There is only one way for Scotland to restore its independence.
Not by ‘asking’.
Not by begging.
Independence can only be restored by TAKING it back.
Always Scottish never British 🏴✊🏼

319 YEARS OF BRITISH INCOMPETENT ADMINISTRATION…
And it’s no wonder that Scots have demanded that the illegal Union is dissolved.

WHERE IN SCOTLAND?
Where is this?
This is part of an image that appears somewhere on Undiscovered Scotland. Please reply with your answers. We'll award kudos to the first correct response before posting the next in the series tomorrow. Some signs have been obscured.
ALT Today's 'Where in Scotland' image. It is a squarish image showing a view up a sloping street in a town. There are shops at ground floor level, especially on the more visible left side of the road and some of the buildings are stone and decorated. A church spire can be seen in the upper left of the frame, while in the lower right is a single storey with roof window building. The sky is blue.

No, we certainky did not. A sloppy and uninformed assertion from Robin. The term 'voluntary union' Sara has traced back to the 1800 union with Ireland and subsequent Irish denial of its voluntary nature. Coercion is the accusation, just as we know it pervaded the 1707 union with Scotland. The voluntarism referred to relates to this union and the puzzling declaration by the British state in 1954, apparently otiose, given no-one, at least in Scotland, was asking the question, that Scotland joined England as a voluntary partner and not as a dependency (colony). It's purely on this statement that the British state rests its case that it alone has the right to "permit" Scottish independence. It's on this that it sinks or swims – and retains any negotiating rights, if Scots wish to leave – in international law. No half-baked, non-binding 'referendum', distorted by the lack of self-executing function, an internationally unacceptable franchise, massive state, media and corporate propaganda and a last minute Vow can, or ever sensibly would, be relied upon by the British state to claim the 2014 "referendum" was Scotland's definititive choice to forego its sovereignty for that of England. Robin, sorry to say, just made that up. He's not a history fan by his own admission, but to talk on any of this, he might at least read some of the documentation published by Professors Baird and Black, and Sara Salyers.

I just received a message from the outskirts of Kiev:
"Nobody here wants to fight against Russia, and our Ukrainian armed forces are now like a bucket with holes in the bottom. New recruits are constantly brought in, while almost everyone who can, hides or flees. Even people with an exemption from mobilization are being kidnapped. Some training camps have turned into prisons to prevent people from running away. Recruits get handcuffed during their transfer to the east.
I was born in Kyiv and live there. I'm almost 25 when my protection ends, and I wish for this country and this government to collapse as quickly as possible, because that's the only way to end the situation here with the Nazis who occupied this country in 2014."

I am deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Bloody Sunday campaigner John Kelly.
John was a proud Derry man who spent much of his life fighting for truth and justice.
His 17-year-old brother Michael was murdered by the British Army on Bloody Sunday, and for more than five decades John fought for justice, not just for his own family but for all those killed and injured that day.
Despite the continued denial of justice, John never gave up. His courage and determination in taking on the British state in the fight for justice was remarkable.
Through his campaigning and his work at the Museum of Free Derry, John made sure the story of Bloody Sunday was passed on to new generations and that the fight for justice would never be forgotten.
My heartfelt condolences go to John’s children, grandchildren and the wider Kelly family at this very sad time.

The only ground allowed to be heard in Supreme Court appeal was balance between countering terrorism and freedom of speech and assembly.
The judges referenced terrorism, terrorist or national security 60 times.
They mentioned freedom of speech zero times.

New documents released by the Scottish government under a freedom of information request show that data centres could cause water shortages, higher energy bills and power cuts.

It failed to meet normal international standards on every measure. It was designed and managed to produce the final result. By contrast, look at the conditions applied to the referendums in Gibraltar and the Malvinas where the U.K., confident of its settler populations, went above and beyond the standard applied even in its own elections in order to silence any suggestion of improper conduct and silence the critics in the international community. The govt was determined to show it had met every standard for a fair and impartial vote.
Not so in Scotland where it failed every one.
Please note, even all this still did not satisfy the C-24 or C4 and both remain listed as NSGT’s. (Btw, we use the word colony to make the point. The word colony is rarely used in modern law, but the reality people mean is still here: states administering territories beyond their *own* mainland.) A referendum cannot automatically resolve the unlawful annexation of a territory especially, as in Scotland’s case, when it ignores the principal requirement that a state must not interfere in the exercise of that expression of public will. A referendum conducted on the basis that a component part of a state is seeking secession is not the same as a referendum conducted by (not on behalf of), a still sovereign, annexed nation deciding, not whether to secede, but whether to accept its status on the annexing state’s terms, a status that is absent an operative treaty and absent any rights and obligations whatever under that treaty. This is *not* accepted in international law and the UK state knows this. That’s why it’s that state, not Liberation Scotland, which first raised the question - in 1954 - of whether Scotland was a dependency, colony, in order to publicly deny it. It’s time our self appointed pro-indy spokespersons understood this also.
The cosmetic exercise of ‘the referendum’ was organised to produce exactly Robin’s belief that whatever our status before it, after the referendum this became a voluntary union. That, as you can see, I hope, is not true.
The flagrant manipulation of the process aside, if Scotland was annexed prior to the referendum then a poll managed by the occupying state, (including control of the postal ballot), and which allowed that state to break the terms of the Edinburgh agreement but not the Scottish ‘side’, and which was non binding, is not a legitimate expression of self determination. That unmediated and free, fair process is yet to take place.
P.S No matter who agreed to it, a franchise which includes 2nd home owners, temporary residents (students, military, temporary workers) and recent arrivals disqualifies the referendum as a test of the will of the Scottish people.

