    Indefinite occupation would be another way of saying it.

    A worrying development I have noticed in Westminster is the tendency of various policicians inclucing Rees Mogg to talk about the Sovereignty of the people but not necessarily just applying to Brexit.

    Is this an attempt to counteract the SNP position by claiming now ALL UK citizens have this same right?

    They know every dodge. I have always been taught the Queen devolves her Sovereignty go Parliament, rather than the people devolving it to Parliament, . I mean England specifically.

    We have to be careful of moves like this.

    I would suggest it is far from “clear” as the SNP have done nothing over the past 3 years to promote what an independent Scotland will look like or the vision for the future.

    Little wonder polls are still hovering on 50% as those still to make up their minds have zilch information on what our future may look like out of the UK. With a GE looking imminent, do they really think they can get the benefits of independence across in only few weeks? A real wasted opportunity and still silence.

    says:

    In indyref1 there was an underlying tactical failure wthat made the YES campaign reliant on what the UK state and EU would say and do.

    This created huge uncertainty about the Pound and Scotland’s continuing EU membership. The debate and uncertainty about the Pound was the result, not the underlying tactical failure.

    Has that primary lesson been learned? No.

    Ever since, the SNP have followed exactly the same procedure: waiting to see what the UK state / agents of the UK state ( Unionist parties) decide about Scotland.

    Likewise, exactly the same about Brexit / Scotland’s EU membership.

    Absolutely no assertion of the sovereign / legal right of Scotland to remain in the EU.

    The whole conduct of the SNP has been passivity and empty rhetoric.

    The only fights have been with regard to Sewel Convention ( devolution); Continuity Bill ( devolution) and Crown / executive powers v UK Parliament.

    Not once has the SNP made ANY attempt to assert a sovereign / legal right that Scotland’s people should not be dragged out by UK Parliament / expelled by the EU Commission from being equal European EU citizens with the same fundamental rights in law as other EU citizens.

    There is no legal precedent for EU citizens to be dragged out of the EU against their will. That this did not face a legal challenge speaks volumes.

    The SNP simply did the same as UK Govt and the EU: they accepted English Crown in UK parliament is sovereign. Thus, UK Parliament has the legal right to kick / drag Scotland’s citizens out of the EU against their democratically established desire to remain EU citizens.

    As in Indyref1 the SNP have capitulated our fate into the hands of the UK state and EU.
    They then seek electoral success based on blaming others for what they did without accepting ANY responsibility for what the SNP has NOT DONE.

    Their failure of duty in failing to make any attempt whatsoever in defending and upholding Scottish sovereignty within the UK and European Unions.

    He is doing extraordinarily well. He does so many interviews for the range of media that what worries me most is whether his health will stand up to the strain.

    Ian is my MP and he responds very promptly to any communication despite the huge amount of work he is doing at Westminster.

    The financial sector in UK is just a 21st century version of the South Sea Bubble i.e. founded on nothing, worth nothing, and the cause of great damage to most of the population.

    Oh dear. This nonsense again.

    Last time there was a 600 page document, and it provided a rich array of targets for the establishment opposition.

    This time cards are being played very close to the chest. Tell them nothing, Nicola, until you can see the whites of their eyes.

    ~ would guaranteee the future of the NHS against privatisation

    Don’t confuse the sound principles of the EU with the utter incompetence and duplicity of the resident drunk Albion, which hasn’t been able to walk in a straight line through the open door. It’s easy to leave, if you actually know where you’re heading and are functionally capable of doing it.

    Easy to forget among all the irrelevant smokescreening and blame-mongering that this is the worst self-imposed UK policy mistake since that unfortunate disagreement with the American Colonies. (Which along with the rest of the old Empire just ain’t comin’ back, BTW.)

    Exactly. Those have been the two UK/Tory deficiencies – cluelessness and incompetence.

    Hard to say what the first big mistake was. A major failing was to ignore NI in the run up to EURef. Despite all the rhetoric then, it was understood that England couldn’t have the hard exit some dreamt of, and take NI with them. A special arrangement was going to be essential. Belatedly Boris seems to have accepted that.

    The problem of a special arrangement for NI is, it was going to make the union between Scotland and England even more strained.

    So for me, the first big mistake was to not make all this clear to the masses up front.

    Then May jumped before she knew where she was going to land with her premature Article 50.

    I posted a link above which covers Tory misrule rather well….

    I think you have got to the very heart of it there. Cameron jumped ship, but it was May who set it for the rocks. She was the one who turned an advisory referendum into a mandatory one, and before she had the least clue as to what she was getting into. It was her arrogant English absolutism and unwillingness to consult and listen that poisoned everything that was (all-too-inevitably) to follow.

    It’s been a rough ride since then till now, but who knows, one day we may even come to thank her for revealing so well the suffocating reality of London dominance and thereby convincing enough of us to take our own road again.

