The fact he didn’t need to read his words like the rest of them is brilliant

[juliancalero]

As a brit he speaks to me more than the PM

[DarkCreed]

Agent 47 taking out the trash. Better run Rishi

[adrianbates]

This man is on point, democracy is under threat

[swimmad]

Does this Scotsman know what a woman is? Or does he have to ask Nicola Sturgeon?

[jbapples]

I dislike the tories. But to suggest it’s conservatives stoking the culture is just false. The SNP have been the worst at it.

[adamross]

Tbh, you can blame Blair for starting this

They need to remember who they work for and where they would be without us

Very well said. And I'm English. People in England need to wake up and stop being so apathetic and ignorant of what's happening. These are some things that our ancestors (the right to strike) fought for, for decades. In addition to this, all the EU laws we implemented - which were brought in to make our lives better.

And we are now just standing back and letting the UK government take all these rights away from us.

Are people in England fine with being governed in a highly autocratic way? Do they want an Autocracy, because we are virtually there already.

All democratic countries seem to be losing their freedom all at the same time.

The Scottish government are not fit to govern 😂😂😂😂I would not trust them to bury a hampster

[liamhall]

Just let the Scottish go, the Irish and the Welsh too, the English have lost so much to Britishness and I think it's time we rediscover it. I have no hate for Scots, Irish or Welsh, but this is like a loveless marriage, it's over, stop dragging it out and just end it so we can go our separate ways and focus on ourselves.

I always think it's funny how the UK is widely considered the more civilized between them and the US but their Parliament is like the WWE. In the US we'd never let all those outbursts happen.

[antonycooper]

Didn't they vote to stay with england

[nonononononononope]

All of this.

Tories know they lose if Scotland gains independence and collateral damage is exactly what ALL of us are to them.

Don't forget that those believing their lies and destroying their own families out of fear are also losing out, despite their unconscious agency.

Clever, see what he did there? He stoked outrage by using a lie as a truth, then used already hated policy, that had nothing to do with his lie, to further invoke more outrage! The UK has not denied Scotland democracy by invoking section 35, it is democracy in action. Scotlands GRR bill conflicts with the UK's Equality Act. Which is why section 35 must be invoked. The GRR bill is also not supported by the majority of people in Scotland, so, if the Scottish Parliament passes a bill that the majority of their countries inhabitants are overwhelmingly strongly against, I would like Mr Flynn to explain his idea of democracy! Or did he confuse dictatorship with democracy?

[davidnichol]

SNP are as divisive down south as they are in Scotland

[gjbell]

Yep! If Starmer supported the striking workers, this government would be gone! KS needs to be outed!!🥊

[AP-v]

This unfortunately shows how Scottish people are being treated as 2nd class citizens

[mrfrisky]

SNP talking about democracy.... despite constantly ignoring the will of the Scottish people...
