@DannyCAstroGuy@casa_gabby I have to put you right on something else. I am well aware of colonialism and have worked extensively in ex-colonies. I am also aware that during the days of Empire Scots were among the most enthusiastic colonisers.
@DannyCAstroGuy@casa_gabby On the definition you have provided Scotland would be a colony of England if it was (a) under the political control of England and (b) occupied by settlers from England. (a) is not the case and on (b) ......
@JohnGower1@casa_gabby Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland don't have a single input into the doings of Westminster. We're treated with nothing but racist, xenophobic and elitist contempt by our masters and you wonder why we want independence? Even the North of England are fed up with them in the SE
@JohnGower1@casa_gabby Is that like when we asked for a similar arrangement to Northern Ireland during the brexit negotiations since we voted to remain in the EU and were told to shut up and let Westminster deal with it? The contempt and lack of consultation of the devolved governments shownyoure wrong
Seem familiar? That's because Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are colonies of the English empire under the control of the dictatorship that is Westminster.
@JohnGower1@casa_gabby You say we aren't a colony of England. I say otherwise. You clearly don't understand what the term colony means. You aren't about to tell me we're in a union of equal partner countries. Also see and tell me I'm wrong in my assessment britannica.com/topic/dictator…
@DannyCAstroGuy@casa_gabby There was not a single democracy in the world in 1707, AFAIK, so it’s odd to complain about the legitimacy of decisions taken by the Scottish Parliament according to the arrangements then in place – and which had been put in place by Scots, they hadn’t been imposed on them.
@DesigningSchool@snowmoonshadow@acgrayling@NicolaSturgeon At least you can trust her to tell the truth which is what you want in a politician not the corruption, lies and downright class warfare inflicted by the tories who do nothing but demonise the poor
GOVERNMENT & Police need to change. It's absurd that it got this far.
'The police had simply not understood the importance in English law of people’s basic right to freedom of speech & assembly: to protest”
"grave questions over the Met’s use of powers"

@SkyNews The rich and elite shouldn't be allowed to weild so much power. What makes them better than anyone else? Take them all off their extortionate salaries and take away all their expenses and see how quickly things in this country start to change
Despite being forced to stand down after a wave of ministerial resignations, Boris Johnson is still the top choice for prime minister among members of his own party, new polling suggests trib.al/A5l92XW
@razorblue@SkyNews His own lies and corruption are what did him. How the fuck he was allowed to go on so long is beyond anyone's comprehension. He's done irreparable damage to this country
@JohnGower1@casa_gabby Ruled by another country. Its not normal. If Scotland actually was an equal partner along with Wales and Northern Ireland and England in the UK then there wouldn't be a problem or growing support for Scottish and Welsh independence or a reunification of Ireland.
@JohnGower1@casa_gabby Wrong. Corrupt Scottish nobles sold Scotland from under the people of Scotland's feet. The people of Scotland certainly had no choice in the matter. The only prominent part we've played is being stripped bare of our resources by Westminster. No hatred. Just don't want my country
