The Narcissistic Neighbour

Everything about British Unionism is a lie. The entire concept was born in deceit and has continued on in the same manner. When the adherents to UK talk of the ‘Precious Union’ it is a lie. It should truthfully be referred to as the Precious English Empire. No matter how they try to dress it up or pretend otherwise this is the reality. Even the name given out to this ‘Union of Equals’ is a lie. It is neither united or a kingdom. It is English domination over three Celtic nations. Nations that have been subsumed into a Greater England either by force of arms or bribery and corruption as in Scotland’s case. The Germanic monarchy was foisted upon Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales they did not choose the Saxe-Gotha Coburgs. James VI the first king of the United Kingdom of Scotland and England even had to be rebranded James I so as not to seem like England was equal to the other northern nation in the Union. When this Elizabeth ascended the throne, she became and remains to this day Elizabeth II. That in itself is an affrontery to all of Scotland.

The languages and histories of the Celtic Nations have similarly been stolen and redefined by the English majority to suit them and their narratives. They even lie about the ‘National News’ it is always the English news and delivered as if we all are English subjects. English politics, sport, education, health, worldview and sold to us as our views.

Even their political parties have to lie to get any kind of acceptance. While all of the House-Jock Parties have stated time after time no matter how Scotland votes, no matter the % of Scottish votes for independence they will deny the people the right to decide their own destiny. To promote this English imperial view they operate behind a Scottish label. Why, if they truly believe that British  Unionism is best for Scots, do they not stand proud, true and blue? Instead of Scottish Labour, Conservative or Liberal Parties why not stand as British Labour Party in Scotland. The British Conservative & Unionist Party, The British Liberal Party?

They continually espouse how great the union is for Scots, yet they can never articulate a positive case for that union. All they ever have is Scotland/Wales is too weak, too poor, too stupid. They tell Scots and now increasingly the Welsh the exact same that the generosity of the English tax payer is all that saves these Celts from penury and starvation. The Irish they hold in such contempt they do not even stand candidates there and instead leave it to deluded Britnats in the Province.

When challenged on the positive case for the union these House – Jocks, Taffies and Paddies quickly crumble. A simple question like ‘Is Scotland a nation?’ causes massive problems to the protectors of English domination. Should they answer truthfully and say Yes, then the supplementary question leaves them speechless and usually angry and abusive. ‘Isn’t it normal for nations to govern themselves?’ This reintroduces their only narrative. Scotland is too poor, too stupid, too weak.

This is exactly why broadcasting is a retained power. Any unionist politician put under the slightest questioning on the merits of the union would fall at the first hurdle. Rarely if ever do we see any of the House-Jocks subjected to true scrutiny. I have often opined that it is not the lies of our broadcasters and MSM that is the crime it is the omissions in their reporting that is their biggest failing. If ever they actually just told the truth Scotland would be independent at the very next election. A case in point is the Internal Market Bill. A recent survey showed that 90% of Scots are totally in the dark as to the repercussions of this act of the English Parliament. That is simply because the media in Scotland have gone out of their way to hide the truth of this power grabbing atrocious act. The foreign owned media in Scotland are a disgrace to journalism and the tenets of democracy. That most are children of Scotland makes it all the more disgusting. I can never understand why anyone could knowingly and willingly act against the interests of their own country of birth. The movement rightly baulks at using words like quisling, traitors, collaborators, personally I cannot yet find other words to adequately describe the actions of these people.

All that said the flicker of Scottish nationhood and freedom has remained since the 1707 betrayal. The picture accompanying this blog is of English/British garrisons in Scotland Post Culloden and the 1745 rebellion. There has been other less well taught and publicised rebellions by Scots through the 313 years of English domination. We do not know about them because our English imperial masters and their little helpers in Scotland have ensured we do not even know all of our own rich history. Sadly Scottish and Welsh children know more about Tudors and Windsors than about their own story.

