Wings Over Scotland

Glorious Saturday morning – Chris is back.Hallelujah, you have been badly missed Sir.

However, if I can give free reign to my inner sub-editor, while admitting you are allowed a spot of “poetic licence” – I doubt if even The Hootsmon would, as your cartoon suggests, put a “SAlmond Sues Sturgeon” headline on the back page. Graham Bean and his Sports Desk team would come up with something snappier.

Welcome back, Chris! I hope you’re feeling much better. How long are you taking off for Christmas?

Excellent return, Chris. My husband has just pointed out that it is too frosty to allow golfers on the greens just now!

You are a very good artist – the woman’s clothes, bag etc are completely “real”.

Brilliant!

Loving your work Mr Cairns!

(Hope you’re in rude health)

Welcome back Chris, very good toon, enjoyed that.

The man in the tight jaicket is keeping his thoughts to himself but the back-to-back pose sort of gives them away. Brilliant.

I would’ve said that Salmond offered the hand of if not friendship, then alliance for independence awhile back to Sturgeon, who instantly rejected it, as has Yousaf.

Now of course Salmond has realised that there’s no route to indy via this SNP, and is taking the appropriate measures.

Willie 11:36

These allegedly philandering MSPs.

Either of them test positive for Covid, then jump on a train to travel most of the length of the UK, like Ferrier did?

Can you see how the cases differ, or do you need Mr Cairns to draw a cartoon for you?

I’ll name them. Our false minister. Humza Yousaf. And Anum Quasir his Saturday girl.

I wonder if Nadia will be changing the locks of Bute House in time for Humza arriving back from his jolly up. With Mhairi MaCallan and Sally Donald.

Humza’s Angels.

Oh Nadia. Once a cheat. Always a cheat.

To think after the oreal poor Nadia has been through. Sick with worry about her parents lives Gaza…

Humza should be there with comforting arm.

Instead. He’s in Dubai with his Saturday girl Anum Quasir who’s riding her way to the top.

Sorry darling. I’m needed in Dubai. Myself, Anum Quasir and Sally Donald are off to keep the British End up!

I hope she throws the Koran at him and packs his stuff into black bin bags. If she doesn’t.

Scotland will. Resign Humza. You dirty rat.

Most definitely Karma. And no Korma. From the wife and the children on return.

Ex first Minister. And Ex Husband.

Sturgeon not handing over the deleted whatsapp messages to the covid inquiry.

These people have been shagging their way through lockdown when people were separated.

Humza Yousaf. Spreading Covid. And Not love.

DIVORCE PAPERS AND P45 IN ENVELOPE.

But if you love him, you’ll forgive him
Even though he’s hard to understand, mm, mm

And if you love him, oh, be proud of him

‘Cause after all, he’s just a man’

Hopefully Luke Warm Dave has some roasters to share over this scandal.

Humza caught with his pants down and his toad in a hole.

Well soon find out Sven. When the Sunday newspapers publish the text messages from the ex husband.

Ruth Davidson wants to reveal all. She can’t wait to speak the truth. That we all know to be true.

And if so. Must resign like the abused and battered Margaret Ferrier, and Matt Handcock.

Caught with his pants down.

Mike Russell! Is that cretin still living. Land Reform Ha Ha Ha Ha FFS. what a plonker.

Excellent cartoon.

Is it me or does China only send out pandas that are very unlikely to breed

Perhaps Pandas only like Chinese speaking keepers:-)

BBC reporting that COP28 hosts, the UAE, intend to massively ramp up their own oil production over the years up to 2030.

Seemingly the UAE has noticed that demand for fossil fuels won’t go away overnight. In fact, peak world oil & gas demand has not yet been reached. And to make things worse, some daft wee virtue-signalling producers, fraudulently lead by imposters, want to accelerate shutting down their own fields, which means the reality-dwelling sensible countries have to up their production to compensate.

And build bigger banks to store their sovereign wealth.

Any chance HY, when not engaged with his “leisure time pursuits”, may have taken in some lessons on how to put his adopted country, nation and people first? After all, it’s us paying for his wee jaunt, so shouldn’t we get something out of it besides higher prices and hypothermia?

@ David Hannah at 12.12 and thereafter

You do know that Nadia is also a cheat, don’t you? That she and Humza were both married to other people when they began their relationship? That her first husband and father of her older child wasn’t very happy about it?

Geri…

Another example of “White Flight” from England into Scotland…

Thousands homeless in Scotland many are children, we’re in the midst of a housing crisis and a cost of living crisis, you’ll find it neigh impossible to get a dentist appointment, well an NHS one anyway, our hospitals are bursting at the seams due to pressure, you’ve not to attend A&E unless you have a heart attack or a stroke.

