The culture of lies and lying (and moral corruption) in Scottish hyper-nationalist government today

It is not just Russia, Belarus or Donald Trump's Republican extremists that are afflicted by the collapse of democratic ideals. Scotland is too. The culture of lies and lying is everywhere now in this government of moral degenerates. Scotland is being run by the sort of clannish, half-brained wannabe-boss-class losers that once ran “Jim Crow” Alabama. They have to be stopped. Sturgeon must be put on trial for organising what amounts to a civil service lynch-mob.

The most important thing to understand about the SNP is that they are a bunch of HATERS. No issue is important to them than their own self-interest. They hate each other as much as they hate the rest of us who do not bow down to their self-proclaimed political divinity.

Nicola Sturgeon herself confessed to Mandy Rhodes, in a book called "Scottish National Party Leaders" (2016), that hatred has been "the motivation for my entire political career" (p. 358). This is an essentially negative position, and it springs from a psychological rather than a political root. They are mostly frustrated egotists who find normal socialisation difficult due to the fact that the world by and large does not take them at their OWN estimation of their value. All their geese are Concordes (Scottish built, of course).

I have written a book which describes the threats to the rule of law springing from their hatred (both self- and social-) at any restraint on their power, and their desperation to be in control of every aspect of all of OUR lives. The rule of law depends ultimately RECIPROCITY between the rulers and the ruled. Sturgeon’s self-obsession is a mortal threat to the main legal principle which Scotland has lived under since the seventeenth century.

The book is called "The Justice Factory: Can the Rule of Law Survive in 21st Century Scotland?" (Ian Mitchell, 2020) The Foreword was written by Lord Hope of Craighead, ex-Deputy President of the UK Supreme Court and the Professor of Public Law who is author “Constitutional Law of Scotland” wrote the Introduction to Part II. It is not a party political argument, and has been endorsed by both Ian (“Stone of Destiny”) Hamilton QC and Adam Tomkins, the Tory MSP who is also Professor of Constitutional law in the University of Glasgow.

It is an as yet untold story, but a very, very important. You can support the cause of ridding Scotland of political haters by circulating the book as widely as you can. Details here (available on Kindle too): https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1981993401?ref_=pe_3052080_397514860 

Here below is an article about the book and the problem in Scotland:
