'The meeting of Commissioners' - a #collage inspired by betrayal and my reading about the #ParcelOfRogues who sold out the sovereignty of the people of #Scotland in 1707.

It strikes me that the political shenanigans going on now are not much different to the sort of thing that went on was back then. Everyone has agendas and most are self-serving. Very few people involved in politics actually have any real guts or integrity.

#mastoart #DissolveTheUnion

This book I found in a charity shop provides great context to #Lockhart's memoirs of the #Union and the people involved.

The 4th Duke of Hamilton was a right two-faced slimeball. He had a legitimate claim to the throne of #Scotland, but when he realised no-one would support it he decided the Union was his next best option (lots of land in England). He betrayed his Jacobite friends many times over but managed to keep stringing them along.

Flynn: What advice would he have for those seeking to protect their finances? Seek out a future BBC chair to secure a loan? Set up a trust in Gibraltar and hope HMRC don't notice? Or should they simply apply for 'non-dom' status?

Sunak has nothing. ~AA #PMQs #ParcelOfRogues

"John, Earl of Stair, was the origine and principal instrument of all the misfortunes that befel either the king or the kingdom of #Scotland...

It was he that, to secure his court interest in King William's time, contrived, and was the author of, the barbarous murder of #Glencoe...

It was he that first suffered, I should rather say, taught and encouraged, England arbitrarily and avowedly to rule over Scots affairs, invade her freedom and ruin her trade."
