So the Scot Labour MSP, Alex Rowley, is advocating "Home Rule" as a solution to the constitutional problems we're faced with. He's a century too late! Home Rule was proposed for both Ireland and Scotland in the 19th and early 20th centuries and got nowhere fast. The reason is simple: most English people aren't interested or see no need for it. Before Rowley starts even trying to persuade Scots, he should have a bash at his English colleagues. It was mainly the attitude of his predecessors in Parliament who scuppered the earlier proposals a century ago. They don't seem to have changed much since then. IMO the call for "Home Rule" is merely "spitting in the wind" of time as the political culture has moved on. It's time Rowley recognised and accepted this rather than try to go back to the failed concepts of a bygone era. I'll stick to the latest concept that a consultative referendum for Scotindy is possibly the route that Nicola and Angus Robertson will opt for without this overrated Section 30 approval from the Boris clown. All the unionist cohorts getting in a stooshie re it being illegal huhhh!! Note the referendum that took us out of the EU was actually a consultative referendum!!! Also a Section 30 agreement signed by Johnson, highly unlikely btw, could be declared illegal by Westminster if they didn't like the result - it would finally cause an aggressive retaliation from Scots if they tried it, but note Johnson signed the NI agreement, accepted by Westminster, and then decided to disregard it. Therefore no sure way to get a legal referendum through Westminster if Johnson is opposed to it. Also worth noting the Scottish people are sovereign, and their will is what matters in international law. Johnson and his cabal and a host of powerful vested interests will try to stop the Scottish people having their independence, but they will fail. The Scottish people will succeed!
