It was obvious since the last referendum results were published that SNP will push for another referendum whenever they see that as politically benefical, this time riding on the anti-tories wave that partially helped the Brexiteers. And the independence campaign may even be successful. Even if it isn't, it will help SNP to gain a majority in local government in 3 years time...
That already happens. The liars just get more air time. Your solution is a no-op. The problem is confusing entertainment with news and acting on the information provided as entertainment as if they were facts and truths.
It's not nice to have politics on HN. It only brings out nationalist type of discussions based on some kind of hatred, especially on these type of topics.
Its bad enough to have to deal with the Brexit stuff.
Also according to the guidelines, we're supposed to just "flag it and move on" without mentioning that it's inappropriate, but I've always wondered how people are supposed to learn if it's not politely communicated to them.
