Tartan Day: Proclaiming the march to a Scottish Republic

[222macgregor]

72% of Scots want to be British? Please stop making up false figures, you complete tool.

The latest poll states that 41% wish for Scotland to become independent. To claim that 42% is a minority would be rubbish.

I'm all in favour of independence however, refuse to support independence under the current SNP administration.

The last thing Scotland needs is far left socialists leading us into ruin. I had to cancel my SNP membership after the Lockerbie fiasco.

[ScotlandsMessenger]

@222macgregor Releasing the Lockerbie bomber was exactly NOT independence in action. It was the Queen's ministers following the line the kingdom and union crown wanted.

[ScotlandsMessenger]

@222macgregor Lockerbie was a right-wing royalist fiasco - releasing a terrorist mass murderer to facilitate an oil deal with Lybia arranged by Prince Andrew, UK trade representative and former Lord High Commissioner of the Church of Scotland; the Prince being exactly the right person for Kenny MacAskill to want to please as the royalist lackey he is.

The SNP in no way are "left wing socialists". You were right to leave the SNP, royalist lackey right-wing scum who are soft on terrorism.

[dan11009]

@222macgregor far left socialists? - you are misinformed friend

[duffer35]

just a question are all Scots who are pro independence anti monarch/pro republic? as a scot myself i am all for independence but still with the scottish monarch and no republic. also do you really think the proclaimers was the best choice of background music?!

[DeepSixed300]

@duffer35 Alex Salmond, for the most obvious example, is a major Royalist

[warriorprince1010]

72% of Scots want to be British so I guess they are entitled to their wishes.

[ScotlandsMessenger]

@warriorprince1010 Well this time you guess right but when you guessed that the UK, the Union Crown, the Queen and her family are pro-British you guessed wrong.

If you were a holy and loyal Briton instead of a devil-Queen worshipping traitor, you'd be against the UK too.

I am one of the 72% of Scots who want to be British but I don't want to be in the UK or ruled by the Union Crown.

I guess that I am entitled to a republic and the right to elect a president as head of state.

[warriorprince1010]

Only 28% of Scots want to break away from the UK. Salmon needs to stop making thing sup, he is not Mel Gibson and the English have done nothing but good to the Scots.

[ScotlandsMessenger]

@warriorprince1010 Well I'd rather be in the minority who are right than the majority who are wrong, and sticking with the UK is wrong.

Well if you need to make a fish course up - "Salmon" is perfect!

It is fairer to say that the Scots have done bad to the English as much as the English have done bad to the Scots - the "bad" being support for the UK and the monarchy.

[warriorprince1010]

@ScotlandsMessenger  The minority and wrong, worst of both worlds.

[ScotlandsMessenger]

@warriorprince1010 So the-minority-is-the-worst-of-t­his-world, you think?

Do you not understand the words which you quote on your channel - "If the world hates You, You know that it has hated me before it hated You."

Do you suggest that Jesus Christ who died on the cross, as only a minority do die for their beliefs, was the "worst" of this world for being in a minority?

A warrior does not fear being in a minority as the "worst" but welcomes an opportunity to be the best.

Try harder.

[genie02]

yeah we want to live side by side with our English neighbours but we want independence. we are not anti english just because we want to govern ourselves

[WEEJIMMYBOY]

Most decent and civilized scots are sick to the teeth of the scottish nazis. We want to live side by side with our english neighbours.Not live in some tartan brigadoon!

[ScotlandsMessenger]

WEEJIMMYBOY - The chief Scottish Nazis are the self-styled "Queen of Scots" Elizabeth, her oft-to-be-seen-in-a-kilt idiot son Charles.

They are Nazis because they impose themselves as head of state on the Scots and indeed our beloved English neighbours.

However, most Scots are brainwashed by the BBC and other mass-media to support said Scottish Nazis and their rule as implemented by the Queen's ministers in Holyrood and Westminster.

Only republicans really oppose the royalist Nazis.

[chadstur1991]

The kilt belongs to the Scottish and there's no need for a debate.

Typical English fannies!

VOTE SNP

[ScotlandsMessenger]

chadstur1991 - The real "fannies" are those like yourself who say "VOTE SNP" without mentioning that the SNP are traitor "fannies" who surrender to Queen Elizabeth's fanny.

The SNP are royalist fascist "fannies" and you sound like one of them.

Scottish republicans are not "fannies" because we insist on Scots rights to elect a Scottish president as head of the Scottish state in place of a Queen and her fanny.

Get up off your knees to the Queen's fanny laddie! You are embarrassing us!

[brazeau2009]

same battle here in Québec to get rid of this english queen and establish a french republique out of Canada

[ScotlandsMessenger]

brazeau2009 - That Queen was forced on the English same as she was forced on the rest of us.

All republicans whose nations are held in slavery by that Queen should recognise, as you have my friend, that we are in the same battle, we are on the same side, we face the same enemy and we share the same aims - democratic republics to serve the freed nations with elected presidents to defend citizens' constitution rights.

Liberté, égalité, fraternité!

Liberty, equality, fraternity!

[ScotlandsMessenger]

brazeau2009 - Specifically, I invite you to register with the For Freedom Forums, for robust political debate, inspired by Scots, open to all.

This is an international forum run by republicans like myself so you and your republican comrades from Quebec would be most welcome.

There are links to the For Freedom Forums in the description of my ScotlandsMessenger channel page and also in this video's (more info).

I will also send you an invite in a message if I can.

[Hoolet2009]

I wonder if Nancy Pelosi has any idea how ridiculous she looked in that tartan scarf? You know Salmond was just being polite to her. I would have respected her much more if she had just been herself, rather than see her trying to look "Scottish," and she probably has no clue what that really means.