Of course, it's fashionable to sneer at anything remotely socialist. Mention China and out come the tired stereotypes about cheap labour, bowls of rice and a population supposedly incapable of doing anything but copying Western inventions.
Well, somebody forgot to tell the Chinese.
While we've spent decades outsourcing our industries, selling off our national assets and accepting managed decline as though it were some unavoidable law of economics, China has been building an industrial powerhouse.
The country once dismissed as the world's factory for cheap imitations now leads the world in international patent applications. It builds infrastructure, develops advanced technology and competes at the cutting edge of manufacturing. It also has one of the world's largest populations of dollar millionaires. So much for the old caricatures.
And here's the uncomfortable part. We've helped finance that extraordinary rise through decades of imports, while our own industrial communities have watched factories close, skilled jobs disappear and productive capacity move overseas. Western corporations enjoyed the profits. The working class was left to pick up the pieces.
China has its own problems, including inequality and workers' rights, as have many countries. But dismissing its achievements because its economic model doesn't fit Western political orthodoxy is intellectual laziness.
Now look at what happened on 1 November 2026.
Chinese manufacturer BYD's Yangwang U9 Xtreme became the first production car to break the 500 km/h barrier, reaching an astonishing 503.17 km/h (312.65 mph) on a closed highway in Abu Dhabi.
And it did it with an ELECTRIC car.
Driven by German racing driver Marc Basseng, with four electric motors producing more than 3,000 metric horsepower, the U9 Xtreme achieved an FIA-recognised speed and two Guinness World Records for its single-direction run.
For decades, European manufacturers dominated the supercar world. Now a Chinese electric vehicle has crossed a speed barrier none of them managed to breach.
There's a lesson here that goes far beyond fast cars.
A country that invests in engineering, industrial capacity and technological development can achieve extraordinary things. A country that treats manufacturing as yesterday's business and relies on imports, financial speculation and rising property values should hardly be surprised when it falls behind.
We helped feed the dragon while allowing our own industrial strength to wither.
The question isn't how China became an industrial giant. It's why our political leaders were so willing to let Britain stop being one.
It was always about profit...never doubt that...

Prof. Jeffrey Sachs:
"How many wars has China🇨🇳 been in, in the last 40 years? Let me count them…zero. Not one war in 40 years.”
The US has been at war and bombing other countries for approximately 229 years out of 250 years of its existence.
92% of the time throughout its existence, the US has been bombing, pillaging, stealing, and invading.
Brandon Weichert: ‘The US🇺🇸 was NOT supposed to be an adventurous IMPERIAL POWER going abroad in search of monsters to destroy.’
‘The reason I wrote the book is because last year, the Trump administration announced in their National Security Strategy memo and then again in their National Defense Strategy memo: judge us by the wars we don’t fight, not the wars we do fight. That’s what they said.
And we were going to be focusing, they said, on the Western Hemisphere.
Now, obviously, the Donroe Doctrine is not what I had in mind, but the idea that we were going to be doing Western Hemispheric defence on top of focusing on domestic issues here in the United States, that was what I thought was the Trump agenda, the Trump doctrine, if you will.
But then by February 28th, as you know, the whole thing changed. It’s as if the President didn’t even read his National Security Strategy memo.
So I felt compelled to write a book that reminded readers why we are not supposed to be this expeditionary, adventurous imperial power, going abroad in search of monsters to destroy, as John Quincy Adams once famously said, and we are supposed to be focused much closer to home.
And now it’s a tripolar system internationally, trending multipolar. You could already say it is multipolar, but really there’s three main powers right now that are military and economic, and that’s the United States, China, and Russia.
We need to have a better strategy than the one we’ve been using since 1991, because that one was predicated on hegemony. Well, we can’t be a hegemon anymore.
We have spheres of influence, and we’re going to need to enforce the spheres of influence. China’s doing that in their part of the world. Russia’s doing that in their part of the world. We haven’t been doing it in our part of the world.
And the key thing here is when I say enforce the sphere of influence, it’s not military first. It’s not send CIA paramilitaries to a country we don’t like in Latin America and knock off the country. The whole currency of the realm in 21st century international affairs is geoeconomics. It’s trade.
First and foremost, it’s the economy, and so you have to be able to make your first point of contact in terms of foreign policy the economic front. The United States used to be good at this.
This was what the founders wanted us to do. I quote George Washington effusively in the book. This goes back to the founding, a commercial republic, and that’s what we need to go back to. And unfortunately, under this President, we’ve lost sight of that completely.’
