SO the ermine-clad comrade “Lord” George Foulkes has awoken from a comatose state. He was wheeled into the BBC studio to give another foul Unionist utterance, this time that Union is not one of equals.
Foulkes is a buffoon of no known talent or ability. His career consists of being an Iraq war propagandist for Tony Blair and bringing in Vladimir Romanov to Hearts.
However, in making this statement Foulkes inadvertently exposed Scotland’s role as a colony. A vassal state whose resources are plundered and whose democracy is ignored.

He may be an embarrassment to them but is clear Foulkes speaks for the entire Unionist establishment. He is voicing in public what they say in private.
Foulkes has shown that the unelected failures, cronies and donors in the Lords’ plan to roll back devolution. Foulkes’s revelation should galvanise the independence campaign – a kickstart it needs to achieve the restoration of Scotland’s ancient right to self-determination.

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!