Many folk in Scotland are struggling to make ends meet, poverty being a widespread issue, and many folk cannot afford to heat their homes in a country teeming with energy sources, yet we have our FM and the previous FM pledging to give money to other countries.

“HUMZA Yousaf has announced a further £2 million in funding for loss and damage caused by climate change in marginalised communities at COP28.

The Scottish Government has already set aside £7m for the cause over the past two years.

The First Minister, who is currently at the climate summit in Dubai, has now set out £1m for C40 Cities to come from Scotland’s Climate Justice Fund, while a further £1m will be donated, in partnership with charity Give Directly, to support communities in Malawi dealing with the impacts of climate change.

At COP26 in Glasgow two years ago, then-first minister Nicola Sturgeon was given an award after Scotland doubled its commitment to a loss and damage fund to £2m, becoming the first developed nation to do so. Ahead of COP27, a further £5m investment was announced.”

Mind you the SNP government had already pledged to give a whopping £65 million quid to the mob with the blue and yellow flag.

Our colonial administration is frittering away our cash and selling off our assets on the cheap.

So no rumpy for the pandas but plenty elsewhere in Embra – allegedly. And it’s been known about for sometime – allegedly. It comes to light now when things are looking bad for Johnson and Hancock.

Cracking script – I wonder who wrote it.

Where’s the housing for Scots.

£2 million.

He’s already given £24 million away.

Fucking low life piece of shit. Africa first cunt.

Y’know, Ash Regan might just have that ruthless streak that I said was missing from indy politicians in Scotland, Salmond/Alba could do worse than to appoint her as his successor come the day he stands down, if he (Salmond) fails to attain independence.

“THE Alba Party will stand in at least 12 seats at the next General Election.

The party’s previous calls for pro-independence parties to stand on a Scotland United ballot failed to garner support from both the SNP and the Scottish Greens.

Now, Alex Salmond has said Alba will make a widespread intervention at the General Election in order to ensure Scots have the opportunity “to vote for independence at the ballot box”.

At a meeting of Alba’s National Council on Saturday, it was agreed that plans would commence to stand candidates in a minimum of 12 constituencies.”

“Alba Party now are Scotland’s independence party. Therefore our National Council have agreed that we will commence preparations for a wide scale intervention of at least 12 candidates across Scotland at next year’s General Election to make sure the people of Scotland have the choice of voting for independence – something I am more confident now than ever that a majority will take.”

“Regan added: :“Alba Party are now represented at every level of Government in Scotland and people are seeing the difference we are making.

“In Holyrood we are the only party taking the constitutional argument forward and the proposed bill I set out last week is the most significant pro-independence intervention in recent years. “If the Scottish Government supports it we can hold a referendum next year on our parliament having the power to negotiate for and legislate for our independence.”

ROS “In Dubai, the FM said rich countries which had benefited from oil and gas – like Scotland – had to ‘repair the damage’ done by intensifying floods, storms and droughts.”
If the fake fm moron did say that where are the politicians who should be SCREAMING from the rooftops that he is once again LYING, The main beneficiaries of the oil and gas WEALTH are the WM english government and the OIL PRODUCING COMPANIES that John MOAN never tires of telling us are PRIVATE companies who OWN the oil and energy , SO Useless go and correct your LIES and you and MOAN can force the oil producers and energy companies to fork out

Africa First with Humza. Announced today

Africa First. £24 million for John Kerry.

Where’s the money for dueling the A9?

Where’s our leader, he’s not at Grangemouth he’s nowhere to be seen?

Apart from in bed with his Saturday Girl Anum Quasir during covid restrictions.

What a low life piece of shit you are Humza. Fucking rot.

Meanwhile our FM Yousaf is busy little bee at COP28 he’s networking away ten to the dozen (probably selling off our assets and his services) anyway not all in the SNP are happy with him.

A Kurdish-born SNP councillor has said she is “disappointed and disgusted” by a picture of Humza Yousaf meeting Turkish President Recipp Tayyip Erdogan.

Roza Salih, said in a social media post that the Turkish president kills Kurds.

Salih, has a good point Erdogan wants to eradicate the Kurds especially the PKK, which is primarily based in the mountainous Kurdish-majority regions of southeastern Turkey and northern Iraq.

Erdogan is sly old fox, and his recent support for the oppressed Palestinians could be a sign that he’s open to offers from the West to change his mind, if they allow him to hunt down PKK members in Turkey without any consequences for his actions, which would be undoubtably to wipe the Kurds out.

Or maybe Erdogan wants a fast track into the EU market to stop supporting the oppressed Palestinians, after all the EU has been falsely promising Turkey access to the EU for decades without delivering on it.

Either way our globe trotting FM like the previous one who loves the limelight is rubbing shoulders and probably doing deals with the good and the bad at COP28, and its almost a nail on that none of it will be to the benefit of Scots.

