Alex Salmond launches new Scottish independence plan

UDI isn't a good plan for Scotland given that Rhodesia's UDI resulted in widespread international isolation after the UK, the Commonwealth and the United Nations all deemed Rhodesia's UDI illegal and imposed economic sanctions for a decade.

you say that as if Ireland and Rhodesia were anomalies. Lets put fact in front of you Pacifico. 65 countries left the British empire and London control. The vast majority were told they couldn't leave , the English monarch , courts and parliament were sovereign and said no , and it still happened.

There is the fantasy tory universe of return of empire , world power , pure blood anglo saxons , and then there is reality and real politik . If Scotland and the majority o our people vote in a majority of independence supporting politicians , and we declare the nation has spoken and we are leaving , no one cares what some English tory says about how his parliament Is sovereign . Scotland will end the uk , and the international community will get behind democracy while you are sitting sulking over your warm beer and pimms.

Your countries vast amount of enemies will be lining up to congratulate Scotland , Europe will roll out the red carpet , and even your best best buddies in Washington will accept reality and rush in to befriend Scotland . While you dream of sending gun boats up the Clyde  , in reality it will be five seconds of sulking before little England comes to terms with reality.

Irelands situation is and remains vastly different though from Scotland . They had no choice but to declare UDI , as legally they were part of the English kingdom , English law applied , and essentially were controlled by englandshire through right of conquest of the tudors.

Scotland is by international treaty a partner in this so called disunited kingdom. We are the only Celtic nation England didn't conquer and maintain though right of conquest , we keep our own law and legal system , as I keep telling our tory friends , English law doesn't apply in Scotland .

English politicians repeatedly have said to us there is no treaty in the world were a partnership has been drawn up and one of the partners doesn't have the right to withdraw . They recognise scotlands claim of right , indeed their House of Commons has repeatedly endorsed it.

The uk is a mess. English nationalism on the rise , the blue rinse determined to maintain Brexit , cost of living biting , report after report on a daily basis on how poor the uk is becoming compared to our near neighbours , where the latest report tells us workers are now nearly £11 k worse off under this mob that is currently in power in the anglo parliament . 

 you are watching the end days of an almost dead empire finishing where it began all those years ago . We have prominent tories about to jump ship back onto the remain bandwagon , the current tory chancellor has made plain his disgust at Brexit , and so on and so forth.

 the world is looking on watching in sympathy at Scotland being currently shackeled to some of the heidcases you see post on these forums and their alternate reality.

 biden and Brussels took Northern Ireland tacitly off Westminster , and you didnt hear so much as a peep from the armchair redcoats. 

LOL - tommo still flapping his gums rather than actually doing something.

There is no point telling us what you are going to do - you dont need our permission to declare UDI - you just grow a pair and do it..

All you seem to do is sit on your backside trolling forums.

the mighty yookay.......


Average UK households are £8,300 poorer than their counterparts in countries like France, Germany and the Netherlands, according to a new report by the Resolution Foundation and LSE.

The UK’s productivity rate is half of that seen in other advanced economies and wages have subsequently flatlined, meaning that workers are losing an average of £10,700 a year.

The report, published on Monday, also estimates that nine million younger employees have never worked in an economy with sustained average wage rises.

“Brexit, Covid-19 and the cost-of-living crisis have tested an economy already under strain,” said Alex Beer, head of portfolio development at the Nuffield Foundation.
