A Guest Post from Allan Petrie of Liberate Scotland
For too long, the dream of an independent Scotland has been held hostage by internal division and sabotage. While the people of Scotland have made their voice clear time and time again, some factions within the broader independence movement appear more interested in sowing discord than in achieving the goal of independence itself.
Liberate Scotland was formed with a simple, unifying purpose, to secure Scottish independence through a plebiscite election. We stand firm in our belief that a plebiscite election is the clearest, most direct route to independence, a vote for a Liberate Scotland candidate is a vote for independence. No convoluted manifestos, no distraction, just one line that says it all.
Yet, despite this clear and unwavering mission, we face constant attacks from those who claim to support independence. They insist that Liberate Scotland must produce a detailed manifesto, even though a plebiscite election needs no such thing.
They know as well as we do that anything more than a one-line commitment to independence would muddy the waters. It would hand unionists the very ammunition they crave, a chance to argue that independence wasn’t the real question.
We must ask ourselves why these so called independence supporters are so eager to derail our efforts. Are they truly so blind that they cannot see the danger of complicating a plebiscite election? Or is this a deliberate tactic, an attempt to keep the Yes movement fragmented and powerless?
Let’s be clear, a plebiscite election for independence requires nothing more than a crystal clear pledge to independence. Anything else only serves to weaken the cause and play into the hands of those who want to keep Scotland tied to Westminster.
We have always known that the Yes movement has been infiltrated. Now, as these individuals reveal themselves by attacking Liberate Scotland, we see the truth. Their goal is not to unite the movement or to win independence, it’s to keep us divided and distracted.
It’s time to call out these saboteurs. Let the wider Yes movement see them for what they are, obstacles standing in the way of independence. Let’s expose their tactics, reject their divisive demands, and move forward together with renewed determination.
The goal is simple. The mandate is clear. The time for division is over. Let’s unite behind Liberate Scotland and make the dream of independence a reality
So where do we call them out, as I experienced the narcissistic abuse from one on Facebook last night for advocating true independistas actions for a plebescite.
Wherever you encounter them, csll them out. I am saddened to say some are SNP a lot of them newbies and cultees.The Gender mob of course! Even sadder,some are Alba colleagues. Some are riven with jealousy or ego or both.This allows the unionists to easily infiltrate these negative threads and spread more poison. Scotland,we are most times our own worst enemies!
Misinformation is the name of the Unionist game. Posing as ALBA or other Independents. The SNP will continue to fragment with or without Swinney. This is our movements opertunity we must have a summit or a joint indy conferences later this year. The English state are highly active as the loss of Scotlands resources will cause a hard reality check in England’s economy. Anyone who was at Dunfermline or watched SSRG on YouTube will have been lifted by the positive journey we have taken to free our country.
I can honestly say I have heard no one slag Liberate Scotland in or out of ALBA. More nutcasess, and agent provocatours will emerge as we get closer to the prize. I do listen to gossip but like a cold pizza it is much more difficult to swallow after a couple of days in the fridge. So shit will be stirred even more as the grip on Scotlands throat tightens. Infighting spiked inside the SNP 30 year’s ago when results were down. But when we hit success we were all best of friends.
Our time must come we must work together we must have a conference of the willing. The doldrums won’t last so be careful everyone. Look before you leap, who are you talking too, suspect everyone, muffle your phone, don’t put it on the table when talking Turkey. John Swinney is not the only sleeper in the movement.
Allan,
Are we allowed to ask questions?
Nothing to stop you asking questions if that was your belief I do not think you understood Allan’s article.
OK.
So assuming we win 50%+1 of seats and 50%+1 of the vote. How is independence declared?
A UDI at a location not under WM jurisdiction
Very will put Allan, clear and concise. Many thanks.
” a vote for a Liberate Scotland candidate is a vote for independence. No convoluted manifestos, no distraction, just one line that says it all.”
Allan is right – for any colonised nation “the most urgent matter is freeing the people” (Memmi). Anything else is just background noise causing division.
Allan is dead right, nothing else needs to be said, but please don’t leave it to others to call out the dissenters, why not call them out right here ?
If you genuinely agree with Allan, Why don’t you name some of them Geoff? You know several of them very well!
Yes. Please name these saboteurs and infiltrators. Id also like to see these attacks on Liberate Scotland. These are pretty big accusations to throw about without actually naming anyone…
“While the people of Scotland have made their voice clear time and time again”
Yes we have… in 2014, in Sturgeon’s de facto referendum last year and in Hamilton last week.
In no General or Scottish election EVER, have parties of independence garnered more that 50% of the vote.
The people of Scotland don’t want independence, that much is clear.
However they have won every election at every level and by a higher % than any UK Gov since 1945. Yet you English nationalists are petrified of a referendum
In the 2015 UK General Election in Scotland:
SNP Vote Share: 50%
Scottish Greens Vote Share: 1.3%
Total pro-Independence Parties: 51.3%.

Best to check your facts before you go shooting your mouth off.
Since following BarrheadBoy/Through a Scottish Prism, I’m continually impressed and proud that we have such Scots of whom we can be rightly proud.
Allan’s undoubted love, passion, intent and Will, to liberate our Scotland is unstinting.
For over ten years, we’ve been continually let down by charlatans claiming to be ‘for’ Independence, who have ‘bought fully into Devolution, to try to hold onto ‘Parliamentary Sovereignty’, looking after themselves and unbothered that in being thus, they’re betraying we, to whom their loyalty is owed and whose
PRIME DUTY is to protect Scotland, and everything relating thereto that belongs to WE, the Sovereign People of Scotland.
Traitors all!
Unlike those who are willingly failing in their duty to us, Allan has no problem in delivering the message that our time is coming and we Scots, Independents for Independence and even those ‘happy to be Devolutionist Parties’, claiming to be ‘for Independence’, need to unite under Liberate Scotland.
Our voices will no longer be silenced, our WILL no longer dismissed and we will take back
Our Nation and everything belonging to the Sovereign People of Scotland.
Allan, we’re lucky to have your ilk and in whom our trust can be placed.
I salute you!
