‘‘The evidence points to only one conclusion. Scotland was annexed into a continuing English state. It was not a union of equals, but the absorption of a smaller, weaker nation into a larger, more powerful one.’’ @rblackqc speech at the UN in Geneva.

Estonia & Denmark quoted by Doug Alexander on #bbcgms to justify compulsory ID cards. Two key differences. Nordics have world’s highest levels of trust between citz and govt. UK doesn’t. Their ID cards were brought in to access services not isolate migrants. Big differences.

@LiberationScot @ymdawd Key point not included: there is no union. If Scotland is not a partner in a union as described by the the union agreement/treaty but is administered by a continuing England then it can only be dependency/colony/NSGT

Truss made my mortgage skyrocket. Brexit means I now can’t freely work or travel in the EU. The UK Govs have ensured my energy bills and food bills are continuing to soar. The SNP ensure my kids can study for free. The UK invests in the rich. Scotland invests in my family.

We have taken Scotland’s case for self-determination to the world stage — not as a political campaign, but as a civic issue. Now we must confront the deeper question: who truly benefits from Scotland’s continued union with England? This is no longer just a constitutional…

Yesterday, in Geneva, something occurred that the British State thought for over 300 years would never happen. For the first time ever, an audience of sixty international delegates heard the truth about Scotland's relationship with England and its colonial status within that…

Nothing screams “Mandelson-brokered deal” like auctioning off our values to BlackRock & Palantir for £150bn and a handshake with Trump. If investment comes at the price of our values, it’s not a bargain. It’s a bribe.

With USA trade deals being rather topical path the moment, I suggest that we need to be aware that the more our essential services and infrastructure become dependent on American technology the more we yield control of our destiny to USA.

Too poor’ to be independent? That’s rich — coming from a system that’s siphoned £400 billion from Scotland’s North Sea since 1975. Retweet if you’re done with this colonial arithmetic.

We struggle without an empire to support us. Isn’t that what impelled us to seek EU membership, and isn’t it the case that such membership masked our systemic deficiencies while it pertained?

Good Morning @TheTelegraph__ It’s gratifying to see that you’re upholding integrity and protecting our interests. Perhaps you could apply a similar degree of tenacity to probing these other cases?

The very people who promised you the earth over #Brexit are now promising you the earth over leaving the #ECHR. And you still believe them? More to the point their miracle Brexit helped to cause the boat crisis.

The ECHR was established to protect individuals FROM their governments. Its entire purpose is to frustrate politicians who want to do bad things to citizens. Farage is NOT your friend.
