Alex Salmond has said Humza Yousaf should not have let the Stone of Destiny go to London until Westminster acknowledged Scotland's right to self-determination
just two years ago, the Tory government has repeatedly ruled out granting a Section 30 order to devolve the relevant powers for a vote to be held.Taking such a stand now with the stone would had led to global publicity and given the First Minister a boost amid a slump in SNP polling, Salmond suggested.
“Yousaf should have politely but firmly refused to send it back until Scotland’s entitlement to self-determination was recognised by London.” – with any aspect of the coronation requiring use of the ancient item taking place in Scotland instead of London.a ceremony was held to mark the stone’s return to England for the first time in over 25 years“It was ceremoniously taken back south to be used in the Charles III Coronation, with the new First Minister parading dutifully behind it like a pet poodle,” remarked Salmond.
