The map is of British Army outposts in Scotland after the butchery of Culloden in 1746: https://t.co/jdTEiSCZ7z Yet they tell us that Scotland wanted the union & it is a fair and equal union. Oh & BTW we can leave anytime. lol

[Craig Murray @CraigMurrayOrg]

About 1600 Scots, formed 20 % of the English army at Culloden were Scots.
Almost every imperial army of the period contained troops from the colonised - 20% was low .
The Jacobite army at Culloden was about 5,000 men almost all Scots (the French regiment was the Royal Ecossais). Some Irish picquets.
Falkirk saw the largest single Jacobite army of the 45, about 12,000 Scots. In all, over 20,000 Scots were mobilised in Jacobite armies at different times in 45/6, but not all at once.
That is out of an overall estimated potential of 30,000 fencible men in Scotland.
A maximum of about 3,000 Scots took the field against the Jacobites at any time in 45/6. Mostly because they were already in the British army. They didn't join up to fight the Jacobites.
Only the dependably traitorous Campbells of Argyll specifically took the field to pursue old feuds. And by no means all Campbells.
Twice as many Hessian mercenaries as Scots were on the English side in Scotland in 45/6. That is a key statistic.
The notion it was a Scottish "civil war" is an imperialist myth believed by brainwashed unionists.
Read Pittock, Reid and Pollard.

Anyone with a minuscule of knowledge would look at that picture & only come to the conclusion that it wasn’t union - it was military occupation.

[Sara Salyers @SSalyers2]

Hmmm. I seem to have answered this more than once.

All you need to do is follow the thread of logic. The Scottish Crown was annexed by the extension of the English Coronation Oath and English treason law to Scotland making Scots into what? (It’s not hard wee unionist!) Behind all the convoluted language, the extension of the English Coronation Oath and English treason law over Scotland made Scots into … subjects of the English Crown. Of course the treaty and acts of union called for a single kingdom/crown and adding Scotland to England’s Crown did not accomplish that. Turning S its into English subjects did not accomplish that and was never lawful.
Even annexed the Scottish Crown remains as a legal and constitutional fact though without its own monarch and administered by England’s. But that is why public servants swear their oaths to an English monarch of an English state (it’s pseudonyms are Britain and U.K.), exactly as all England’s colonial subjects have been required to do.

Liberation Scotland, with the grateful support of the Colombian NGO Maloca Internationale, hosted a fringe event at the 62nd session of the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva on 29 June 2026. The speakers were Sara Salyers and Chris Dorigné-Thomson, alongside Ambassador Ronald Barnes of the Indigenous Peoples and Nations Coalition of Alaska. Chairing the meeting and also speaking was Professor Alfred-Maurice de Zayas, the distinguished American-born international jurist, academic, and author, known for his extensive UN career and his critical perspective on the international human rights system.
The event's theme was "Challenging Colonialism – the Solidarity of the Oppressed." A growing chasm has opened between the human rights rhetoric heard at the United Nations and the foundational principles of the UN Charter, on the one hand, and the practice of untempered unipolar US power on the other. In the face of its relative decline and the rise of centres of multilateral economic and political power worldwide, now generally considered unstoppable, the US has increasingly resorted to displays of imperial might and colonial aggression not seen since the nineteenth century.

International law still matters, and the attempt by Western powers to supplant it with a "rules-based order" - one tailored to favour the powerful and dominate the smaller, weaker, and less developed - must be brought back into alignment with the UN's founding principles and the rule of international law. A critical element of this recalibration will be a renewed UN approach to enforcement, achievable only through a solidarity of the world’s 193 nation states, in particular those of Asia, Africa and the Global South, and the non-aligned nations, that has so far shown itself to be inadequate.

Professor de Zayas, in making his arguments, drew particular attention to the case of Scotland – a small and ancient nation state subsumed by the politics and ambitions of a more powerful state, suggesting that Scotland's potential repossession of sovereignty could send a strong signal to the world: that the actions of colonial powers, even at their very core and dating from their earliest colonial enterprises, have yet to be fully remedied in today's world.

[Angry Pict @SymbolStones]

London, you've got a major problem:

"Professor de Zayas, in making his arguments, drew particular attention to the case of Scotland – a small and ancient nation state subsumed by the politics and ambitions of a more powerful state, suggesting that Scotland's potential repossession of sovereignty could send a strong signal to the world: that the actions of colonial powers, even at their very core and dating from their earliest colonial enterprises, have yet to be fully remedied in today's world."

This is a significant intervention from a respected UN insider. Professor de Zayas is from inside the UN human-rights machinery, at senior level.

He was the first UN Independent Expert on the Promotion of a Democratic and Equitable International Order (the Human Rights Council mandate, roughly 2012–2018), and before that spent decades as a lawyer in the UN human-rights secretariat - secretary to the Human Rights Committee and head of its petitions unit. So he ran the individual-complaints machinery of the ICCPR treaty body from the operating side.

He's also a historian of forced population transfers and Nuremberg, and a professor at Geneva.

When someone with that CV draws attention to Scotland's subsumption as an *unremedied colonial act*, it's a practitioner's assessment from within the system, and an indication of how seriously Scotland's claim is now being taken.

Ireland had MP’s at Westminster till 1922 - Ireland is a former colony.

The Duke Of Wellington (Born Dublin,Ireland) became UK PM.

Scotland is in a unique position where 90% of the television, radio and newspapers are actively working for a foreign government, against the interests of the Scottish people.

If you're watching the BBC, you're watching propaganda not journalism!

English colonial extraction in Scotland is well over 150 billion pounds per year, making Scotland the most plundered country in the world.

[Sara Salyers @SSalyers2]

From Prof Alf Baird:
Recent articles in The National questioning “Why are SNP figures not making a compelling case for independence?”
It seems as if intellectuals on the left, including Shafi, Riddoch etc, still ignore postcolonial theory, which tells us the answer, as Fanon explained:

– the dominant national party ‘makes an accommodation with colonialism’;
– the party becomes ‘infiltrated’ by colonial actors;
– the party elite ‘feathers its nest’ and ‘builds up its pensions’;
– it ‘takes the movement up a blind alley’;
– the party elite refuse to act on the most urgent matter of ‘freeing the people’ because they ‘fear the colonizers tanks and planes’;
– it ‘attacks the radicals in the party’ also ‘using colonial forces’ to punish them;
– it ‘behaves like a gang’ and appoints its friends to key positions;
– the party ‘depends on slogans’ and leaves the matter of independence’ to future events’;
– the party ‘becomes calcified’, immobile, unable to move forward;
– it lacks any ‘innovation’ on the cause;
– it ‘delays independence’ which is what leads ‘to conflict’;
– it ‘ruptures the movement’;
– it works ‘to keep the racket going;
– the elite become ‘colonial watchdogs’;

– and, finally, once the people figure out they have been duped, ‘the national party disintegrates’, which is what we are seeing now.

Why did the Anglo-British state apparatus try to manufacture a scandal over a four-minute extract from a play that questioned not only its version of Scottish history, but the counter-narrative too?

For 19 years, the people of Scotland have repeatedly renewed the SNP's mandate at the ballot box. Democracy means respecting those choices.

It's time to honour that mandate and let Scotland decide its own future with an independence referendum...

Just another reason to add to the list why Scotland needs independence as you all know the UKG is about to ride roughshod over the Scottish people not wanting nuclear built here

INDEPENDENCE - YOU 'YES' YET?

Arrogant House Jock of the entitled kind who thinks democracy annoying, wants Westminster to withdraw powers from the Scotland Act.

What a surprise.
