The Scottish National Party

The point of the SNP is that they want separation from England. At all events that is the impression that I got and lots of others too. But it turns out that they are another bunch of anti-Scottish, anti-White Racists & communist subversives who bribe Islamic trouble makers as a way of buying votes. They are Fascists to boot; see e.g. Centralising, illiberal, catastrophic the SNP’s one-party state. The SNP is currently [ April 2017 ] run by Comrade Sturgeon. Confirmation of their anti-nationalist policy is at SNP Is Anti Nationalist & Anti- Scotland. Another writer, another view comes from the Irish Savant. He understands the inner subtleties of Scots and Irish politics; their hatred too. See what he says about the big picture at Scots Politics Explained For Real. An earlier article tells us that the allegedly Scottish allegedly national party committed fraud to install Humza Yousaf, Kenyan-Pakistani Muslim half-breed as their Minister for Europe.

Scottish National Party ex Wiki
The Scottish National Party (SNP) is a Scottish nationalist[13][14] and social-democratic[15][16][17] political party in Scotland. The SNP supports and campaigns for Scottish independence.[18][19] It is the third largest political party by membership in the United Kingdom, behind the Conservative Party and the Labour Party.[20]

The SNP was founded in 1934, with the merger of the National Party of Scotland and the Scottish Party. The party has had continuous parliamentary representation since Winnie Ewing won the 1967 Hamilton by-election.[21]

As of 2014, the SNP is the largest political party in Scotland in terms of membership, MSPs and local councillors, with over 80,000 members, 65 MSPs and 424 councillors.[1][22][23] The SNP also currently holds 6 of 59 Scottish seats in the House of Commons of the United Kingdom. The party has 2 MEP's in the European Parliament, who sit in The Greens/European Free Alliance group. The SNP is a member of the European Free Alliance (EFA).

With the creation of the Scottish Parliament in 1999, the SNP became the second largest party, serving two terms as the opposition. The SNP came to power in the 2007 Scottish general election, forming a minority government, before going on to win the 2011 election, after which it formed its first majority government.[24]The leader of the SNP, Alex Salmond, is the current First Minister of Scotland.[25]

 

Nicola Sturgeon ex Wiki
Nicola Ferguson Sturgeon
(born 19 July 1970) is a Scottish politician who is the fifth and current First Minister of Scotland and the leader of the Scottish National Party (SNP), in office since 2014. She is the first woman to hold either position. Sturgeon has been a member of the Scottish Parliament since 1999, first as an additional member for the Glasgow electoral region from 1999 to 2007, and as the member for Glasgow Southside since 2007 (known as Glasgow Govan from 2007 to 2011).

A law graduate of the University of Glasgow, Sturgeon worked as a solicitor in Glasgow. After being elected to the Scottish Parliament, she served successively as the SNP's shadow minister for education, health and justice. In 2004 she announced that she would stand as a candidate for the leadership of the SNP following the resignation of John Swinney. However, she later withdrew from the contest in favour of Alex Salmond, standing instead as depute (deputy) leader on a joint ticket with Salmond.

Both were subsequently elected, and as Salmond was still an MP in the House of Commons, Sturgeon led the SNP in the Scottish Parliament from 2004 to 2007. The SNP won the highest number of seats in the Scottish Parliament in the 2007 election and Salmond was subsequently appointed First Minister. He appointed Sturgeon as Deputy First Minister and Cabinet Secretary for Health and Wellbeing. She was appointed as Cabinet Secretary for Infrastructure, Investment and Cities in 2012.

Following the defeat of the "Yes" campaign in the 2014 Scottish independence referendum, Salmond announced that he would be resigning as party leader at the SNP party conference that November, and would resign as First Minister after a new leader was chosen.[1] No one else was nominated for the post by the time nominations closed, leaving Sturgeon to take the party leadership unopposed at the SNP's annual conference. She was formally elected to succeed Salmond as First Minister on 19 November.[2]

Forbes magazine ranked Sturgeon as the 50th most powerful woman in the world in 2016 and 2nd in the United Kingdom.[3][4]

 

Centralising, illiberal, catastrophic the SNP’s one-party state [ 17 October 2015 ]
QUOTE
Centralising, illiberal, catastrophic: the SNP’s one-party state
For years, the Scottish government has used the independence argument to avoid proper scrutiny. That has to stop
Imagine a country where the government so mistrusted parents that every child was assigned a state guardian — not a member of their family — to act as a direct link between the child and officials. Imagine that such a scheme was compulsory, no matter how strongly parents objected. Imagine that the ruling party controlled 95 per cent of MPs, and policed the political culture through a voluntary army of internet fanatics who seek out and shout down dissent.

Welcome to Nicola Sturgeon's Scotland in 2015. The First Minister is admired the world over. She has a few curious notions — chiefly, the idea that the political and cultural differences between Scots and the English are so great that the only solution is to sue for separation. But there is no denying it: she is intelligent, thoughtful and spirited. She has even mastered the Billy Connolly technique of giving a little giggle to her own jokes. Those outside Scotland have the sense of a charismatic insurgent, already looking forward to a new referendum that she’d have a good chance of winning.

But what is far less known south of the border is that the SNP have been in government since 2007 — and that its rule has been a disaster. Their central premise, that control from Edinburgh is inherently better, has been tested to destruction. Their stream of illiberal reforms and their mistrust of the Scottish people has led to power being centralised to an unprecedented degree. The SNP avoid proper scrutiny by always steering the conversation back towards independence.

For years, I have watched this with increasing alarm from my position as a professor of constitutional law at Glasgow University. I have decided to fight the SNP, and their pernicious ideology, by standing for the Scottish parliament as a Conservative candidate. What follows are my reasons for joining not just a fight for the survival of the union, but to preserve the basic notion of liberty that Scots have done much to define and defend.