    Talk of revolution just reminded me of some interesting facts – besides the synchronicity of the better half watching Alice in Wonderland and I keep hearing “Off with their heads!” :
    The last public execution by guillotine was 1939 and there is grainy footage I won’t link to (Christopher Lee was apparently there)
    The last execution by guillotine was in 1977 and execution by guillotine was still a French statute until 1981.

    I’m not sure about the next revolution, but if there is any talk of setting up a “Committee of Public Safety” following Brexit, I’d be a tad concerned lol! They might adopt the French solution. Perhaps, following modern trends, there would be a new design, with 5 blades and a nice aloe vera lubricating strip.

    Who will be the first politician to stand up and decide the best way to quell civil unrest and revolution, is to instigate its own reign of terror? Oh wait, the Spanish are already off the blocks on that, ha!

    “Let’s make terror the order of the day”
    “If the basis of popular government in peacetime is virtue, the basis of popular government during a revolution is both virtue and terror…”

    While im here I just wanted to expand on a point I made a few articles back.

    There’s a lot of concentration on trying to convince ‘soft no’ voters of the arguments for Scotland being independent. It mostly revolves around Scotlands economic prospects (which I find even most proponents of independence underestimate), the standards of law/regulations, infrastructure etc.

    The elephant in the room isnt the prospects that Scotland has. Its that the Scottish nationalist vision is very largely left leaning, pro globalist, ‘progressive’. Its ‘open’ and ‘understanding’. Its diverse…unless you mean diverse in opinion. In which case not many are very tolerant at all.

    You simply will NOT win over many more people by promoting this type of thinking. However since the water around it is the last thing the fish will ever consider you are also mostly all missing this important point.

    Yep. I get it. You probably dont want to see it. But as a former Yes voter and sort-of activist I am very much torn between making do with Westminster and risking the kind of regressive, mindless liberal shithole Scotland could quickly become unless people smarten up.

    You know, the kind of place that champions womens rights by opening up every space they have to fkwit males in fishnets? Or the kind of place that doesnt see the contradiction of promoting 3rd world Islam AND championing gay and womens rights?

    If the SNP’s recent performances have come as a shock to you then you are behind the curve and need to get your finger out otherwise you will never win over the more alert members of our society. We see whats going on. We are not impressed.

    To finish with an example – WOS has spoken nothing but sense on the gender issue and on the SNP not living up to its potential (even if you might disagree) and seems to have been met with a wall of absolute fkng hysterics by the fanatics.

    Thats not the kind of independent Scotland many have in mind. But its the kind they fear they will get. Rightly so.

    Like it or not, for present purposes we are obliged to invest in the SNP as the only available way forward. “Eggs in one basket”, maybe, but with an election looming, there it is.

    In return, the SNP manifestly owes the people of Scotland a moderate political viewpoint consonant with public opinion, not the prospect of some radical do-goody nanny state that only a small extreme minority crave. That is the danger the party is getting into, to all our potential cost. In that sense we may possibly agree?

    The thing about constructive criticism Joe, is that the Zealots do not believe that any such animal exists, as no criticism of their world view can be in any way valid.

    When the SNP embarked on their “left of centre” pro EU journey. They were doing so from a relatively small voter base, going up against a seemingly omnipotent Labour Party who were yet to be exposed as having betrayed every principle that they ever allegedly held.

    There can be no disputing that it worked out well for them, but I fear that they may fall foul of the political priorities of the greasy-pole climbers that this shift and the subsequent electoral success that ensued attracted, as well as a short-sighted “if it ain’t broke – don’t fix it” syndrome.

    They will fail to recognise that the persuadable “still British” voter pool that continuing to hammer this tack to death may appeal to, is ever-shrinking.

    While it is becoming increasingly more wearisome to long-time actual Nationalists who bought into it as a tactic, without being particularly enthusiastic about it as a philosophy … and totally alienating a substantial proportion of the population who despite considering themselves to be Scottish, see little common ground between them and the now front and center policies of the electoral arm of the independence movement.

    An actual election needs to look at all the issues such as the Tory inclination to raise retirement age, the economy, the environment and the NHS. However, will Labour be adept enough to steer the discussion onto these matters? They seem incapable of forming a line on anything and the media are not friendly to Corbyn.

    I do wonder what sort of utter clusterfeck we will be in if England (and it will be England) gives Johnson a majority. The latest poll gives the Tories a 16% lead. It puts the SNP on 5% which I think will translate to a near wipe out of Tory and Labour seats in Scotland. We will go one way England another. Wales and NI possibly two other directions.

    For my money, the SNP is long overdue a “back to basics” review…

    To an extent I agree, but my main beef with the SNP is they are failing us over Brexit.

    Brexit split the Union democratically; Scotland wanted Indy, England wanted Brexit, but Westminster goofed up big time, because they inadvertently offered Scotland a chance to say no to Westminster’s great misadventure, and suddenly, the routine function of UK government had a massive obstacle to overcome, specifically how to get around the rejection of Brexit by a sovereign component of the Union. David Cameron had slid down the bannister without a care in the world, but this time, he got a massive splinter in his arse. Scotland said no.

