OED gives the etymology from educare and the base Latin form would be educo but this had/has two different senses. The first is the rearing or raising of children, livestock, comparable to modern sense, and the second is to draw or lead out, to bring before a court, to raise, to bring up the rear, etc. I like what the second sense brings with the image of a civilized human being being drawn out of a great ape with a language facility.
The biggest lie about Âgeneral elections is that they don’t change anything. The truth is that votes cast today will decide not only the direction the UK goes in the next five years, but the long-term future of Scotland. arbaz Scots have become so used to SNP dominance of our political landscape that it is difficult to remember a time when that was not the case, a time when not everything revolved around the interminable and circular debate about independence.
This time the Nationalists are facing an existential crisis as their popularity has plummeted following a series of egregious failures and scandals: failure in their delivery of policy at Holyrood and the scandal that prompted a long-running police investigation into party finances. But ever since the Supreme Court confirmed that Holyrood has no authority to hold another divisive, debilitating referendum on independence, the Nationalists have been panicked into political dead ends.
That doesn’t mean they’ve stopped being a threat to the Union – it just means their rhetoric has become increasingly hysterical. The truth is that it could change everything. True, Keir Starmer’s Labour looks set to form the next government with a large majority. And Scotland looks set to contribute significantly to Labour’s total of MPs for the first time in 14 years. There’s the added complication that John Swinney claims his party already has such a mandate from the 2021 Holyrood elections, which begs the question of what good another ‘mandate’ will do if the first one can’t be delivered.
