Dame Fee of the hairy bairns

And right there is the story the British establishment has been peddling since Scottish nationalism first began attracting support from its other historical victims. It’s a tale spun out of a lie, the fiction of a ‘British’ state which Scotland joined voluntarily- making it part of the whole empire project. Well here is the truth that is always absent from ‘British’ history: British means English and did from at least a century before the annexation of Scotland (‘union’) Scotland was annexed under pretext of a treaty while England continued unaltered (no new GN was ever created), and this caused diplomatic outrage in Europe even among England’s allies. England was engaged in slavery and colonisation a century before the annexation. Scotland was not - and had made slavery illegal by 1707. English not Scottish law applied across every ‘British’ colony The driving force of the entire rancid, vicious, disgusting empire project was the East India Company. It held its Charter as an English company explicitly from the English Crown and Parliament right up to its dissolution a century after the annexation of Scotland (union). The empire was wholly and entirely English - ‘British’ abroad. It recruited from every one of its colonies. Indian troops were used to invade and colonise East Africa for the British. India was still colonised. Colonised peoples lose their livelihoods and trade economies and wind up serving either in the military or the administration of the colonial power. Scots are not Scotland. You may not conflate individuals with an entire nation. Scots, however, appear disproportionately as plantation owners in the Caribbean until you realise that no one has yet investigated and separated those who held, not real title, but power of attorney (so that their names appear on transactions), from the true absentee English owners who chose not to risk the death trap these islands were known as. They employed Scots to do that instead. I could go on / and on and on but so could every other member of a colonised people who had finally learned the true history behind the colonial cover up.
