Just like he's simultaneously doing nothing AND destroying the country.

Where does this prediction (criminalising anti-British unionist ideas) come from? Never even heard of it from tin foil hatters.
After a while bloggers run out of ideas and over reach.

Ha ha ha ha.

I wonder if Zack Polanski's alarm bells are ringing yet.

Quite a distillation of pure nationalism there too. Irregular verb- You do irrational things like make it harder to trade with your biggest market. We, er, stand out as rational.

The starting point is that it's illegal for Scotland to hold an independence referendum with Westminster agreement. Which sounds pretty outrageous when put like that, and gives Murphy and co a certain amount of mileage. The trouble is that literally every government in the EU (to which Murphy is strongly committed, and sees as a reason for Scotland to break with rUK) has exactly the same policy as regards separatism.

So he needs to up the ante. And here he is. With the usual one way bet dynamics where if it doesn't happen, he and his pals can claim they stopped it happening.
