DELEGATES to the   SNP's   online conference next month will seek a seamless trade between England and Scotland upon Scotland reasserting its statehood, however a Scottish referendum to reinstate Scotland's full statehood will not be discussed. First Minister of Scotland and SNP leader, Nicola Sturgeon, has said she will not pursue a referendum until covid has passed. The provisional agenda for the online SNP conference, being held from 26-29 November, reaffirms SNP's position for Scotland to rejoin the EU and to seek seamless trade between Scotland and England.  The SNP conference acknowledges that they will seek to re-join the EU in order to access free markets and increase trade. Whilst negotiating Scotland's membership of the European Union the Scottish SNP Government’s position will be to remain part of the Common Travel Area and to support the free movement of people, goods and services, with seamless trade between Scotland and England, and European Free Trade Aut...

 The Scots complain A LOT. How dare the English establishment mock our representatives they cry. Only they don't say English. Oh no, that would be to admit the truth that they try so hard to hide from themselves. What they say instead is Westminster and UK. It is the UK Government. The UK Supreme Court, UK law, "unwritten" constitution of UK, reserved to Westminster and yet they will call it an English parliament with a majority of English MPs. They even refer to parliamentary sovereignty and rules of parliament. Neither of which are applicable to the state parliament as they were from the English parliament prior to its abolition. So how do the English establishment see it? Let's look through their eyes. Ever since the Scottish civil wars of the 17th and 18th centuries the Scottish government has sought help from their treaty partner in curbing the unruly Scots and bringing them to heel. So much so that English garrisons were set up all over Scotland and all things S...

 What do you do when it is publicly pointed out that there is no Government of Great Britain, no constitution of Great Britain and no parliamentary sovereignty among the myriad other features that are missing from the treaty of 1707? When it is publicly pointed out that the current set up is mere convention and that CONVENTION IS NOT LAW? You quietly go about changing that situation. You rename yourself, publicly, you then set about ensuring that others refer to you by your new name giving you credence. The next step is to change the legal situation. EVEL was brought in to give legitimacy to the English government acting and legislating from within the parliament of Great Britain, in essence treating the parliament as English. Clause 38 had English parliamentary sovereignty written into it. The ability for "UK" government to ratify treaties was written into law. Note that the English government had Crawford and Boyle pen a paper stating that England was UK. To quote them ...

     As you know I have pointed out for quite some time that the English Act of Union Bill (2017-2019) was being enacted in all but name. Now it has replaced the original English Act of Union! During indyref the English establishment promoted the paper they commissioned Crawford and Boyle to pen stating that Scotland was extinguished and subsumed into a Greater England albeit under the new name of "UK". They then on 19 September 2014 drew up EVEL and had that enacted creating, in breach of the treaty, in essence an English parliament within the parliament of GB. Then they sought an exit from the EU. During that time though they drew up the English Act of Union (2017-2019) Bill. Facing opposition they let it sit and instead tried to write into law English parliamentary sovereignty via Clause 38. The building blocks were being put in place - the parliament and sovereignty. They then changed how Scots are identified internationally along with the name of the stat...

 This is a question I am often asked. The automatic response is, in which way isn't Scotland subjugated? But that makes the assumption that folk know what subjugation is. So what is subjugation? To Subjugate: to bring under control and governance as a  subject   :  CONQUER to make submissive  :  SUBDUE So which does Scotland fall under?  Well, it was never conquered. Garrisons were set up across Scotland in order to stop the Scottish civil wars at the bequest of the Scottish government and it had then as it does now its version of the Ross's, Davidson's, Blair's and Brown's. Scots who sought to endear themselves to their English counterparts by treating Scotland with utter disdain. Greed, corruption and a desire for power whether imagined or otherwise were their companions even to the detriment of the Scots who would have, given the chance, given them the Wallace treatment.  The Scots then, as now, were not subjects. They were not below the monarc...

 When we see someone self harming we try to get them help. If it is severe we may have an intervention and draw in support from all quarters. It is not easy to help someone who is in a downward spiral. The physical act of self harm is only the symptom and used to release a greater psychological pain which hides the true cause. It is extremely difficult to stop the act of self harm without addressing the root problem when the one harming will not open up or face their problems. That is not to say the act of grievous self harm cannot be prevented and even stopped but it is something that the person has to live with, scars and all.   But what happens when it is a collective psychologically in pain and actively self harming? How do we get them to address the root problem? We can draw their attention to the fact that they are committing acts of self harm but getting them to face it is even more of a challenge. Not only do you have to contend with helping an individual face the...
