Over the past 300yrs or so there has been a gradual creep of power by Westminster over Scotland, it was as if Scotland were asleep.
To be fair nearly all Scots didn’t know they could stop this happening because all the documents pertaining to the Claim of Right were well hidden in another country.
Once England had dispatched all the relevant documents across the pond for safekeeping! {political speak for hidden!!} Westminster was able to interpret The Claim of Right from their own perspective or should I say in their own favour! They thought they had the right being the bigger partner, but it was illegal.
Add to that the historians who wrote the history books conveniently left out any mention of it. Some may have written about the Union from an English perspective with no detail of the truth that lay within it.
By doing that they began the slow creep of Power over Scotland. Yes there has recently been some vocal outrage but that’s about it. Gradually over the past 20yrs or so the truth has been coming out, documents uncovered, studied and a great light shone upon them.
Yet Scotland still seems to be asleep!
Our Scottish Parliamentarians occasionally use the words, ‘Claim of Right’ or ‘The people of Scotland are Sovereign ‘ a number of Unionist MPS have been heard to cry ‘here here’ but nothing changes, how come?
It’s a bit like an optical illusion, now you see it, now you don’t! The legal beadles down South use just enough language from the Claim of Right in any new Act, then add to it, to make it appear like the genuine article. This making all things illegal, look legal.
It’s all in the language!
Only those who are studying the original documents are beginning to see the lie, the fraud.
On May 6th both in Edinburgh and Glasgow there will be an opportunity to show our outrage, but we need more than people just shouting ‘Yes’ for Independence we need people to put pen to paper as it were and sign on the dotted line!!
Do something, don’t just shout about it.
The place where your words really mean something.
Scotland is being Asset stripped, stop this creep of power now. Politicians can’t but we can.
We have the means, all we need is the will.
