Trump Discussing Nonsense Regarding Scottish Independence, According to Brian Cox

In a recent development, Hollywood actor Brian Cox, a supporter of Scottish independence, has spoken out against US President Donald Trump's comments on the frequency of Scottish independence referendums. Cox, known for his roles in Succession and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., called Trump's suggestion of long intervals between referendums "rubbish" and "bollocks," rejecting the idea that a country "can't go through that too much."

Cox's criticism comes as the ongoing police fraud investigation into the SNP's finances continues to cause harm to the party and the wider independence movement. The investigation, which is examining the party's finances, has been a source of controversy and has raised questions about the SNP's financial transparency.

In a separate matter, Cox has also expressed his view that Kevin Spacey, who was exiled from the showbiz world in 2017 after allegations of sexual misconduct, should be forgiven and allowed to return to showbiz. Spacey stood trial in the UK for multiple sexual offences against four men in July 2023 but was acquitted on all counts. Cox believes that everybody is capable of the same mistakes and the same sins as everybody else, and that there is a sort of viciousness about cancel culture that is unwarranted.

Despite his views on Spacey, Cox has not spoken publicly about the actor's potential return to showbiz. Search results do not provide any information on Cox's views on Spacey's return to the industry.

In other news, Brian Cox is set to return to the Scottish stage for the first time in a decade in a play about the Royal Bank of Scotland's role in the 2008 financial crash. Cox has also been vocal about his disdain for Trump, calling him "that idiot in America."