Since November 1967 when Winnie Ewing won the Hamilton by election it has been a matter of when Scotland becomes independent not if Scotland becomes independent. Not only enlightened Scottish patriots have realised that reality the imperialists have also been in possession of that knowledge. Everything they have done from that day to this has been a delaying exercise. They cannot halt that march to independence. Though the last six years have been more of a crawl than a march.

Each and every day more and more Scots, new and old come to the realisation that the present political settlement does not work in Scotland’s favour. Once people make that inner discovery nothing will ever dissuade them. The threats and lies only bolster the Scottish hardcore Unionists they do not convert anyone or bring back those that have seen the light. Unionism and Unionists are literally dying out in Scotland. What has defeated the British Union is not Scottish, Welsh or Irish Nationalism, English Nationalism did that all by itself. If you could describe a nation, England would be called narcissistic.

Narcissistic personality disorder — one of several types of personality disorders — is a mental condition in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance, a deep need for excessive attention and admiration, troubled relationships, and a lack of empathy for others.

Because of these traits the inflated sense of importance has seen the humiliation and insanity of Brexit and the decline and demise of the union itself.They constantly attach labels to everything from their Test and Trace farce to their sport and Parliament as World leading, unsurpassed, none better!

Their trouble in relationships is shown by the fact that there is hardly a single nation on this planet they have not at some time or other been at war with. In Europe I think only Sweden of all the nations has not had English/British troops and navy attacking.

Lack of empathy that is shown in everyday life inside the union. Everything from Parliament, news reporting, drama, sport all the English view. They have no interest in what NI or Wales or Scotland thinks, feels or wants. Never has any policy been foisted on England by the Celtic Nations. Lost of policies, wars, foreign policy have been forced on the Celtic Nations by English force of numbers. There is no fixed financial budget for England.There is no GERS equivalent for England. England can borrow or print as much money as it wants and the Celtic Nations are just allocated a portion of that English debt. When England needs a railway line or a tunnel or a bridge the cost is spread over the four parts of the union. If the Scots or Welsh or Irish build a bridge, it comes out of their own allocated budget. That budget, of course, is decided by England. There is no allocated budget for England. Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland have deep pockets that England can pick, and they do!

Despite all this control an Independence movement has grown in Scotland that is unstoppable. It has been delayed and not just by the narcissistic English Parliament. Our own party of choice in the past six years has had the movement in neutral. The Independence engine is just ticking over, every election cycle the SNP driver gets into the independence seat and revs up that powerful engine. However instead of releasing the hand brake and engaging the gears as soon as the election cycle is over the engine is once again put back into neutral.

This time though as the election time nears our narcissistic neighbour is coming to confiscate the keys to the engine. Instead of revving up the engine, our present leadership it seems wants to put the vehicle back into neutral. We do not know when the conditions will ever be perfect for the SNP to finally say enough is enough!

Many of us are now saying to the SNP we cannot delay a moment longer. There is a big open road awaiting Scotland. Rev up that engine, slam the movement into gear, and we will do the rest. The time for delays and procrastination are over. Section 30 will never happen, forget about it and find an alternative method. We keep hearing from the uber loyal that Nicola has some cunning yet secretive masterplan. Should that be the case I would suggest the time has come to implement that plan! There can be no more delay!

  • Great article and summary of where we are in this subjugated colony. Time for action, time for new and strengthened leadership that wants, demands and delivers Independence. Now, Today, not Tomorrow, and every day hereafter until it is done!

    As for Tudor & Windsor, easy; one’s a canny bag o crisps and the other’s a knot!

  • BB: great analysis. Everyone outside the UK sees this state of affairs. Unfortunately for us who want independence, there are too many within Scotland and too many outwith Scotland who will do their level best to ensure we never get it, and many of these are in the SNP and wider YES movement itself. That is why we should always try to divide the two groups that oppose independence – the anti Scots and the British elites who actually benefit from keeping Scotland in its place, and those who, inadvertently, aid them in their endeavour by refusing to admit that certain actions must be taken to achieve independence.

