IT is my opinion that because of England’s gutless Prime Minister, they will face a shutdown by the end of January as a consequence of his lack of leadership!
Isn’t it funny how Douglas Ross thinks all the other three countries in this “union of equals” are all wrong and England is right?
The only reason the PM keeps using the word “caution” all the time is because he and his party know that as soon as the words “closure” or “restrictions” are mentioned, furlough will have to be reintroduced. They desperately do not want to do that again despite it being the right thing to do!

Remember, furlough was only extended previously when it was recognised that England needed it too, and this after the devolved nations who had called for its extension were told there was no chance of this happening!
So there you have it again, re-affirmation that we are not a nation of four equal countries but that things are only approved if it’s found England needs them.
More proof that we need to extract ourselves from this dishonest, disfunctional cesspit that, despite not having a written constitution, likes to think of itself as the gold star of democracy and the mother of all parliaments. Well this is a “mother” who very soon should be a divorcee!

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!
