Don't bother with the sanctimonious "we jocks are the victims shit" Theo - used before on this board so many times and so tiresome; I'm well beyond this kinda dismissive crap that crops up now and again when the debate doesn't suit some individuals, most of them resident in England!! Leave it out!! You are not talking to a juvenile citizen of Scotland. I'm "long in the tooth" and well accustomed to shitty, disrespectful remarks like this one and when it comes to a "no more discussion point", I'll just hit the ignore button and let other readers decide who is being disrespectful and trying to "stir it up" for whatever reason!!
I repeat, "this secret, covert activity is unacceptable and it looks like it is currently happening in the country I live in"!! One of the huge concerns is the fact that Police Scotland likely have current knowledge of these indiscretions and this is a Police force involved in an investigation of the SNP and political figures who have not been charged with anything. There is a huge question mark attached to the trust in this institution and its impartiality in political matters and security issues. Jim previously called this right re corrupt Brit states and there is so much past historical evidence to bear this out. And how are you so knowledgeable re the activities of any future Scottish govt?????? You don't even live in Scotland and this is uninformed speculation/bullshit, an unsubstantiated opinion set out to denigrate and match up to the poisonous shit/politics that is happening in your own warmongering country for far too long and all these authoritarian brigands in Westminster that are attached to it!! In fact, it is deserving of a response from an appropriate Scot govt MSP who would be more qualified to counter such an extreme remark!! We are nowhere near this level of spying or violating the human rights of our citizens!!! Of course a future independent Scot govt will rightly apply its own security measures to protect its borders/citizens and cover against future security threats etc, but this will be done within reason and will never be close to the toxic activities of current and past Westminster govts that the Scottish people never voted for. We will never vote in a fascist govt up here!! Leave the fairy tales for the books eh!!!
