@FreddieBailey96 How can you seriously say this government is doing nothing? The UK has the most successful vaccine roll out in Europe, made possible by HMG rejecting EU joint vaccine procurement scheme. 844,285 jabs in a single day isn’t carrying on as normal! What would you do differently?
@Schnitzel1972 @FreddieBailey96 Why shouldn’t we have a say in how we’re governed? Especially on membership to an institution that has change so drastically since we voted to join and has such an influence over our lives. It’s right and fair. We live in a democracy.
@Schnitzel1972 @FreddieBailey96 And this increase in support for independence seems to be driven by young people. My theory is, many of these still haven’t accepted the result of the EU referendum and think that somehow independence will allow them to rejoin the EU. Many of them Labour voters too I’d imagine.
@Schnitzel1972 @FreddieBailey96 Yes I do. I’m not denying there’s increasing support for independence under Tory watch. I’m suggesting that they’re a pro union party, and that I haven’t seen any deliberate actions that might jeopardise it.
@SaorAlbannach This is the poll and article I was referring to, dated two days ago. Maybe there are daily polls about this subject with the farce going on in Holyrood at the moment!
@FreddieBailey96 Increase in support for independence from all nations seems to be driven by young people. I’d guess many of these still haven’t accepted the result of the EU referendum and think that somehow independence will allow them to rejoin the EU. Many of them Labour voters I’d imagine.
@FreddieBailey96 The latest poll shows support for Scottish independence has collapsed in the wake of the Salmond enquiry. There will always be a level of support for independence, but the tories certainly aren’t actively aiming to break up the UK.
@KevinLeeEssery @FreddieBailey96@BorisJohnson There is much to criticise about this government’s handling of the pandemic. But I was addressing @FreddieBailey96’s absurd suggestion that the Prime Minister shouldn’t be allowed to do what he was elected to. Someone needs to challenge the absolute hogwash that this guy spouts!
@FreddieBailey96 By which measures do you say @BorisJohnson failed as Mayor? The falls in both murder rate and knife crime during his mayoralty? The fall in road deaths? Half a million new jobs and 100,000 affordable homes were created during his time. How’s Khan doing?
England have just beaten Italy and there’s not a single mention of it on @BBCNews app. The only mention @MailOnline is about how many players took the knee. The state of main stream media reporting in this country is dire. Can’t we celebrate the successes of this great nation?
