Thank you!

Great video,
An English court makes a judgement of a Westminster law voted through by Westminster which has 533 English MPs that the Scottish people from the Country of Scotland cannot hold a democratic vote to decide their future.
If the 533 English Westminster MPs continue to block the Indyref2 vote then it's a forced union.
Westminster tried that in Ireland and look how that turned out.
It was the Britnat Labour party under the leadership of Tony Blair that put that law in the 1998 Scotland Act which the Britnat Tories used to block the Scottish people's rights of Self-determination and a democratic vote to decide their future.
With 72 MSPs a majority the Scottish parliament who had Indyref2 in their election manifestos and 48 Scottish Westminster MPs out of 59 Scottish MPs also voted into office with Indyref2 in their election manifestos
The Scottish government has a democratic mandate from the Scottish people to hold the Indyref2 vote.

Well said!

Anyone reading the Declaration might wonder what the captor of William Wallace - John De Menteith - was doing being included in the list of named nobles. Further research would reveal Menteith was not only given lands for his support of Robert the Bruce but also numerous important diplomatic tasks as well. It might, therefore, not be too far a stretch to think that Bruce wasn't really terribly upset about Wallace being removed from the Scottish political scene?

The 2024 Election has not changed the desire for Scottish Indpendence and a return of our Scottish Soverignty so cruelly taken away without a people's vote in 1707 with the English annexation and armed occupation of Scotland by the Red Coats. Give us our Indpendence Referendum, please, England!
