A UNIONIST blogger has urged anyone who identifies as Scottish not British to rip up their passports "or else be a hypocrite", before being deported.
Effie Deans, who has previously written for right-wing magazine The Spectator under the name Irena Skuba, took to X/Twitter to express her latest ultra-Unionist hot take.
She wrote: "If you think you are Scottish and not British, then please renounce your British citizenship & rip up your passport.
"You can then be deported from the UK as you won't have the right to live here. Alternatively you can accept that you are indeed British or else be a hypocrite."
How could any Scot resist such a positive case for remaining in the Union?

One can only imagine what other utopian ideals of Britishness the blogger is plotting.
Replacing Irn-Bru with English breakfast tea, perhaps?
Banning haggis in favour of a weekly household consumption quota for jellied eels?
Goodness knows whisky wouldn't be permitted either - that's much too Scottish.
I can only assume that instead of a dram Deans prefers a lukewarm scrumpy cider sipped from a teacup commemorating the coronation of King Charles.
Unfortunately for Deans, it appears she's fighting a losing a battle.
The latest census found that two-thirds of people in Scotland identify only as Scottish, not British.
That's a lot of citizenships to renounce, Effie. You best get to work.
