Many people in the Yes community believe the SNP have left it too late to call IndyRef2. Others are worried that there is no plan other than to repeatedly ask politely for permission to hold another referendum, while others support the notion of holding off until the polls show a majority support because we cannot afford to lose a second time.

Whatever your view, the one thing I find astonishing is that only 50% of Scots are in favour of Scotland becoming a normal country. Surely more than that can see the direction the UK is heading in? If they truly believe that is the best Scotland can hope for, what will change their minds?

The UK Government is doing what Donald Trump has done in the USA. Step by step, testing the waters, they are gradually taking the UK towards a truly fascist future.

The latest plan is to disenfranchise millions of voters by insisting that they produce photo ID at polling stations. This is aimed at the poorest people in society who are the ones least likely to have photo ID, and are the least likely to vote Tory. This move is clearly intended to ensure that the Tories remain in power.

Even worse, if rumours are to be believed, the Home Office is apparently seeking sites where they can set up internment camps.

Internment camps? Just who are they planning to intern? If that thought doesn’t worry you, it really ought to. And even if it is only a rumour and turns out not to be true, it is equally worrying that it is a believable rumour. That shows just how extreme the UK Government is.

Surely we can do better than this?
