Wings Over Scotland


An inexplicable silence

Posted on January 24, 2023 by

More than a day on from our disturbing exposé of how the Scottish Parliament has been captured by a tiny, sleazy nest of pornographers, drug addicts, fetishists and abusers, there still hasn’t been a single comment distancing themselves from the group by any of the MSPs identified in the article, including Patrick Harvie, Ross Greer, Joe Fitzpatrick, Paul Sweeney and most notably Alex Cole-Hamilton, who made the remarkable public statement that MSPs were directly and specifically passing gender reform laws for the benefit of male sex worker and violent serial abuser Beth Douglas.

We’ve asked Alex Cole-Hamilton for comment several times without reply. (Although there has been an unverified third-hand answer via Willie Rennie and a Twitter user.)

Wings Over Scotland makes absolutely no assertions about why MSPs wouldn’t want to very clearly and unambiguously disassociate themselves from such an unpleasant character after information about him had been brought to light in a widely-read (over 200,000 views) article which was trending on Twitter all day yesterday.

For the avoidance of doubt, we have no information about any interactions between Douglas and any MSPs that we’re keeping secret. But we’re not the least bit surprised that people have started wondering what possible reasons a whole string of male politicians could have for not wanting to upset a male prostitute, particularly given the long and sordid history of male politicians and male prostitutes in the UK.

To quash such speculation, we once again urge all MSPs who have associated with Beth Douglas to clearly and publicly disavow him and assure voters that he will no longer shape or influence legislation passed in the Scottish Parliament.

    Wow I think you are brave pisshing on with this. Yesterday you were being called out on FB as an anti Trans blogger.
    When I defended you by stating not only were you calling out these abusers but so were a few others who had found evidence of violence threats from people like this. A silence followed.
    Let’s hope this is the beginning of the end to these marginal violent abusives having influence.

    You’re saying what others are thinking, Rev. Just why are so many of these politicians into this stuff, cavorting at Pride Marches with obvious sexual fetishists? Well, virtue-signalling is one part of it, fear of being cancelled is another, “just be kind” might, conceivably, be yet another, but I do believe that some are themselves autogynephiles/paraphiliacs/fetishists, among other things. It makes sense when you think about it. The “I’ll support this because I know how these men feel” or because “I’m part of this scene myself” and a contender for ‘D**k of the Year’. That might apply to the men, but the women? Some might be ‘queer’, but others will be just daft, empty-headed bints whose credentials for the award of ‘Handmaiden-cum-Auntie of the Year’ trump the number of brain cells in their modest wee, hollowed-oot neeps atop their shoulders.

Whatever the truth is, the optics are terrible, something not nice is going on methinks. The UK security agencies would love this – a very easy way to control politicians. I don’t know if senior SNP politicians are compromised in some way – there are certainly quite a few recent events (missing 600K, Alex Salmond court case, ferries fiasco, the Balmoral Hotel iron throwing incident etc etc) that could possibly be used by the British state to control certain individuals. If so, then they will be given clear instructions and warned not to step out of line. Once a politician is “owned”, that’s it, for them it’s over folks.

    As for Sturgeon her press conference yesterday was bizarre but it did make it clear that she stands with the violent TRAs putting their wishes ahead of the rights of women, children and the disabled. At a time when the Tories are destroying lives, we have the First Minister risking everything for a small group while the majority suffer horrendous cuts. It’s all very well to say you ‘detest Tories’ but doing the one thing which stops this is something she refuses to do.As many do, I wonder why the Trans issue is clearly so personal to her when people in poverty is something she’s letting happen?

    Stuart, nobody ‘owns’ this battle (indeed, The Times also spoke about this today). J K Rowling and Sharron Davies have been giving it big licks too over Saturday’s events, and the Dreadnought has a large number of ex-Guardianistas in their ranks (Julia Burchill and Suzanne “F**k Me Shoes” Moore) who left the Kings Place Cult under a cloud due to their diminishing “wokery”.

    Stu is FAR from the only person that’s been banging on about this topic – indeed credit where credit’s due when a large chunk of that joint article with the Glinner was taken from some of the latter’s old exposes and investigations. If you thought ‘The Grooming Of Hollywood’ was stomach turning, the saga of David Challenor will keep you awake for a week.