Scottish SNP refugee councillor Roza Salih.

“I am disappointed and disgusted by this Erdogan kills #Kurds in Turkey & does not respect Human Rights. Our Politicians & half of the population are imprisoned by him and you shake his hand. I did not expect this from a FM that says he respects human rights.”

Dissapointed. And disgusted. Humza.

That’s makes two of us.

At least he’s in Dubai because if he had looked out of his window this morning he’d have been raging and onto the phone to Sarwar to see about making snow a hate crime.

We can’t let the SNP sweep this under the carpet.

Dorothy Bain. Chief Cover Upper. Of the Clown office.

No one ever gets prosecuted. No one ever loses their jobs. Yet they take. They steal. They lie.

We need vigilante justice in this country.

Screw Humza. And Dorothy Bain and all of their corruption.

The press should name him and do Scotland favour.

Here’s one that will get you thinking of would they or wouldn’t have they (with Tammany Hall aka Glasgow City council in mind).

Would GGC have declared a housing crisis if the UK governments office hadn’t cleared the backlog of asylum seekers claims?

What I mean is that the foreign country of England that controls who can and cannot live in Scotland is about to decide how many new asylum seekers will be able to come to Scotland, (assuming our colonial admin SNP Government agrees to take them) and those bright sparks that run the councils up and down Scotland realise that there’s already a massive housing shortage, but hey its only Scots that are homeless so f*ck em, now know that more housing will be required to meet the new influx.

One thing that’s crystal clear, those filthy seedy cheap hotels that up to now have been housing a plethora of homeless Scots kids will continue to rake in wads of taxpayers cash because in my opinion GCC and our colonial admin don’t really care about those kids, or Scots in general.

Is nobody else getting extremely fucked off with all these overly well remunerated virtue signalling cunts swanning round the planet?
Tell you what Humza (and any other twat that even utters the term “NetZero”), if the climate is in such a fucking emergency then why the fuck don’t you actually do something to start to correct the issues.
I’ve just learnt yet another lovely young Scottish couple with a couple of wee bairns are having to sell up from my village because they can’t afford to pay the mortgage and cover the heating bill.
Paying 350 quid every month of the year for leccy is a fucking joke, but it is the harsh reality of living in properties with low thermal efficiency ratings and often with reams of regressive legislation slapped on them.
If the Scottish Government Administrators of devolved powers had half a fucking clue on how to improve the lives of oor ain folk as they struggle through the engineered cost of existing crisis, and also how to reduce energy consumption to save the planet, then the very first thing you should have concentrated on would be insulating to improve the thermal efficiency of our Scottish properties. But no, you are clearly too thick to understand where to even begin to addressing the matters you so regularly pontificate about.

If as we’re so regularly told that there is a climate emergency, then change the archaic planet wrecking planning legislation on listed buildings and conservation areas so people can at least get with last century and fit double glazing so their houses aren’t just pissing away expensive energy and heat. Because until you do that simple thing, it continues to show that you are not at all serious about addressing the issues, but are in fact the actual problem which is holding us all back.
And you can no longer state the aesthetic appearance of the buildings must be preserved because you’ve already allowed the old fashioned traditional look of the village to be trashed by clagging fucking useless ASHPs and solar PV arrays all over the properties and gardens.

Alba needs to stand on an anti corruption platform as well. Do some serious vetting of their candidates. So that BDSM and adult babies like Amber Roberts aren’t selected on all female lists like the SNP.

Ash Regan should announce an anti corruption bill.

Stating any SNP MSP found to have lied, or mislead parliament will not have their pensions on retirement.

And a Salvo convention. The people should be allowed to sack the government.

Mike Russel quits as President of the SNP, step in the right direction.

Chick McGregor.

Pretty good ideas there, the problem arises at the other end, with not enough indy voters being aware that the SNP aren’t a party for Scottish independence anymore.

In my opinion, the SNP will get back into power in 2026,, and if they need to do a deal with Labour, and the Greens again, they will, however they won’t do a deal with Alba, who will gain a few seats but not enough to make a difference this time around.

Christ we’re looking at 2031 before Alba can make an impact at Holyrood.

This is ballsy from Alba’s Ash Regan, and it would help our cause but I doubt the SNP government will support it, as we know the SNP only pretends to support Scottish independence to garner votes at elections.

“In Holyrood we are the only party taking the constitutional argument forward and the proposed bill I set out last week is the most significant pro-independence intervention in recent years. “If the Scottish Government supports it we can hold a referendum next year on our parliament having the power to negotiate for and legislate for our independence.”