The proposal for a ‘named person’ — i.e., a state guardian for children — is a classic example of what is going so wrong. The person will, in the Scottish government’s chilling words, ‘monitor what children and young people need’. That parents, families, doctors and teachers do this already is not enough: the state must do it, too. Badged under the ghastly Orwellian acronym Girfec (Getting It Right For Every Child), the ‘named person’ will ensure a child’s wellbeing is ‘assessed’ according to the extent to which the child is ‘safe, healthy, achieving, nurtured, active, respected, responsible and included’.

So Ms Sturgeon’s ‘named persons’ will not focus only on harm, risk or even neglect — but the entire human condition. If my child is judged to be underachieving, inactive or somehow lacking in respect or responsibility, the ‘named person’ can discuss my child not only with the NHS, a social worker or the police, but with bodies including the Scottish Sports Council and something called Skills Development Scotland Co. Ltd.

The illiberal control-freakery of this measure might have attracted more attention had it been unusual. But it is typical of the Scottish National Party in power. From policing to higher education, the SNP are archetypes of the top-down, authoritarian, one-size-fits-all school of government.

If you want to know what England would be like under Jeremy Corbyn, the answer would not be far off what the SNP is doing to Scotland. Stridently anti-austerity, the party’s populist and highly successful general election campaign pitched them as Britain’s progressive beacon. It won them 56 of Scotland’s 59 MPs. It also helped Mr Cameron’s return to Downing Street.

The SNP know more than anyone else what they want to achieve: independence. Almost all their statements are geared towards this goal. For example, the SNP say that Scots should vote for independence to save the NHS. But Holyrood has complete control over the NHS in Scotland, as it does over the whole of Scottish education. And policing, transport, environmental policy — a whole gamut of powers that has been accurately described by the UK Supreme Court as ‘ample’ and ‘generous’. Yet in the eight years in which the SNP have been in power, next to nothing has been done to reform the health service in Scotland, save that SNP ministers’ controls over Scotland’s 14 health boards have been tightened. (Their motto: When in doubt, centralise.)

This has not led to improved service. The latest figures show waiting times rising alarmingly. When the SNP came to power, Scotland spent a higher share of its budget on health than England, but under the nationalists this has been reversed. The Institute for Fiscal Studies ran the numbers last September, and found England’s health budget this year is 4.4 per cent higher than before David Cameron came to power; Scotland’s is 1.2 per cent lower. When given the choice, Ms Sturgeon has cut the NHS budget — and protected it from much-needed reform.

The same is true in education. Scottish schools and colleges are going from mediocre to poor. Numeracy scores are plummeting, 140,000 college places have been cut, colleges have merged and campuses have been closed. These are calamitous policies to have pursued in an economy crying out for a more highly skilled, better-trained workforce. The SNP’s famous ban on tuition fees means that a Scottish teenager from a poor background is now half as likely to go to university as an English one. And the gap is widening. The decision not to charge fees has been paid for in part by cutting grants for poorer students.

The rot has set in at primary schools: at the ages of nine and 11, the literacy skills of the poorest are getting worse. Nicolas Sturgeon boasts that ‘the attainment gap is reducing’ because richer children are getting worse even faster. Yes, the SNP talk non-stop about their ‘progressive’ credentials, and how the main reason they want separation from England is because they place greater emphasis on a ‘fairer’ society. But the reality is very different. Under the SNP, Scotland is becoming the worst place in Britain to be bright and poor.

On the relatively rare occasions when the SNP reform, two tendencies are striking, both exemplified in last year’s ‘named person’ legislation. The SNP’s illiberality should not, perhaps, surprise us — nationalism in Europe all too often having sacrificed individual freedoms on the altar of national self-determination. The party’s centralising tendencies, however, are remarkable given the SNP’s vocal opposition to rule from London.

Under the SNP, Scotland’s eight regional police constabularies were merged into a single force. While Theresa May was creating locally elected police and crime commissioners in England and Wales, increasing the accountability of the police to local voters, the SNP was doing the opposite. The chief constable of Police Scotland is accountable to a single police authority whose members are appointed by Scottish ministers. The one force now polices both the UK’s third-largest city and its most remote communities, notwithstanding the obvious and huge diversity of policing needs.

Recorded crime is falling the world over — and Scotland, happily, is no exception. Despite having fewer offences to investigate, however, Police Scotland manages to clear up 50,000 fewer crimes each year than the eight old constabularies did a decade ago. Basic policing mistakes that just were not made in the old days now fill the newspapers: in July a woman was left lying next to her dead boyfriend in a car in Bannockburn for three days after the crash was reported to police; she later died. A few weeks ago an elderly disabled woman died when police waited 20 hours after a call from a concerned family member before forcing entry to her home, where she lay collapsed next to her dead husband. A recent survey found that a third of Police Scotland’s staff planned to leave the force within three years: the merger, as Theresa May put it, is a case study in what not to do.

This is why it suits the SNP to talk about independence: any other conversation would be about how they have betrayed the country they purport to champion. Having lost last year’s referendum, Ms Sturgeon immediately demanded more powers for the Scottish Parliament. These are being delivered in a Scotland Bill nearing the end of its passage through the House of Commons. But while the SNP make a lot of noise about devolution to Scotland, they are silent when it comes to devolution within Scotland.

Scotland returns to the polls yet again next spring, when a new Scottish Parliament will be elected. The shell-shocked state of Scottish Labour and the Scottish Liberal Democrats means the SNP will probably do well. Increasingly, the strongest voice of opposition is that of Ruth Davidson, the leader of the Scottish Conservatives, whom I hope to serve in the next parliament. Her principles are those of the Scottish Enlightenment: that countries do best when the public stand tall and the power of government is kept in check.

