You have every right to know what your government is doing, and they have no right to know what you are doing.

That is why they are called public servants and we are called private citizens.

Instead, the relationship has been inverted. The state hides behind secrecy, classified files, and redactions while demanding total visibility into your finances, communications, movement, and behavior.

A society where the rulers live in privacy while the population lives under surveillance is the very definition of tyranny.

I’m just going to throw this out there.

Those who raised concerns about the SNP finances were repeatedly attacked, vilified and ridiculed by our own side.

We were 100% correct.

So I am giving fair warning that those of us who spoke the truth on this matter also spoke the truth on the conspiracy against Alex and who was involved. Similarly when we said there was no strategy for independence , that means they’ve done NOTHING.

As with all ice bergs, both physical and political. This is as big as it gets, and we’re not even scratching the surface yet.

Bad day? Expect more.

Scottish Government: "We've got twelve experts and a fat report saying the one legal route to a vote on Scottish independence is to ask the British government."

British Government: "Answer's no. Scots don't want a vote and you're not getting one."

John Swinney: "We're back in my government. We want a referendum."

British Government: You deaf?"

Liberation Scotland : "Colonisers do not voluntarily let go of their most prize possession. Those who deny their colonial status are condemned never to escape it."

"And that supermajority actually entitles us to declare independence"

"There have been innumerable examples of Westminster tellin' Scotland, 'Back in yer box, Jocks'. And that's what they'll do again.

And the way around it, is for John Swinney, quite frankly, to grow a spine and for him to say this week before polling day, this is the independence election.

Vote for independent supporters and split your vote, and we'll get a majority of the popular vote and the number of MSPs.

And that supermajority actually entitles us to declare independence.

And if people aren't with me in that regard, and they think that there has to still be a referendum after that, well, I don't imagine that the international community will look too kindly upon the 'Mother of Parliaments' at Westminster, if the people of Scotland vote by a majority for independence and then Westminster says that somehow an ensuing referendum is illegitimate.

It certainly wouldn't be. It would be birthed by an entirely legitimate and legal process, which is the demand of the people of Scotland, because the Scottish people are sovereign.

Not just as far back as 1320 in the Declaration of Arbroath, but more particularly, the Claim of Right, as has been recognised by Westminster and internationally.

Solutions about Scotland should be made in Scotland, for Scotland, by the people of Scotland and not imposed by the people of a different country, because Scotland is not North Britain, it is not a county.

We're a country, we're a nation, and we should now become an independent nation once again." Eva Comrie

Once again for the benefit of the colonial apologists.
The union of the crowns in 1603 just meant that the Scottish king became king of England also. One monarch wore two crowns. Two crowns = two kingdoms. That is what the ‘union’ of 1707 was supposed to ‘fix’. One kingdom = one crown. Except it didn’t happen. England wasn’t about to give up its feudal crown and the social and political system built around it. So it forced through a treaty for a single kingdom … then put Scotland under the English crown, a kind of vassal relationship for which no treaty exists.

A Bit of Extra Background

Back in the 1700’s everyone knew it was treachery. In 1708, Robert Harley, Anne’s first minister laughed about the way even England’s allies called England ‘perfidious’ (treacherous) because they had violated the treaty and laughed at the idea of binding treaty articles. Today England, pretending to be a unitary state, is still screeching about a voluntary partnership, (a concept started at the time of the Irish home rule movement), and about being a ‘new state’ created by treaty (total nonsense), because it stands to lose its Scottish colony if this comes under the scrutiny of international law. Liberation Scotland intends to see that this is exactly what happens.
The thing so many of us are still catching up with is that the union is not only a legal nullity today but was always intended - by the English state - to consist of the English state, unaltered, with the Scottish state dismantled and Scotland added to its domains. It was, from the first a con and a fraud carried out through:-
1. threatening invasion, blackmail or bribe MP’s and forcing through a treaty/partnership for a new, single state with full pomp and ceremony, commissioners, intense negotiations, articles and conditions to satisfy the Scots in favour of a union but uneasy about what it will mean for Scotland
2. Breaking Scots law by dissolving the parliament and imposing the new GB Parliament (England’s renamed) as the only legitimate parliament for the new state *before* that state has come into existence. (It never did!)
3. Preventing the Act of Salvo by the Three Estates and blocking the senior parliament, with tax, oversight and treaty responsibility, from sitting
4. Dismantling the Scottish state and placing Scotland under the English Crown
5. Renaming England with Scotland added to its dominion (dependency or colony in international law). England continues without interruption or alteration in the slightest degree.
6. Then tell a world rejecting colonialism that the new state and single kingdom of the treaty are a reality because an Act of ratification is on the UK statute books. Convince the entire legal, political and academic establishment to “ignore the evidence of their own eyes, (to quote Orwell).
7. Create an ‘orthodoxy’, internalised by even the brightest minds. This orthodoxy achieves a condition akin to the emperor’s new clothes’ whose reasoning is that if the Act of Union is law, then what it says should exist *must* be what exists. Fact, evidence, substance and the impossible contradictions between the terms, conditions and effects of the treaty/acts and reality can only be examined on the basis that the union is real as per the Act! i.e. From the p.o.v. that you must start from the premise that the naked king is wearing clothes. Our colonial reality is thus systematically ignored in favour of the lie of the union.
In the story of the emperor’s new clothes it took one child not afraid to look stupid to point out the truth .