@A Scot Abroad 7:42pm
I agree with your post and as a member of Alba I find the timidity very disappointing. The main focus of Alba has been of a Scotland United approach and deference to the SNP. Its over, a failed strategy. I would put myself forward as an Alba candidate for the GE and cover all my election expenses and supporting staff myself within the rules. If nothing else to have go at the SNP on a public platform. One look at my Alba account I haven’t recruited any members. Understandable given all my immediate and extended family members are scunnered with the Independence issue. Most of them work in the public sector and see at first hand the reality of the SNP Green Government.

What makes people here think Alba isn’t vetting their candidates? What do the same people think is the difference between vetting and ‘seriously ‘ vetting? Lastly, taking away people’s pensions for misleading parliament risks a pointless law suit that the pursuer will easily win, so why indulge these kinds of gesture politics?
The way I look at politics generally is to try and understand the behaviour from the party’s or the politician’s point of view because trying to understand political behaviour from some kind of standard – even one that might seem essential, like politician’s shouldn’t be corrupt – isn’t analytically effective and makes you sound naive, petty or someone who just doesn’t understand basic politics.
I wonder how many that post regularly on here have ever read something like Richard Crossman’s ministerial diaries? I wonder how many here have even heard of him?
Zero and zero probably…

I heard on the radio today that she’s only “receptive” for 36 hours each year, not hard to believe

Our polticians failing Scotland’s housing crisis.

Big Jock,

that was the case in 2014. Nothing’s changed since then. If you don’t like it, tough luck. It’s still the case now. Given ScotGov acceptance of the 2014 route, there’s a precedent. The UN will find it hard to see any other route taken.

link to nitter.net

I’m surprised the Sunday Mail hasn’t printed the Scottish edition.

Like Derek Mackay. Humza’s lawyers must be trying to silence the story about him bouncing on Anum Quasir and he should resign for breaking the law.

Set the truth free.

I think the reason Alba haven’t made inroads is because people are scunnered with inaction & tbh they’ve had no real test. No one much cares for diddly council by-elections.
The GE will be the test.

Alba is a political party. Funds are limited until it can break through.

56 MPs was a complete waste of everyone’s time. They settled in straight away.
Brexit happened despite a mandate /manifesto pledge & whining Blackford reminding us every week it wouldn’t happen.
Sturgeon was a liar. People feel anger.
£600k has gone walkies with no accountability.
They’re all corrupt as feck with wandering hands.
The horrors of GRR being passed regardless of no mandate.
The deviant Greens – no mandate.

Holyrood, it seems, is a cesspit knocking shop.

When trust is lost its lost.

With ID it’s going to be a lot harder too. People already on the breadline won’t waste money even applying.

Scotland needs to return MPs. It’s the recognised seat of power & that’s the system – tho I hope Alex would be ballsy
& refuse to sit but that’s a big ask cause folks can’t work on self esteem. That doesn’t pay the bills lol

Alba are the only ones doing anything for Indy in both parliaments. Sturgeon turned the YES movement tribal with her bullshit but I don’t think it’s Indy supporters yapping on social media – it’s the GRR gang knowing their gig is up. They flock to Labour now.

Whoever in England thought *Sir* Starmer was ever going to be anything but Mr Establishment is as thick as shite.

That’s if the votes weren’t rigged in the first place. Just need to watch the Labour files to see the absolute corruption of that party working against the rightful leader to undermine him out of office.

That Land Commission job:

Is Mike Russell moonlighting with the horsebox?

link to archive.is

Labour, AKA Tory Party in red see their leader knight of the realm Sir Keir Starmer praise the leadership of Maggie Thatcher!

The woman behind the poll tax, the woman who went to war with Argentina to win an election. The woman who fought trade unionism with the Miners that closed all of the pits she promised to keep open and the U.K. lost a valuable mineral most needed at that time.

She imported coal from Columbia where 10 old kids worked in the pits.

For those who don’t know she handed a contract to the company her son worked for and made the reasons behind it top secret to stop compensation claims from those not allowed to tender.

Does anyone believe the reason was anything beyond filling her son’s pockets.

And will any party trying to stop pathetic right of centre Labour from forming the next government highlight this story, not if your in the Sleeping Numb Parasite group. SNP.

Statement from Michael Matheson

At the Cop28 summit in Dubai, Humza Yousaf said the money will go towards urban communities in the global south. Countries such as Afghanistan, Algeria, India, Indonesia, Nigeria, Pakistan, and many others.

Aparently Zambia is to get 36 million. It’s time to take our country back and sack this cheating, lying Muslims first Minister.

Humza, wants his very own Gaza on the river Clyde.

We know the Ukranian on the boat we’re all housed before Scottish men.

We know that the rental market is out of control. Yet they don’t declare a housing emergency.

But he’s got 36 million to give away. To the false green agenda.

Because they are Muslims INIT. INIT BRUV Erdogan.

That’s fair criticism I haven’t been to an Alba branch meeting or Conference. I watched some of it on tv. But take your point. Inactive members should channel their energy by turning up.

