Unionist "Ministry of Truth" (Including BBC) will rewrite Johnsons failures.

The BBC report that

The Scottish government has confirmed it is no longer planning to hold an independence referendum this year.
Constitution Secretary Mike Russell said the plans had been "paused" due to the coronavirus pandemic.
He said the move would allow the government to focus all of its resources on the health crisis.
In a letter to the UK government, he said: "It follows from this that a referendum will not be held this year."
Mr Russell urged the UK government to place a similar pause on the EU/UK 

 

Quite frankly it does seem that this is a decision that had to made . especially in order to combat the dominant Unionist Media  was dependent on a mass movement on the streets handing out leaflets and knocking on  doors over the next few months.

Scottish Conservative shadow constitution secretary Murdo Fraser said putting the referendum preparations on hold was welcome news and would "come as a relief to workers and businesses alike".

Taking into account  that his Tory masters are desperately rewriting advice to everyone , to an extent you can see Prime Mr Johnson  establishing an " Orwellian"Ministry  Truth" , to make sire that when the crisis is over we do not view his actions as being incoherent and incompetent.

Mind you there are already signs BBC Breakfast , this morning are telling us that English Schools are closing on Friday and committing to tell us that the Welsh and Scottish Governments had already stated they were doing it .

Westminster looks like it was forced to follow rather than lead.

The letter, which was sent to UK cabinet minister Michael Gove, said: "Because of the crisis, the Scottish government has paused work on preparing for an independence referendum this year.
"We have also written to the Electoral Commission to make clear we do not expect it to undertake testing of a referendum question until public health circumstances permit such activity.
"That will allow us to focus all available resource on current and future demands in what is an unprecedented set of circumstances.
"It follows from this that a referendum will not be held this year."
Mr Russell went on to "strongly suggest" that the UK government takes similar action with regard to the Brexit process by pausing negotiations with the UK for at least six months.
He said: "It would seem impossible for business and others to cope with the enormous challenge of coronavirus while at the same time preparing for a completely new relationship with the EU in nine months' time."
Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Willie Rennie commended Mr Russell for "a very sensible decision in the face of this overwhelming crisis facing us all".
The Scottish Greens said it was right that the Scottish government prioritised its resources to deal with the public health crisis that we all face.
Earlier this week, First Minister Nicola Sturgeon urged SNP activists to stop campaigning during the coronavirus outbreak, and to instead "focus on looking out for your family, friends and neighbours".

To what extent the current crisis will increase or decrease the Scottish case for Independence will be seen, certainly the Westminster Government failures will not be highlighted by the Unionist "Ministry of Truth" and the argument will be "We survived this together.

But that will depend on a swift and consistant , recovery but Brexit may well put a burden on this , and how Europe responds to the aftermath may be crucial.
