As someone put it on Twitter today "when you've spent two years imagining a country and how it might work, you can't just unimagine it again".
So, because the biggest minority in Parliament has only one seat in Scotland after ONE general election, it shows that Scotland will ALWAYS be politically at odds with the rest of the UK?
Moreover, you could apply the same rationale to certain regions of the UK outside of Scotland … like the Northeast. Or to a county like the West Midlands.
Political views have huge regional differences all over the country; it's not at all just Scotland.
The South East outside of London is as blue as the sea. Where I went to uni was one of the 5 safest seats in the country at the time. I…am not a Tory by any stretch of the imagination. So I feel kinda alarmed when it seems like I might find myself in permaTory land. Though I have just moved from a London constituency where the MP voted against same-sex marriage because 'God told her to',
Rob, if you guys do manage to cut the cord, can I come up there? I can bring junior coding skills, bad puns, and my collection of teas.

The 3 day lockdown in Sierra Leone has been declared a success by authorities. 130 new cases have been discovered over the course of the lockdown and 30 still pending.

Let's hope so.
Really hope this is indeed the turning of the tide. Though must be extremely scary to be trapped the wrong side of such a quarantine.