SNP activists love to invoke the concept of freedom, but they support a party that brings no such thing. For those who believe in liberty, competition, diversity, localism and accountability, there is no point in voting for Ms Sturgeon. Fundamentally, her party places its trust in the state, rather than in the people. It’s an odd kind of patriotism, one which makes Scotland poorer and less free. It’s time for the rebellion to begin.

Islam in Scotland ex Wiki
Islam in Scotland
includes all aspects of the Islamic faith in Scotland. The first Muslim known to have been in Scotland was a medical student who studied at the University of Edinburgh from 1858 to 1859. The production of goods and Glasgow's busy port meant that many lascars were employed there.[1] Most Muslims in Scotland are members of families that immigrated in the later decades of the 20th century. At the 2011 census, Muslims comprised 1.4 per cent of Scotland's population (76,737).[2]

History
The first named Muslim known in Scotland was Wazir Beg from Bombay (now "Mumbai"). He is recorded as being a medical student who studied at the University of Edinburgh in 1858 and 1859.[1] Manufacturing and Glasgow's busy seaport meant that many Lascars were employed there. Dundee was at the peak of importing jute, and sailors from Bengal were also seen at its port. Records from the Glasgow Sailors' Home show that nearly a third (5,500) of the boarders in 1903 were Muslim Lascars.

However, the immigration of Muslims to Scotland is a relatively recent event. The majority of Scottish Muslims are members of families who immigrated in the late 20th century. Scotland's Muslims in 2001 represented just 0.9% of the population (42,557),[3] with 30,000 in Glasgow.[4] By 2011, the Muslim population had increased to 76,737, accounting for 1.4% of Scotland's population.[5]

Demographics
Muslims in Scotland are an ethnically diverse population. Although a majority of Muslims are of Pakistani (58%) origin, 9.8% are Arab, 7.8% are White European and 7% are Black. Glasgow has the highest Muslim population of any city in Scotland with 5% of residents identifying as Muslim in the 2011 census. Pollokshields and Southside Central are the wards with the highest concentration of Muslim residents – 27.8% and 15.7% respectively. 37.3% of Muslim in Scotland were born in Scotland, with another 7.3% born elsewhere in the United Kingdom.[2]

Identity
According to information from the 2011 Scottish census, 71% of Muslims in Scotland consider their only national identity to be Scottish or British (or any combination of UK identities). The census concluded "Muslims have a strong sense of belonging to Scotland in particular and the UK more generally [ at the dole office in particular? ]."

Education and Employment
In 2011, 37.5% of Scottish Muslims held degree level qualifications compared to the Scotland average of 27.1%. 21.4% of Muslims in Scotland had no qualifications, slightly lower than the 22.9% average for Scotland. Only 4.5% of Muslims in Scotland had poor English language skills.[2]

Muslims in Scotland in 2011 were less likely to be employed full time (31%) than the general population (51%). Contributing factors for this include Muslims being more likely to be students (19%) than the general population (6%), and 25% of Muslim women 'looking after the home or family', in comparison to 5.6% of women from the overall population.[2] 8.7% of Scottish Muslims were unemployed, whereas 6.3% of the general population were unemployed.[2] Approximately a third of Scottish Muslims working full-time are self employed, compared with 12% of the general population.[6]

 

Islamic lobbying group with links to SNP faces closure
QUOTE
A CONTROVERSIAL Islamic lobbying group with close links to the SNP leadership is being wound up after spending £200,000 of taxpayers' money with almost nothing to show for it [ apart from richer Pakistanis ].

The Scottish Islamic Foundation (SIF), which was launched by Alex Salmond and includes an SNP minister among its former directors, is in "pre-dissolution" and six months late in filing its annual accounts at Companies House.

All but one of its board members have resigned, and its phone line and website are offline.

Launched in July 2008, the group was intended to improve community relations, raise awareness of the Muslim faith and help its young leaders.

However, it was dogged by claims of cronyism because of its many ties to the SNP.

Its first chief executive, Osama Saeed, 32, was a former aide to Mr Salmond and an SNP candidate for the Westminster seat of Glasgow Central.

Despite lacking a track record, SIF was awarded £405,000 in grants from the SNP Government within months of its creation. SIF then over-promised by announcing it would hold the country's biggest ever celebration of Islamic Culture in Glasgow in June 2009.

Mr Salmond predicted IslamFest would be "an enormous event for Glasgow and for Scotland". However, the project collapsed and SIF was forced to repay £128,000, after £72,000 had been spent on development.

SIF turned its attention to holding an Islamic financial event called Etisal, scheduled for November 2009, but that too fell through. Ultimately, half the £400,000 grant was withheld.

Glasgow list MSP Humza Yousaf, 27, was a director of SIF Ltd from May 2008 to September 2009. He was made Minister for External Affairs and International Development last month. He said: "People always criticise organisations. Some of that criticism will be fair, some misplaced."

Labour MSP Paul Martin said: "All public money must be spent wisely and the collapse of this organisation which has left little or no impact for the Scottish Muslim community raises questions about the involvement of SNP members."

A Scottish Government spokeswoman said: "During the financial years 2007-08 to 2010-11, we approved total funding of £405,752 to SIF.

"Due to SIF's failure to deliver its agreed outcomes during this period, £202,460 was withheld. This resulted in grant payments totalling £203,292 being made. The funding resulted in a series of events to help tackle Islamophobia in March and April 2010."

Past SIF directors did not return calls.

Bribes? If it walks like duck, quacks like a duck, tastes like a duck it might well be a duck. Stolen? You just might wonder. Ask  Osama Saeed; he knows.

 

Osama Saeed ex Wiki
Osama Saeed
(born 27 May 1980) is a Scottish communications professional. Formerly he was Head of Media and Public Relations at Al Jazeera Media Network, and was a parliamentary candidate for the Scottish National Party in Glasgow Central in 2010.

