis: "One of the things I find ironic is the SNP arguing to break up one union with huge historic links while arguing to stay in another"
One of the things we find ironic is the Tories arguing to break up one union with huge historic links while arguing to stay in another.
3. Jim Murphy: "I am not, never have been and never will be a Unionist"
Yes, Jim Murphy actually said he wasn't a Unionist. He simply backs the Union (and shouts about it while standing on a milk crate). Not a Unionist. Nope.
4. Arlene Foster: "Unionism is at its best when it's confident, outward-looking and welcoming. Nationalism is by its nature narrow"
Perhaps the DUP leader could inform the Government her party is propping up on the values of being outward-looking and welcoming? Someone seems to have missed the memo.
5. Professor Colin Kidd: "You can only get to grips with Scottish politics when you understand that if you scratch any Unionist you'll find a nationalist, and the nationalists aren't largely out and out nationalists – what they'd like is independence with the Barnett formula!"
Among other things, what we'd like is to be free of the UK's toxic policies, and to be ruled by a party we vote for!
6. William Shawcross: "I would argue that the success of the Union is partly down to the success of constitutional monarchy"
The official biographer of the Queen Mother came out with this. In other news, less than half of Scots support the monarchy, according to a new poll.
7. Ruth Davidson: "We remain far too London-centric as a nation"
Said at a speech on the Union in London. The Scottish Tory leader realised the irony, but that doesn't make it any less amusing – and telling of why it's unlikely things will change.
8. Alistair Darling: "I wonder why you're still a Tory"
Ruth Davidson: "I wonder why you're still in the Labour party"
Reflecting on each other's politics, the Better Together duo seemed to believe there wasn't as much difference between them as their party allegiances would suggest. That might be because their party allegiances, when it comes down to it, aren't all that different...
9. Ruth Davidson: "Too many people feel that the Union is something projected on to them."
Davidson got dangerously close to the truth with this statement – they feel this way for a reason. For example, a certain UK power grab...
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
