Scottish Independence – An Impossible Dream – But There is a Way

Military conquest and enforced colonisation of Scotland by England

English colonial rule was imposed on Scotland over 300 years ago achieved through military occupation and an embargo on Scottish trade with any other nation. The bastards starved our country into submission.

Support of many campaigns for Scotland’s relief from colonisation has never been supported by Nations whose economies are tied to the American dollar and any Scot harbouring thoughts of freedom from the corrupt Westminster system of government (which is) is destined to spend a lifetime living with hopes forlorn.

Scottish independence will never be gained through support of any political party purporting to be campaigning for it since their control systems, aims and ambitions are financed and controlled through rules imposed by Westminster.

Liberation Scotland is a notable exception since it entirely independent of any external political interference but it falls short in its ambitions because it includes an approach at some future date to the UN seeking Scotland’s recognition as an independent country. Something that may out with the control of that body.

But there is a way forward out of the colonisation which is strangling the life out of our population. Our time has come and no power in the world can stop Scots from regaining their freedom.

The Global market – North and South

The UK and Northern Ireland is a leading country functioning within the Global North but only virtue of its combination of the economies of England, Wales Scotland and Northern Ireland.

Any diminution of Westminster control would lead to the transfer of constituent countries, (except England) to the Global South, comprising around 200 nations, many ex colonies of England).

Liberation Scotland should submit its application for membership of the Global South and Non-aligned Movement. Now!

Supporting the Policy change

Quote: It is notable that other forums and institutions of the Global South are gaining weight. The BRICS forum – comprising Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa – was set up in 2009 as a counterpoint to the G7 club of nations, to criticism from some quarters that it was little more than ‘marketing’.

Yet, it is now clear that the BRICS is growing in clout. In 1980, the G7 accounted for about 50 per cent of the world’s GDP in purchasing power parity terms, while the BRICS countries – excluding Russia, then part of the Soviet Union – accounted for about 11 per cent.

Today, the G7 accounts for 30 per cent of the world’s GDP, while the BRICS countries account match it at around 30 per cent. Equally importantly, the membership of BRICS is growing dramatically, while the G7’s is stagnant.

Why is the Global South optimistic? Take the 3.5 billion population of China, India, and the Asean countries, for example. In 2000, only 150 million of these people enjoyed middle-class living standards. Today, the number has exploded to around 1.5 billion, double the total population of western countries. And it is predicted to grow to 3 billion by 2030. At this rate, the coming decades may belong to the Global South.

The Andrew Marr Show 23 March 2014

Andrew Marr interviewed Danny Alexander who offered the under noted comments on the make up of a UK government, (2015-2020).

I think that a Conservative Government on its own would be bad for the economy because it would try and take Britain out of the European Union. A Labour Government by itself would be very bad for the economy because it would wreck the strategy that has got the British economy this far. I think you need the Liberal Democrats in the centre ground of government, the centre ground of politics, to keep the recovery on the right track for the next Parliament.

These three parties, (poles apart in terms of political direction) are combined at present seeking to persuade the Scottish public to vote, “no” in the September referendum. What a nonsense! Mr Alexander views the Conservatives as a bunch of wreckers and Labour as political incompetents. But offers the Lib/Dems as the party with a vision. I oft wonder the purpose of, “Planet Alexander”. Vote, “Yes” to Independence in September so that we can be sure of electing a Scottish Government blessed with political competence, free from the old disastrous ways of the past. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKI5-lCqdaU