Background
Saeed was born and brought up in Glasgow and went to school in Bishopbriggs.[1] He was an advisor to former Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond and a prominent media figure. He has been listed as one of Scotland's Top 100 thinkers and opinion formers by the Scotsman newspaper, one of the country's "Brightest and Best" by the Sunday Herald, and has been described as "Scotland's most influential Muslim" by the Sunday Times. The Evening Times referred to him in 2010 as one of the SNP's "bright rising stars".[2] His blog, "Rolled up Trousers" was named top Scottish political blog in 2007.[3] He is also an alumnus of the US State Department's International Visitor Leadership Program. After an attempt to be elected to the House of Commons in 2010, Saeed joined Al Jazeera in Qatar.

Al Jazeera career
Saeed manages Al Jazeera's global communications,[4] and his tenure has seen the network's strongest period of worldwide publicity. He was responsible for promoting the network's coverage of the Arab uprisings which won global plaudits, and culminated in awards including Royal Television Society News Channel of the Year and a Peabody. That year, Al Jazeera English also won a DuPont, a George Polk, and a Four Freedoms Award.

He coordinated the noted freeajstaff press freedom campaign after Al Jazeera journalists were jailed in Egypt, a campaign which won an award in issues management.[5][6] He has organised brand campaigns around the world - including in the United States, Australia, India, MENA and sub-Saharan Africa[7] - and is a speaker at international PR conferences.[8][9]

Views and activities
After the 2007 Glasgow International Airport attack, Saeed organised what is considered to be the first ever Muslim-organised demonstration against Al-Qaeda terrorism in the world.[10] In March 2008, he called for legislation to be enacted against forced marriages,.[11] The Scottish Government announced a consultation on the issue a few months later, and law was passed in 2011.

In 2009, Saeed organised the response[12] to the [ allegedly ] far-right Scottish Defence League holding protests in Glasgow and Edinburgh. Along with lawyer Aamer Anwar, he brought together a broad coalition called Scotland United to stage a celebration of multiculturalism including the STUC, Church of Scotland, Equality and Human Rights Commission, all the major political parties and many others.[13] He also organised a response to the attack by two Muslims youths on an Edinburgh synagogue by offering to protect the building.[14]

Osama had a role in the Stop the War Coalition, speaking at the anti-war demonstration on the eve of the Iraq war on 15 February 2003 which drew 1 million marchers. He was formerly a volunteer spokesman for the Muslim Association of Britain in Scotland, and before Anwar Al-Awlaki openly embraced terrorism, he called for his release from incarceration in Yemen.[15] Years before the Arab uprisings, Saeed was a proponent of democracy and freedoms in the Muslim world.[16] He wrote a 2005 article in The Guardian suggesting that the restoration of a caliphate[17] could be based on democracy and human rights in response to comments by prime minister Tony Blair saying that it was the preserve of Al Qaeda. In 2009, Saeed said that Islamism was “irrelevant”, and that laws and public policy have to be made by leaders accountable to the people they govern.[18]

Saeed founded the Scottish-Islamic Foundation which was launched with cross-parliamentary backing in June 2008. The leaders of the SNP, Liberal Democrat and Conservative parties gave their support.[19]

Saeed's time at the Scottish-Islamic Foundation was dogged by allegations of cronyism after the organisation was awarded hundreds of thousands of pounds of grants by the SNP Government, the party for whom he was a parliamentary candidate. The funding was investigated by Audit Scotland who concluded that the appropriate procedures were followed in allocating the grant.[20] The grant was provided to organise an Islamic cultural festival and a trade expo to attract investment from the Muslim world. Saeed suggested that Scotland hold a 'Tartan Week' in the Middle East to increase trade and investment.[21] After delays in delivery, the SIF returned much of the funding, but organised Salaam Scotland, Scotland's first national festival of Muslim cultures.[22] An independent auditor's report found no issues in the way Scottish Government grant money was accounted for.[23] Saeed resigned from the SIF in February 2010 before contesting the General Election in May 2010. The SIF closed in January 2011.[24]

In the 2010 General Election he stood as the SNP candidate for Glasgow Central. He finished in second place, improving the party's third place from the previous election and increasing their share of the vote by 2.7%.[25] His campaign concentrated on opposing public spending cuts proposed by the Conservative and Labour parties,[26] connecting Scotland to the high-speed rail network to London and Europe,[27] and attracted high profile endorsements.[28][29][30] First Minister Alex Salmond said of Saeed: "I don't think I've ever met anyone better suited to face down the rigours of Westminster and to make a presentation of principle for his community and for his country. I've never met anyone better endowed with the qualities required to be an outstanding member of parliament."

SNP Is Anti Nationalist & Anti- Scotland
QUOTE
The European Parliament has 751 members; only six of these represent Scotland.

In contrast, the UK Parliament has a considerable Scottish presence, has at times been led by Scottish members, and Scotsmen have over the decades, held all the key cabinet positions.

Since the Act of Union in 1707, we have as the United Kingdom ignited the industrial revolution, defeated hostile enemies, and built the greatest empire in the history of the world.

• Canada in the early 1800s: the North West Company and the Hudson’s Bay Company were both trade firms operated mostly by Scotsmen. These are all things we should remember, be proud of, and celebrate.

Despite all this, the Scottish Nationalist Party (SNP) believes that the European Union better represents the interests of Scotland than any UK government ever could. So, the SNP plans to leave one union and join another union.

This is because the SNP politicians and hierarchy are not nationalists at all; indeed, independence is only useful insofar as it can push Scotland further into multiculturalism and ultra-PC authoritarianism – that is, at a slightly faster than the rest of the UK.

Evidence of this can be seen in the original SNP plans for the Named Person’s scheme, published a few years ago, which is aimed at making sure parents are adhering to the SNP’s state-approved agenda. For example, the scheme proposed that an appointed person (a social worker or teacher) would monitor whether a child was able to have a say in home décor, or was being kept away from fire.

