The idea of Westminster sovereignty is an english construct that is and has been pushed for centuries in order to have it fixed in Scottish minds that we are inferior to them and must be obeyed.

It is however (surprise surprise)it is far from the actual truth.
This issue does need cleared up, we are not inferior to them in any way. However they duck and dive, and outright lie.

This needs to be sorted and the Scottish people’s sovereignty needs to be brought to the fore. It is there in the Act of Union, and now needs to be asserted. Once that is cleared up, the game changes dramatically, the SG need to get it sorted.

When done it will show we have the power to change our lives however we want to, without Westminster’s cretinous agendas.

Thanks – useful to know. (You’ll gather I don’t frequent the DM site!)

Though what he said up there about not reporting corruption in a “balanced” way made no sense to me.

1. You managed to point out how popular and necessary Wings is in the current Scottish media context.

2. The BBC didn’t cut any of that out.

I’m not sure what Greg Philo’s contribution was supposed to have added to the mix? Maybe he was the one that got his contribution misused and abused. We won’t know without access to the uneditied version.

I agree that the Union is the “suits” top priority,has to be,they know our true value!
The SNP, as I see it,has two choices.

Turn any UK election into a manifesto commitment to end the Union.

Or a manifesto commitment of some kind over Europe ie… take their General Election and turn it into the second EU referendum for Scotland that England are being denied.

Either way they should turn any snap election around to being about Scotland only.
A sort of…. voting for the SNP manifesto is not a vote for no change, but faster better, safer change than the other parties offer!

Furthermore, learning from our 2014 NO result, where would we stand Constitutionally in the tragic event of another defeat or ambiguous victory? The issue of Sovereignty would still remain a matter of ambiguous conjecture, with Westminster Sovereignty still being recognised internationally, and probably not even recognised as even disputed.

I wish more people grasped the massive significance of Sovereignty over any and all democratic process, mandate and result. Sovereignty does not essentially require any democratic mandate, but a democratic mandate without Sovereignty to underpin it amounts to absolutely nothing. If you cannot be sure of securing both, then for the love of God make sure its Sovereignty you make safe, because whatever else happens, everything else will work out fine in the long run.

If however you make Sovereignty conditional upon having a democratic mandate backing it, you have taken the absolute condition of Nationhood which nobody can formally dispute, and downgraded to an ephemeral whim of choice, which in Scotland’s case, is a choice that is skewed and distorted by UK propaganda and infiltration.

By all means, yes of course canvass and gather support for a majority backing Independence, but just understand the meat and drink of our Constitutional emancipation from the Union lies with the realisation of our Sovereignty and establishing the legitimacy and ascendency of our Sovereignty over theirs… That’s the tipping point for change. Democratic ratification is just the gravy.

If we leave them opportunity to promise the Earth, they will, and those of a certain demographic will believe them.

They are about to paint themselves into a corner..let them.
