An oath to favour Scots
The man who was the mastermind behind Scottish devolution now finds himself, under the present iniquitous situation, both Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and First Minister for England, the country he has encouraged his own countrymen to separate from.
This man has his constituency in Scotland and he was sent to Westminster by his own constituents to look after their country's non-devolved issues, not to be First Minister over the domestic policies of another country.
Before this man was allowed to take office he should have been made to declare publicly that he rescinds The Claim of Right.
This was a public oath signed by Gordon Brown in 1998 and read: "We gathered as the Scottish Constitutional Convention, do hereby acknowledge the sovereign right of the Scottish people to determine the form of government best suited to their needs, and do hereby declare and pledge that in all our actions and deliberations their interests shall be paramount."
The English have all seen and are feeling the results of this oath over the years of Scottish dominance in the British government.
How can Gordon Brown, who took this oath, become Prime Minister of the United Kingdom? He must declare that he will not put the interests of any part of the UK above any other part.
