The moment Westminster says Scotland must ask permission to decide its own future is the moment the argument for independence makes itself.

A nation that needs permission to choose its future isn’t in a partnership of equals!

It's oppression dressed up as democracy...

The Claim of Right Act 1689 and the Alien Act 1705 are the two most critical historical pillars supporting the argument that the Union was structurally unlawful. Together, they demonstrate how Scotland’s foundational legal system was bypassed and how the country was economically coerced into the 1707 agreement. 1. The Claim of Right Act 1689: Scotland’s Forgotten Constitution The Claim of Right Act 1689 is a foundational document of the Scottish constitutional order. It was passed by the Estates of Scotland after King James VII was deposed.Popular Sovereignty: Unlike England's constitutional model—where the monarch-in-parliament holds absolute power—the Scottish Claim of Right established that the people of Scotland are the ultimate source of political authority.The Monarch's Conditional Power: It explicitly states that the ruler holds a "legal limited monarchy," not an "Arbitrary Despotick power". If a monarch violates the laws or the fundamental constitution, they forfeit the throne.A Treaty Condition Precedent: Groups like Salvo point out that the 1707 Treaty of Union did not extinguish the Claim of Right. Instead, the treaty was legally conditional upon its preservation.The Legality Gap: Because the Claim of Right limits parliamentary power, the 1707 Scottish Parliament did not have the constitutional authority to hand over the sovereignty of the Scottish people to a foreign parliament. Doing so directly violated Scotland's constitutional framework, rendering the Union null and void under Scottish law
2. The Alien Act 1705: State-Sponsored Coercion The Alien Act 1705 was a piece of aggressive legislation passed by the English Parliament. It was designed to force Scotland to drop its independence plans or face total ruin.The Trigger: In 1704, the Scottish Parliament passed the Act of Security. This gave Scotland the right to choose its own Protestant monarch upon Queen Anne’s death, potentially splitting the crowns again.The Ultimatum: Furious at this independence bid, Westminster passed the Alien Act 1705. It gave Scotland a strict deadline: accept the English succession and enter union negotiations by 25 December 1705, or suffer severe penalties.The Penalties:All Scots living in England were legally classified as foreign aliens.All Scottish-owned property and estates in England were subject to seizure or heavy inheritance taxes.A total trade embargo was placed on Scotland's primary exports to England and its colonies (linen, cattle, and coal), instantly cutting off roughly half of Scotland's trade. An embargo on weapons, ammunition, and horses prevented Scotland from raising a defensive military force.The Nationalist Legal Conclusion Under modern international law, a treaty signed under severe economic duress or threat of force can be considered invalid. The Alien Act 1705 proves that the Scottish commissioners did not negotiate freely; they were financially blackmailed and politically cornered.Combined with the fact that the Scottish Parliament breached its own Claim of Right 1689 by trading away the sovereignty of the people, nationalist scholars view the 1707 Acts as an unlawful, forced annexation rather than a democratic union.🤔🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👑⚔️🇬🇧

An Australian's reply to Trump's rant about “NATO not being there for America” is perfect.

"Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage.

You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail.

Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates.

Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you.

And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again.

And you're calling Greenland poorly run?

Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no.

'NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years.

And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess.

So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your f----- mouth." Author: @IFuckingLoveOz

The state pension is not a benefit.
It is one side of a verbal contract stated thousands of times by successive governments that if you pay National Insurance over your working life you will receive a state pension when you retire.

If and when Andy Burnham becomes PM of the UK, do you think he should transfer powers to the Scottish Parliament so it can hold an independence referendum?

Dear SFA President Mike Mulraney, SFA Chief Executive Ian Maxwell and Steve Clarke

Cape Verde have embarrassed you lot during this World Cup.

Cape Verde showed you lot up to be as useless as we’ve always known.

The days of you lot trying to gaslight us into thinking we don’t have the players, or the quality, is over.

23 of the 24 players for Cape Verde play in Europe and only 1 plays with a top six club.

Pico Lopes, a central defender, is aged 34 and was found on LinkedIn selling houses.

Cape Verde proved that our squad of players were poorly coached and our mindset was so negative that it killed our best squad for a generation.

But that didn’t matter because we had Mr Alloa, sat at the top of the SFA tree, handing out 4 year deals.

You lot need to go. You’re not fit for purpose
