Absolutely! Your end line says it all Jim. These Brexit scumbags are hellbent on forcing home a no deal Brexit no matter what the cost or negative impact. They will say or do anything to get their way - listen eg to the recent disingenuous comments from that little runt Gove!!! Their politics are not even very subtle any more and what angers me so much from the point of view of a citizen of a devolved country that voted overwhelmingly against Brexit from the very beginning, and to "pour petrol on the fire", the Scot population was assured in Scot ref year 2014 by that Bitter Together mob that staying in the EU was a given right in voting No. Now the same Tory bastards/hypocrites are shamelessly preaching an opposing argument!! Also the equal partnership shit that they have falsely preached for long enough is over IMO!!! Picture the scene - there are four partners in a motor vehicle and everyone has chipped in for the hire and the fuel. The driver fails to consult any of his partners/passengers about the direction of travel. And when three of them demur at the speed, the likely destination, or both, the driver merely presses harder on the accelerator. Even though, as they can all now see very clearly, he is proposing to take the vehicle off the end of a pier into a watery grave. This is a not too fanciful analogy of the situation we find ourselves in this week. If you want a classic example of this behaviour, treating partners with utter disdain, look no further than Gove's tweet posted last week at the same time that all the devolved nations prompted the Brit govt to extend the Brexit negotiation period. The Scottish govt used to be merely patronised by Westminster. Now it is ignored from a great height!!!!!!! The mechanisms set up post-devolution supposedly set up to encourage cooperation and consultation are a thoroughly unfunny joke!! The Joint Ministerial Committee was born to facilitate discussion and liaison, supposed to meet monthly - IT NEVER HAS!!!!!! Supposed to be chaired by the PM - IT ISN'T!!! Also remember that one of its few sub-committees, the EU negotiation SC, came into being specifically to discuss the UK's Brexit strategy - its objective was to "agree a UK approach to, and objectives for, Article 50 negotiations", what I'd call a four nations strategy. Not only has that objective never been fulfilled in the smallest degree, but ministers from the devolved administrations have been locked out of every meaningful decision-making process To be clear, an outcome the Scot electorate rejected by a massive majority was actively sought and driven forward by a Tory administration that a Scottish electorate rejected by a massive majority!! Anyone who thinks this resembles democracy should seek urgent optical advice. And it is not just a NO-Deal Brexit, catastrophic enough as that would be, it is not unreasonable to question the sanity level of an administration which, finding itself in the deepest of economic holes, calls for more spades???????????
At every level and on every issue, Scotland finds itself in an ante room when anything of moment is under discussion!! A shocker!! I could go on but I need a rest. For me JUST BRING ON THE DESIRED PUSH FOR A REFERENDUM AND THE INEVITABLE SCOTTISH INDEPENDENCE CELEBRATIONS ASAP!!
