Scratcher #DissolveTheUnion retweetledi
Once again for the benefit of the colonial apologists.
The union of the crowns in 1603 just meant that the Scottish king became king of England also. One monarch wore two crowns. Two crowns = two kingdoms. That is what the ‘union’ of 1707 was supposed to ‘fix’. One kingdom = one crown. Except it didn’t happen. England wasn’t about to give up its feudal crown and the social and political system built around it. So it forced through a treaty for a single kingdom … then put Scotland under the English crown, a kind of vassal relationship for which no treaty exists.
A Bit of Extra Background
Back in the 1700’s everyone knew it was treachery. In 1708, Robert Harley, Anne’s first minister laughed about the way even England’s allies called England ‘perfidious’ (treacherous) because they had violated the treaty and laughed at the idea of binding treaty articles. Today England, pretending to be a unitary state, is still screeching about a voluntary partnership, (a concept started at the time of the Irish home rule movement), and about being a ‘new state’ created by treaty (total nonsense), because it stands to lose its Scottish colony if this comes under the scrutiny of international law. Liberation Scotland intends to see that this is exactly what happens.
The thing so many of us are still catching up with is that the union is not only a legal nullity today but was always intended - by the English state - to consist of the English state, unaltered, with the Scottish state dismantled and Scotland added to its domains. It was, from the first a con and a fraud carried out through:-
1. threatening invasion, blackmail or bribe MP’s and forcing through a treaty/partnership for a new, single state with full pomp and ceremony, commissioners, intense negotiations, articles and conditions to satisfy the Scots in favour of a union but uneasy about what it will mean for Scotland
2. Breaking Scots law by dissolving the parliament and imposing the new GB Parliament (England’s renamed) as the only legitimate parliament for the new state *before* that state has come into existence. (It never did!)
3. Preventing the Act of Salvo by the Three Estates and blocking the senior parliament, with tax, oversight and treaty responsibility, from sitting
4. Dismantling the Scottish state and placing Scotland under the English Crown
5. Renaming England with Scotland added to its dominion (dependency or colony in international law). England continues without interruption or alteration in the slightest degree.
6. Then tell a world rejecting colonialism that the new state and single kingdom of the treaty are a reality because an Act of ratification is on the UK statute books. Convince the entire legal, political and academic establishment to “ignore the evidence of their own eyes, (to quote Orwell).
7. Create an ‘orthodoxy’, internalised by even the brightest minds. This orthodoxy achieves a condition akin to the emperor’s new clothes’ whose reasoning is that if the Act of Union is law, then what it says should exist *must* be what exists. Fact, evidence, substance and the impossible contradictions between the terms, conditions and effects of the treaty/acts and reality can only be examined on the basis that the union is real as per the Act! i.e. From the p.o.v. that you must start from the premise that the naked king is wearing clothes. Our colonial reality is thus systematically ignored in favour of the lie of the union.
In the story of the emperor’s new clothes it took one child not afraid to look stupid to point out the truth .
