John Swinney told IRA terror victims and their families to 'move on' after they expressed concerns about the SNP First Minister's plans to work with Sinn Fein to break up the United Kingdom. Yesterday, they came to Holyrood to protest these offensive comments👇

On these islands, the break up of the UK will be the defining political event of the next generation It's now inevitable and will severely limit - maybe end - London's reign of imperial terror, which has lasted more than 400 years All progressives should be 100% behind it

John Swinney has reshuffled the same failed ministers to form his new cabinet. The public will have no confidence that the SNP can deliver on the big issues with the same unsuccessful cast at the top.

The easy bit passing a motion calling for a Sec 30 to enable an independence referendum. What they do when Westminster refuses the request, separates statesmen from parish councillors. Parish councillors would moan. States-people would call an election.

A question no unionist has ever given an answer to is this “What has being in this union done for Scotland that an independent Scotland couldn’t have done or do for itself?” Retweet so that every Scot asks themselves the this question,
Liz Webster@LizWebsterSBF

🚨 #BBCQT audience member in Scotland puts it bluntly: “We were promised we’d be better together… North Sea oil and gas stripped back, Grangemouth shut down. Why are we better together when Westminster’s ripping Scotland apart for its own benefit?” Tory tries to answer, forgetting it was the Tories who triggered both the IndyRef and Brexit votes that tore the country apart. Ten years after Brexit, the union feels more strained than ever. Economic grievances, resource extraction, and policy decisions made in London continue to fuel the independence debate. The “Better Together” slogan is under serious pressure.

I want to congratulate John Swinney on being elected First Minister of Scotland today. For the first time ever, there are now three nationalist, pro-independence First Ministers in office in the North of Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. I look forward to working together with John Swinney and Rhun ap Iorwerth in the time ahead, as we stand up for the best interests of our people and for their right to self-determination.

Useful question; here is the answer Because you can only have a say in the future of a state of which you are a part. This is the point in time in which the English state reaps the consequences of annexing Scotland instead of putting the ‘partnership agreement’ (treaty) into effect. You cannot retrospectively rewrite the Treaty of Union which specified a single kingdom/crown and parliament. The imposition of the English Crown over Scotland meant that - even if every feature of the English state had not continued unaltered - two crowns and two kingdoms continued, Scotland’s in the position of a monarch-less institution while Scotland is administered by the foreign English Crown. (See, there’s the biter bit. If England had not been “perfidious” and had honoured the treaty instead of using it to get control of Scotland and to extinguish an ancient and sovereign state, there might be a real U.K. today and you’d have a say.) To continue, as the Crown in Parliament was and is the English Crown there could only be an English, not a joint GB Parliament. Name is irrelevant. English Crown and Parliament = English state. Treaty? Discarded and inoperative. Scottish state dismantled but its Crown continues as inextinguishable, Coronation Oath still on statutes (we observe the formalities but not their legal effects); Great Seal required for admin purposes so still in exists and the fundamental constitution (Claim of Right) also observed as statutory law but calso ignored. All of which Justine, means that you may well *feel* that the U.K. is real and that you are part of it but this is just a convincing fiction. In terms of legal identity, (and this really matters) the U.K. is simply the English state with the nation of Scotland added as its ‘extension’ or dependency but with no agreement/treaty to legalise this. Scotland was never lawfully merged nor incorporated into England. The passage of time not only does *not* normalise the annexed/annexer relationship but international law designates it an ongoing wrongful act. Scotland’s liberation can’t break up England - which is the actual state calling itself the U.K. Scotland can’t leave England when it was never part of it. And only Scots get to decide if they want their stolen sovereignty, history, constitution, culture, territory and resources restored or not. Foreigners don’t get a say.

@Aodh_MagUidhir @Johni1967 @SSalyers2 @elizabethm46248 @SymbolStones @LiberationScot Why? It’s the U.K. that would be ended. Why wouldn’t I have a say about the nation I’m a member of? Would you also respect a Scottish vote that wanted to remain in the U.K.?

@LizWebsterSBF @thebuilddoctor To overstate the obvious, the question/matter was not of course “settled” in 2014 since it is still being hotly debated and a majority of Scots want another referendum and independence. To suggest otherwise is wrong.
