Scotland’s resources legally belong to the Scottish people who are the Scottish Crown. To reclaim our Crown jewels, we must end the Union.I AM a Scotsman living in the US, and have recently discovered that following independence – of which I have been a fervent supporter since 1979 and will remain so for the rest of my life – I will lose my Scottish citizenship.
In 1982, I moved to the US , and I have lived here ever since. Until the most recent expiration of my UK passport, I have always renewed my UK passport. I decided not to renew it this time under the theory that I didn’t want a UK passport, and that I would renew my passport when it would be a Scottish passport.
I am desperately hoping that The National will take up the cause of my brother, sister, me and others similarly situated, and petition the SNP to review their citizenship requirements post-independence to include those of us who are currently Scottish, and not expel us from our country. All they have to do is acknowledge as Scottish citizens those of us with a grandparent born in Scotland – a common and normal requirement for citizenship.
It seems yet again that the SNP have no leadership at all and that the only conclusion is that the Greens are running the Government and the SNP are the poodles acting on their behalf!THE gleam in Longshank’s eye as he contemplated the marriage of the Maid of Norway with Edward of Caernarfon, which would land Scotland into English hands without a fight, was soon extinguished by the news the poor girl had taken ill and had died in the ship on the way to Orkney.
What followed in the next few years has placed in the English psyche the notion or the understanding that they actually somehow own Scotland – and evidence for that is everywhere today.
