Not much substance, TBH. The commentators seem to feel the same way.
Although I'm not so sure how this posters proposal would go down in
England, let alone Scotland:

So little is being done to challenge the SNP. We need action. Where are the pro UK campaigns? Where is action to stop the SNP misusing the civil service for their party propaganda? As someone that supports Brexit, i hate to say it but we need to look at Brussels and learn a few lessons on how they have over many years attempted to build up their european identity and unity. We need to replicate some of the things they have done and do it in a more effective way.
The UK Shared Prosperity Fund is going to replace EU structural funds. A great idea, but implementation matters. The UK Gov needs to control what projects get the funding, it needs to make sure the UK takes credit for the spending, including making sure its visibly recognised via UK flag if its a public building or at least display that it was funded by UK.
We need UK wide educational and cultural changes. We need the House of Commons and UK Government to reach out to every school across the UK, especially in Scotland. Imagine if every secondary school kid had a UK Gov funded trip to London to visit Parliament, Buckingham Palace and other key sites. We need far more ministerial visits and events across Scotland. Funding for Cadet forces across the country.. We need a UK national day and heavy promotion of British identity. And much much more.
This really is not complicated. The separatist threat facing this country could be crushed if the government, and our unionist politicians put a bit of effort into it.

My main observation about the current state of Union that is the UK of GB and NI is that it reminds me of the last decades of the Indian Raj. Even those who are governing are starting to question the legitimacy of it's existance.