(This incredible document can be viewed here, and it is also very much a case of spot the white man).

But as Migration Watch reported, given the opportunity, the SNP would love to “liberalise immigration control across each of the four major migration routes – work, family, student and asylum”.

Easier access to Scotland would become a back door to England. Once in the UK, immigrants can go where they wish.

Such an outcome would be extremely unpopular in England but also in Scotland, where only 5% want to see an increase in immigration and 64% want a reduction.

About half of the famous East India Company was made up of Scots in the 1750s. Scotland is famed and rightly proud of its heritage for ingenuity and intellect.

But how can this identity be preserved if the people who built it are systematically replaced?

It is clear that only the British National Party Party can help preserve Scottish identity, and the British way of life, through a strong and sensible migration policy across the UK.

Scottish Politics Explained
Power waxes, power wanes

The Celtic-Rangers football rivalry arguably reflects Scotland’s core fault line. On the one hand there’s the Protestant Scots natives, on the other those of Irish extraction, overwhelmingly Catholic. Of course not all Scots fall into one category or the other but the historical differences still infuse social interactions throughout the country, especially in the highly populated Glasgow/Edinburgh central region. To a considerable degree this bifurcation carries through into the country’s other great divider: The Scottish Independence movement. On this issue you’ll find the hardline Protestant Rangers supporter remains loyal to the Crown, thus opposing independence, a position which explains why the (largely but by no means exclusively) Catholic Celtic follower supports independence.

For close to one and a half centuries the religious and cultural differences embodied in the Celtic-Rangers/blue-green conflict (and its smaller scale versions in Edinburgh and Dundee) have poisoned the political and social life of the country, with serious violence requiring but a spark for ignition, said spark regularly provided by a Celtic-Rangers derby match. The ensuing violence can be severe although never as lethal as its equivalent bifurcation in Northern Ireland, driven by the same cultural/religious imperatives . Despite having attended many such matches at the green end I’m making no judgements on right or wrong on this issue. As far as I’m concerned the black Protestant bastards are entitled to wallow in their bigotry. [To the perpetually outraged out there, this is what’s known as a “joke”]

Although open borders professionalism means the teams no longer reflect their fan-base the rivalry retains its intensity. The country (and a millions-strong TV audience world-wide) almost comes to a standstill when the teams meet. Little wonder then that politicians step into this religious/cultural minefield with the greatest trepidation. Unless you’re Humza Yousaf, the Pakistani Muslim who controls Scotland’s internal affairs. This week he professed himself to be ‘minded’ to cancel tomorrow’s clash at Celtic Park due to the risk of misbehaviour by Rangers supporters, notwithstanding the fact that they’ve been happily misbehaving for more than a century, leaving a trail of devastation behind them wherever they go. Humza’s unprecedented intervention could be classed as an act of cultural insensitivity and/or one of unbridled arrogance. In fact it was probably a bit of both. After all this is the guy who berated the Scottish Parliament for having too many Scots, an act of effrontery which elicited swoons of admiration from the country’s chattering classes. So why would he not ride roughshod over its people and their traditions?

Long after the blue-green football rivalry had taken hold people like Humza, back in their homeland, were still ruled by a mere handful of British bureaucrats (one of whom was Michael O'Dwyer, a farmer’s son from Tipperary, distinctly ‘green’ ethnically, who nonetheless held the position of Lieutenant Governor of the Punjab). Yet now those subjects have abandoned the squalor of their home countries and followed their erstwhile rulers back to Britain with the aim of pillaging an inheritance to which they have no entitlement. And they’re succeeding beyond their most fevered imaginings.

A few weeks ago I read somewhere about a major decision being made by the British Government (can’t remember which one). What struck me was the statement “the decision will come down to three people: Boris Johnson, Priti Patel and Rishi Sunak”. So this all-powerful trio, determining Britain’s future, contains two Indian Hindus. Any actual Brits capable of filling those positions? And this week an Irish newspaper trilled that ‘exactly one year ago [Irish Prime Minister] Leo Varadker ordered the country closed down due to the Covid crisis’. Varadker’s father is another Indian Hindu. I’m sure Michael O’Dwyer is turning in his grave.

That’s what I’m getting at with my headline. Third World immigrants now hold sway over much of the British political system. While their countries of origin remain unable to rise above their traditional violence, poverty and squalor.

Amazing, isn’t it?

Or is it? Is that a sinister laugh I hear from behind the curtain?

That is what Nigel Farage says. Nige is right. Of course the Tories & Labour are also Racists of the anti-English sort. The difference is that the big parties are in a position to destroy England & are doing just that. The Scottish National Party merely wants to be able to.

Sturgeon Wants 'Progressive' Alliance With Labour To Attack Tories And Brexit [ 22 April 2017 ]
QUOTE
NICOLA STURGEON will seek to join forces with Labour and the Liberal Democrats to keep out the Conservatives, she said today. On a visit to her Westminster MPs in Parliament today, the First Minister confirmed that she wants to jump into bed with other left-wing parties in the case of another hung parliament.

She said this morning: “If the Parliamentary arithmetic lends itself to the SNP being part of a progressive alliance to keep the Tories out of Government then the SNP will seek to be part of that as we said in 2015.”...........

“Now we are not sure that there are many people who think Labour will be in a position on their own or with anyone else to form a Government,” Ms Sturgeon said today. “There will be many people across England who will see that as a matter for regret.”

Sturgeon is a trouble maker full of hate, one who wants power and tyranny. NB Progressivism is a code word for Marxism.

