When the EEC (as it was then) in/out referendum was held, the SNP wanted Scotland (and Britain) out of the EEC.
Interesting quote from Alex Salmond below.
After being dealt a bloody nose by being blamed for bringing down Callaghan’s Labour Government and ushering in Maggie Thatcher, the SNP struggled in the wilderness during the 1980s.
Nicola was born in Irvine, July 1970 and attended Dreghorn Primary & Greenwood Academy.
Note: That’s Ayrshire, not Glasgow 👍
Nicola said she detested Thatcher growing up yet in one of the many incongruous elements in her life, her parents took advantage of that most Thatcherite of working class policies: buy your own council house
Many Scots are in denial over Barnett, GERs figures, HS2, we export more to the UK, Crossrail, Currency, future of mortgages and pensions, Churchill sending tanks to George Square, the 51st being abandoned and many many more myths, lies and conspiracy theories.
Why?
To create the narrative that England cheats or steals from us.
This is furthered by unpalatable rhetoric by SNP elected politicians who spout knowing lies about our relationship and situation.
They even can’t accept the fact the UK is a country, a unitary state: our country.
Why is independence supporting parties doing well in our elections in Scotland then if it’s all lies?
Well this is where I suggest Flat Earthers, Moon Landing Conspiracy nuts and my favourite the JFK assassination conspiracy theories are useful.
