Westminster ignores the Scottish Parliament (what a shock!馃檮)
About a month ago I posted about the Scottish parliament voting overwhelmingly against accepting the EU withdrawal bill in its current form as it has a clause in it that will allow Westminster to take certain devolved powers back. Today the bill was passed in Westminster with the power grab clause still in it. They spent a massive 15 minutes talking about Scotland. The Labour party who's Scottish branch had voted against it in the Scottish Parliament and who's leader even called the clause a power grab decided to abstain on the vote (except Dennis Skinner who sticks to his principles). Even the most bitter unionist liar Gordon Brown has condemned it and said they are breaking up the union. I'm furious but at the same time can't help but laugh as I look forward to the newsnight specials and whatever other tv shows ask how did we lose Scotland? After deception upon deception. After taking and taking. How did we push Scotland to leaving the union?
Just seen this and thought I might add it on. The SNP's Westminster leader Ian Blackford asked the speaker what they could possibly do in the House of Commons to show how hated this will be in Scotland. After this a Tory MP can be heard shouting "suicide". What a lovely attitude.
