Many many years ago in my school days History was not my favourite subject, mainly because to me is was all about remembering significant dates. I have always had a problem remembering dates and phone numbers, my brain just doesn’t work that way!

Every exam seemed about dates. But that aside only when my interest grew in Politics did I realise that even in Scotland all our texts books were written by English Historians, therefore everything written was from an English perspective.

Recently in Scotland things have changed, we now know more about our own history, but even this seems to have been quite limited. Not through any Political interference but lack of detailed knowledge. Put quite simply we didn’t have access to the most important documents.

We do now!

And surprise, surprise everything we thought we knew has been turned upside down.

I will not repeat what has already been put up on Social Media Today but I will ask you to read the links below. This blogger is far more knowledgeable than I am and as such deserves our attention and respect.

Fascinating is it not?

And the thing to remember is, these claims come from actual Legal Documents until now never seen.

Someone in Westminster knew all this, but not necessarily our humble MPs for this is specialist stuff but also explosive. So explosive it had to be hidden for a few centuries in the hope Scotland would forget, and they did!

I must admit though that I am a wee bit apprehensive about all this coming to light now. Westminster needs the resources more than ever just now and it worries me how they might react to all this. No doubt they will initially rubbish it but once it all hits the International Courts I believe them to be capable of anything. This will bring so much disruption to the likes we have never known.

Sensible dialogue does not happen when people are desperate, darker methods are more often used. I fear for a number of people and the squeeze put on Scotland.

Nicola said today that she believed a win in a defacto General Election might lead to a Referendum!

MIGHT?

So, here we go again another game of might not or maybe, leading only to asking for a Section 30 and we all know what the answer will be.

So let’s be absolutely honest here. The earliest date of a maybe Referendum will be 2026, except as I said it won’t happen.

I was pondering tonight about the difference between now and 2014. Many say it was down to the AS factor, yes it was in part but the other factor was even greater. At that point, the Westminster Unionists believed they would win hands down.

Now they know they won’t.

It was only nearing the end of the last Referendum campaign that they suddenly realised they wouldn’t and out they trotted with the infamous Vow. A genius stroke of Political Scull Duggery.

Many Scots believed because it was signed by the Party Leaders it was a Party promise but it wasn’t, it was mastered by Better Together Ltd and as such did not break Purdah.

It was just words and meant nothing as many of the astute Yes members realised, but it was enough to sway the doubters.

The Tories know they will never be able to pull that trick out of the bag again just as they know in the Political realms of Westminster all they have to do is keep saying No until all our assets have gone.

So what’s the point of continuing to go down the same dead–end road?

There are other roads and Legal. Other Countries in their quests for Independence have successfully taken them, and for us, The Liberation Movement is one of them. There may be others, I don’t know of.

But at the very least they should command our attention. The attraction being they are not Political in the sense of being a Political Party. Anyone of any Party is free to follow and sign up without feeling they are betraying their allegiance to their own Party.

Over the past 60yrs or so there has not been one Country that has not had to fight for its Independence from the UK, for some earlier countries it was actual hand-to-hand combat!

So why are our Scottish Politicians trying to be so nice about it, so touchy feely even! We’ve all seen the photos of Blackfords arm around Mordaunts shoulder😂

So as weary of this battle as I am, let us the People take up the charge and walk the road to Independence on whichever path the UN will allow us to take.

Just believe!

When you look at things from a different perspective your thinking begins to change but so often we see things as problems because we refuse to change our perspective.”

A follow up from my last blog!

Focusing on a different road does not come easy especially when age is against you as it is in my case. In certain circumstances, it is however essential and the Road to Independence is one of those circumstances!

Robert Peston is right, there is a fault line in British Politics. One that was deliberately put there by Westminster Politicians. Interestingly, most of the Laws and Acts that are always referred to are quite modern.

Post Oil!!!

There has been much clarity this week as to what we can and can not do about our quest for Independence, A different perspective is needed.

Unlike Peston, I still think Independence minded Politicians can still take us to our goal but only if they can change their focus. Looking for loopholes in British Law is a waste of time only International Law can change the status quo.

Sadly however they don’t appear to want to use the tools Scotland already has within The Claim of Right to do so.

As they say, ‘The Devil is in the Detail’, so it could be the case that our Independence-minded MPs & MSPs are not acquainted with the depth of knowledge and power contained within The Claim of Right. That is not a criticism for these things require specialist attention, experts in the field of Law especially Constitutional Law.

However, to neglect what has already been discovered about the Claim of Right just because others of a different Party are involved shows a great disservice to the People of Scotland.

In my humble opinion if they don’t grasp the nettle soon they will find that we the People will do it for them.

Westminster agrees, in Scotland, it is the People who are Sovereign, it is now time to show them what that means.

And as for Holyrood it is time to bring the biggest and the best brains together to start and use the tools we have. The UN has already shown Salvo the way ahead but we need everybody including our Politicians, if they will, to take us there.

But be under no illusion WE the people will go it alone if we have to!

In many ways, the Supreme Court did us a favour yesterday. At least we know for definite where we stand and it ain’t what Westminster would have us believe.

For those who have not read the full ruling, let me tell you something you may not know and was certainly a surprise to me. Deep within the ruling, you will find these words.

The purpose of the proposed Bill is to hold a lawful referendum on the question of whether Scotland should become an independent country, that is, on ending the Union and the sovereignty of the United Kingdom Parliament over Scotland.”

Note the highlighted words which were repeated three times.

