Shield Of The Phantom

Posted on January 26, 2026 by

Well, we gave it a go.

It seems that it’s fine to farm important judgments out to mysterious shadowy figures who just make important chunks of them up out of thin air, and then issue them in your own name. Back in your boxes, plebs.

    FOI for the correspondence between the judge and t shadow? Possibly protected as legal advice. At least you gave it a go whilst our supposed journalistic hero’s drank the koolaid.

    Down graded to (mild concerns) rather than about following the law of human judgement and intellect.

    No wonder they were livid!

    Welcome to “The Colony”.

    What we see in this trite, arrogant, up-its-ain-erse, dismissive, and pompous wee fart of a response to a perfectly reasonable and civil query is the colonial brush-off.

    The Glasgow President of Employment Tribunals’ response also has that passive aggressive “How dare you challenge your imperial master” flavour about it.

    Yet more proof that we Scots are irrelevant in our own country and are at best a cheap and barely tolerated colonial workforce… at worst imperial property, chattel, to be used, abused and discarded in whatever way our coloniZer sees fit.

    How many illegal “Scotland Acts” have led up to this sad point of the deterioration of law in Scotland.
    When the Great Britain parliament or the United kingdom parliament are not in a 1707 treaty of union with Scotland to pass legislation of the English crown courts and tribunals on to Scotland?

    Get your head wrapped around that piece of propaganda illegal jargon from Westminster and law in Scotland ( Scots law) re- asserts its self.
    These parties of injustices for Scotland would be dismissed and recognised as faux judgements and trials.

    My goodness, what an appallingly dismissive response. “No we won’t look again nor think again nor do anything whatsoever to uphold the standards of the law.”

    The Kemp judgment was based on information from “an other” who apparently made a right mess, deliberately or otherwise, in selecting material for the guidance of Kemp.

    Is there really no way to bring the judiciary to book?

    North Code,

    But that imperialsm and Scotland may be a Colony can be challenged on a legal bases because non of the judical system including tribunals systems under “Scotland Acts ” are legal even if Westminster was acting as the parliament of England, and not the parliament of Great Britain or the parliament of United kingdom.
    Because Scotland only holds a treaty with the parliament of England ,
    For that to stand or hold any legal bases then the original parliament of Scotland also has to exist just like Englands,
    Not the Scotland Acts parliament set up by the parliament of Great Britain which Scotland holds no treaty with at date in time.

    All the political down south and up here in Scotland have shied away from the truth over law and the fact that Scotland never made a treaty with the parliament of Great Britain or the UK parliament in 1707,
    They, I am sure of it Know of this lie,
    But persist in hoping Scotland does not,

    The English Westminster parliament does not gain the kingdom territory of Scotland in the 1707 Treaty of union.
    That claim was concluded and presumed by the parliament of Great Britain that holds no such treaty with Scotland.

    Sarah.

    Other sources,

    As is the 1707 Treaty of Union between Scotland and…the Great Britain parliament
    They think up any law or supposed imaginary law even if it is incorrect or illegal. As long as they can sell the lie and someone buys into it.

    Not surprised or disappointed! Professional people never turn on each other, the get the less fortunate to do it for them.

    I ask the question, is holyrood a benefit for the Scots? To be honest I’m more concerned about the SNP getting another 5 years in power than I am about Trump’s remaining three.

    When we talk about Independence in 2013 it was something nice it was building on something that wasn’t little England I’m sorry to say this but I’m really glad we never got Independence in 2014 and as long as the SNP is alive I hope we never do.

    The law in and of Scotland goes much deeper than what Stu is contending with,
    As we have to ascertain where that laws in Scotland derive from.

    The parliament of England.
    The parliament of Great Britain.
    The parliament of UK
    the original parliament of Scotland.
    Or the “Scotland Acts ” parliament by legislation of Westminster parliament of Englands Great Britain parliament,

    For the original Scottish parliament only made a 1707 treaty recognised internationally with the original Parliament of England,
    No other.

    Aw well it’s nae big deal there’s nothing happening with Scottish politics just now anyway

    I wish there was some way we could maybe elect some people who might fight against this corrupt pish

    Or maybe we could just keep voting for the SCUM who organise these corrupt organisations and ignore any challenges to their authority

    Or better still let’s just stay in the vile union and elect wee nige and let him destroy HR and give our SNHS to his american millionaire pals

    “6b: it is about a judicial decision, or judicial case management.”

    So, making up stories to support a ‘judicial decision’ can never be misconduct.

    Good to know.

    Would it be OK to give evidence in the same way?
