Yep! Although the Scottish Crown *still* exists!
That’s because the treaty was discarded; no new crown of Britain was attempted and the English coronation oath was “extended to Scotland ”!! ‘Extended to Scotland’, read that carefully. Not a new joint kingdom which requires a new joint crown. Englands crown extended *over* Scotland. A totally different and incompatible institution and with no agreement to make that legal.
Because of this, Scotland’s Crown co tinted as a constitutional reality and Scotland remains a ‘sovereign territorial nation’ - a highly unusual though not unique status.
The British Crown, so-called, is just the English crown. No single kingdom exists. Treaty void. But, then, in the relationship of annexer and annexed there’s no need for a *real* treaty - certainly not for a tyrant (literal meaning), to take the oath to the crown of an annexed people. And there you have the grim reality behind the myths and fables of the happy-clappy story of a partnership that never happened
We can’t rejoin the EU while the Freeports and SIZ’s are in place as they are presently set up. They violate EU rules and the Scottish Administration at Holyrood knows this. John Swinney has protected the corporate sovereignty these zones guarantee (in violation of the territorial sovereignty of the people), by failing to ratify the Aarhus Convention which would limit corporate environmental impunity. So his corporate loyalty - despite his environmental obligations in international law and the barrier the zones represent to EU membership - is very clear. And what all that means is that this white paper is pure bluff produced to look like a real commitment to independence. You do not peddle fiction if you are serious and genuine.
Scots are a people with the inherent and inalienable right of self-determination under the UN Charter. We have a right to national Independence
It is impossible to believe both that Scots have a right to self determination, and that Independence requires permission from London

@joannaccherry I sincerely hope you are waiting in the wings to put belief in the truth of the requirement for independence back at the forefront of the Scottish psychie for the 2026 election and at the core of everything the SNP does and are. You might be the only one capable.

Why should we, the Scottish taxpayer, pay for the upgrade to Ardrossan dock, fully owned and neglected by a Manchester billionaire tax exile ? https://t.co/1NqRBseeeI just more asset stripping of Scotland’s infrastructure which used to be owned by the Burghs - #EndTheUnion
Rachel Reeves says Heathrow third runway expansion would boost exports of Scotch whisky & Scottish salmon. Scottish goods exporting more via London not Scotland. Great. Also a cynical passing mention of Scotland when all actual investment is south of border. Even energy.
I have sent an email to @JohnSwinney@ScotGovFM on behalf of the ‘ not taking oath ‘ campaign team , @mickbrick54@Allanpetrie91 , with the letters we have sent to @HouseofCommons & our Presiding officer in @ScotParl , the reply we received from HoC and lastly our reply , so he is fully updated .
We look forward to his response .

Does wind, wave, tide & hydropower make Scotland a tasty proposition? Is our country beautiful, resourceful & welcoming? Are we a' Jock Tamson’s bairns? Still European? Determined to axe Trident? Ready for independence? Yes. @believeinscot speech.

35 years ago we were called the ‘ Guinea pigs ‘ for the poll tax.
Freeports are a much bigger threat and danger to every single person living in Scotland
