“I feel a profound sense of urgency” said Rishi Sunak in a ‘wide-ranging’ and wild speech today. And from gender activists hijacking children’s sex education to cancel culture, vocal and aggressive fringe groups are trying to impose their views on the rest of us. His list of supposed threats to the UK includes pro-peace activists, “cancel culture”, “gender activists” and, of course, “Scottish nationalists”. Thrown into this hideous and terrifying mix is of course “Scottish nationalists.”It’s a wildly stupid, offensive and dangerous idea to put out there – but par for the course for the Tories. But, as Mark E Thomas has noted there are other factors going on here other than, er, comparing Scottish nationalists with terrorist states, he was also making a play by the venue he chose.
