Really? When it comes to Scotland that’s a legal fiction supported by a lie.
There is no British monarch unless British means purely English. The Scottish Crown was ‘annexed’ to that of England (or as the HoC massages it, the English Coronation Oath ‘was extended to Scotland’), in flagrant violation of the whole purpose and supposed of effect of the Treaty and Union. (The creation of a single kingdom which required a single crown no ifs buts or maybes; Crown and kingdom are interdependent.) So two crowns remain. Which one owns the seabed? Legally the Scottish Crown, which is the legal identity of the Community of the Realm. i.e, the people not the monarch, own the sea bed.
That’s why the English Parliament had to pass an Act vesting oil and gas in ‘his majesty’ although English oil and gas are automatically ‘vested’ in the monarch as the Crown! Scottish oil and gas, 80.% of the total are vested in the annexed Scottish Crown. For the same reason Blair moved the maritime boundary of England to take part of the Scottish area. Utterly unnecessary if there were legally, and not just rhetorically a ‘single kingdom’ and a territorially united state of the U.K. Brits are brilliant at pretending to be all law abiding and all about legal authority. They are pirates.
Further proof of annexation/colonisation? Despite the continuation of the Scottish Crown, every English monarch since George I has taken a gobbledygook English invention they call the Scottish Oath of Accession (The real Oath is still on the states and still statutorily required). It’s a kind of concession to the conditions for the Scottish Crown - a crown he or she is not wearing, but administering as an English Crown territory.
Nothing exists to legalise this. There is no treaty that allows this. And in international law this is territorial alienation and a violation of a fundamental aspect of the right of self determination.
We have been fed utter bs by the British state as the fulcrum of all law, domestic and international. Expert voices, intimidating legal jargon and powerful positions substitute for clear eyed, hard headed fact and implication. In the name of God and the Scottish people when will we wake up and start comparing what we are told with what the facts, evidence and the precedents of international law tell us if we can just bring ourselves to discard the British (totally self contradictory) official constitutional narrative?
HOW do we restore our independence?
Beg Westminster for a referendum that they won't 'grant' and which would be useless anyway?
Or do we stop asking and TAKE back our independence?
It's time to TAKE

🧵 The Aftermath of the 1707 Union – What Really Happened?
Most people assume Scotland gained prosperity from the Union. But the reality was far darker - one of betrayal, economic decline, and rebellion.
Let’s break it down. 👇

If Scotland really is in a political union – which is what the UK is – then why is it that we get nothing from it for giving up our independence to be in it?

Still think that asking/demanding/begging the UK for another indyref that somehow will restore our independence is a good idea? There's only way to restore our independence and that's to take it. It's in the booklet from Project Arbroath at https://t.co/A9Ss22bjRX
Still think that asking the British government for another indy referendum is a good idea? (Hint: it really isn't). Inform yourself and others with 'How to take back our independence' from Project Arbroath. Thousands of people already have. Why not join them?
It's for you if you still think asking Westminster for indyref2 is a good idea (hint: it isn't). Get the booklet at https://t.co/p9BnExfd3k. Over 3,000 of your fellow Scots have one

“The people of Scotland must awaken to the reality that Holyrood, rather than being a true parliament for Scotland’s interests, is a carefully constructed mechanism to sustain the illusion of a union, BUT that in fact, drains Scotland’s resources & systematically undermines its cities, towns, & communities. With every passing year, Scotland receives less, while City of London & England trading as the fake construct commonly known as the “uk” profits more & more.
The so-called block grant is nothing more than a managed allowance, specifically designed to keep Scotland dependent while City of London / “uk” forcibly extracts wealth from our land, waters, & industries.
This is not a partnership. It is a deliberate economic stranglehold, ensuring Scotland remains a nation of concern in terms of health, wealth, & well-being. The statistics prove it, Scotland’s people suffer lower life expectancy, rising poverty, underfunded public services, & declining infrastructure, all while our vast natural wealth is siphoned off to sustain London & the South of England. This is no accident. It is a calculated policy of suppression, facilitated by the elites, the media, & the oligarchs who benefit from Scotland’s continued subjugation.
Scotland is a land of plenty, yet her people receive only enough to survive. A slow, systematic destruction of our nation is underway, not by open warfare, but through economic deprivation, forced austerity, & the erosion of our industries & communities. The very fabric of Scotland’s identity is being unraveled, and our people are being erased, subtly but relentlessly.
The truth is that Scotland does not need permission to leave this destructive and one-sided arrangement. The so-called “United Kingdom” is not a legitimate union , it is an imperial construct, never properly ratified as a treaty under international law, never lodged with the United Nations, & never agreed to by the people of Scotland under any democratic process.
The world must recognise that England, Britain, & Westminster are the last remnants of a colonial empire desperately clinging to power. Their use of vetoes at the UN to protect their own interests & destroy the futures of other nations & peoples is nothing short of an abuse of international governance, & Scotland’s continued captivity within this failed state is an international scandal.
That this deception has been allowed to persist without demand for proof of a legitimate treaty raises serious questions about accountability & credibility in upholding international law - the United Nations has a massive opportunity now to right this wrong for the world.
Scotland’s future is not one of decline but of massive potential. The resources, innovation, & talent exist for Scotland to thrive as an independent nation, free from the constraints of a decaying empire. The people of Scotland must now take ownership of their own destiny. The choice is clear—remain in a broken, exploitative system designed to ensure Scotland’s decline, or step forward as a sovereign nation, reclaiming the wealth, dignity, & future that is rightfully ours.
The world is watching. It is down to us & the time is now.!”
@IndyAsapScot Nice bit of writing, Catherine. But this “never properly ratified as a treaty under international law”. I see this more and more but don’t understand it. What were the Acts of Union for if not to ratify the treaty and bind both countries to it?
It’s for you if you think that all decisions about Scotland should be taken by Scotland and not by some other country.
