Johnson will say no, so it’s time to enact Plan B
In 2017 Nicola Sturgeon went cap-in-hand like Oliver Twist begging weak Theresa May for “permission” to hold an independence referendum. “Now is not the time,” was the reply. The country had to wait until the Brexit process was complete.
In the General Election of 2019 Sturgeon said a vote for the SNP was a mandate for another independence plebiscite. The SNP won and again Sturgeon then beseeched the blond buffoon to “allow” another referendum. This was refused. This time the fairytale was that 2014 was a “once in a lifetime” event which all sides had agreed to.
Fast forward to 2021 and the SNP has won yet another election. There is a pro-independence majority in Holyrood. The Unionists tried to game the system to stop this via tactical voting. The Tories’ only policy was no to another referendum.
Nicola Sturgeon is insisting that she will again meekly enquire if Westminster will consent to a new referendum at some point when Covid-19 is dealt with. The SNP flunkeys insist Boris Johnson will have no choice but to say yes. He has already said no. Doing the same thing over and over an expecting a different result is how Einstein defined insanity.
SNP MSP John Mason has already said that it would not be “the end of the world” if there was no new vote for ten years. This will be seized upon by the Unionists to deny democracy.
In supporting the right of Kosovo to break away from Serbia the UK government sent an opinion to the International Court of Justice. In it the UK government argued that the domestic law of Serbia preventing independence was irrelevant. This was because the right of nations to secede was enshrined in international law which took precedence over laws of the state.
This should now be the Plan B to independence that the Scottish Government should be following. Completely cut the Westminster Tory brigands out of the process. This and a mass campaign of civil disobedience in tandem will achieve the desired outcome.
