I perfectly understand why people rightly point out that comparisons between groups now and the Nazis is upsetting and that the Holocaust is the most abhorrent crime in human history.
But history must not be repeated. And the Nazis didn’t start with death camps.
Now I’m not for one minute saying current political parties will end up with genocide, not at all.
But what we do need to be vigilant about is nationalism.
Go to Auschwitz.
I have.
Once you see what happened there you’ll never wave a flag or sing a patriotic song again.

Scotland under the SNP.
Since Nicola Sturgeon became FM, Scotland has descended into an authoritarian nightmare.
English commentators and colleagues may think this is hyperbole…
But is it?
A Short THREAD
One of the first things Nicola Sturgeon did when she became FM was to silence dissent among her rivals and allies in her own party, the SNP.
Seriously, talk out of line and you are toast.
You can bullshit about #indyref but not Chief Mammy.

F for Fake:
Sturgeon and the SNP deceive Scots.
They have overseen a litany of failures, scandals, hypocrisy and alleged corruption yet nothing happens.
Ask SNP why?
A Thread.
Nicola Sturgeon promised when she became FM to be judged on Education. So let’s take a look at that first.

The SNP’s relationship with Europe.
A thread.
Let’s travel back to 1975.
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.

A thread:
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.

It seems to me people are deliberately ignoring the differences between elections and referendums.
Referendums are single issue votes that have seismic impacts. Massive change is enacted if change wins.
That is why they cannot be every few years.
Uncertainty kills economy.
Refusing to accept the results of referendums is undemocratic.
The position of the SNP/Yes re: Brexit is disingenuous.
A Yes vote in 2014 would have seen Scotland out of the EU.
SNP didn’t campaign for Remain EU. They spent more on a by-election than the Remain vote.
