Another stone in our democracy is being removed

They're trying to wipe Scotland from the map!! The plan to get rid of Scots law is shocking.We have had our own system since before the Treaty of union and they will have a fight on their hands if they try to make us accept English law..same with the plan to make a NEW act of Union...sadly we wont have any input on that ...just like the original Treaty .Hope to hell we get Independence before they decide we cant be a country ,wear tartan or speak gaelic...oops they did that before didn't they so who's to say they wont attempt to impose it again
Time they understood its a TREATY between two countries not DEED of ownership!

Yet another frightening development, another check and balance removed, and still people are not concerned. I just wish that people would get as bothered about this as they were about the Land of Hope and Glory non story.

History suggests that extreme governments can be overthrown but it’s a long and difficult road.

I am frightened that by the time people begin to understand what is happening it will be too late.

But on the other hand I guess that those not criticising are wanting a far right government.

I wonder how exactly they see things progressing?

Thanks for the link Maizie.

Just unbelievable. When some of us talked about 'dictatorship' in last couple of years, we wre laughed at- we are getting closer by the day

It seems to be another step in bringing in a far right administration which is answerable to no one, can give contracts worth millions to their mates, break the law when they choose to and ignore democracy.

Nick Cohen writes about this in the Spectator:

Even conservative voters should be concerned at this maverick government.

I think. ayse, that they'll just construe this as more moaning on our part.

I've never known them to actually defend, or comment on, any of this government's anti-democratic actions...

Why is it that the general population is unable to see the danger of allowing this. Even conservative voters should be concerned at this maverick government.

Thanks?
