Now Holyrood wants a hard border with England

Press Office • Feb 18, 2021

Nicola Sturgeon threatens to close the England-Scotland border if the Prime Minister does not submit to her demands.

UKIP candidate for Highlands and Islands, Robert Stephenson, has reacted with scorn to Nicola Sturgeon’s threats to close the England-Scotland border if the Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, does not adopt her draconian proposals to force all international arrivals to self-isolate in hotels.

In England the quarantine rules apply only to travellers from 33 countries on a ‘red list’ but the First Minister is concerned that people might fly to England before entering Scotland. Such an unprecedented move would result in the imposition of border checks.

UKIP is contesting the forthcoming elections to the Scottish Parliament, scheduled for 6 May 2021, on a platform to hold a referendum to abolish the devolved government based in Holyrood.

Robert said: “Clearly Britain requires a single uniform response to the coronavirus pandemic rather than an unnecessary tier of government contradicting and competing with Westminster. The sham promoted by the SNP could well result in the sheer absurdity of border checks between England and Scotland. This demonstrates why we urgently need a referendum to scrap Holyrood.”

"The nonsense spewing from the First Minister seems to know no bounds. However, Scots will be presented with a real alternative in May to abolish the Scottish Parliament and affirm the Union" said Robert.

Robert went on to say: "It is high time to say no to the SNP and their brazen attempts to destroy the UK. We must act now against the constitutional mess caused by devolution. Only a vote for UKIP will put an end to this lamentable state once and for all.”
