The ‘system’ dictates that First Ministers automatically become Privy Counsellors.
Privy Counsellors advise the King/Queen. They are supporters of the monarchy.
How is that compatible with campaigning for Independence? It isn’t, unless, of course, you want the monarchal system to stick around!
Somehow I don’t think this is what the People of Scotland have in mind, because as we know, in Scotland, the People are sovereign.
The one thing you cannot do, when it comes to the Constitution is, have a foot in both camps.
Excuses have defined our government for too long, as have broken promises. Why then should we now believe they have found a way?
The SNP say they are the only ones who can bring about Independence, but don’t explain why they have done nothing for the last 10 years. Or indeed their grand new plan.
Devolution if it was anything, was a trap. All it produced was an executive arm of Westminster with Ministers tied to the Monarchy for life!
Liberate Scotland is aiming higher, by replacing the Monarchy with the Sovereign People of Scotland.
A Scotland that is truly free to set out its rights and responsibilities in an updated Constitution.
We don’t want the 2026 Commonwealth Games.
It’s time to stop their games and start ours!!
If we all stand up together at the same time, like at the 2026 Election, we can do this.
We need to put real independence-minded people’s bums in the seats of Holyrood for a start. People who will rattle cages and cause a stushie!….. and I know a few who will do just that!

We need to take our fight to Holyrood before we take it anywhere else!
If you are up for it, this is the place to start.
JOAN’S JOURNEY CONTINUES 
If ever any sight would give call to a Sovereign Scot, for the need to (excuse me) ‘throw up’, it’s the abhorrent sight of ANY First Minister of Scotland, bowing in deference to the foreign English Colonialist parasite, at the centre of and central to the survival of the foreign English Establishment et al.
Their ‘representative parasitic Monarch of the time’, is sent to remind the indigenous people of the Colonised Nation, of OUR ‘places’ underfoot THEM and the rest of the English Establishment!
CHOOSING to bow down to that foreign English Colonialist parasitic imposter, is Swinney’s confirmation of HIS acquiescence of the subjugation and subordination of WE Sovereign Scots.
Swinney knows how we feel about him/ANY bowing down to that foreign English parasite at the centre of and central to THE ENGLISH ESTABLISHMENT, yet he chooses to do so.
Swinney and his ilk are an affront to Scotland, who have chosen to continually dismiss the Will of the Sovereign People of Scotland.
Be assured he/and the rest of his ilk, WILL be remembered for their treachery and slight to Scotland!
HASTE THE DAY
when we Sovereign Scots boot the hell out of Scotland
these foreign English Colonialist warmongering, corrupt, thieving oppressors
IN PERPETUITY!
HASTE THE DAY!
It is certainly enough tae gie ye the boak. A similar pose to the one Sturgeon struck if I recall.