    (I really wish thoough The Glinner would get rid of that stupid Smug Middle Aged Middle Englander logo of his, I don’t suppose it dawns on him how many people he alienates with it … coming across at first glace as loving the smell of your own farts more than Gyles Brandreth doesn’t win battles, esp. with the limited attention span Twitkiddies he needs to get paying attention)

    Holyrood has turned into in the most part a nest of vile MSPs who don’t really give a monkeys what the electorate wants until these vile creatures want re-elected and even then they’ll tell us a pack of lies to get their snouts back into the taxpayers trough.

    First up at the next GE vote out the SNP MPs who’ve done f*ck all for the indy cause replace them with Alba MPs, the when the next Holyrood elections comes around vote out the SNP/Green MSPs and replace them with Alba ones.

    Twathater @3.06pm.

    The SNP no longer cares what WE the electorate thinks, nor do they give a toss what the membership thinks either, they get their money from elsewhere.

    “That is the same all over Scotland. The average Alba member is not just ex-SNP (and over 90% are), but were the heart and soul of SNP membership, the people who chapped the doors and delivered the leaflets. A year ago, it was being suggested the SNP would be seriously damaged without these people.

    That turns out to be completely untrue. Because those who lead political parties – and here comes my promised perception – believe they don’t actually need members any more. Almost nobody attends hustings meetings, nobody reads leaflets and nobody engages with canvassers. Elections are now fought almost entirely through the mainstream media, and online.

    For the modern campaign, parties need paid PR practitioners and they need paid troll farms. They don’t need little old men and women going door to door, other than once or twice for a candidate photocall.

    The members, bluntly, are redundant old nuisances in the eyes of the political class. Nobodies who presume a right to have a say in party policy which should be dictated by the professionals.

    Nor do they need the members’ subscription money. Starmer is delighted to have shed hundreds of thousands of Corbyn supporting members, to pursue instead corporate and billionaire money. The SNP Conference in Aberdeen was simply a festival of corporate lobbying. The Tories have always run on dark money in huge tranches.

    Then there is the ever increasing largesse of Short money – taxpayer funds which the political class have awarded themselves to fund their party administrations. This state funding of political parties is one of the very worst innovations of my lifetime and fundamental to the development of our careerist and unprincipled political class.”

    For all we know Beth here could be Scotland’s very own budding Jimmy Saville Jnr (or should that be Jenny Saville), procuring abuse victims for his high ranking politician friends, who after all seem strangely loyal and adoring towards him, which is odd considering how nasty and and aggressive he is towards women and well everyone who knows him it seems…

    Who knows but it all looks very sleazy and incestuous with Beth and Alex, ‘this is for you Beth’ as he chokes back the tears… You’d think Cole Hamilton was talking about Nelson Mandela and not a ‘serial abuser’.

    The silence calls to mind the silence about Jimmy Saville, a sexual predator with years of predation on young and vulnerable people, carried out while he was a public figure and able to boast friendship with many high profile people such as the present King then PoW.

    He was able to go where he wanted, hiding in plain sight, lauded by members of the elite while he carried out his disgusting acts apparently under the radar of major institutions like the BBC where he worked for decades, hospitals including Broadmoor where he had an office and even his own keys to go where he wished.

    Despite all of his vile depredations coming out following his death still there is no explanation from these institutions, politicians who praised him for his charitable work ( which he was able to use as a successful disguise for his depraved character) as to why he was never suspected or discovered by them. The excuse always was that they were as fooled by him as everybody else. Totally incredible.

    Only Jerry Sadowitz outed him before Saville’s death and is still suffering for that today.

    Bravo Stuart, again and again. Thank fuck you’re back. As one of many scary Wings subscribers, I appreciate the quality analysis and outstanding journalism. We will always have your back as you delve into the horrors unfolding in front of our eyes.

    That placard photo is there for all to see, with the SNP politicians gazing at the camera, a bit too leery for my liking. Anytime I’m being photographed, I want to know and see what’s behind me. One would think that those in the glare of the media would/should be savvy to that. Otherwise they’re endorsing violence to women by “ Transwomen” who are so sexually dysfunctional, so afraid of women, that their hatred of them shines through in everything they say or do and their never ending search to find something to be offended by.

    As for the sexual grooming of children, as advocated by Maggie Chapman, we now know that she poses a clear and present danger to the safeguarding of our children. My robust risk assessment is based on the utter garbage and crazy beliefs she spews out and proselytising her own brand of deviant and dark gender ideology on young, like a religion.

    Not in my fucking name. I am not religious but this seemed apposite: “ It was said that child molestation is the one sin Jesus denounced so vehemently that he warned the perpetrators they would be better off not born or fastening millstones about their necks and casting themselves into the sea.”

