Whakakihia te rerenga e whai ake nei: Ko Foulkes tetahi o nga kaitohu e rima tekau ki tetahi reta i whakaputaina i te Guardian i te tau 2010, i karanga mo te Pope Benedict XVI kia kaua e whakawhiwhia ki te haerenga a te kawanatanga ki te UK, me te whakapae i te Hahi Katorika ki te whakanui ake i te horapa o Aids me te whakatairanga i te maatauranga wehe. I te 24 o Akuhata 2011, "The Scotsman" i kii kua kii ia ka whakatakotohia e ia he whakatikatika ki te Pire o Scotland me te whakaaro kia kore e taea e te Kawanatanga o Scotland te pupuri i te maatauranga wānanga koreutu mo nga akonga i Scotland. I te 2 o Hui-tanguru 2012, i whakatakoto ia i tetahi tono e karanga ana mo te
Scottish independence referendum to contain no extra question on increased devolution, and proposing a separate referendum to be held on the subject in the event independence were rejected and Scotland voted to stay in the UK. Ko te whakataunga o Scotland kia kaua he pātai atu mo te whakawhitinga mana, me te whakaaro kia tū he pooti motuhake mo te kaupapa mēnā ka whakakahoretia te rangatiratanga, ā, ka pōti a Scotland kia noho tonu ki te UK.
