Love this image of a Scottish ship flying the saltire ensign in Veere - the Scottish Staple port in the Netherlands. We were present there for almost 400 years. The painting is in the town hall. Great to see the Dutch and Scots flags together in this 17th century painting.

We used to holiday in the US from Scotland most years.
Last time was during the 2015 Presidential Campaign..
Unfortunately we won't be back.

How the Scottish Secretary betrayed Scotland bu aiding Westminster stripping devolved powers from Holyrood.

How the Scottish Secretary betrayed Scotland bu aiding Westminster stripping devolved powers from Holyrood.

How did Westminster strip powers from Scotland? By retrospectively overruling Holyrood in 2018. This is how they did it . .

I didn't say he was in favour of Scottish indy. He has said clearly that it's a decision for us to make & that we are entitled to a referendum if we want it.
That's fine with me.

He has clearly stated on a number of occasions that Scotland has the right to determine its own future & hold an indy ref if that's what it wants.i.e. if the Scottish Parliament votes to have one.

Recent Westminster politicians have referred to a "voluntary union" not through any commitment to the concept but because it was politically expedient to do so.

28.11.2025 18:19 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

It was never meant to be a voluntary union of course. The Speaker of the English Parliament at the time of the Union specifically said that the Scots had been caught in a web, where they would "dangle for all eternity". They also highlighted that the Scots members in Westminster would be ridiculed.

APPARENTLY it costs the NHS over Β£300,000 a year to remove foreign objects from people's rectums. Why aren't we removing British objects instead?
Was Brexit all for nothing?

Ah, but the whole point of Brexit was removing foreign objects.
