Mathew Syed, part of the London bubble, confuses the distinction between "Working class voters loving Britain" and working class English Nationalism, the driving force for Brexit.There is no Red Wall for the Tories to grab in Scotland. Both Cameron and Brown promised the Scots that the only way to remain in the European Union was to to vote NO in the 2014 independence referendum. They were also lied to that they were "equal partners" in the Union.The latest lockdown now seems to suggest that London and the South are more important to Tories than the North who were forced to negotiate for funds when going into Tier 3. Money appears to be no object in the terms on offer for the latest policy which primarily hits the South in terms of jobs threatened. Wales, Northern Ireland, Scotland got no extra money when covid restrictions came in recently. The opposite down south. The consequence? Last week a poll reported in the ultra-unionist Mail reports a large majority in favour of independence and 79% of those polled saying that they detested Boris Johnson.
