  1. The #BBC #RadioScotland News keeps referring to the Crown Office not the #ProcuratorFiscal when reporting on matters of #ScotsLaw. Latest eg, tonight re #Lockerbie bomb #PanAm103

    #Scotland has a separate legal system. This is the subtle, wilful erosion of Scottish identity, a deliberate redefining of the basis on which the Union was formed; rewriting history to suit a political agenda #YouYesYet? #ScottishIndependence #DissolveTheUnion #NotMyKing

  6. After the last decade of dependence, missed opportunities and betrayal, here's a short extract from Lockhart of Carnwath's memoirs of the Union. It was Lockhart who named and shamed Burns' Parcel of Rogues, and uncovered the mostly quite paltry amounts they received for selling out Scotland.

    Here he speaks of one of the principal villains, the Earl of Stair.

    Very little has changed in the last 300+ years.

  7. That poem Robert Burns scratched on a window is such a good summary of my upcoming collage exhibition, I have decided to perform a reading of it:

  8. ‘To See Ourselves’ is showing this weekend in Orkney. I'll be going (if I'm well enough) but something tells me that the people that should really be watching it won't be in attendance.

  9. I refuse to apologise – in advance, in arrears or at any other time – for posting calls for the independence of my own nation, Scotland.

    We can, indeed, do better.

  10. I apologise in advance of posting unrelenting calls for Scottish Independence in the coming days, weeks and months. The prospect of an unending list of cretins at the helm of HMS Westminster truly fills me with dread. Out of touch, corrupt, entitled and sometimes 'not of this planet' politicians have no place in Scotland's future.

    WE CAN DO BETTER!

  11. Sausage Fingers is currently being held hostage at the Pier Arts Centre in #Orkney. He'll be released upon payment of the King's Ransom, which is currently set at £399,000. This is a bargain given all the value he provides to the country.

  12. It's the 18th of September. 9 years since the people of #Scotland opted for dependence on the criminally corrupt, backward-looking, authoritarian regime in the neighbouring country.

    Democracy is being denied to us and the party political route is going nowhere, so why not sign the Edinburgh Proclamation?

  13. @eff The UK has always been a sham of a democracy but the curtain is well and truly lifting now. It's a rogue state run by criminals. #DissolveTheUnion #EndLondonRule

  14. @NationCymru Mark Drakeford needs to wake up.

    The #UK doesn't work for anyone but #England because that's that way it was designed. It works great for them, so why should they change it?

  19. 'The meeting of Commissioners' - a #collage inspired by betrayal and my reading about the #ParcelOfRogues who sold out the sovereignty of the people of #Scotland in 1707.

    It strikes me that the political shenanigans going on now are not much different to the sort of thing that went on was back then. Everyone has agendas and most are self-serving. Very few people involved in politics actually have any real guts or integrity.

  20. This book I found in a charity shop provides great context to #Lockhart's memoirs of the #Union and the people involved.

    The 4th Duke of Hamilton was a right two-faced slimeball. He had a legitimate claim to the throne of #Scotland, but when he realised no-one would support it he decided the Union was his next best option (lots of land in England). He betrayed his Jacobite friends many times over but managed to keep stringing them along.

  22. "Did not the Earl of Ilay in all companies make it his publick and constant toast, and write inscriptions on the glasses in the taverns of Edinburgh, 'To the dissolving of the Union'?

    Did not all the Scots members, Whigs as well as Tories, agree unanimously to the motion which was made in the House of Lords for dissolving it?"

    Our Precious Union has always been a political prison.

  25. My expectation of improvement of anything in the "U"K🇬🇧 before a #GE is: Zero; after a #GE: microscopically above Zero (assuming it's not another #ERGTory majority.)

    Only a reboot of dissolution-sized proportions will truly fix anything, long term, IMO.

    (Or 100+ years of #PR, but we can't wait for that.)

  26. The Scottish Commissioners who negotiated the Treaty of Union were all appointed by London. #Lockhart of #Carnwath was the only one opposed to it. When he got into Westminster he uncovered the intimidation and bribery that had gone on, and tried to get the Act of Union repealed.

    His memoirs could have got him killed when they leaked. He did time in jail for fomenting violence and died from injuries sustained in a duel.
