THE outrageous behaviour and hostile attitude of the English overlord in the mis-titled “Mother of Parliaments” at Westminster now leaves one, and only one, course of action for Scotland.
A bill for Scotland to resile from the international treaty of 1707 (between the nations of Scotland and England) must now be introduced into the Scottish Parliament as a matter of urgency. Time to play serious hardball!
Publicise this action extensively worldwide (including through the UN and the EU) and let the embarrassed UK cabal try to deal with the aftermath. Would they dare thereafter to invoke another Section 35?
Current pusillanimous tactics by the Scottish Government will be most unlikely to achieve any effective results for independence indefinitely.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
