THE new pro-union kid on the block just released another challenge to the country - and it's even weirder than the last one.
UK Unity, a splinter group from the not-so-united Scotland in Union, launched their new campaign group last week in Glasgow by issuing a challenge on social media.
The group, who are pushing a hardline, pro-Brexit, anti-independence, anti-devolution message, invited its online detractors to come and have a go if they thought they were hard enough in a short video released after the launch.

Following the bizarre video, and a series of juvenille attemps at creating pro-Brexit memes, some speculated that the group may actually be a parody.
The latest video from the organisation does nothing to dispel that theory.
The cowardly-elite want to break our dreams of a better future. @UKunityorg will unite the UK, as we leave the EU. @theresa_may @NicolaSturgeon @donaldtusk @JunckerEU @HackneyAbbott @fmwales @campbellclaret @InstituteGC @OfficeGSBrown @JohnMajor @EUCommScotland pic.twitter.com/QGpPUPZ8z0

From odd references to dreams, to a dramatic turn to the camera, this latest video really captures the attention.
While the video has racked up well over 9000 views already, the online Twitter account is still struggling to build it's audience of 160 people.
To date, no-one has formally accepted their challenge to debate. But that may change soon....
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
