"I stand here before you today as a proud lesbian woman". Apart from the SNP, few in Scotland believe this self-indulgent, anti-fact, unscientific nonsense. Not one person in that auditorium felt it necessary to challenge such balderdash. And this, in the land of The Enlightenment. 🤦‍♂️ The SNP under its current leadership team is now the biggest obstacle to independence & a better nation. 12 years of post referendum rule & the SNP has: - no strategy for independence, - made no preparations for statehood, & - has no credible leaders for our nation. The SNP has repelled most Scots with their control-freakery centralisation, beige talentless politicians, & cult-like adherence to this kind of nonsense. It has repelled our schemes, our businesses, Yes voters, as well as the soft-No's who were thinking about independence. Any meaningful debate on independence has now been banished from the SNP's main conference & all substance relegated to fringe events. Orwell sums up perfectly, the state of a once great party: "Applied to a Party member, it means a loyal willingness to say that black is white when Party discipline demands this. But it means also the ability to BELIEVE that black is white, and more, to KNOW that black is white, and to forget that one has ever believed the contrary." Scotland is so much more, and so much better, than what the SNP hierarchy is offering. Time to think anew, and act anew. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
