Neil Oliver has said that he believes Scotland choosing independence would be a “step backwards” and would ‘infringe’ on his human rights.

Speaking to Unlocked the Coast presenter said: "For me to draw a new hard-line separating Scotland from England in that formal sense is a backwards step. I prefer what I've always had and I bridle at the thought that someone can take away my nationality and replace it with another.

"I push that to a point as something that infringes on my human rights.

"I'm a British citizen, that's how I see myself.

"Not in an argumentative way, I don't see that I should have to cede my right to understand myself as I am to some politician."

I believe him to be referring to his Nationality being changed, not 'Scotland becoming independent by democratic means'

He's mad. How would his nationality be changed? At present it is me who is denied his right to his nationality, not him.

I think he's right mate.  If the SNP got their way and achieved separation then we'd be stripped of our British citizenship and forced to become citizens of the new country instead.

If the doomsday scenario of separation ever happens, then I'll be getting in touch with Neil Oliver to arrange a campaign of civil disobedience.

That's not the case. It would be contrary to international law for that to happen. You get to keep your British passport and your children qualify for one as well. He's off his head. 😆

Didn't know that.  I hope you're right.

I've often meant to e-mail Neil Oliver with regards to the vicious attacks he receives regularly from cybernats, so I might do so and find out what he's getting at here.  I've emailed a few politicians in the past few years.
