Scottish
Patriots have been resisting the domination and exploitation of our
country by England and her servants, almost without interruption, since
the death of King Alexander III on March 18th 1286.
We are some of the present day practitioners of that resistance, and we
are as determined as our ancestors that Scotland shall one day be free
from our oppressive neighbour. We take as our constitution 'The
Declaration of Arbroath', and we are sworn to uphold the right of every
Scot to the freedoms guaranteed in that sacred document. No Scottish
Patriot will ever agree to the imposition of any 'government' that does
not accept, or fails to adhere to, all the principles the Declaration
of Arbroath established as being essential for any legally constituted
Scottish Government.
It is therefore our view that the administrations in Holy Rood and the
Palace of Westminster can never be considered by any Scottish Patriot
as anything other than illegal assemblies, designed specifically to
deny Scotland and her people their sovereign rights. We will oppose
anyone who seeks to act in such fashion with all the strengths that we
possess, using any means at our disposal.
All Scottish Patriots are aware that empires only ever relinquish
control over peoples and territory because of economic expediency or
military necessity. Neither of these conditions has yet been reached in
our homeland. They are likely to be far in the future. We dedicate
ourselves to bringing an end to our neighbour’s stranglehold over our
affairs long before we are beggared by her voracious greed! We are
engaged in a protracted struggle with an aggressive imperialist enemy,
but we shall never in any way submit to her domination over our nation
and territory.
Scottish Patriots.
