#Extremist Threats to Britain
In his speech this week, Rishi Sunak told the nation of the extremist threats facing Great Britain over the coming years. He was speaking at Policy ExchangeUK. (Full speech here).
Early in the speech there is a section where Sunak lists extremist threats to Britain.
- authoritarian states like Russia, Iran, North Korea and China working together to undermine us and our values.
- War has returned to Europe
- War rages too in the middle east as Israel defends itself
- in Africa conflicts are being fought in 18 different countries
- Putin’s recklessness has taken us closer to a dangerous nuclear escalation than at any point since the Cuban Missile Crisis.”
- Extremists are using global conflicts to set Briton against Briton
- Scottish nationalists are even trying to tear our United Kingdom apart.
Stephen Flynn used his PMQs question to demand an apology. Spoiler: He didn’t get one. Sunak denied he’d said it.

BBC Scotland Debate Night panel was asked: Is it acceptable for Rishi Sunak to categorise Scottish Nationalist are extremists?
Lesley Riddoch asks Ed Mountain, Conservative MSP, if he thinks she is extremist threat?
What about Pete Wishart? Another extremist threat?

I’m shocked that the people of Scotland are likened to Russians, Iranians, etc. There’s are countries at war and we’re not. It’s a horrendous things to say. If we are thought to be really awful then why do Westminster hang on to us. We need to have our independence as quickly as we can or we will be dragged into the mire by England, Brexit and very rich politicians who cant understand real poverty.
