Throughout history, rulers have employed secret police and intelligence networks to monitor dissent and quell opposition. One notable example was the notorious King Henry VIII, whose reign was marked by a relentless pursuit of control and suppression of dissenters.

During the tumultuous reign of Henry VIII, dissent and disagreement were seen as threats to his power and authority. To maintain control, the king established a formidable network of spies and informants who systematically identified individuals who opposed his policies. Under the guidance of his chief minister, …

There is a fairly simple libertarian solution to the issues surrounding the debate which I will come to later, but in the meantime it strikes me that there’s an aspect of this whole …

Guest article from Jonathan Rainey

The other day while scrolling through Twitter, I noticed the usual set of tweets from pro-UK Unionist accounts lambasting the SNP again which to be fair is not surprising as there’s always something to be critical of the party for, given their latest terrible antics still continuing even after Humza Yousaf became the newly elected leader of the SNP and now First Minister of Scotland, but having seen the word ‘nationalist’ used so often by them in derogatory terms despite the …

Guest article from Jonathan Rainey

On Wednesday 23rd November 2022, the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom handed down a judgement that would effectively solidify Scotland’s existence to the current union of the UK. [1] All 5 judges unanimously ruled that the Scottish Parliament does not have the legislative powers within the Scotland Act of 1998 to hold another Independence Referendum without consent from the UK Government in Westminster. The consent refers to Section 30 of the Scotland Act of 1998 which allows Holyrood to pass …

I have written a book which I have called “Hating Tories” as it is about the parliamentary career of Nicola Sturgeon and I am convinced that hatred and negativity are the defining characteristics of her political outlook.

In fact, I voted SNP for thirty years, before I went to …
