Stone of Destiny Dragged South

Against the will of Scots, the Stone of Destiny is being taken down to Westminster Abbey so that King Charles can have his Coronation sitting on it.

💬 "What a historical insult to the country… it was only ever underneath the coronation chair in Westminster Abbey… to symbolise English overlordship over Scotland"

Despite a clear lack of support amongst Scots for the Coronation – or the Monarchy.

Strangely, YouGov haven’t asked Scots the question
“Do you support the Stone of Destiny being taken South?”

But I think we can guess the answer. Perhaps they can, too.

it was ransacked, pillaged, stolen, in the 1290s by Edward Plantagenet, ‘Hammer of the Scots’

What does the taking of the Stone of Scone say about the attitude of Westminster and the new King to Scotland and her right to self-determination? Respect for Scots law? Dignity?

💬 "A nation without self-esteem, without self-confidence, without a sense of its history is no Nation at all… That is why it is important" @AlexSalmond also explains what he would have done if he was still First Minister 👇#ALBAforIndependence pic.twitter.com/vyqt2DkpxO

Despite all of this, Unionist Councils are splashing out £6.5 Million on the Coronation, telling the the homeless and the starving to ‘mind their place’ and celebrate the New King.

ALBA have launched a petition for an Independent Scotland to be a Republic.

Instead of ‘celebrating’ the Coronation, why not join with ALBA and all the other parties in favour of Scottish Independence in a March for Independence.
