Pretty clear that this has arisen again as a result of the Brexit referendum. Scotland was told prior to the vote that UK would stay in the EU. So who misled the Scottish people? Scotland voted two thirds against leaving the EU, as big a majority as one might want for anything. This result has been mainly ignored by the Westminster government which has pressed on as if the UK had voted two thirds the other way.
There is a mountian of evidence about who misled the British people in the Brexit referendum.
Sovereignty is a two way street, isn’t it? If it’s O.K. for the UK as an argument for leaving the EU, then it’s O.K. for Scotland to escape from the “unelected bureaucrats” in Westminster imposing their will on the Scottish people. Start with the unelected House of Lords, then carry on with unelected ministers like Lord Frost and a number of other unelected Ministers in the current Conservative Westminster Government.
I think the splitting up of the UK is a bad thing in a world where multiple crises are facing humanity, but it has become an inevitability given the way that the current UK government has handled leaving the EU. Just look at the broken promises to the Scottish and British fishing industry for a start, which was used as a totemic symbol of the need to leave the EU.
All the flag waving by the Conservatives going on now (which has evil connotations for those who know anything about Oswald Mosley and the British National Party) will just make it all so much worse. The SNP will IMHO (as a non Scot, but an admirer of any politician with integrity, such as Sturgeon) sweep the board in the coming elections.
Tips for Nelson River in the 2.30 tomorrow. 100-1 to 7 places with Skybet and others.
What a great set of selections. I too backed Umbrigado and I made a note of your thoughts about Fiveaftermidnight, intending to bet later. But I forgot. I did not see the race. What do you think Umbrigado will do next? You said that he was aimed at Cheltenham. Isn’t it too close now?
Thanks for explaining that. The camera angles are often misleading. Some courses much worse than others.
What a really well judged selection with Echo Watt. Going from the second last, I thought he’d run his race and would be overhauled, but going over the last he dug very deeply to find enough to hold off his pursuers. Absolutely epic pick!
Brilliant selection. Ryan Mania gave it a superb ride. I felt confident from the off. Hope the rest of the year unfolds like that for you.
It’s been something of a year for you! Great. I shall never forget that King George as it confounded all the critics. Some combination.
Gee Rex was an inspired selection! With a different ride, the race was his, I think. Brilliant, started at 40s.
Yes, the Drasher was a fine pick. I wasn’t sure if you would have backed it, but you drew my attention to it. Good start. Sam’s Adventure was an eventful race with two or three(?) unseating, etc, but he ran well. Of course, I never got your odds. Sub Lieutenant I got at 33s, but then he went out to 66s, so I backed him again (small stakes) and ended up level the day. Not So Sleepy is an old friend of mine but after last time, I decided not to risk him…That’s how it goes. Beware the Bear was Joe’s strong tip, too, but the bear was still waking up from his hibernation. He doesn’t owe me anything after his Cheltenham win in 2019.
Thanks for your selections yesterday.
I am having just the one bet today on Fox le Bel at Thurles. Time he won.
