It can be difficult for many in Scotland to accept that the actions of the Anglo-Britsh state have deprived us of our rights to self-determination, & undermined, opposed & blocked our political rights & economic, social & cultural development. The truth may hurt but in the end lead to Liberation.

The Liberation Scotland movement has 18,000+ members, larger than any of the Scottish political parties, apart from the SNP

However the SNP, as revealed recently by one of their former MPs, has less than 3,000 activists, whilst Salvo, the campaign arm of Liberation Scotland has 8,000 active members

The SNP is now a devolutionist party, not a party of independence. The SNP Scotgov is now operating as an elite & adminstrative arm of the the Anglo-British state, actively collaborating with and seeking the approval of Westiminster its controlling power.

The Liberation Scotland international initiative will provide fresh impetus, & hopefully motivate & inspire Scots, and the indy movement, particularly our politicians, to take bold action in the knowledge Scotland's true status is recognised by the UN & supported by other nations.

"What #Liberation #Scotland seeks is both internationally lawful & a fundamental, human right. It's simple justice for our nation and long overdue”

We seek formal recognition of Scotland as a Non-Self-Governing Territory under the UN #decolonization framework

What Route to Self-determination for #Scotland when our struggles for our political rights & economic, social & cultural development have been undermined, opposed & blocked by the UK.

'If politicians can't - can we?': Inside the convention on Scotland's future PRIOR to independence-focused days of discussion, there is always a palpable hope something can be done, an answer can be found, a step can be taken…

Taking it into our own hands. Get involved, there is so much to play for. Lobby our law makers at every level of Gov to push for significant land reform, assist community energy production, own district heating systems. How a Scottish constitution would look?

Inside the convention on Scotland's future.

Activists from across the movement, parties and sectors were in the room with several issues to tackle, all driven by the same question: β€œIf the politicians can’t do it – can we?"

Handfasting is a form of marriage, a union.
#Scotland has had enough of so-called unions. When #ScottishIndependence & the reduction of the Anglo-British state to simply England comes about the anachronism that is the 'Commonweath' currently presided over by a King will become uselss & irrelevant.

and Salvo.Scot about the clear features of Scotland's colonial oppression, cruelty & injustice, both historic & continuing today, at the hand of the Westminster administrating power more people will understand our true status & seek #Liberation
