Bow To YOur Imperial Masters!

[angelfire]

As you'll be aware, Scotland stands on the brink of freedom and independence - a new nation in the making!
The Yes campaign has drawn out the very best from all of Scotland who have conducted themselves with love, optimism, fairness and shown an enormous will for positive and creative change.
For me, the highlight of the campaign and one which relects the indomitable nature and ingenuity of the people of Scotland is this ten minute Youtube delight - Glasgow's response to the arrival of 100 Labour MP's from westminster as part of the Better Together campaign.
Enjoy and please, please, hold the image of a free and independent Scotland in your prayers and visualisations.

I'm pretty sure we'll be free. My family is from Scotland for many generations. Mother from Glasgee. I should wear the flag.

Brilliant video. Look at those humorless Anglo Saxon drones. Laugh in their faces until they dissolve. The cameraman is a real disruptor.

Separate from the Sassenachs! Reclaim the Scottish pride, fire up the Celtic spirit and kick their arses!

I just asked my Dad, and he said our ancestors were kicked off our land 300 years ago, during the highland clearances.

I nivvir trusted the English.

EDIT: My family were booted out of Sutherland, during a more brutal phase of the clearances. Celts have been oppressed for a long time...


Second phase of the Clearances[edit]

Ormaig was once the principal settlement on the Isle of Ulva near Mull. It had been inhabited since prehistoric times, until it was cleared by Francis William Clark in the mid 19th century.
It was only in the early 19th century that the second, more brutal phase of the Clearances began; this was well before the visit by George IV in 1822, when Lowlanders set aside their previous distrust and hatred of the Highlanders and identified with them as national symbols.

Most notorious are the examples of landlords trying to exploit changing economic circumstances to their financial advantage by clearing uneconomical tenants from their land, making room for more profitable uses such as sheep, deer forests or tourism. Two of the best documented such clearances are those from the land of the Duchess of Sutherland carried out by her factor Patrick Sellar, and the Glencalvie clearances which were witnessed and documented by a London Times reporter.[18][19][20]

In 1807 Elizabeth Gordon, 19th Countess of Sutherland, touring her inheritance with her husband Lord Stafford (later Duke of Sutherland), wrote that "he is seized as much as I am with the rage of improvements, and we both turn our attention with the greatest of energy to turnips". As well as turning land over to sheep farming, Stafford planned to invest in creating a coal-pit, salt pans, brick and tile works and herring fisheries. That year his agents began the evictions, and 90 families were forced to leave their crops in the ground and move their cattle, furniture and timbers to the land they were offered 20 miles (32 km) away on the coast, living in the open until they had built themselves new houses. This plan has been described as a "typical example... of social engineering which met neither the hopes of the benefactors nor the needs of the beneficiaries, but produced social disaster."[21]

Long live Scotland and be free you peoples North of the wall!

A heartfelt thanks everyone for your positive wishes - WE WILL DO THIS!!
Daozen, I spent time in Sutherland this summer and what a beautiful land it is. Although the sorrow of generations past is almost palpable as you travel through the landscape, just imagine the regeneration that may be possible in an independent Scotland!

With much hope and peace.

Nice one Daozen. You can add the Hydrogen Car that has been running on Shetland since 2007.

Cheers. I'm interested in anything like that. I'll start a new thread and see if anyone can help me hack that piece into easy to manage chunks. Scotland even grows Bamboo.
