It’s way past the moment when the Scottish People should be showing their teeth by insisting that MSPs enact the International Covenant on Civil & Political Rights in Scottish law. Nothing’s stopping them ! That would open the door to meaningful Popular Sovereignty (in other words, “Direct Democracy”) whereby popular initiatives and referendums would allow the Scottish People to stop England raping Scotland.
It's enough to make you weep it really bloody is. I think now you are correct in calling Holyrood an 'administration' rather than a government. Swinney is useless, feckless and if he is celebrating GERS and saying Scotland has a 'deficit' (depends in what context I guess) he is seriously screwing things up for any forward planning for Scotland to escape England's clutches, because the same old lies will be rolled out 24/7 by the BritNats, too small, too poor'. The BritNats' 'too stupid' label however is looking more valid as each day passes. I know the BritGBUK state and their dodgy pals abroad won't let Scotland go without a fight, but to accept GERS as being anything other than a massive ruse, a CON, a scam, is just idiotic in the extreme.
They are coming for Scotland's water next. I despair.
Colonialism is primarily about the economic plunder of a people and their lands/seas (Albert Memmi). Elected SNP Scottish national liberation governments should have been knocking on the UN door years ago in an effort to end the theft of our resources and liberate the people. That they refuse to do so confirms they are nothing more than a colonial administration and 'part of the racket' (Fanon):
The people have to better understand their condition and their reality, Leah, to discover what independence means (i.e. decolonization) and why it is necessary (liberation from oppression).
The role of anti-colonial organisations, literature and especially blogs such as yours and others are key to better understanding. Applying Fanon's three phases of decolonization, it would appear Scots are now in or close to phase three, with some suggestions here by Freire, and others:
There is a proposal to build the Ossian floating offshore windfarm off Aberdeen in which the output will go directly from the windfarm by undersea cable direct to Lincolnshire ie not even touching Scotlland.
Using the name of my favourite beer, Ossian, and of course taken from the 'Poems of Ossian' written by Scottish Poet, James Macpherson, how dare they aside the massive resources being thieved from right under the noses of the Scottish people and their administration at Holyrood.
I never tire of watching this wee snippet, hope its' OK to share. 'Little England, great britain or great england whatever you wanna call it then'. Music to my ears.

True, Alf. Question is - what is to be done now?
The people have to better understand their condition and their reality, Leah, to discover what independence means (i.e. decolonization) and why it is necessary (liberation from oppression).

Outrageous, isn't it? What a difference if we had an independent media and therefore a more informed public. We're constantly lied to and belittled.