 

Scottish National Party Fingers In The Till - £87,000 Goes Walkies [ 27 March 2016 ]
QUOTE
A Scottish Nationalist MP is at the centre of an expenses row after a fellow party politician paid her company £87,616 of taxpayers’ money from his parliamentary expense account. Chic Brodie, the SNP Scottish Parliament member for South of Scotland, handed the sum to start-up company Caledonii Resources, which is 90 per cent owned by Corri Wilson, SNP MP for Ayr.

Mr Brodie said last night he paid Ms Wilson as “outsourced contract staff” to do constituency casework and arrange meetings for him. However, Ms Wilson described herself in Companies House filings as “unemployed (ex-civil service)” for the entire period when the payments were made. The amounts paid were up to 85 per cent higher than those allowed for staff by the Westminster parliamentary expenses watchdog, Ipsa.

Scots Vote Against Sturgeon [ 6 May 2017 ]
QUOTE
The Conservatives have surged to historic gains in Scotland as Nicola Sturgeon's gamble on a second independence referendum backfired.

Theresa May saw her candidates gain more than 160 seats north of the border - including areas such as Glasgow and North Lanarkshire where the Tories have not been competitive for decades. This brought their total up to a staggering 276 seats - over a dozen more than Labour..........

Meanwhile, Miss Sturgeon attempted to put a brave face on the situation, defying evidence of dipping popularity to insist the SNP was 'holding firm'.
UNQUOTE
Sturgeon said; Bring it on. Her bluff was called. Whoops. The Scots are fed up with her but then she is a nasty little trouble maker trying to use Brexit to leverage Theresa May into another referendum in Scotland.

 

Sturgeon Losing Leverage With Brexit Achieved       
After this day, B Day, Brexit on 31 January 2020 the SNP get power over fishing. Will she give it back to light fingered parasites in Brussels? It would play rather badly among Jocks.
QUOTE
Nicola Sturgeon is panicking. She knows time is running out on her independence dream 30 January 2020 • 4:43pm It should worry Nicola Sturgeon that people were more interested in whether Holyrood flies the EU flag than in the vote for a second independence referendum

The law of diminishing returns applies to politics as to any other subject, and the media coverage of yesterday’s proceedings in the Scottish Parliament confirms this assertion.

Two items of business on the Holyrood agenda piqued the interest of reporters: a vote in support of holding a second independence referendum, and a debate on whether the EU flag should continue to fly outside the parliament building after we leave the European Union. Neither of these decisions was particularly significant, in that they don’t change anything or contribute to the lives of ordinary Scots in any way at all. But SNP leaders might be a touch concerned that the fight over the flag generated more interest and coverage.

It has become widely accepted that there isn’t going to be a legally-binding, internationally-recognised referendum on separation either this year or next, and plenty of observers, not least UK Government ministers, doubt if one will happen during this decade. And yet the First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon, gives the impression that she is one of the few people on the planet not to have worked this out. There she was, rehearsing all the old arguments that have signally failed to deliver independence in the last 30 years, telling her impatient troops that her promise of a referendum will, despite all the facts and evidence, be delivered by year’s end.

One could even conclude that behind those steely, determined eyes was a hint of panic. This might seem a far-fetched suggestion. After all, despite an increasing amount of evidence suggesting that the SNP government is failing to deliver on the core services of health and education, opinion polls continue to show a healthy nationalist lead over all the other parties. It’s not that Scots no longer care about failing schools or hospitals, it’s just that a large proportion of them (45 per cent) think that achieving independence is more important.

So why might there now be a sense of urgency in Sturgeon’s demands for a referendum? Just a few years ago, her aides were assuring the media that she would not press for another “once in a lifetime” referendum until the polls showed comfortable 60 per cent support for breaking up the United Kingdom. Not only are we far from that point, but support for independence has barely increased since September 2014.

So why the hurry?

Part of the reason, as I have suggested elsewhere, is that campaigning for independence is a central part of her job and if Sturgeon didn’t regularly demand a referendum, she would be replaced as leader of the SNP. The justification for demanding a rerun plebiscite is less important than the imperative of demanding one.

But the timing is just as – perhaps even more – crucial. With Brexit will come a swathe of new powers for the Scottish Parliament in areas that are already devolved: fishing, agriculture and the environment, for example – powers that have, until now, been wielded by Brussels. SNP strategy has so far been to deny that Scotland will derive any benefit at all from our departure from the European Union; when the prospect of Westminster temporarily holding on to some repatriated powers until a UK-wide regulation regime could be devised, nationalists started using the term “power grab” in order to give the impression that Scotland was being betrayed by the evil Brexit-loving Tories.

But new powers are heading in Holyrood’s direction anyway – a lot of new powers and responsibilities. Scottish ministers also fear that Boris Johnson will keep his promise to fishing communities and negotiate an end to Britain’s participation in the hated Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) by the end of this year. This would indeed be a cause for panic: how could the SNP demand independence and joining the EU when it would mean taking the Scottish fishing industry back into the CFP? In any future independence referendum, how would SNP ministers explain their preference for fishing and agriculture to be run from Brussels rather than from Edinburgh?

All of this means that the longer a second referendum is delayed, the more uphill will be the task of persuading Scots that they’re better off with Europe than with the rest of the UK.

So far the opposition parties at Holyrood are proving reluctant to mention any of this for fear they will be painted as too pro-Brexit. But after tomorrow night, the reality of our post-EU status will no longer be a matter of preference or opinion, and they might finally find the strength to challenge the SNP over their contradictory approach to devolution.

Meanwhile, much of the coverage of yesterday’s proceedings was the journalistic equivalent to a shrug of the shoulders: “This again? Oh, you guys…” The story about whether or not to fly a flag representing 27 foreign countries was much more interesting. That alone should worry Nicola Sturgeon.

First Minister Of Scotland On Trial Facing 14 Sex Charges  [ 12 March 2020 ]
QUOTE
The former First Minister of Scotland, Alex Salmond, enters his second day in court today, after a busy first day hearing 14 charges put to him.

