Why saying Yessers are 'extremists' threatens Scotland's democracy
On Monday, Rishi Sunak suggested that pro-independence supporters represent a threat to the security of the UK in a similar manner to Russia, North Korea and Iran.
According to Dr Alan Greene, a reader in constitutional law and human rights at the University of Birmingham, the inclusion of an entirely legitimate and democratic political movement among the ranks of terrorists speaks to the increasing desperation of this Tory government.
“It’s par for the course for this government to conflate anything outside their own narrow understanding of the world with #extremism,” he said.
“It’s obviously absurd to equate Scottish nationalism with a state superpower like Russia.”