Anyone heard hiw snp finances are doing

Well Nicola Sturgeon resigned because of the police investigation into the SNPs finances.

The investigation that she was later arrested as a suspect. With Peter Murrell’s showroom raided including digging up the back garden for evidence.

Ian Livingstone also visited Nicola a week before to warn her what was coming.

Meanwhile the SNP saved up for flowers to send her.

And the police work for the SNP. Thanks to Dorothy Stain of the Clown Office of Clowns. Chief Cover Upper of criminality.
Sturgeon’s jury hating hench woman to her left. And rapist enabler. LADY Doughball Dorian.

So I don’t expect much justice in the SNP. Who put this clown Humza Yousaf into office in a fixed election. We know no one will resign. Michael Matheson even blames his kids.

No one is ever held to account. No one voted for Humza Yousaf. The SNP conference was emptied. And Sturgeon fucked off the the cash in a suitcase and a caravan with her lesbian lover. Stuffed in a closet somewhere.

The whole of Scotland knows. It’s an embarrassment that the police haven’t done anything about it.

Then again. JOE Farrell
The new woke chief of police is a corrupt cow as well. If she let Dominic Cummings drive 300 miles to test his eyes.

I suppose she gets police Scotland to drive her 300 miles as well.

Bent copper alert.

Fuck them all.

I think it was the dumb transfer of votes system that led to Dumbza.

Why not just normal voting. FPTP?
Instead of all the ranking shit.

Tho I don’t believe the SNP membership is pro Indy anymore.
How many voting in that election were rUK?

A political party can have members from anywhere. As the Tories proved.

#HumzaBinShaggin. Leader of the SNP grooming gang. According to the daily Record. The ex husband of Anum Quasir is was threatened about going public on the affair.

You don’t want to get on the wrong side of an Asian grooming gang that’s for sure. It’s 100 lashings for adultery and death by stoning in Sharia Law!

Well. Unless you’re on top of the the SNP grooming gang that is. And then you get to become an MP. Wish an envelope of cash from Daddy.

I wonder if Humza does irony. There he is giving millions of pounds away to foreign countries in a posture about global warming, whilst at the same time Scotland is starved of money to help the people and freezes in temperatures as low as minus 18c.

Where is the mandate for him behaving in this way? What have the Greens got on the SNP to make them act in this way?

Sturgeon started this absurd posturing, and now Humza is pursuing it further.

What about the farmer’s propmised millions? What about spending it on a decent road to Inverness. What about using it on the ancient fery fleet, or the healht service, or home insulation, or……

The SNP have shown where their priorities lie. And it’s not with the Scottish people.

God help us from posing buffoons who just want the limelight and care nothing for those they are supposed to represent.

Sounds familiar?

“The identity of those involved have been kept out of the news for legal reasons, however it is widely known among the press and politicians”

So says the Scottish Daily Express about the bonking SNP covid busters.

The same words apply to the Salmond stitch up.

The Scottish people are treated like mushrooms. It’s time for change. Let the people know the truth about these events. The judicial system is failing us by agreeing to all this unjustified secrecy. The press should do something to stop the rot. It is not healthy living in the dark and being covered in sh1t.

Humza Yousaf. The MSP Who Shagged Me!

#HumzaBinShaggin

link to nitter.net

The Ex husband. AND the police have confirmed they were called to deal with threats made by SNP gang members of Humza Yousaf asking him to shut up.

Why would SNP gang members be threatening a husband for nothing, if the allegations weren’t true? Why would the Asian grooming gang members be there, if it weren’t true?

That’s because it is true. They’ve been shagging. They’ve breaking the law. Our corrupt First Minister is a double cheat. Who’s cheats on his first wife. And his second wife. And breaks laws he set himself. Spreading covid not love.

Everyone knows the truth. He has no mandate to he in office. Let alone give our money away to Africa. While he’s bonking Anum Quasir.

Why is she there? For what reason?

Is Mhairi MaCallan just another play thing for Humza, is she his Sunday girl in Dubai? His cocktail waitress at Cop 26. Is that why she’s the environment secretary, for the business trips?

Humza. Hang your ex in shame. 100 lashings coming your way for being an adulterer. As per Sharia Law. The Mosque won’t be happy.

And neither will your daughters. Shame on the press for not doing Scotland a favour and naming him.

England’s Home Secretary James Cleverly is to fly out to Kigali (Rwanda) to give its government £15 million quid to take what the UK government calls “Boat People” (a derogatory term if you ask me) arriving in UK waters.

The Tory government has already squandered a whopping £140 million pounds on the sending them to Rwanda plan, which the UKSC shotdown recently. The £15 million quid payment isn’t likely to be a one off shot, infact Downing street insiders think that more payment will be forthcoming.

