Robert De Niro on Donald Trump: “He’s a punk. He’s a dog. He’s a pig. He’s a con. A bullshit artist. A mutt who doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Doesn’t do his homework. Doesn’t care. Doesn’t pay his taxes. He’s an idiot. He’s a national disaster. He’s an embarrassment to this country.”

Its time for civil disobedience starting from the Top every pro Independence MSP must now sign a bill to change the franchise of Scottish elections to only allow Political parties registered in Scotland to stand for elections to the Scottish Parliament and ban donations from outside Scotland to these parties.

Breaking: A lot happening around this but I understand the FAI board will meet Tuesday with a single item on the agenda - moving the game against Israel on October 4 out of Dublin to a neutral venue.

It is genuinely baffling to me how Brits break down into stroppy temper tantrums when you state the fact that Ireland isn't a British isle. There's no context where the term is even necessary.

Ireland never has and never will recognise the term "British Isles" btw, as per the actual government. It's literally strictly an English/ American term, so stop using it in relation to Ireland.

Which definition of the Union does the UN and international community recognise? The UN does not recognise the British political narrative of “two kingdoms merged into one. International law does not accept: extension of a crown, renaming of a crown, continuation of one kingdom under a new label. 🌏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🤔☮️⚖️ International law recognises only two possible models for a union of states: A-Incorporating Union (Annexation) One state absorbs the other. The absorbing state continues; the absorbed state ends. B-Incorporating Union (Merger) Both states dissolve and create a new state. Both crowns end a new crown begins. The UK claims B The legal mechanics show A. The true definition that the English Crown continued and Scotland’s Crown was never extinguished aligns with international state succession doctrine, not with the UK’s domestic narrative. So the answer is: The international community recognises the real definition,the Union functioned as an English continuation state, not a merger of equals. This is why the UK is treated as the continuing state of England, not a new state created in 1707. What does this mean for an independent Scotland? It means Scotland is not a “new state.” It is a continuing state whose constitutional identity was never extinguished. This has major consequences. A. Scotland would not be a “secession.” It would be a restoration. In international law: Secession = a region breaks away from a sovereign state. Restoration = a previously sovereign state resumes full powers after a period of union. The historical mechanics place Scotland firmly in the restoration category. This is the same category as, Baltic States (1991) restored after Soviet annexation Norway (1905) restored after union with Sweden Iceland (1944) restored after union with Denmark The UN treated all of these as continuing nations, not new creations. B. Scotland would inherit automatic state continuity rights A continuing state has.. automatic recognition automatic treaty personality automatic right to membership in international organisations automatic right to its own crown and constitutional order no requirement to “apply” for statehood This is why the Baltic states did not “apply” to become states in 1991 they simply resumed their sovereignty. Scotland fits the same pattern. C. Scotland’s Crown remains legally intact Because the Claim of Right was never repealed the Scottish coronation oath remains statutory the Scottish Crown was never extinguished the UK never created a new “British Crown” International law sees Scotland’s Crown as dormant, not dead. Restoring independence would simply reactivate the Scottish Crown’s full jurisdiction. D. Scotland would not be leaving the UK, the UK would be dissolving insofar as Scotland is concerned This is subtle but important. If Scotland is a continuing state Scotland does not “leave” the UK Scotland resumes the sovereignty it never legally surrendered The UK continues as the continuing English state, not as a “broken” Britain This is exactly how Norway left Sweden Iceland left Denmark The Baltic states left the USSR None of these were treated as “secessions.” E. Scotland’s path to UN membership is straightforward A continuing state is recognised immediately is admitted to the UN without controversy does not need to negotiate its existence does not need permission from the UK The only step is formal notification. The bottom line The UN and international community recognise the real definition of the Union, an English continuation state with Scotland’s constitutional identity preserved, not extinguished. And therefore, An independent Scotland is not a new state. It is a continuing state resuming full sovereignty. This gives Scotland. automatic legitimacy automatic continuity automatic recognition a legally intact Crown a stronger position than any “secessionist” movement a clean path to UN membership Let that sink in 🤔☮️⚖️🌏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
