As we in Salvo continue on our journey built on our history I thought I would share a wee conversation I had with my grandson last night. We were talking about history lessons in school. Now although he has come to live up here and says he will never go back to England😂 he was educated in Carlisle.

I asked him what history he was taught at school, and his answer rather shocked me. Their history lessons were about WW1 & WW2 that’s it…….apart from…..you will never guess…Henry V111!

No Border Reivers, no Hadrians wall which runs through Carlisle and no history about Carlisle Castle!!!!

How odd, and why Henry V111, out of all the Kings and Queens like William, Richard or Elizabeth 1?

Now I can be a bit of a conspiracy freak at times😂😂, so the Q of why Henry V111 became, why not? Of all the Kings and Queens, it is Henry V111 and his ancient Laws that keep popping up in today’s Politics. The Tories dragged his Laws up from the grave to give standing to the Internal Market Act.

Politics has always as we know played a part in what history we are taught and what was omitted, so why not put his name into the minds of English children?

Am I imagining this ?

Back to the present! Yesterday’s March in Ayr gave the Stirling Directive a good airing! With many apparently signing up to Liberation. scot. The message is spreading like wildfire and people are eager for something to happen other than empty promises.

As I said yesterday we are the final arbiters when it comes to building a new Scotland and its Political framework. The fear of Salvo’s work was plain to see on Twitter last night 😂. You know you are doing something right when the attacks get personal.

It may be wet and dreek outside but there’s a glow inside us!

Let’s keep the Directive moving!