Rishi Sunka met with the Rwandan dictator Paul Kagame on Friday at COP28, Kagame is one of many dictatorships that Westminster props up around the globe. Sunak refused to rule out more millions of pounds payments going to Kigali.

One wonders if our prolific shagging FM has made any side deals at the COP28.

“The Conservative Party leader told a press briefing while at Cop that he was “finalising” legislation designed to push through the Rwanda proposal, which is seen as key to delivering on his pledge to stop the boats before a likely general election next year.

The Prime Minister has set the target of deportation flights taking off by the spring.

Sources inside No 10 said the UK Government was hopeful that the emergency legislation would be ready this week but that it could not be guaranteed.”

So the millionaire knight of the realm and leader of the Labour party Sir Keir Starmer has praised Margaret Thatcher in a bid to win over some Tory voters.

Yet not one current/in office, Labour branch office MP or MSP attached to Scotland has spoken out against their boss lauding Thatcher.

In reality there’s virtually no difference between Labour and the Tories, other than Labour pretends to be a socialist party where the Tories don’t.

The (OIM) Optional Image Mark, of London Labour as the Electoral Commission has described “Scottish Labour” is a Fifth Column at Holyrood its remit is to make sure Scotland never leaves the union, and like the Tories and Lib/Dems which are also Fifth Column parties at Holyrood, they must always talk an independent Scotland down.

Well Tony. Humza says we’ve got to be reconciled for the industrial revolution. We’ve got to apologise to the global south. For the false green agenda.

So in that spirit. Humza should be reconciled to history as well. Sharia Law. For being a two timing double cheating adulterer. As, per Sharia Law. 100 lashings. And death by stoning. Metaphorically of course.

Because we’ve got to apologise for our anncestors being the land of enlightenment and the land of invention.

If we’re going by history Humza…

Scotland produces 0.1 per cent of global emissions.

We shouldn’t have to apologise to the global south for the industrial revolution. Being Scottish. And being the land of enlightenment. And invention.

Humza should be in Grangemouth. But no. He’s in Dubai. With his toad in every hole. Carrying on Sturgeon’s narcissism and making a fool of every suffering scot here. And most recently in Brechin with the floods.

Humza has abdicated all responsibility. Glasgow has just declared a housing emergency.

Meanwhile. Humza gives away £36 million of our tax payers money. To Africa. The middle east.

I’m not apologising for our proud history. I want Humza gone. He’s broken the law. And he’s corrupt. And the SNP. And the police know it.

Xaracen @ 2:45 pm

Scottish sovereignty “clearly isn’t worthless, or it wouldn’t have been necessary for England’s establishment to steal it or block it, and we wouldn’t be wanting it back.”

Yes, independence is about a peoples struggle to reclaim their sovereignty which has been taken from them. In a colonial society “only the values of the colonizer are sovereign” (Memmi). And the colonizer’s values seek to make the colonized forget about their sovereignty, to make it not exist. The colonizer cannot therefore respect the sovereignty of the colonized, and they cannot afford to allow it to exist. If the colonizer recognises the colonized’s sovereignty then the colonial relationship is ended.

The locals should just storm the castle and sieze it back to Scottish hands.

@David Hannah 2:54pm

It’s worse than a apology the UN representative body has calculated a 24 Trillion Dollar reparations from the UK for the transatlantic slave trade. On a pro rata basis that’s 2.4 Trillion Dollar reparation for us. Of course the UN have declared we won’t have to pay it in one go. How very nice of them. And here is me worried about a definite mere 2 billion hole

Dumbza is in line with Islam.

It’s hidden within the fake tranny shit.

Confused.. pmsl at the single cigarette.

Confused @2.59 Thank you for your enlightening post on the Moslem concept of taqqiya. I have often wondered how Humza Yousaf could claim to be a good moslem and at the same time be the leading proponent of Transgender rights in Scotland.

CHERRYBANK
Confused is not an expert on Islamic law. Do take care what you read.
The matter of deliberate deception, taqiya, kitman etc is a question contentious within Islam itself. Is pretence/deception a betrayal of belief?
It is likewise with Christianity particularly in Catholicism.
The Japanese writer Endo Shusaku’s novel The Silence takes that theme.

He’s giving another 500,000 away today.

When will anyone stop him?

Will the press name him as the love rat and criminal. Or will they wait for Douglas Ross to name him In Westminster Parliament?

Perhaps Douglas Ross can use Parliamentary Privilege in Westminster to bring his nemesis down. Once and for all.

His first wife was white and Scottish.

Not a good enough Muslim. Just a, white girl.

Anum is more his type.

Re taqqiya, a few years ago I was on a date with a Scottish woman who had not long divorced a Muslim immigrant here. She told me that he had been serially cheating on her and when she confronted him his response was that she was not meant to find out and that the Koran says that if no harm is meant no sin has been committed so he had done nothing wrong.

