Defiant Tory Scot Michael Gove is searching for a Gina McMiller to take Nicola Sturgeon to the Supreme Court should an SNP-dominated Scottish parliament try to stage a second independence referendum. Seeking a Tartan clone of Gina Miller, the businesswoman and activist who legally asserted the sovereignty of the UK parliament over Brexit, is the Aberdonian Cabinet Office minister’s newest strategy. Gove, a Brextremist who dismissed experts when they correctly warned quitting the European Union would be a disaster, believes a legal case without his fingerprints would look and sound better than Downing Street enforcing a veto under the Scotland Act. Miller was abused horribly by some of Gove’s viler allies for championing democracy. McMiller would in all likelihood be hounded by vicious cybernats.
