I Support Salvo and Liberation Scotland. Open to chatting to like minded people. Scottish Borders (Coldstream). Relaxed with who I am. No hang ups. Sometime Blogger Independence not Bust. lesrobertsblog.wordpress.com

100% Manucobra. Which is why LS dialogue at UN is focussed on the C-24 Special Committee on Decolonisation (mainly comprising representatives of the increasingly powerful BRICs & Non-Aligned Movement states). No UK, US or EU states on this influencial committee.

Roy - LS work at UN is to clear the internationally recognised (& Westminster-free) legal path for Scots to use to exert their sovereign right to self-determination (if they choose to). Once this is done, all Scots will be asked for their democratic view on Scotland's future.

Roy - ScotGov only needs support of Green MSPs to use its pro-indy majority at Holyrood to implement measures to prepare the path to indy. Given that future Scottish statehood needs international recognition, opening a dialogue at the UN should be near top of their 'to do' list

Intrinsic within their immature & counterproductive Bain Principle is the convention that they will never admit to its continued existence, nor application on policy & its detremental affects relative to the economic & societal prosperity of Scotland. So expect a speedy refusal from Burnham!....

Andy Burnham has been invited to the Highlands to explain to locals why Labour blocked a Chinese firm's £1.5bn wind turbine factory, but allow Chinese investment in English nuclear power and electricity networks 👇 www.thenational.scot/news/2...

BBC news has totally lost the plot. It no longer reports actual news it simply prints certain opinions which in turn provoke reactions which create more bullshit. Terrible editorial direction. It's like a huge ugly social media site.

THE ENGLISH EMPIRE - portrayed by Joseph Keppler cartoon in US satirical journal Puck 1885 (after military defeat in Sudan) - clearly showing Scotland & Ireland as its first acquisitions. And just like Ireland, Scotland was an early victim of London's East India Company colonial empire (est. 1600)

The yes movement has to get together and force John Swinney to resign. Our marches have to have this theme. Imagine AUOB march terminating at Holyrood in September with everyone shouting for him to go. He wont be able to ignore that. WE WANT INDEPENDENCE , WHEN DO WE WANT IT , NOW. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I’ve argued with Sheppard & Cherry on branch meetings & online with Nicholson & Wishart who collectively vigorously defend England against any suggestion Scotland is a colony. We need the ones who believe it is a fact Scotland is a colony to step forward and raise their voices. They must exist!

"It’s clear our democracy is engineered by what can only be described as colonial masters. "If serious SNP must recognise & support Salvo’s UN live case" 🎯 I can't for the life of me understand why the SNP leadership aren't showing any support for, or even recognition of, SALVO at the UN.

I cancelled my SNP membership after 2024 election result as the campaign was a disgrace! It’s clear our democracy is engineered by what can only be described as colonial masters. If serious SNP must recognise & support Salvo’s UN live case, call out bias & harms of uk media & pull our MPs from WM.

Really important to clarify that Liberation Scotland and our sister organisation Salvo have NOTHING TO DO with either Liberate or the Alliance to Liberate Scotland - these latter being a political organisation who stood candidates in the recent Scottish election. Salvo / LS is non-party political.

Scotland stands at exactly this point in the sequence. Its first foreign policy in three centuries is being actively conducted now; from Geneva, from Vienna, from New York; and elsewhere; by its liberation movement, Liberation Scotland, through the UN record documented in our work in in these pages.

This SYFS post does 4 things: #1 It demonstrates that J.Sillars' discussion paper on “independent” Scotland's “foreign policy” is not the foreign policy of a sovereign nation but that of a subjugated one; written by someone who has not yet understood what sovereignty means for a colonised people.

Jim Sillars calls his draft foreign policy a 'negotiating brief' for Scotland's post-independence transition. This 2 word phrase perfectly encapsulated in two words the colonial mindset of so many indy-supporting Scots. A colonised people does not prepare a 'negotiating brief' for its liberation !

COLONISED SCOTLAND IN FULL VIEW Our 'Nationalist' First Minister singing “Send him victorious, happy & glorious, long to reign over us’ last night in Glasgow while seated to one side - an irrelevance / minion shown his place in his own country while England’s king & Prime Minister sit centre stage.