We had ordered a takeaway at her house and as we sat down to eat it what I have to assume was him showed up, sat his arse down in front of the telly, picked up the remote and stuck the golf on. He was a black guy and when she went out of the room he turned to me and asked me if I liked black women, I replied that I did and he said that he would set me up with one and went back to the golf. I made my excuses and left as I felt that she was trapped under their spell.

Elements here are descending into an antimuslim, perhaps racist, rant.
Caution. A slope most treacherous.

Republic

Yes. The Tories are setting up perpetual Tory rule.

Boundary changes & voter ID being the latest along with new crimes bill & BoJo already removed some ppl not playing ball from the electoral commission.

We’re heading into a dictatorship & that’s been on the cards for a while. The Tories are so arrogant they’ll even break int laws.

You are the resident expert on Muslim affairs, so why did you comment on Christianity in your post of 4:43pm. Your equating of the two religions was superficial at best. Perhaps you can explain to me why an Imam refused to shake the hand of my wife during an Open Day to a Mosque?. What part of the Quran motivated that behaviour in an Established Christian country. Reinforced by the fealty of King Charles III at his Coronation. It’s a free speech blog. It’s not racist to ask why the Imam wouldn’t shake hands with a woman. The action maybe was sexist though. Over to you for an explanation.?

This is a new low. Even for Humza:

“THE Scottish Government will fund solar energy installations for 15 children’s operating theatres in Africa, Humza Yousaf has announced.

Through its International Development Fund, the Scottish Government will provide almost £325,000 for Kids Operating Room (OR) to provide power to the facilities in Malawi, Zambia and Rwanda.”

Ahaha. It’s not even funny. What about our NHS?

From “Colonialism and the Highland Clearances – Iain MacKinnon

“However, it is after the defeat of the
Jacobite army at Culloden in 1746 that explicitly expressed proposals and projects for colonization become more apparent. The estates of prominent Jacobite supporters were forfeited to the Crown to be governed by the Board for the Annexed Estates. Andrew
MacKillop has described this as ‘the most ambitious and high-profile agency of government intervention in the Highlands in the second half of the eighteenth century’. Led by Andrew Fletcher, the former Lord Justice Clerk, the Board’s commissioners had been set the task of ‘civilising the inhabitants on the said estates, and other parts of the Highlands and Islands of
Scotland’. One of the means by which they set about this task was to develop what the
Commission’s reports call ‘colonies’ of demobilised soldiers and sailors upon the forfeited estates. On their Perthshire holdings the colonies included those at Streilitz, Auchterarder,Borland Bogg and several at Callendar.28 MacKillop has argued that it is among the colonies of the Annexed Estates – which were equated to the colonia established by the Roman empire ‘in order to pacify local populations and act as recruiting stations for imperial defence’ – that the beginning of the crofting system of tenure can be found and that the Board’s ‘true significance’ is as a state intervention initiating policies of land tenure for settlement that foreshadowed the general move towards crofting tenure.”

ASA says:
“Vastly more Scots went south than English came north, post 1707. If there was any colonising being done, it was Scots doing it.”

Quite true, ASA.

As Professor Tom Devine points out in his magisterial “The Scottish Nation,” emigration from Scotland made Scotland, on a percentage basis, “the emigration capital of Europe” in the 1800s. As the 2011 census shows, a much higher percentage of Scots have moved to England, than vice-versa. See link to gov.scot).

Sadly, facts won’t change the minds (?) of commenters whose intellectual energy is limited to churning out substance-free, repetitive comments.

Sam, that was under 2,000 people, and all of them Scots in their own native land.

Nearly 3 million Scots went out to the Empire in the next 150 years. Now, that’s colonisation. And the vast majority went of their own free will, to seek economic opportunity.

“Our inherent sovereignty has a real world existence, or it is worthless.

So how does it manifest in the real world? Who wields it and how?

Take your time, I’m here all day.”

I have answered this question many times.

The so called “sovereignty of the Scots” is not worth the paper it was written on.

If it was, the Scots wouldn’t be fighting for independence three hundred years after it had been taken away.

If the Scots were “sovereign”, independence couldn’t have been taken away in the first place.

The only right that so called “Sovereign Scots” have is the Westminster given right to vote, if and when Westminster allows a vote.

“Sovereign Scots”, my foot.

Alf Baird,

it’s nothing like as simplistic, or as ignorant, as your fallacious argument that Scotland was colonised. Nor does your argument acknowledge that economic conditions were the same across pretty much of the U.K. at the time, whether you were from Wester Ross or Whitby, Exeter or Edinburgh. The only uniquely Scottish element was the clearances, and that was a series of acts carried out by Scottish landowners against Scots. Research shows that around 100,000 were cleared, with about 60,000 going to the cities in the Lowlands, and 40,000 emigrating abroad. A high proportion were Cottars, who were in effect serfs for the clans, compelled to croft and indeed to turn out for military service.

