The Scotsman, perhaps not surprising us, is out of touch with what many people think is ‘Draconian‘.
A poll this morning in the Herald, found:
An Ipsos MORI poll on 11th October found 61% in favour of the even more Draconian banning all travel into and out of the country with only 21% opposed.
As for Nicola herself being accused of being the Draconian one, only three weeks ago that nice Welsh Labour leader, Mark Drakeford, was threatening to ban the English from Wales! Mind you, ‘Drakeford?’ I wonder what that name is all about?
You have to wonder how it is that the people at the Scotsman don’t seem able to make a connection between them taking positions like this and the continuing loss of subscribers/sales.

I don’t think the owners are especially worried about that. They run these as propaganda sheets, as has become increasingly obvious over the past decade. Essentially, they are for the propagation of neoliberal economics and against redistribution of power.

Drakeford Name Meaning
English (West Midlands): probably a habitational name from a lost or unidentified place.
Seems quite appropriate for his position and politics.

It would be cool to have a Welsh dragon with a Welsh name though. Obviously Smaug is already taken.

The public will trust those in the Scottish government to do the dest for us, in spite of deflection and misrepresentation from the “Scottish” media.
I say “government” deliberately because Boris (Chief liar for the Union) is on the box right now.
“The UK government and devolved “administrations”.
“Administrations” is a Brit Nat weasel concept, to place in our minds the idea that our elected governments aren’t real governments.