The full list of charges includes:.............
• June 2014: Attempted rape of woman H at Bute House
He denies them all…
Yesterday the court heard one former Scottish government official claim Salmond “full-on pounced” on her, stripped off her clothes and pushing her onto a bed within his official Bute House residence after a dinner. The former official described the experience as an attempted rape. The trial is expected to run for four weeks, up until the first week of April…

A Street-Shitter Laments Too Many Scots In Scotland [ 6 July 2020 ]
QUOTE
One of the most famous lines from Robbie Burns, Scotland's greatest poet in the (kind of) English language goes thus: “O wad some Power the giftie gie us, to see ourselves as ithers see us!" Or,  "Oh would some Power the gift give us, to see ourselves as others see us.”  Well Scotland had this wish granted by one Humza Yousaf, the SNP's spokesman on Justice. And he's not happy with his adopted land despite - cue toe-curling embarrassment - occasionally decking himself out in a kilt or a Glasgow Celtic shirt. In a recent speech to Parliament he went through a list of Scotland's most powerful personages and after each one venomously spat out the word 'White!'.  He ended the tirade by directly addressing the people who elected him “As people of colour, we don’t need your gestures. Don’t just tweet Black Lives Matter. Don’t just post a hashtag. Don’t just take the knee. Don’t just tell us how you’re not a racist – I take that as a bare minimum. You must be anti-racist.” 

So now you know. Mind you he's doing ok despite that. He's been a Minister or spokesman for the SNP since he was in his mid-twenties despite his time as an apprentice mechanic being the highlight of his career up to then. But Scotland must do more. He sees his appointed roles as providing a platform to berate his unappreciative hosts. Mastering his brief straggles far behind............

Now if I were a rude person I'd encourage this ungrateful interloper to find a nice brown country to fuck off to. But I'm not a rude person. And there are no nice brown countries. Take the Indian sub-continent whence Yousef and Ireland's erstwhile PM Varadkar (who also thinks there are too many Irish in Ireland) emerged. Here you have more than a billion people shitting on the ground, turds everywhere you step, rivers filled with raw sewage interspersed with bathing humans, millions dying of starvation and disease every year, dead bodies floating in rivers while mangy dogs feast on corpses...........

A couple of final observations. The acronym SNP stands for Scottish National Party. You know, the one that wants independence for Scotland, no more of these damn foreigners telling them how to run things. And they parachute this guy into a top position. Same with Ireland's Sinn Fein Party - aka as the IRA's political wing. Sinn Fein means 'ourselves only' in English. Yet their enthusiasm to get Brits out is exceeded only by a corresponding enthusiasm to flood Ireland with unlimited hordes of Third World parasites.
UNQUOTE
Nicola Sturgeon, the leader of the Scottish National Party is a foul tempered harridan. The Wiki tells us that she went into politics because she hated Maggie Thatcher. I believe it. You might think the Scottish National Party is in some way Nationalist; it isn't, she isn't. Is she a Marxist or just a Hard Left apparatchik lusting after power? But Jocks vote for her presumably. Why? God knows, I don't.

 

Shetland Islands Want Independence From A Marxist Ratbag  [ 12 September 2020 ]
QUOTE
Councillors in the Shetland Islands have voted overwhelmingly to pursue ways of gaining independence from Scotland, giving Indy Ref-backing First Minister Nicola Sturgeon the dilemma of how to keep her [ sic ] country together while fighting to split the UK apart.

Islanders want to investigate the possibility of being governed as a Crown Dependency, such as Jersey, rather than setting themselves up as an independent nation.

But that would still mean they would keep the revenues from oil in their waters - dealing a blow to the finances of a would-be independent Scotland. 

In a debate lasting more than an hour, members argued decision-making has become increasingly centralised and public funding for the islands has been cut under the SNP Government. 

Councillors voted 18 to two in favour of a motion to formally explore options 'for achieving financial and political self-determination'.

Marxist politicians are greed driven at least as much as Tories. Their excuses for taxing the downtrodden peasant masses are different; they are trying to help the losers, the victims allegedly.

 

Fat Scotch Politician Charged With Sexual Harassment - Holyrood Censors Evidence  [ 24 February 2021 ]

Alex Salmond has cancelled his appearance at the inquiry into the Scottish Government's botched handling of sex assault claims against him after Holyrood redacted the most damning [ exciting/amusing/worthwhile/entertaining/whatever ] parts of his already-published evidence against First Minister Nicola Sturgeon. 

Scotland's former First Minister had been expected to give evidence tomorrow about the investigation and face questions about his claims that Ms Sturgeon misled parliament and breached the ministerial code.

However, prosecutors had asked for portions of Mr Salmond's testimony to be redacted because of unspecified 'grave concerns' - and in an extraordinary step today key paragraphs from his written statement were removed............

Mr Salmond, who was later acquitted of 13 charges of sexual assault in a criminal trial, was awarded a £512,250 payout after he successfully challenged the lawfulness of the government investigation.

Nicola Sturgeon Denies Stealing £600 Thousand From The SNP  [ 23 July 2021 ]
QUOTE
Police Scotland have opened an investigation after complaints were made around donations to the SNP.

It follows allegations that £600,000 raised for campaigning towards Scottish independence was diverted elsewhere.

Nicola Sturgeon has previously denied any money has gone missing, saying the party’s finances have been independently audited. Two SNP MPs quit the ruling National Executive Committee (NEC) in May, citing a lack of transparency from the party. At that point, Police Scotland said they were assessing a fraud allegation relating to £600,000 of funds “to determine if an investigation is required”.

Scottish National Party Mismanagment
QUOTE
WE may be short of lorry drivers and even have pubs fearing a shortage of beer, but the one thing Scotland has in never-ending supply is SNP scandals. The latest is the recurring scandal of the ferries.