Your colonialism argument has always been nonsense, and now you are proving it. Best stick to counting shippingcontainers or whatever it is that the fourth rate Poly thought that you were good at. You’ve got no grasp of history or logic.

“Sam, that was under 2,000 people, and all of them Scots in their own native land.”

The Gàidhealtachd is the Highlands. Peole were dispossessed of their lands. Their culture was attacked.

The Gaels were attacked as inferior.

“But the Highlanders … had been so contaminated with a Celtic mixture in Ireland, that … in laziness, filth, and every species of savageness, they have been always hardly distinguishable from the savages of Ireland. In all ages of our history they are marked as the savages of Scotland.”

“removing the colonizer”

Seems a smidge extreme to me, Alf.

I’ll compromise though. There can be few Scottish electoral constituencies where the “colonising” voters outnumber the “indigenous”, maybes even none.

But I’m sure we can agree that a majority of Scottish constituencies contain a majority of indigenous Scots voters.

Ergo, any Indy party, putting up a candidate in each constituency, standing on the platform that a majority of seats for them will be interpreted as a plebiscitary vote in favour of ending the Union and starting unilateral action for Indy, will be entirely fair.

All that is needed for that plan to work is for a majority of voters in a majority of constituencies to be actually in favour of Indy.

Not only is this a simple idea to grasp, but it requires nobody’s “permission” and it is fundamentally democratic.

Obviously the SNP will never do this, but there is nothing stopping Alba. It’s high time for them to get the finger out and make this happen. It’s high time that the claimed solid support for Indy, regularly referred to on here, is put to the test at the place it matters, the ballot box.

HR elections, 2026 will be perfect.

Oh dear, Yousaf using the position of FM of Scotland and Keeper Of The Great Seal to divert hard earned Scottish tax payer’s “tartan tax” to his favourite good causes.

Michty me. If only somebody had had the smeddum to take forwards the legal challenge against the flawed and fraudulent election process that saw him shooed into place.

But naw, that was dropped and now we all have to live with and pay for the consequences.

Nae probs, eh? It’s only money, and extorted tax payer’s money at that. There’s always more to be extorted – for those in Yousaf’s position, the magic money tree is very real indeed.

“economic conditions were the same across pretty much of the U.K. at the time, whether you were from Wester Ross or Whitby, Exeter or Edinburgh”

Again this is not the case. Unemployment was historically much higher in Scotland than in England, and wage levels were lower. The main role of Scotland in supplying England and its empire needs meant Scotland’s economy became highly concentrated on a few industries, and hence much more subject to shocks, which were all too frequent.

This is examined in great detail in Hechter’s ‘UK Internal Colonialism’ which explains the economic differences between the Celtic Periphery nations and core nation England in the industrial process. And it also explains why Scotland’s outmigration per capita was up to 8-times higher than England’s.

I hope Nadia is changing the locks as we speak. Imagine giving all that money away.

He’ll start a race war in this country the way he’s going. He’s a disgrace to office of First Minister. And a pestilence to the land. As, someone said!

Taqqiya – the thing about islamic opinions, if you hunt hard enough, you can always find a scholar to your taste.

Islam is a cheap knockoff of christianity, simplified, mysteries removed, for the left side of the bell curve; it’s a copy paste operation.

– but they got the idea of embedded lying from the other lot

you need to watch all of this, but it gets real meaty half way in; very illuminating re : the situation in gaza, especially if you think of it as a “conflict” with two sides, opposed equally. Who is genociding who? Who has it in their nature?

… jews, muslims … hindus!? – let’s have a full house

Everyone knows Mountbatten drew the India – Pakistan border, “wrong” because he didn’t like Jinnah (one kinky rumour is that Nehru was fucking Lady Mountbatten … and Louis … ), so you have “border disputes” and “disputed territories” and disgruntled populations. They shell each other and have the odd skirmish. I read it got a bit intense of late because of what the Indian government were up to – they were promoting “internal colnisation” into this largely muslim area, but with hindus. Remind you of anything? The old ideas are best.

– you can see the cunning of it all. Some time, maybe 30 years from now, one way or another, there could be a referendum on this area’s political destiny. Then they use a messed up local govt franchise. Are hindus the new muslims, and who are the “soft noes”. Muslims and hindus – who are the real racists? And does anyone give a fuck what that word means anymore, so devalued it is.

Palestine, gaza, india-pakistan, which all goes to show 2 things – multicultural diversity solves all problems (!!), and … the british empire don’t half leave a fucking mess after you boot them (so be warned)
