"A parliament claiming unlimited power over Scotland has left the one instrument that denies the claim standing on the books, untouched, for three hundred years. You do not leave a live foundation standing unless you cannot remove it."
At the heart of Scotland's colonial capture is the Scottish Judiciary; a living paradox whose own benches, having declared at the highest level English parliamentary sovereignty unlawful in Scotland, exercise an iron fist over the people of Scotland to impose it. We may oppose 100% a law introduced in Scotland, yet the foundational instrument that guarantees our authority to reject that law - the Claim of Right - is disarmed by a Scots Judiciary whose very authority springs from that instrument.
There is the paradox, laid bare; that which accompanies each and every facet of the Anglo-British state's annexation of Scotland and ultimately makes a mockery of the British constitution that is widely recognised in international legal circles. As Liberation Scotland witnessed in conversation in Geneva only last week.
Eòin Màrtainn is examining here in detail something of great importance - the Scottish Judiciary as the stentorian guard of annexation. Please read.

In that case, India and Ireland were also colonisers - very bad. The truth? The colonised always become a resource for further colonisation.
In 1707, Scotland was dismantled as a state by England pending a ‘union’ that never happened. England continued as a state without a single alteration or a pause and called itself Great Britain. Following this annexation, Scots were used as administrators across the English empire because they were highly educated - compulsory education from the 1400’s and over 300 grammar schools for in Scotland, not just the wealthy few meant a highly literate population - very useful for running an empire.
Slave plantation owners? Especially in the death trap of the plantations where the English owners refused to set foot, Scots, now without prospects, colonised genocided and displaced, took on the management posts despite the high mortality and turnover. Made into proxies for the owners they were later counted as owners by historians because of the transactional documents where their names appeared. They acted in sales and transfers (through a special power of attorney) which is normally done only by an owner. But very few really were. Were they nice people who wanted to free the slaves or even treated them well? Probably not but owners they were not even though counted as such today.
So administrators become conflated with the real owners/extractors of wealth from human misery.
Now, enforcement arm of the English empire was the East India Company - evil embodied. It employed lots of Scots. But from its inception to its end it was entirely and legally, not British, but English only. Its charter stipulated that it was delegated its authority including devolved sovereignty strictly from the English Crown and the English Parliament (senate).
Scots as soldiers; administrators, proxy plantation owners mirror the way the Indian population was used. Over represented indeed. But like India, we had a handful of profiteers whose cronies should be remembered and stoned for.
A colonising nation, however Scotland was not.
@SovereignBain Robert the Bruce… wasnt he an Anglo-Norman noble? I know the de Brus’s had lands in Essex (Writtle and Hatfield Broad Oak), Cumberland, County Durham, Middlesex, Northumberland, and Yorkshire. Essentially it was a Norman noble versus an English noble having a scrap wasn’t it?
@SovereignBain And in 2026 you’re still run by Westminster and your football team is the laughing stock of the World Cup. And you bring up 1966 , 60 years ago as if it’s a lifetime away then try justify 1314 lol so deluded.. in our shadow and living rent free in your heads .
@stevenmcn86@SSalyers2@shellxalba You're missing the point Steven. We're a colony and as such we'll get no benefit from this; nothing new there then.
This is the point Sara is making
@SSalyers2 Scots received more compensation per head than any other part of the British isles
Glasgow was built on the profits of slavery
Scotland planned to work negro slaves to death in Panama
See the evidence from Stephen Mullen, the Scottish Historian who has written books this
@Scotlandsviews@DickWinchester That would mean that you are, jointly, the crown of Scotland
The system of government we had before 1707 was
More democratic
Fairer
Scottish
We need to restore proper democracy
That's the task of us all
Do a bit of research
You'll see what I'm talking about
@Scotlandsviews@DickWinchester Dear Scotland's Views
I don't really know who I'm talking to, you could be anyone. I'm assuming you're Scottish but you may not be. I'd just like to point out a few things.
Most people, by now, in Scotland have figured out that Scotland is an English colony;
@Scotlandsviews@DickWinchester Isn't hard to figure out.
The union of 1707 was a fraud, it never happened
Scotland's pathway to restoration of our sovereignty will be by international recognition, England won't have a say
Scotland's crown and territory is still intact
If you're Scottish, you are the crown
@JustineBrian@SymbolStones@SSalyers2 The Scottish Crown is the Scottish people Justine. The English Crown is a guy called Charles; one person as opposed to many millions in the case of Scotland.
The Scottish Parliament was vacated in 1707 by means of bribery, coercion, trickery, threats of violence etc.,
