In the face of serious injury or death, it’s amazing how their sense of entitlement outweighs their common sense. 🤦🏼♂️🚴♀️




Wow, that's quite some post! Just to take three of the conflations and inaccuracies: The Scottish National Party do not claim Scotland was colonised; attributing that to them is incorrect. 1603 was a personal union under James VI and I. The crowns were held by the same individual, but remained legally separate and constitutionally distinct, not merged into a single political entity. 1707 was a separate, contested settlement under pressure, not the inevitable outcome of 1603. Anne's Scottish coronation oath (1702) underscores that: she swore to "preserve and keep inviolate the rights... of the Crown of Scotland, neither shall we transfer nor alienate the same". That reflects a constitutional order in which the Scottish crown persists as a distinct entity up to 1 May 1707.





















Scottish not British.







Some of the British police have lost their moral compass
