And here’s another ‘teaching opportunity’!
It is precisely because what these Acts ratified was never given effect, that all that pompous rhetoric about the Union is evidence of colonisation.
Let’s start with one fundamental fact: a kingdom is the territorial jurisdiction of a crown. A ‘single kingdom’ requires a single crown. Instead of creating a single crown/kingdom, the English coronation oath was ‘extended’ to Scotland meaning that Scotland was made a dominion of the English, not part of the single kingdom of a merged ‘British’ crown. (The gobbledegook rubbish mumbled as a Scottish Oath of Accession by every English monarch from George I on, was invented to give a veneer of legitimacy to the pantomime of legitimate accession as Scottish monarch.The real Scottish Oath is still an ignored but legal requirement and still on the statute books.)
The Scottish Crown and thus the Scottish kingdom continues as a legal entity, its assets and resources managed by the annexing, English Crown to this day.
Now, the English Crown can only summon the English Parliament which. as even Boris Johnson has proudly stated, continues as its always did, exactly like the English Crown.
No single crown, no single kingdom, no new joint parliament under that single crown = no operative treaty but, instead, unlawful annexation of a fully developed, sovereign and independent European state under the pretext of a treaty England forced onto Scotland purely in order to dismantle that state and take control of Scotland. Which it did.
These days it’s desperately peddling its voluntary partnership fairy tale through all its captured mouthpieces while trying to block every channel that might provide a platform for a rehearsal of the case of the annexed state of Scotland. Despite this we are exposing the unambiguous evidence of all I have said here - and more - to a fascinated, convinced and growing number of international governments, lawyers and bodies. Liberation approaches.
(I realise that none of this ‘feels’ true or possible for unionists. But that’s because charter myths have enormous power - that’s their function true or (mostly) false, to create a strong sense of identity, to legitimise a system or it’s government and so anchor national or territorial loyalty onto a sense of being and belonging. ‘Unionism’ is no different. It is however based on a card house of lies and crimes,)
