Opinion: I've raised this issue before but it needs action?

UK Politicians continually refer to scottish Independence in a manner that breaches the law?

Supporting Independence is a Democratic Political Right!

Solon (Commentator)
Anyone has a legal democratic right to support Scottish Independence..
Anyone has a right to democratically oppose it...

No one (especially not politicians) have a right to deligitimise its right to exist or its rightful legal status as a political cause in a democracy|
To refer to Scottish Independence support with the suggestion it is somehow illegitimate is an act that is discriminatory and needs challenged?
...gender, sexual orientation, race, nationality,...all are rights ..political freedom within the law in the uk is also a right!

FM🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿@NicolaSturgeon: "I'm asking Parliament to endorse a basic but fundamental principle - that Scotland's future should be decided not by politicians at Westminster who haven't won a GE in Scotland since the 1950s,but instead by all of us who live here and call Scotland home."
@NicolaSturgeon FM🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿@NicolaSturgeon: "It is the sovereign right of the people of Scotland to determine the form of Government best suited to our needs. That is the declaration at the heart of the Claim Of Right and it should be endorsed by this Parliament today."
@NicolaSturgeon FM🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿@NicolaSturgeon: "These trade negotiations are about to be led by a UK Govt that is completely deaf to Scotland's interests, needs, and voice. At no point has any effort whatsoever been made to understand Scotland's different views or accommodate our interests in any way."

How it is possible that @BorisJohnson is being investigated in the USA for potentially being compromised but nobody in the United Kingdom including the #bbcqt #media #Police have investigated this #crime #Brexit the #GeneralElection is days away #ReleaseTheRussianReport
The intrigue over a 'buried' probe into Russian spying deepened last night amid claims in security circles that it contains references to blackmail fears concerning Boris Johnson. #ReleaseTheRussianReport
One expert witness, who gave evidence to the ISC inquiry, has claimed privately to friends that he believes Boris Johnson was 'compromised' by a Russian businessman on a foreign trip in 2016
This is getting crazier 😱 #ReleaseTheRussianReport #GeneralElection2019 #GetJohnsonGone

Now, I've known @murdo_fraser since forever. He's the sort of person who you can disagree with, have a good ol' discussion & part on good terms. He's no snowflake. Not that we have disagreed that often - maybe more now. But, I can't deny, I like him.

So, imagine my surprise...
...when a comment I added to his Facebook page was deleted.

I'm genuinely amazed.

So, I hear you cry, what vile thing did you say?

Sadly, I didn't take a screenshot (on account of how he's not a snowflake & I assumed he'd not censor it but engage instead).

But I can remember!
Ok, so let's start with his post.

@murdo_fraser was trying to make a point about @NicolaSturgeon and #IndyRef2.

Here it is...

Dire prediction time, and one for the Brexiters. [thread]

History is clear: societies tend towards greater complexity. Any society, when it hits a critical point where the cost of complexity is no longer economically sustainable, must contract its infrastructure. 1/
I recognise this sounds like austerity, but that's because austerity has been used as a desperate attempt to stave off contraction following several crises. In reality, unless an economy continues to grow, complexity quickly becomes a burden. 2/
This complexity is caused by growth. To sustain manufacturing, population must be centred in cities. To sustain cities, expensive supply, waste and water services are required. Complexity generates more complexity, until collapse becomes inevitable. 3/

My take on #Election2019, is one that will surprise all #Canadians who will take the #time to read past this #headline. It will be a #long #series of #tweets that will be #purely #honest & straight to the #point.
This #series of tweets will contain #jabs at #voters, the #media & our #political #parties & they are #jabs, that in my own #opinion are #merited. Agree or don’t agree, I won’t care, but it needs to be said to ease my conscience in the lead up to our election!
In 2015, Canada’s #media, declared that #Trudeau & .@liberal_party outflanked the @NDP on leftist policies & for the 1st time in recent history the media supported large deficits & destruction of our country’s finances over a more balanced approach. Let’s stop here for a sec.

Thread👇. There’ve been a lot of misleading comparisons between #Brexit & Scottish #Independence recently. Here’s @ScotNational summary from @KirstyS_Hughes @SCER_eu of her scholarly analysis which puts the record straight #indyref2 thenational.scot/news/17454108.…
“With #Brexit we already see a chaotic, divided politics facing stalemate in the Commons, that some suggest starts to look like a failed state. It’s not obvious that such a political dynamic would be replicated on #independence” @KirstyS_Hughes
“Scotland, if independent, would gain many more powers for the ...Scottish Parliament, compared to the current range of devolved powers. And as an EU member state, it would have a democratic say at the EU council of ministers that it doesn’t currently have”