Scotland has 89 inhabited offshore islands. This would make the construction and maintenance of a fleet of ferries a reasonable priority for the Scottish administration. Unfortunately the administration of Scotland has been in the hands of the anti-business SNP for the last 14 years. Now that they have been joined by the Greens there is little chance of a turnaround.

Almost one in five sailings on one of Scotland’s busiest routes were disrupted this year, that is three times the cancellations of 2017. On the Arran to Ardrossan crossing alone the constant failures of Caledonian MacBrayne (Calmac), which runs most of the publicly subsidised ferry routes in Scotland, have robbed the island economy of an estimated £7.8million. 

As a result Arran’s tourist business has been plunged into crisis, recruitment has been damaged and community morale crushed. Business owners whose livelihoods are being strangled condemn the ‘complete shambles’ presided over by the SNP. Linda Johnston, co-founder of Brodick’s Auchrannie resort, Arran’s largest private employer, said soaring cancellations are accelerating depopulation. This in a country where we are warned that rural communities could vanish within a decade if they fail to attract working-age migrants.......................

FMEL announced in August 2019 that it was heading for administration.  During the following negotiations the SNP administration refused to budge in their demands. FMEL executives lodged complaints just before the firm went under, saying ministers were not serious about keeping it afloat and were keeping them out of vital discussions. A clause had been inserted in a previous loan that in the event of receivership the Scottish administration could buy the shipyard for £1. Which they duly did.

Confidential documents revealed by the Herald show that the SNP knew FMEL was in serious financial trouble more than two years before it fell into insolvency. Ferguson’s former management have accused the SNP of creating a secret path to nationalisation in order to take over the yard..............

The administration-controlled CMAL originally sought to award a contract estimated at over £50million for a ferry to serve the Islay route, one of the busiest for freight on the Clyde and Hebrides network. This was increased to a contract worth over £100million for two ferries. The four companies shortlisted to bid for the new contract are all foreign: Damen Shipyard in Romania, Remontowa Shipbuilding in Poland, and Turkish shipyards Sefine Denizcilik Tersanecilik Turizm and Cemre Marin Endustri.

Notably absent from the shortlist is FMEL, the shipbuilding company brought into public ownership by the SNP. The nationalised shipbuilder said it was ‘a disappointing outcome’.

Meanwhile, Tim Hair, the SNP-appointed director with responsibility for turning the now state-owned company around, has been paid nearly £1.3million for 454 days work. This equates to £2,783 a day, making him one of the UK’s highest-earning public servants. But then the SNP administration has never been slow to spend public money.

Scottish National Party Looks After Its Little Mates  [ 7 December 2021 ]
QUOTE
NICOLA STURGEON is under pressure to explain why the vast majority of recent SNP Government spending on private sector consultants has gone to just one firm.

Figures released in light of a Freedom of Information request show that Holyrood spent £25million on large consultants between the 2017 and 2021 fiscal years. Just shy of two-thirds of this money (£16million) was handed to Deloitte. Scottish Government spending on costly consultants has been on the up in recent years, costing the taxpayer millions of pounds.

Officials from across the political spectrum have insisted that the high spending raises “series questions”. Scottish Labour’s finance spokesperson, Daniel Johnson, said an “eye-watering” amount of money was being spent on consultancy firms.

He said: “Serious questions need to be asked about whether this is an appropriate use of public money.

SNP On The Skids Because It Is Marketing A Pakistani  [ 20 March 2023 ]
QUOTE
The SNP sensationally imploded last night after party chief executive Peter Murrell was forced to quit just weeks after his wife, Nicola Sturgeon, announced her shock resignation as First Minister.

The downfall of Scotland's foremost political power couple followed revelations in The Mail on Sunday that the SNP had lied about its true membership numbers ahead of the leadership race.

Critics feared the bogus numbers were being used by the SNP 'party machine' to inflate support for Humza Yousaf, seen as the establishment's preferred candidate to take over as First Minister.

Yesterday, in a statement announcing his immediate resignation, Mr Murrell admitted he was responsible for the 'misleading' claims about membership figures – which the party had repeatedly said stood at around 100,000, but were actually around 72,000.

His bombshell departure comes amid a continuing police probe into how independence campaign donations have been handled and questions over why he made a personal donation of £107,000 to the party amid a cash crisis.

Humza Yousaf A Man With No Principles  [ 29 March 2023 ]
QUOTE
BIG day for the plucky SNP, fifty thousand of whom voted to elect Humza Yousaf as their leader.

Yousaf squeezed past Kate Forbes in the race. She had a lot to overcome and didn’t quite make it. She is, after all, a young white woman, a wife and mother whose social views expressed during the hustings were described by Professor John Curtice as failing to understand the public sensibility on issues such as same-sex marriage. Mrs Forbes is a Christian who waited until being married to have a child; she goes to church on a Sunday – a woman demonstrably adrift from the norms of ‘our’ secular society. She even missed the vote on gender affirmation while on maternity leave.   

What can we say about Yousaf? A man of no principles – yes, that would be about right. A Muslim, who missed the vote on gay marriage for fear of his community’s displeasure but now fervently supports the legal right of men to change their gender with/without encumbrance (pun intended). Yousaf is sworn to challenge the UK government’s ‘undemocratic’ decision to block such legislation yet claims he will be a voice for all the people. He will lead us all through green pastures to the sunny uplands of a new independent utopia...........

Yousaf has said not a peep about the shady finances of the SNP or the questionable antics of his erstwhile patron and her husband. He has been very animated, though, about the deplorable number of White People in positions of authority, his disgust palpable. You can bet your life that he will get right on to fixing that........  

How are the Scots so diminished that this is the best we have? I fear we are lost.
