@SymbolStones @RepublicanSons @thomsonchris Who have you spoken with from 1707 who confirmed that Scotland wasn’t a willing partner in the union?

Indictment at the United Nations: A Report Submitted Directly to the UN Secretary-General Now Entered into the UN System Exposes Scotland as a Colony and Places the English Colonial State in the Dock
Read the full report by Liberation Scotland and partners on the official UN website documents.un.org/doc/undoc/gen/…
A document has now entered the official machinery of the United Nations. Circulated at the United Nations Human Rights Council (61st session), received by the Secretary-General, and registered under UN procedures, this report constitutes far more than an NGO submission. It is an intervention within the normative space of international law itself; and an indictment of the English colonial state.
For Scotland as an English colony, it is nothing short of strategic.
A Break in the Colonial Narrative
For decades, the English colonial state has relied on a carefully constructed fiction. Scotland, the narrative insists, is part of a “voluntary union,” endowed with democratic representation, protected by devolution, fully exercising internal self-determination. It's a colonial lie.
This report dismantles that fiction with clinical precision.
It identifies Scotland not as a partner, not as a region, but as a territory under colonial sovereignty, explicitly placing it alongside cases such as New Caledonia and French Polynesia.
This classification is not rhetorical but analytical, precise, legal, and comparative. It situates Scotland within the global structure of colonial domination. It strips away the British constitutional mythology and replaces it with a framework grounded in international law.
Once that shift occurs, everything changes.
Devolution Unmasked as Legal Assimilation
At the core of the English colonial strategy lies devolution. Presented as a generous transfer of power, it has long been used to argue that Scotland already governs itself.
The report exposes this mechanism for what it is. A colonial fraud.
The Scotland Act 1998 is described as establishing administrative structures while preserving the overriding authority of the central, colonial English state, constituting a process of legal assimilation designed to negate Scotland’s status as a treaty partner.
This is a devastating reframing.
Devolution is no longer interpreted as autonomy. It is revealed as a technology of control, a system through which the English colonial centre maintains supremacy while projecting the illusion of self-government. Internal self-determination, in this light, is containment, certainly not liberation.
The implication is profound. The English colonial state does not share sovereignty. It absorbs, restructures, subordinates, plunders.
The Failure of Internal Self-Determination
The report goes further. It demonstrates that systems of internal autonomy, wherever imposed under the authority of the dominant state, remain structurally incapable of delivering genuine self-determination.
They operate within what the report identifies as a framework of hegemonic legal pluralism, where the colonised are permitted limited expression only within boundaries defined by the coloniser.
Scotland’s constitutional reality is thus aligned with a broader global pattern. From New Caledonia to Okinawa, internal arrangements function not as solutions but as instruments of stabilisation for colonial rule.
The conclusion follows with force.
External Self-Determination & Decolonisation as the Only Solution
The report states unequivocally that external self-determination is the only effective means of guaranteeing the rights of peoples subjected to such structures.
This is not a suggestion but a doctrinal position grounded in international and UN law:
-Article 1(2) of the UN Charter
-The UN General Assembly Resolution 1514 (XV)
-The UN General Assembly Resolution 1541 (XV)
The implication is unmistakable.

The honest answer is: it's one step in a long process, but it's a significant one because of what it changes:
Before this document Scotland's case was a domestic political argument that Westminster could dismiss as an internal matter requiring no international engagement. The British state's position was simply that there's nothing to discuss internationally.
After this document Scotland's situation has been formally placed before the UN Human Rights Council in a document received by the Secretary-General and entered into the official record.
That doesn't decolonise Scotland tomorrow. But it means the "nothing to discuss" position is progressively harder to maintain.
Each subsequent submission, each diplomatic contact, each allied nation that engages with the argument builds a cumulative record that the administering power has to respond to rather than simply ignore.
Decolonisation through this route is measured in years not weeks. But the process has to start somewhere.
It just started.

Exposé of Malcolm Offord's role in the bogus grassroots organisation 'No Borders', created specifically to undermine the 2014 independence referendum.
This British state propaganda was created by current leader of Reform - 'Six-Boats Offord'.
Of course, he was an ally of the No campaigners who currently lead English-based parties in Scotland: Anas Sarwar, Alex Cole-Hamilton, Russell Findlay

Malcolm Offord should leave Scotland. It’s a country that resents success and wallows in sentiment.
My latest for the @spectator.

@Malcolm_Offord So you'll be handing out the keys to those houses to the homeless then?

I want Scotland to be rich.
The other parties do not.
It’s as simple as that.
