MORE than 10,000 souls lost their lives during Kosovo’s fight for independence from its hated Serbian neighbours.

For close on a decade from the end of the 1990s, the region was a catastrophe of ethnic cleansing, rape and arson as desperate people laid down their lives in the name of freedom.

heirs was a fight no one on earth should have to go through. Theirs was a plight every one of us who takes that same freedom as a given should pray we never come close to sharing.

So for the SNP to use this terrible, bloody blot on modern European history as a precedent to support its obsession with breaking up the UK is beyond shameful.

For them to go to the highest court in the land and even mention Kosovo in the same breath as Scotland is an insult to every man, woman and child who went through that hell.

Yet that’s what they did.
