Objection Sustained


This must be some kind of mistake.

Because we’re sure you’ve spent the last decade telling us that just couldn’t happen.

Nicola Sturgeon was certainly saying it at least as early as March 2017, which is seven and a half years ago.

And in May of that year, when Theresa May had called a snap general election.

She was also saying it in April 2019, when Theresa May was still Prime Minister.

And in October of the same year, when he’d been replaced by Boris Johnson.

She was still saying it as recently as November 2022, by which time Boris Johnson had been replaced by first Liz Truss (remember that zany month?), then Rishi Sunak.

And she was still saying it the next month, looking ahead to fifth UK Prime Minister who would apparently be unable to sustain the refusal.

Of course, not long after that Sturgeon was history. But as her loyal deputy, you’d been echoing her words the whole time.

Like here in April 2019.

And here in February 2020.

And here in September 2020.

And here in March 2021.

(The same month Pete Wishart was saying it in Parliament, after saying it on Twitter and on his blog for some time. After all, by then it had already been “inevitable” for several years.)

And here in May 2021.

And every time the SNP won another election and another mandate, you told us that this was the point when the UK government would crumble.

Through most of that time, of course, Wings Over Scotland has been telling its readers – for example in these pieces from more than four years ago – that Westminster’s refusal very much WAS sustainable, and that it WOULD be sustained, and that the SNP didn’t really believe otherwise any more than we did.

And of course we were right, and now Keith Brown is finally, belatedly admitting what Wings told you all along and what the SNP and its tame pet bloggers and commentators vilified us for. But don’t panic, folks, because he’s got a new plan! And here it is.

But will that case be “unanswerable” in the same way the refusal to grant a Section 30 was “unsustainable”? We only ask because it’d be handy to know before Keith and his worthless incompetent chancers of colleagues waste another decade of our lives.