    Independence was never achieved by any nation by sitting back and waiting for it to fall into its lap. That is fantasy of the cruellest kind, but the fantasy that is peddled daily-day by the SNP, and by various individuals and political groups within the larger independence umbrella, by refusing to acknowledge that it is a fantasy. I find it quite astonishing that so few people actually understand that no PRE independence referendum of any kind has been won in the past 50 years, and I can’t actually think of any won before that either, and I also believe that the reason for this insistence on one has a lot more to do with assuaging and pandering to hostile and sometimes, colonial, attitudes within Scotland itself than it has to do with reality.

    These attitudes are in direct contradiction of the UN Charter on self-determination and thy man a mockery of the Treaty Union, yet the SNP, and many in the wider YES movement seem unable to bring themselves to actually admit that or to look at alternatives. It is this pandering to NO voters of all kinds, since 2014, that has led to the stasis and inertia we are in now, instead of calling them out on their anti Scottish racism, for that is what it is. What else could it be to tell a nation that they are useless, which is the subtext of Unionist and British State propaganda? The danger to Scotland’s existence as anything other than a region of a Greater England in reality surely calls for a more realistic and courageous stance than this?

    It must be acknowledged, I think, that both a S30 referendum and a consultative referendum are cul-de-sacs now for two reasons: neither would be tolerated by the British State, and would be crushed or undermined; and neither is certain to be won. Even if it was to be won, would the result be honoured now, in light of Brexit and the drive towards a one nation English Tory state? Those are the crucial points: there is the winning hurdle to overcome even if we eventually get to hold one; and what happens if the rest is positive for us? We have been through the uncertain referendum – we did the in 2014 – and that was traumatic enough, having our best hopes dashed. It would destroy us for many years to go through that again. I might be wrong, of course.

    Unlike Quebec, which went through two such traumatic occasions, I don’t believe we should do that, but, rather, go hell for leather now on setting up the Scottish election to be the catalyst for immediate moves towards independence in the event of a win for the SNP or for a win via the SNP and other independence parties. Time is not on our side. It has not been on our side since 2014 and the British State’s realization that we are a direct threat to England-as-the-UK’s hegemony.

  • I’ve been hearing that Sturgeon has a secret plan tucked away in her handbag just ready to deploy at the right moment for about 4 years now. Turns out it is a book of excuses in the handbag along with the knife she stabbed Salmond in the back with.

  • SNP’s ” s30 fixation combined with the flawed policy of interference in England’s decision to exit the EU has undermined the sovereignty of Scotland’s people and painted us into a corner . I used to hope there was a cunning plan. There isn’t. What grieves me more is the belief inherent in the s30 nonsense that there are any circumstances under which UK will peacefully release their hold over us.
    There is a situation vacant at the head of our independence movement.

  • Excellent article! We need the ISP to keep holding the SNP’s feet to the fire for action on independence, if not the ISP should assume the mantle themselves as the lead player. Enough excuses. Enough hiding behind COVID. Enough bleating about S30. As the Internal Market Bill heads towards the statute books, the SNP is busy navel-gazing on GRA and Hate Crime legislation.

  • I could not disagree with this article.There is NO need whatsoever for this cooked up article 30,that is in the bag 2 to prove to others that route was used!! a fix!,no other country leaving Westminster needed that route.!Next a Treaty is an AGREED union,it is not a replacement for conquest(that was legally settled in the 14th century.Our mistake was to get involved in the first place,the next was joining London parties and morphing Scotland into THEIR politics.The other methods successfully used was bribery whether financial or titles,with promises of riches,and plunder of other countries.Instead of being indentured slaves we could become slave owners,we could fight in their armies good cannon fodder.What have we given up,far too much,it needs retrieved A.S.A.P.The problems must be removed for we do have a great future. 75% I believe even more than that!1
