Ever heard of John Pierce? An agent of the author Daniel Defoe who was sent to infiltrate the Hebronite sect in the 1700s. #Hebronites #Covenanters #Defoe #ActofUnion
Today marks 319 years since the Acts of Union came into force, establishing the United Kingdom of Great Britain under Queen Anne.
Always thought it was a shame that May 1 isn't a major holiday and celebration of British history. Civilisations fade when they forget who they are.

#OTD 6 March 1707 #QueenAnne gave her Royal Assent to the #ActofUnion, uniting the #KingdomofEngland 🏴and the #KingdomofScotland🏴, which commenced on 1 May.
"They told us the 'Equivalent' was a payout for Darien. History shows it was a payday for the Rogues, trapping Scotland in London's debt. Only 25% was cash—the rest, London IOUs. The chain remains, just with a new currency. #IFCLens #ActOfUnion #Scotecon"
@NewnhamTony Here's the thing, only £100,085 was paid up front, the rest was met with Exchequer Bills, which could only be redeemed in London.
WM was so skint, it couldn't afford the £398,000 up front.
Scots taxes went into paying off the rest of the £398,000, after 1707, until 1727.

@barwaqo2022 @Presidencysl_ @khadarlooge @Abdirahmanirro @MYKAAHPARTY @XISBIGAKULMIYE To the leaders of Somaliland:
It’s time to acknowledge a historical fact - the union with Somalia was never legal.The Act of Union was not ratified and was never registered with the UN. Stand firm. Our legal case is clear.#Somaliland #ActOfUnion #TruthMatters #SelfDetermination
@TogetherUKFound Barely land, barely votes. Irish Catholics watched their Parliament dissolve into a Union that denied them seats. A voice without power is no voice at all. #ActOfUnion #NoVoiceNoVote
@TogetherUKFound 1800: Irish Catholics could barely vote—only if landowners. They lost their Parliament to the Union, and Westminster barred them from seats. No legislation without representation. #ActOfUnion #IrishHistory
The #ActofUnion b/t #Somalia & #Somaliland faces scrutiny. Somaliland authorities were not consulted on the final Act, raising concerns about the legitimacy of the union. By Paolo Contini https://t.co/ZK9pjnbihR
The merger of #BritishSomaliland & #ItalianSomalia into the #SomaliRepublic aimed to unify diverse legal systems. However, the #ActOfUnion, drafted & approved w/t #Somaliland's consent, undermined the initial treaty designed to protect clan sovereignty. https://t.co/ZK9pjnbihR
🧠 So is Scotland a colony?
Not officially.
But by legal standards - arguably yes.
The 1707 Union was a contested, coerced Treaty - & modern law may no longer defend it.
📢The world should listen.

#Somalia's claim over #Somaliland lacks legal basis. The 1960 #ActOfUnion was never ratified. Somaliland rejected the subsequent #Constitution #Referendum. It has been self-governing since the early 90s & seeks international re-recognition. #Africa https://t.co/SQB6DgpqQE
