Years ago I never really "twigged" why the North British Hotel in Princes St, Edinburgh, was actually given that name. Walked past it many times and didn't perceive how politically significant it was from the point of view of some rich politically inspired Tory-Unionist(s) who actually named it that way to emphasise or "rubber stamp" the British presence in Scotland. There are many other examples of this extreme practise in Scotland where these bastards must impose their superiority in some way. Indeed, New Elizabeth House in Edinburgh is a classic case of "Look!!! We, the British govt are here competing with your devolved Scottish govt. We are your masters"! Although Tory morons like Alistair "Union" Jack would never utter such a statement of superiority and intent to usurp our devolved govt. And yet their leaders don't mix with the Scottish public at all and they play to a stage-managed audience full of Tories on the few occasions they visit Scotland, knowing full well they are not welcome!! Needless to say, the North British Hotel changed its name decades ago to The Balmoral Hotel. I guess somebody with a wee bit of savvy realised how inappropriate such a name actually was in a progressive country like Scotland. Independence is normal!! We need to gain our self-determination as soon as practically/politically possible and get away from these fascists.
