I listened to a radio report saying that the Brit govt Foreign Sec, James Cleverley, had ordered Brit diplomats to "keep an eye" on SNP govt ministers travelling and meeting overseas politicians and naturally assumed it was a satirical spoof report. Not so!! This story is true in the fact Brit diplomats are instructed to accompany Scot govt ministers and keep watch in case they try to undermine the UK. Those Tory defenders of free speech, those champions of Ukrainian self-determination, those self-proclaimed standard bearers of democracy turn out to be hypocrites/liars/bullies. IMO this is remarkably similar to the past practises of the Soviet Union; so I suggest we should now refer to any Brit diplomats who go along with this authoritarianism as KGB (Kingdom of Great Britain) minders!!
