You can own some of the asset though, and see a 10% ROI. That's probably why France, Norway, Spain, Qatar, China, and Ireland all have a stake. Does the uk government have a stake?

🧵I've been The National's Westminster correspondent for almost four years now - this is what I've learnt about what Westminster thinks about Scotland

😂Exactly Kevin! Well done. Now, see that ‘one kingdom’ ? Right. Let’s try this again. A kingdom is the territorial jurisdiction of a crown. With me so far? In 1707 there were two kingdoms & two crowns of Scotland & England. The Treaty and Acts of Union authorised the creation of a single kingdom of Great Britain - exactly as it says. But this did not happen. Instead, the English coronation oath was ‘extended to Scotland’, i.e. Scotland was added to the English Crown. its own crown remains as a constitutional institution, a fact in law while Scotland is ‘administered’ under that crown. That gives not one kingdom but two no matter how you spin it. Thats why Scotland retains its territorial boundaries and is known as a ‘sovereign territorial nation’. No ‘one kingdom’ to bee seen. So, oh dear, what the treaty said was to happen and what actually happened are two very different things. And the key is right there in the passage you cite. Careful of those dismissive emojis; you may not have as much knowledge or insight as you think!

It was a fully English empire and the slavery was fully organised by the English colonial state. English law applied in the English empire. Jamaica was conquered in 1655 while Scots were under English colonisation by Cromwell. Scots were brought in as servants like other colonised people. That's valid for all English Carribbean colonies. So no Scotland before 1707 (Scots were forbidden by law to participate in the English empire) and of course after 1707 Scotland was fully annexed by the English colonial state...So Scots were a fully colonised people. Like all colonised people, a small minority of Scots were used or participated in the English empire but Scotland as a nation could not. Its sovereignty had been suppressed and remains suppressed by the English colonial state. Scotland did not participate in any English empire or in any English slavery. That's a lie of the English colonial state.

Things you won't see reported on BBC Scotland news.

When Scotland decided to roll out free care services, it did so from Scotland's fixed, devolved budget. When England decides to roll out free care services, in England only, it does so by reducing the future pensions of all nations. Pooling and sharing only ever goes one way...

Until recently, I'd never given a second thought to the origins of the name Bath Street in central Glasgow. I think I'd always assumed it was named after the city in England, but this plaque on its corner with Renfield Street reveals its true origins. Cont./ #glasgow

Remind you of anything Scotland? Let’s have a ‘Fuck the Scam Union Friday Night.’ There isn’t enough free space on X to list the Westminster thieving bastard’s scams, but I would put ‘GB Energy’ up there. Feel free to add to their thieving crimes. Our country is being robbed.

Absolutely. But it's not just the gormless. Only today I heard a lifelong nationalist say, 'but Scotland was bankrupt at the Union – the Darien Scheme'. It's a major lie to portray an annexation as a benevolent rescue. Never mind the curtailment of European Trade and the Alien Act 1705 that was so coercive on the Scottish nobility, threatening to deprive them of English residence and tenure of English estates widely acquired since James VI took in 1603 the English throne. That lie has been extended to every aspect of our pre- and post-Union character. You demean and diminish your victim; rule of colonisation.

I’m with Suz. Repost if you agree.

What a star, standing up for herself against the racist scumbag.

Watch how a young Scottish woman named Courtney handles an older passenger going from saying “go back to your own country,” to claiming she's proud to be racist, to completely backtracking with compliments once she realises she has no audience left. A masterclass in holding people accountable for their behavior.
