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!