    When we rejected Brexit emphatically, we gave our Nation the democratic mandate to stay in Europe which was not ‘just’ democratic, but further underpinned by Scotland’s Constitutional Sovereignty.

    We do not need a recount, second referendum, new election, or compromise. None of these will reconcile Brexit in our favour, but some of those options could undermine our ‘perfect’ mandate.

    The problem for Scotland is not a democratic deficit, but a Constitutional deficit, and the Constitutional anomaly of a Sovereign Nation being denied it’s sovereign recognition.

    A sovereign nation being denied sovereign recognition is blighting our democratic will over Brexit, and it will blight our democracy at the next referendum, the next General Election, and time and time again after that in perpetuity. Don’t you see? Without Sovereignty, you democracy is cut adrift.

    The SNP are proving themselves adept at the politics of devolved Government, but having all the faith in the cosmos to believe in democracy will simply not address the Constitutional deficit of a sovereign mandate which isn’t recognised as sovereign.

    Our way out of Brexit is 100% Constitutional. Any appeal to further democracy is forlorn because the roadblock isn’t democratic in its nature, it is constitutional, and needs determined in a law court, not a polling booth.

    The SNP is losing this Constitutional war because it’s only comfortable fighting a political war, and is both too stubborn and blind to appreciate we can win democratic victory after democratic victory, (which we already do incidentally), but it’s just a treadmill we are doomed to repeat. ONLY a change in the Constitutional status quo can break the cycle. Nothing will change for Scotland until our democracy is backed by lawful recognition of our sovereignty, and we cannot secure that just by voting for it.

    All the SNP offers is a new political campaign. Another GE, or another referendum, vote! Vote! Vote!. What we actually need, is our Constitution properly recognised in law, so that when we do vote, it actually counts.

    Until and unless we have our sovereignty recognised on international statute, then Westminster has a “UK Backstop” to prevent Scotland ever securing Independence.

    We can no longer afford to live in this comfy paradox of a Nation which believes itself sovereign on paper, but then allows itself to be dictated to and the Claim of Right undefended. WE MUST FIGHT AND WIN RECOGNITION OF OUR CONSTITUTIONAL LEGITIMACY. That is the real Plan A, and it’s the only way we can proceed towards Independence.

    Be in NO doubt, we ARE sovereign. The broken link in the chain lies in recognition. That’s where the fight is, but we’re nowhere to be seen.

    I think it was Wellington said on Napoleon, “they came on in the same old way, and we stopped them in the same old way”. Scottish Independence Strategy in a nutshell.

    Breeks at 0546am,

    Totally agree, especially your last three paras. Of course one step towards consitutional recognition is the First Minister referencing the fact in every interview, as it truly is already enshrined in consitutional law in Scotland and, via the treaty of union and claim of right, at Westminster. And, this is not the wishy washy, westminster-style ‘pretendy’ ‘unwritten’ constitution, it is written in black and white, via the Westminster-recognised and Hansard-documented Scottish claim of right and in Scots law.

    I’m of the opinion, that it needs stated at all times by the SNP, to the extent it becomes like a broken record. Interviewers need to be so fed up hearing it, that it starts to annoy them. Only then, will the likes of Kay Burley, even begin to understand what is being done to Scotland via this brexit calamity, is wholly wrong and forcing a sovereign people out of the EU against their clear wishes.

    Scotland has an absolute democratic mandate to remain within the EU, and the consitutional right to enact that. You don’t need another vote or referendum.

    Looking forward to Saturday, in George Square Glasgowe, for the indy rally. Trying to look at it positively, as a step forward by the SNP and, especially its leadership. Keen to hear what the FM says in her speech.

    The SNP only win the right to administer British devolution.

    The UK-wide elections aren’t won by the SNP:

    35/650 MPs isn’t a win.
    3/73 Euro MEPs isn’t a win.

    The point being: SCOTLAND CANNOT WIN FREEDOM DEMOCRATICALLY.

    British democracy / Scottish devolution means playing by the British law book that has only one two real laws:

    1. UK Parliament is sovereign ( from UK Crown in UK Parliament).

    2. Scotland Act 1998: Section 28(7) states: that the establishment of the Scottish Parliament “does not affect the power of the Parliament of the United Kingdom to make laws for Scotland”.

    Meaning: Scottish Parliament = rule by UK Parliament.

    For example: Continuity Bill: passed by the Scottish Parliament, almost all legally competent. Except it tried to uphold Scottish Parliamentary democracy. That was ruled out by the Supreme Court.

    In my assessment, the Supreme Court and House of Lords confirmed:

    Devolution is administration of British Empire power OVER Scotland.

    The SNP have become administrators of the British Empire. To do so,requires acceptance the UK Crown is sovereign.

    So, if you are looking to the SNP to uphold and defend Scottish sovereignty, you are wasting your time.