Your brain has a circuit that doesn't know you live in a city. Its only job is to monitor whether birds are still singing. Right now, in this room, it is on.

The circuit predates primates. Mammals have been using ambient soundscape continuity as a predator-detection system for roughly 200 million years. Birds stop singing when something larger moves through their territory. For most of mammalian history, a forest full of song meant no large predator was nearby, and the cessation of sound was the warning. Your nervous system never updated this software.

The Max Planck Institute tested the inverse in 2022 with 295 participants. Six minutes of birdsong dropped anxiety with a medium effect size. Six minutes of traffic noise raised depression with the same. The effect worked on subjects who lived in dense urban environments and had no regular contact with nature. The brain still ran the check.

Birdsong sits in the 1,000 to 8,000 Hz range. Your brainstem reads continuous patterns in that band as a signal that nothing dangerous is currently moving through the environment. EEG data shows birdsong at 45 to 50 decibels boosts alpha wave activity by 14.1% relative to silence. Alpha is the brainwave signature of relaxed alertness. Push the same birdsong above 60 decibels and the response flips. Stress markers rise 29%. The circuit only trusts the signal at the volume of quiet conversation, which is exactly the volume birds sing at from a typical distance.

Three things happen simultaneously when the brain registers ambient safety. The amygdala downregulates. The parasympathetic nervous system takes over from the sympathetic. Heart rate variability rises, cortisol drops. The posterior cingulate cortex, which sits at the center of the rumination circuit, quiets down. King's College London tracked this through a smartphone study with over 1,200 participants and found the mood lift lasted hours after the sound stopped. People diagnosed with depression got the same response as healthy controls.

Most of what gets labeled mental fatigue is hypervigilance running in the background. Birdsong tells the circuit it can stand down, and the brain reallocates the freed compute everywhere else.

A quiet park feels different from a quiet office because the parks have sentinels.

Keith is a three-year-old Anglo-Nubian goat in a field in Devon.

Keith has opened 7 gates, occupied a barn roof for 11 consecutive days, cleared an entire knotweed stand worth £4,000 to remove chemically, eaten Steve's bindweed, been in the churchyard twice, been in the road an estimated 14 times, eaten the water heater instructions, been in Dave's kitchen (standing there, not eating anything, just standing), and filed the structural details of every fence on the farm into a memory that has never once been cleared.

He has done all of this while also being the single most cost-effective conservation intervention on the property.

These are not separate facts. They are the same fact.

Keith does not distinguish between the work and the escape. The escape is work. The work is escape. The fence is a project. The project is completed. The project leads to the next project. The knotweed leads to the churchyard. The churchyard leads to the road. The road leads back to the east ditch. The east ditch was cleared in one season.

There is a man named Steve who has filed twenty-nine formal complaints about Keith.

Steve's bindweed is gone.

Steve does not yet understand that these are the same story.

Dave has £387 in gate receipts, a positive net outcome column on every row since entry seventeen, a churchyard booking for next month, and a corner post with a 4mm flex that Keith has known about since Margot's visit and has not yet acted on.

Not yet.

Keith is not done.

Keith is never done.

Keith is ten thousand years of Zagros Mountain goat compressed into a Devon field, and the fence between him and the rest of the world has always been a negotiating position rather than a boundary.

Be ungovernable. Do the work. Leave the field better than you found it.

The knotweed is at 6%.

Keith is thinking.

George Lockhart tells us a lot about Scotland around the time of Union. He made a financial investigation in 1711 and he details how a sum of £20,540 17s 7d was distributed in bribes to the people listed to induce them to vote for union.

Donald Smith tells us:

"Most Scots were grateful for Cumberlands crushing of the Jacobites.

He was publicly honoured in Aberdeen & St Andrews, and granted the freedom of Glasgow. Unsurprising since, on their way south, the Jacobites had threatened to slaughter the people of Glasgow."

Lets see how this stands up to the actual historical record, you might not be surprised by the result. 👇

Pesticides lobbyists are attempting to prolong the use in Britain of toxic pesticides that are banned in the EU because they pose hazards like cancer, infertility, and groundwater contamination, an Unearthed investigation has found. 

The pesticides lobby group CropLife UK is pressuring ministers to reject a quick ban of the chemicals, which could otherwise happen next year under a planned deal to bring Britain’s agricultural rules closer to Europe’s. 

The group has highlighted 14 pesticides that have been prohibited in the EU since Brexit but are still used in Britain, and claimed that British farmers could lose up to £810 million from reduced yields if the UK moves quickly to EU standards.

However, an Unearthed analysis has found that ten of those substances were banned in the EU because they posed serious hazards to the environment or human health.
