They are trying to enforce English law on Scotland & Scots and take away our rights. Their intention is to lock us into the UK (Or Greater England in their eyes) forever.
Had an opportunity to speak in yesterday's Plenary debate on the UK Government's EU Withdrawal Agreement Bill. My contribution focussed purely on clause 38(1), and particularly the effect that that will have if that were to become law.
There is nothing in law that says the Parliament of the UK is sovereign at all. Nothing. It's a convention. And the courts have respected that convention. But the courts have said in opinions that where, in the future, they felt that an Act of Parliament was oppressive, where it was Draconian, where it was clearly ridiculous, then they would reserve the right to themselves to intervene if they saw fit, but they saw that only in extremis. What this clause does is remove the right of the courts to look at any primary legislation drafted by the UK Government.
That is a dangerous course of action.
