Alistair @alistair1403.bsky.social · 25/09/2026You seriously need to turn an investigative spotlight onto the Treaty Of Union 1707. You'll find the UK is a made up thing. A voluntary union brought together by economic sanction, bribery, threat of invasion, and illegal dissolution of Scots Parliament to suppress the Convention Of The Estates. 000 0