[jasdanrfcuk]

the queen is just on the dole but getting much more because ppl think shes better than us what a crock.

[globaltraveller]

It is well known that the Kilt wasn't invented by Rawlinson - it is funny how it had been around for several hundred years before he arrived in Scotland. Seems to be another little myth that the English have invented about themselves....

[Brythonek]

Tartan day makes me laugh. The modern kilt was invented by an English Quaker, Rawlinson in the early 1700's. The idea of each clan having its own historical tartan is largely fictitious and most of this so-called highland culture was "re-"invented in the 19th century to please Queen Victoria.

[bhoysinlisbon67]

Boo! Bah! Hiss!

[Amunication]

"It is needless to spend much time in exposing the folly of hereditary right; if there are any so weak as to believe it, let them promiscuously worship the ass and lion, and welcome it. I shall neither copy their humility, nor disturb their devotion."

[atthesink]

Trent Lott we need more senator like you to speak out in support of Scotland as right now England arnt lisining to us

[ScotlandsMessenger]

atthesink - You are wrong. England is listening but to Salmond who is telling them that Scots have surrendered to Queen Elizabeth and he wants us to stay in the Union of the crowns.

What we need is more Scots speaking out and saying that the traitor royalist, unionist Salmond does not speak for all us Scots.

We must oppose Salmond's fraud referendum plan which imposes a Queen's state enslaving the Scots - national independence it is NOT!

We need a Scottish republic, nothing less.

[atthesink]

Why when the Queen has no say in our affairs becomeing a republic would only damage relation with England and when were free we will still traid with England.Also other nations have the Queen as head of state and yet they are fully independant of England

[Bankiedrummer]

Royalist he might be. I'm not sure. Alex Salmond may be the first minister but it always been the idea that if Scotland won independence that we would keep the monarchy.

Unionist he is most certainly not. Our first minister speaks with passion when talking about Scotlands future and indeed Scotlands Independence.

As a member or the federation of student nationalists (FSN) I don't whole heartedly agree that we should get rid of the monarchy which they do.

[Irishfianna]

Scottish Independence baby!

Mon eh Scotland

[FinlandsBestTalkShow]

Mon the Scotland!

[mrfoxywhiskers]

Perhaps you've forgot the Queen's Mother was from an ancient Scottish family the Bowes Lyons who have resided in Glamis Castle for over 600 years. Her own Uncle Fergus was killed in WW1 serving in the Black Watch fighting for Britain. But then reality and truth is not convenient it seems for many Scottish Nationalists prefering instead to make out the 'English' are aliens with no connection to the northern part of the island. Our sensible ancestors realised a union made perfect sense.

[ScotlandsMessenger]

mrfoxywhiskers - No I've not forgotten. In fact if you visit my Scottish National Standard Bearer website, link in (More info) -then click on the union flag link, you can read this amongst info about threats from the UK.

"Although I'm no royalist, this standard bearer remembers and honours the Scots who were proud to fight for a free Britain."

[calicheSCOT]

Boudica and Arthur (if he even existed) were long before scotland was even recognised as a country. I agree the lion rampant is the royal standard of scotland, but has appeared on the coat of arms of scottish and british royals for generations since James I (VI). Interesting point but surely using a royal standard can only confuse any republic, Imagine the coat of arms of the american foundunding fathers on the stars and stripes! Its a royalist flag no doubt about it.

[ScotlandsMessenger]

It is precisely by asserting the Lion Rampant as a standard on its own - no mere 1/4 or at best 2 1/4s of the UK royal standard - that leading Scottish patriots, such as myself (this is no time for false modesty) recall and revive the position of head of state of an independent Scotland.

Now heads of states, whether they be Kings or Presidents, have their symbol.

The US President has a seal of his own, and there is a similar Great Seal of the USA, kept by the Secretary of State (Condi!).

[calicheSCOT]

A interesting and valid point, yes many presidents have their own seal, but all reflect the democratic roots of the nation, not an individuals lineage like the lion. They are very different. Surely the semiotics relate to royal heraldry too strongly? I mean, its universally recognized as a royal coat of arms just by itself, would it not be harder to assert it on its own than perhaps a new symbol for a democratic nation?

[calicheSCOT]

Confused, you really shouldn't show the lion rampant when campaigning for independence, it is in fact the standard for the British monarchy in Scotland. The saltire is the national flag. So if we do ever get independence you can kiss the lion goodbye.

[ScotlandsMessenger]

No in fact Queen Boudica and King Arthur were before the Lion Rampant flag came into use.

The Windsors are ANTI-British monarchs.

The Lion Rampant was the standard of the Scottish King or Queen, whose most important duty was to defend the independence - not of himself - but of the Scottish nation.

I have written on the "Functions of a Scottish National Standard Bearer" page on my website [see (More info) for link] about the claim of Scottish republicans as better patriots to the Lion.

[eoin1916]

To all supporters of Scottish independence - educate, agitate and organise from now til independence. Saor Alba.

[Dave1297]

Not Bad Vid But WTF Is The dearest Nancy bit all about?!

You feeling Ok Mate?!

[ScotlandsMessenger]

Dave1297 - Well there is a world of difference between the fake kisses that politicians and diplomats give each other on the world stage and true love.

I AM in love with Condoleezza Rice and I think the American-British-Scottish-Engl­ish-etc special relationships (between the nations) are true love.

Whereas the U.S.-U.K. relationship (between the states, the republic and the kingdom) is more of a marriage of convenience.

At least, I hope Americans don't really love the UK Queen anyway.

[jpx08]

Long live a Scottish Republic!

Freedom to all the Celtic Lands!

[XxScottishRebelxX]

Were getting are referendum folks! time to grasp the thistle and take back our country!

[jammybaza]
