Letter from Denmark: A Tale of Two Speeches
In the week before Christmas a relative of mine had a health scare. This meant several hospital visits, MRI scans, x-rays, blood tests, the list goes on. Prompt action by a competent medical staff at two hospitals saved the day. Observing the doctors and nurses, the ambulances, the technical equipment, I realised how vulnerable these facilities are.Continue reading “Letter from Denmark: A Tale of Two Speeches”
Letter from Denmark: Time to Heal
How long does it take to decolonise your mind? I’m not entirely sure if it takes years, decades or a lifetime. That said, the experience of moving from Scotland to live in a small independent nation, is perhaps an indicator? Some of us now realise that Scotland was not only annexed and occupied, but colonised.Continue reading “Letter from Denmark: Time to Heal”
Letter from Exile: Paddy, Jock and Taffy
Paddy, Jock, and Taffy pictured in late 19th century English propaganda as friends in union with John Bull. “Unionists used variations of these figures to project an idealised image of the harmony and unity that they saw existing inside the Union. The cartoon, entitled, “No Home Rule”…is a classic example of this approach, showing theContinue reading “Letter from Exile: Paddy, Jock and Taffy”
Letter from Denmark: Viking Link
A post from Cameron McNeish caught my eye this week. He wrote, “Scotland’s wild landscapes are being torn up by wind farms and miles upon miles of goose-stepping lines of pylons.” I never really noticed pylons in my 1960s childhood. On bus trips to Troon or the Heads of Ayr the landscape looked pretty much rural and natural. I drank it inContinue reading “Letter from Denmark: Viking Link”
Among the Nations of the World
You’re probably familiar with the story. A young man is forced into exile and slavery by his own siblings. Many years later, those same siblings turn up looking for supplies of food due to famine back home. They no longer recognise the brother they sold into slavery, he is in every aspect a citizen ofContinue reading “Among the Nations of the World”
The Grossest Bribery and Corruption
“English bribes outweighed the mistaken zeal of Scottish patriotism and Jacobitism, united against the measure. “On the 25th of March, 1707, the treaty or union was ratified by the Estates, and on the 22nd of April the ancient Parliament of Scotland adjourned, to assemble no more. On that occasion the Chancellor Scofield made use ofContinue reading “The Grossest Bribery and Corruption”
The 1918 Election: Ireland’s Rejection of its Failed Nationalist Party
Cathal Brennan and John Dorney of the Irish History Show Podcast have a remarkable knowledge of the events that led to the momentous election in December 1918. That election was a referendum on the achievements of the nationalist Irish Parliamentary Party, who, eight years on from their huge majority in the 1910 election, hadn’t achieved evenContinue reading “The 1918 Election: Ireland’s Rejection of its Failed Nationalist Party”
Liberation Scotland Announcement
“True Scottish self determination, and it is the soul and purpose of Liberation Scotland. “Impossible? “Other nations have trodden the path to decolonization. Not one has bowed to the kidnapper and asked for permission. We know how hard this road will be, but we also know what’s possible. “We know now that we can gainContinue reading “Liberation Scotland Announcement”
There is a fundamental incompatibility, between Scotland’s Constitutional Sovereignty, and London rule
Comment by Breeks on Wings Over Scotland I agree, that it was wrong to give Westminster the chance to rule on anything to do with Scotland, BUT it has been done now, and it has highlighted that there NEVER was any equal union. HOWEVER, the bigger question now for Mr Neale Hanvey is, WHAT NEXT? IfContinue reading “There is a fundamental incompatibility, between Scotland’s Constitutional Sovereignty, and London rule”
