Sounds like some jobsworth had decided that you are not longer scottish.
My late Mother, a Dempster from Birth, and with all of the Kilts & Tartan, to go with it, was told something similar after marrying & living in England…!
Hard to understand why!
You are what you are born. Unless you want something different.
little countries arguing?? - did you know that once WA wanted to break away from the rest of Oz and I think UK can fit into it Oz approx 10.4 times? well WA is the powerhouse of Oz and provides all its financial gains almost! - so lets all stick together - it is safer in the end especially with Russia breathing down ya neck??
The Union Flag traces its roots to 1606 when it was originally called the Flag of Great Britain. King James VI of Scotland had inherited the thrones of England and Ireland in 1603, becoming James I, and united the thrones of England, Scotland, and Ireland, in a personal union.
However, Wales had already been conquered by England in the 13th century. Originally ruled by the Romans in its early history, England and Wales were seen as a single unit. By the time the Romans left Britain, Wales became an independent state with their own system of law.
However, during the Norman invasion of Wales in the 11th Century, English law was practised in certain areas of the country. By 1283, under the leadership of Prince Edward, the biggest army ever seen in England invaded and conquered Wales, bringing it under English rule.
Therefore, a few hundred years later when England was to be joined in the union with Scotland and Ireland, Wales was already part of “England”, and thus was not represented in the new union’s flag.
Clearly this is the two leadership candidates seeking support from the (few) tories in Scotland. The tories hate the SNP and Sturgeon. But the only way to ‘clip the wings’ of the Scottish first minister and the majority SNP party is to change the devolution structure. Well that is only going to give rise to more support for independence. Which shows how truly ignorant these two tory candidates are.
From what I’m reading on BBC News…there is nothing positive coming out of their mouths regarding what good they would do for Scotland. Its all “I would take on Sturgeon” or “Make Scotland accountable”
I read a few days ago that Truss wants to take back powers from Scotland, she certainly likes to dance with danger, not a good idea at all…Silly wee woman, needs a good boot up the behind. IMO.
What EXACTLY does she mean by saying she wants to scrutinise our FM? Who the hell does she think she is? Does she want a war with Scotland she’s certainly heading that way.
From the Perth Hustling just now.
Whoever wins the Tory leadership will immediately face demands from the SNP for an independence referendum to be held in October next year
Both candidates have vocally opposed another vote - known as indyref2
And they are both also calling for greater scrutiny of Nicola Sturgeon and the SNP’s record
The SNP says neither candidate is providing solutions to the cost of living crisis and either in Downing Street would boost support for independence
Its all deflection. They know the main party which requires “scrutiny” is them! So by attempting to redirect the focus onto us, well…yeah, love to see how that pans out for you Liz.
