First – stop wishing for another independence referendum
Because we’ll never get another one
But mainly because we really, really, don’t need one
Scotland’s people are sovereign.
That means that we’re in charge – there is no higher authority, and that includes the British parliament
So if we’re in charge, think about it – why would we need to ask anybody?

We were an independent nation, one of the oldest in Europe. Older than England, to be sure. But we’re not independent anymore. Why?
Here’s the lead up to the theft of our independence.
The union of Scotland and England in 1707 was no joyous, glorious merger of two countries. It was an English takeover designed to shackle then plunder Scotland
After the passing of the Acts of Union, England was very pleased with itself, as well it might. At a stroke, Scotland had gone from international competitor to a rich new resource, ripe for exploitation.
Scotland’s attempt to form a colony in Panama could not be allowed to succeed. Whether they shared a king or not, Scotland would not be allowed to get in the way of England’s empire and Darien was deliberately sabotaged by the East India Company and the Royal Navy.
