It was not a 'perceived' political issue, it was political plain and simple.

In the case of the Northern Irish group 'Kneecap' a grant was awarded by the appropriate institutions of the devolved government. The minister in Westminster waded in an cancelled that grant on the grounds they wouldn't support any group opposed to the UK.

The situation with regards to the issue in Scotland was along similar lines.


If that isn't political I don't know what is.

It's fine if ghis can't be discussed here any further but let's call the issue what it is and not resort to weasel words like 'perceived'.
