I ASSUME that R French is a man, and the start of his letter looked as if it was going to be interesting. However he turns out to be just another delusional Englishman. Oh sorry, he doesn’t identify as being English, but as British! But let me answer some of the points he raises. Her Majesty the Queen, is not just the Queen of England or the UK but had a separate coronation as Queen of Scots and as such is the crowned head of state for Scotland, so can’t be considered a foreign national as Mr French implies if Scotland gains independence. However, there is little or no debate here that I know of about being a republic and abolishing the monarchy, and if so there would have to be a discussion and then presumably a referendum at some time in the future. The assertion that she will have to get rid of Balmoral is premature and hypothetical. Likewise his plans for Holyrood Palace.

Boris Johnson s English nationalist government has been blamed for rising support for independence BORIS Johnson’s “anti-Scottish” administration is driving support for independence, according to former Welsh Labour first minister. Carwyn Jones warned the Prime Minister that the Union will break up within a decade if he continues to deny the democratic will of Scots. “Boris Johnson is head of a government that is very English nationalist in its outlook,” he told Constitutionally Sound, the podcast by Edinburgh University’s Centre on Constitutional Change. Very anti-Scottish, actually, and anti-everybody else from my perspective. If you keep on saying no to democrats you give succour to people who are far more extreme.
