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!