So according to this ruling it is the Westminster Parliament who has Sovereignty over Scotland, not the People of Scotland!

When did this change?

Only a couple of years ago Westminster ruled that it was the People of Scotland who were Sovereign according to the Claim of Right. This was also confirmed when King Charles took an oath and signed a Declaration saying he would uphold it.

One thing is for sure, yesterday’s judgement certainly fanned the flames of the Independence movement as thousands gathered in cities across Scotland from Orkney to Dumfries.

My own Twitter line also had many comments from people in England who felt embarrassed at the judgement citing the absence of Democracy.

So, let us not be disheartened because knowing the truth is the first step to freedom.

The plan now should be to work together on a route that can encompass all Independent Parties to walk the same road, hand in hand.

Section 30 is dead and buried, there are other routes.

The goal is Independence!

Last week I read a report that indicated a large number of Transwomen prisoners revert to being male upon being released from Women’s prisons.

This poses two questions to me. Firstly how many times can or should a Transperson be able to change their Gender? Or to put it bluntly, should flip-flopping be allowed?

This is an important question because if it is more than once then the disruption caused to several services would be quite significant not to mention the public in general.

Secondly, with regards to ex prisoners. Does reverting to ‘male’ suggest their motives were not entirely truthful in the first place?

I suppose this leads on to another question, should Transwomen even be in female prisons? If the answer is yes, then what happens if a woman is raped by a Transwoman? Please don’t say it never happens because this is a regular occurrence . Who is ultimately responsible for the safety of women in prisons, and are their rights protected by law or does nobody care?

This all may sound anti Trans but it isn’t. I don’t care what a person wants to be but I do care about the changes in Law that activists are trying to force through and their consequences to others.

These huge changes have consequences for everyone so it is important to get the Law right because bad Law comes with its consequences.

I have spoken about ‘Activists’ before, they generally have an agenda of their own and do not define Transpeople as a whole not to mention the destructive way they are trying to abolish the LGB movement.

If Scotland does not get this Law right and in line with the Equality Act then hundreds of battles will end up in court costing millions. Monies that should be spent combatting the cost of living crisis or going into the SNHS.

I would rather Holyrood would return to a consensus government again than have a party running it where it is being held hostage by another who is pushing their agenda through instead of the priority which is Independence.

I never thought I would live to see the day when a woman wearing a scarf made up of Suffragette colours would be asked to remove it or leave Holyrood .

This is not satire folks it is real in 2020 in our Parliament today!

I am beyond angry!

All of these women sitting around this table going through the GRA amendments are there because of what the Suffragettes did as are many more in different professions.

The right for women to vote was just the start, but today in Holyrood their hard-fought rites we trampled on by this SNP/Green Government.

I am left wondering if I really want to live in a Scotland run by an SNP GOVERNMENT.

A government that by the way even silenced one of their own for protesting at this move.

And you think only Westminster is run by a dictatorship!

All this is still being rolled out despite the above, how much more cash is Nicola going to splash on something she can never win?

How Laywers love her, jobs for life as far as Nicola is concerned!

It’s November, but not the November we are used to.

Plants are re-flowering, and people are back in t-shirts. The winds are up but they are warm.

We may be enjoying these conditions but something is wrong, very wrong and sometime down the line we will pay for the Climate chaos that is impending.

Be it through flooding, or drought, the world’s food crops and infrastructure will bare the brunt.

Promises have been made again at COP27, yet we haven’t even managed to meet last year’s targets, and even worse the UK has been in a rush to issue more licences to extract even more oil out of the North sea.

Corporate greed disguised as the need for energy !

Yes, we need energy, green energy, but then there’s not much profit it that, so oil it must be. This by the way is the oil Scotland was told in 2014 was running out!

As a child, I remember the hard cold winters. In those days we had four very distinctive seasons, now they just seem to blend into each other. And believe it or not, that is not good for our health or the Planet.

Another word or words for spectrums is ‘wide variations’.

When people, particularly professionals talk about Spectrums they do so about facts. Take for instance Autism.

Autism is a recognised illness, a fact, and where austitic people are on the spectrum or ladder varies from mild symptoms to severe. It is the same with Mental Health which can range from mild depression to suicidal.

In Scotland at the moment there is much discussion about the so called Gender spectrum. There are those that are trying to change the word ‘sex’ for ‘gender’.

Gender however is not a fact as sex is.

Gender is an ideology and yes it has its own range of characteristics, but these are mainly about language where nouns are assigned to different categories.

Gender is something that has been socially constructed.

In law, gender characteristics do not replace sex and therefore cannot usurp sex based rights for women.

A man or woman for that fact can choose to call themselves any sex, they can even dress as so but that does not mean they are legally so in all matters. They may even have a transitioning certificate which may give them some protections, and rightly so but scientifically and medically they remain the sex they were born with.

Trans people have been around for many decades so why all of a sudden have they come to the forefront? If you cared to have a discussion with a trans person you would find the answer to that question is the same as many other group these days. The answer is Activists!

Activists come in two groups, those who genuinely have a grievance about something and want to bring it to everyone’s attention by peaceful means and those who have a chip on their shoulder or have another agenda altogether. The latter can be very dangerous angry people.

As far as some Trans activists are concerned you can also tell who they are by their hatred towards women. The question I have to ask is, why are some transwomen, who say they want to be a woman hate women so much? To me, the two don’t colerate which in turn makes me very suspicious about their agenda.
