UNIONIST VIEW OF SCOTTISH INDEPENDENCE
Another wide-ranging hour with AFFG Director, Alistair McConnachie, including the importance of stick-to-it-iveness. Why the British government is in danger of losing its authority in Scotland – because it is losing its relevance every time it devolves the practice of government to the devolved administration.

Thankfully, the opposition parties are starting to complain about Nicola Sturgeon's daily party political broadcast, because for her it is simply about maintaining her dominant profile for as long as she possibly can!

It's time to take that platform off her, otherwise the cult of Mother Sturgeon will continue to grow as a consequence of her omnipresence. The British government missed a chance for a united approach to the Covid Crisis, and instead it devolved the crisis which ensured several different 'solutions'.

To get the High Street back up and running will involve serious policies including basically abolishing business rates.

Little children should not be scared of what's happening, and adults shouldn't be scaring them, since young children are simply not at risk. It is the over-80s with underlying health issues who need to be careful.

We report on our Union Bridge activism which made "a profound statement of substance in the face of SNP nihilism." And how the Bridge itself is going to be renovated and made stronger – a metaphor for our work here at AFFG.

We urge everyone to get organised by purchasing our Union Jack Flags, and UJ Umbrellas, badges, T-shirts and Hoodies. If you love Britain, it's important to have symbols on hand to show people, especially if you need to do some pro-UK campaigning at very short notice.

We're pleased to note that Boris's idea of British Cabinet meetings in Edinburgh is also our policy suggestion number 13 in our Wee Book, available here for only a fiver:

Growing opposition to the new anti-free speech law is discussed. We use the example of a pro-JK Rowling poster being removed by Network Rail in Waverley Station. Are there enough people in Scotland who can see through these laws; even though too many of our politicians have already bought into these laws in principle. Unless they can rethink it, too much of it will continue to go through because we have not yet had the "revolution of the mind" to overthrow this mentality.
We oppose the idea of 'protected characteristics' under law; it leads to a legal code which ensures you have to step lightly around some people's sensitivities and not others; and leads to people being afraid to speak and act in certain ways; constraining debate in and of itself, without any more laws even being necessary…this week in British History and much more!
