Is Johnson campaigning for Scotland to leave the UK?

By (user no longer on site) OP     over a year ago

During a visit to Scotland, Johnson reportedly said:

“We’ve transitioned away from coal in my lifetime, thanks to Margaret Thatcher who closed so many coal mines.”

He then repoortedly laughed before adding: “Across the country we had a big early start and we’re now moving rapidly away from coal all together."

Then he said: “I thought that would get you going.”

Drink has nothing to do with it. His comment "I thought that would get you going" is a perfect example of what Tom McTague describes in an excellent piece he wrote for The Atlantic (June this year) as being Boris knowing exactly what he is doing when making comments such as this.

It does sound like it, doesn't it?

Johnson also refused to meet Scotland's leader while he was up there. Snubbing their leader feels like another push to try and get Scotland to leave.

Other than the hazy memory of the British empire, rule Britannia and all that, why does anyone still want Scotland part of the UK? I will make no secret of my desire for scottish independence but we are constantly told we are too wee, too stupid for this along with the old chestnut of being subsidised by England. So really, why does England want to hold on for dear life to Scotland?

It`s all about the Royal connection. The Stone under the throne. The Holidays in Balmoral. The Scots Guards. Nuclear Submarine building. The Edinburgh Tattoo. Prince Charles owns a kilt. Camilla likes to sit on a haggis when she gets a bit broody.

I`m part Scottish, from Craigellachie.

There may come a time when Scotland becomes truly independent, but not for a good few decades.

Hard to believe people are still using the pit closures and miners strikes as political greivenace after almost 40 years and 30 years since Margaret thatcher resigned.

Those with their rose tinted glasses don't seem to understand that miners worked in some of the most horrendous and dangerous working environments. They tended to have short life spans and many suffered long term serious health problems.

If they were to recommence deep mining tomorrow how many would of you would encourage your kids to aspire to work hundreds of feet underground in confined and dangerous mine shafts?

But hey have a dig at Boris anyway why don't you.

You make very good points and the reality is not many these days would want to do that job. I suppose the grievance for many in these areas is when the mines shut there was little in the way of work and a generation was stuck on the scrap heap.

If the SNP thought they had a chance of winning a referendum they would have done so.

The majority of Scottish people want to remain part of the United Kingdom, it really is as simple as that.

The SNP are a failing party that won an election so what does that tell you about the credibility of the opposition in Scotland.

On the one hand Johnson doesn't want to be written in the history books as the buffoon who caused the break up of the Union.

On the other hand he must be aware by now that there is no way he ever gets written up as being a success story. Also he doesn't give a flying fuck about keeping the Union together as such.

The clincher has to be that with the Scottish seats removed from the UK parliament, while ever the first past the post electoral system continues there is no way to ever gather a majority against the tories (not even a coalition could manage it). So really, breaking the Union would be the ultimate way of gerrymandering the electoral map to ensure the tories, and Johnson, stay in power for ever.

Just because we were not extracting coal in the UK, doesnt mean we had to import coal for other places.

It appears to be a good soundbite, we closed mines and therefore helped with CO2 emissions.

Really what happened was cheaper coal imports made the coal industry in the UK not fiscally viable.

If anyone can spin the closure of the mines it’s this guy.

What happened was Thatcher closed coal mines to crush the unions. Devastating many communities in the process.

And for some reason, Johnson thought it was a good idea to joke about that. Sounds like he doesn't want those red wall votes any more.

A generalisation adnittedly but I don't think "England" cares much one way or the other whether Scotland achieves independence. It's primarily the politicians and sections of business who are trying to maintain the status quo.

Joe public barely thinks about it as it would affect life in England hardly at all.

46% would oppose independence.

It’s a lot of wishful thinking on the part of many people who would like to see the back of him, but from what I have observed, the apathy has set in for many voters, we are actually happy with mediocre governance, as long as it doesn’t affect the everyday guy too much, we are happy to be treading the water so to speak.

Indeed. Most English voters don't really care either way.

However, as I've repeatedly said, any UK government - is going to fight to hold onto Scotland for dear life.

Labour need our votes for a working majority in Westminster - though they fucked that right up over a decade ago.

The Tories do not give a fuck about any of the people of Scotland - even the 30% of them that are daft enough to vote for them.

All they are bothered about is that an independent Scotland will mean the UK loses a third of its landmass, all the territorial water surrounding it, a place to park its nuclear deterrent and - crucially, given climate change - an absolute shitload of fresh water.

As for Boris - keep on talking shite, you moronic cunt. LOL

"Sorry if facts bore you......"

Facts!

When people repeat the same old same old same old of course it gets boring.

Perhaps you did not notice that the UK left the EU - another fact.

Perhaps you did not realise that Scotland voted overwhelmingly to stay in the EU - another fact.

Things change - you can keep going back to a vote from years ago if you like but, it gets boring.

This same ground has been covered so often on here and everywhere else that it is a discussion that is not worth having.

You are welcome to your opinion and I respect it.

It is not necessarily correct (and neither is my opinion).

What's everyone's thoughts on the majorority Shetlanders voting to leave the EU? Will Scotland grant them independence so that they have the chance of becoming a very wealthy crown dependency?
