A huge factor in the flawed part of Gordon Brown’s past ‘plot’ to encourage Prince William to help in persuading (gullible) Scots to stay within their UK, as in William the future heir to the English Throne (if , that is, it, as an English throne, still exists in the future) .
Remember when it was reported in 2021 that Gordon Brown met with Prince William at Holyrood palace.
The BBC reported that “The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have held a private meeting with Gordon Brown – who recently launched a renewed campaign to keep Scotland in the UK”
A coincidence then, as to the timing of this meeting between Brown and the Royals what with his, Brown’s, recently launched campaign, and so his latest attempt at a campaign to try to thwart democracy in Scotland.
All being a part of Brown’s latest operation aka intervention to try to con voters in Scotland to stay in the UK, which is now a very hard sell……mission impossible surely.
The BBC website wrote that:
“William and Kate had talks with the former prime minister at the Queen’s official Edinburgh residence on Thursday. William later gave a speech describing how Scotland had shaped him, and praised its people and values“. ( I bet he did…..did Gordon Brown help him write some of these -condescending – words…..).
Why would the Royals want to meet with a former UK PM ?
Also unfortunately for Brown the meeting between him and the Royals could not be kept as a secret meeting , as it appeared later in the court circular – the daily digest of royal events.
So there was a suspicion that this meeting between Brown (a former UK PM) and members of the royal family may have been an attempt by Brown to get them to help reinforce unionist sentiment aka propaganda, in order to link that with his campaign to save the (non) union.
As he , Brown, had just launched ‘Our Scottish Future’ a so called ‘Think’ Tank that had been described “as a “campaigning movement” that will “seek to appeal to ‘middle Scotland’ – as in those assumed to be those who are not already entrenched in their support for or opposition to independence”.
So then where is the “flaw” in Brown formerly, in 2021, seeking to engage support for his (non) Union from William & Kate.
Well today, 21 February 2026, there are pictures of Kate at Twickenham , the home of English Rugby, cheering on England and so wearing an England scarf , in her role as patron of England Rugby (remember also when William was formerly the President of the English FA) .
So both of their clear support is only for England’s various National sporting teams , a support for England over all of the other Nations within the UK, when some day they will be the future King & Queen , should that then not make all Scots not just those in “Middle Scotland” think that their royal allegiance lies not with Scotland but instead it clearly lies elsewhere……with England only !
Once you see a pattern with this future King & Queen….that is in their support obviously being for England only, you then wonder in what way could they , as English royalty , assume that they would ever be able to persuade, via any logical and honest argument, us , as Scots, to stay in their royal Kingdom with their country, England.
Especially when currently they attend, support and hold positions of power within English sporting institutions that will often play matches against our country’s National sporting sides, Scotland !
We do not need the wealthy , entitled and privileged English royalty patronising us in their token roles as part time royals, that is when they occasionally come up for flying visits to Scotland .
Of course the other reasons that they come to Scotland is to holiday in their Scottish estates , where they hunt, fish and enjoy our wonderful Scottish landscape and so they have far more privacy , peace and tranquillity compared to Buckie Hoose in London (that is in their country’s capital city and also their main base as English royalty….that is their big hoose aka their royal palace).
If I were the English Royalty then “I would think very carefully” about “their own future” as royals , as opposed to assuming that they can, like Granny did, try to interfere in a decision that should lie only with the people of Scotland.
Also with all of the scandals now linked to English royalty then I am sure no Royal in the future will be heard “purring down the line”, if that is , they still exist as royalty in the future. That is in doubt….so then will Brown’s plan also be in doubt , as in the one to get Wills to appeal to any gullible Scots…..so that we in Scotland can then help make Will and Gordon’s England Great Again…. No Thanks

Talking-up Scotland 
Both trying to cling on to their disgusting massive wealth. A couple of charlatans taking £Billions out of Scotland. The Banking crash impoverishing people worldwide. The greedy, extravagant Royals and politicians stealing £Billions of public money. The Royals pay not inheritance tax, no corporation and capital gains tax. Greedy hypocrites. The poor funding their extravagant lifestyle.
The UK the most unequal place in the world.

Gordon has questions to answer. It was he who gave Mandelson a peerage and brought him back into government after Mandelson had been sacked twice and implicated in several dodgy deals.
Gordon was Mandelson’s boss while Peter was sharing the Governments secrets.
Somebody should be asking Gordon what HE knew and when.

“Somebody should be asking Gordon what HE knew and when”.
Funny you should say that………..
As the BBC website on the 3rd February wrote that:
“Brown – who was prime minister between 2007 and 2010 – said he had written to Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley with “relevant information” relating to Lord Mandelson’s apparent correspondence with Epstein”.
(So how long has that “relevant information” been known, and so then sat on ? That is, in respect to Brown having this Mandelson’s “correspondence with Epstein” ) ?
Also the BBC stated that “Brown said he had shared with police a letter he had sent in September asking the cabinet secretary to “investigate the veracity of information contained in the Epstein papers regarding the sale of assets arising from the banking collapse and communications about them between Lord Mandelson and Mr Epstein”.
(Sent in September 2025 ? So prior to then Brown had no clue what Mandy had been up to….though neither it seems did the British security Services nor the British media…..so just how safe are we, in Scotland, really supposed to feel and so then be, as a part of their UK State) ?
So then an example of a time when the supposed “Broad shoulders” of the UK State were slumped.
The BBC article continued in stating that “Brown said the alleged correspondence was an “inexcusable and unpatriotic act at a time when the whole government and country were attempting to address the global financial crisis“.
“The apparent emails between Lord Mandelson and Epstein were part of a huge release of documents by the DoJ on Friday”
“Emails released in the files from 2008 appear to show Lord Mandelson – who was then business secretary – discussing the government’s plans for a one-off tax on bankers’ bonuses with Epstein”.
(From 2008 )??????
(“huge release of documents by the DOJ”).
(Why then has someone sat on that “huge” amount “of documents” for so long , that had emails between Mandelson & Epstein discussing the government’s plans for a one-off tax on bankers’ bonuses with Epstein”)?
Of course this kind of sensitive and damaging information is just the kind of scandal that would bring down the SNP government, had it been them involved in this kind of historical (and current) scandal…….
However somehow a former UK PM (Brown) and also the current UK PM (Starmer) will try to wash their hands of any (and all) blame.
So yes I totally agree “Somebody should be asking Gordon what HE knew and when”, as for far too long this former unimpressive UK PM (Brown) has been rolled out as if he is notable person that should always be listened to and so then respected…….especially upon Scotland.
Perhaps it is now time that the media put Brown out to pasture and so then stop promoting all that he has to say via his biased and partisan perspective…..and so then his days of unwanted interventions into Scotland’s affairs and so into our future should, God willing, finally be at an end.