    Looking forward to the demo tomorrow.

    There have been a couple of ‘sex scandals’ in the recent past (very heavy use of euphemism here), one in Belgium and one in Portugal, that were bad from the first allegations but only got worse and worse and ended up involving people at the top of those particular societies, much more so in the Portuguese case. The fallout from these scandals led to huge changes in how Belgium’s institutions were run and led to Portuguese society opening up to the notion that child sex-abuse was much more widespread than anyone had previously believed. Belgium and Portugal were fundamentally altered by these ‘experiences’.
    This emerging scandal here in Bonnie Scotland does not seem to reach anywhere near the magnitude of those just mentioned but something is clearly very wrong when no-one in OUR parliament has publicly condemned such a disturbed individual or shown regret for allowing this person some influence over the legislative process.
    I have personal experience of how corrupt Scotland is – I mean deeply deeply corrupt – but this Bethgate scandal is of a higher order than anything I have seen. We expect better of our elected representatives because it is much harder for them to avoid scrutiny but you lot – yes, you MSPs – are now avoiding scrutiny and we the people – the ones who still care about this country – we deserve answers. Second-hand admissions are not going to cut it. In the recent past many of you were quick to castigate one of the people who has bravely broken this story but now you cannot summon up a single instance of public comment. Some MSPs have gone from shooting the messenger and have now sunk much lower by ignoring the messenger and their message.
    I doubt any MSP has degraded themselves to the point of availing themselves of this unhinged character’s ‘private services’ but the silence of the MSPs who boosted this disturbed person into the spotlight is symptomatic of the public corruption throughout Scotland. If we just ignore it, it will go away…but what if this time it doesn’t? The longer your silence goes on, the more complicit you will appear, and the worse the fallout from this will be.
    Public decency demands this matter be discussed. Remember it’s the cover-up that eventually brings politicians down and causes the public to lose faith in politics.
    For the health of our sorry ailing political system, we need to discuss Bethgate…

    I think we have to strongly assume that the likes of Cole-Hamilton has skin in the game as if you really want to promote Trans issues, then tell the stories of kids with dysphoria & have them as your examples as opposed to someone who has an appalling history of violence, including it seems sexual violence.

    Depending on what type of “skin in the game” you mean… It’s been known for some time that the LibDems have received substantial donations from the Ferring Pharmaceuticals.

Honestly, they could be standing in a lift with one other person, fart and then say that they didn’t do it and still believe themselves. Water off a ducks back. Without a media in Scotland who will call them out, they will always retain their power.

    As for the Jimmy Saville stuff, I am convinced that Thatcher knew, and her infamous Christmas Card with Jimmy was a “don’t mess with me, or my agenda, or else” warning to the BBC.

    I am worried that the MSM silence will only be for as long as it takes to justify putting the current Scottish Parliament into mothballs, a la Stormont. A moment of reckoning with ole Blighty, with decorum on the side of ole Blighty and a complete shambles in Nicola’s disfunctional parish Council from hell, and the place will be shut down for a major clean up and reset. For long time… For as long as it takes to gut and chop up Scotland.

    Very worried.

    SNP, these are dangerous weeks and months ahead. If you can clean this up, now is the time to do it. Otherwise, after the fact, you will just be like Esther Rantzen of “That’s Life” telling Piers Morgan you heard rumours about Saville, at parties, but didn’t make much of them. And you will get the same measure of belief.

    What the hell are we doing to our kids and society. There is being Liberal and there is abdication of your responsibilities. We can’t have a free for all, there needs to be a moral compass. Even if it’s just based on biological science.

    The reason we can walk the streets without being mugged or robbed every five minutes. Is because we don’t have a free for all for criminals. We have police, courts and prisons. Otherwise its anarchy.

    It seems the SG want a free for all for every fetish , no matter how depraved. To become mainstream in order to have equal opportunities, even for the criminally insane.

    Describing a male rapist as female cannot be allowed to stand. This madness has to stop.

    I was surprised reading one of the characters in the exposé admit to writing ‘smut’ about kids.

    I would have thought that was an outright crime, i.e. producing child pornography, but I can only guess that this is a loophole, people’s written fantasies… still surprised you can get away with it if that is the case.

    However it is just another step towards actually abusing kids. Which is why I think it is probably illegal.

    They say people who commit suicide mentally prepare themselves for it by fantasizing about doing it in advance, ‘ideation’ they call this apparently.

    So surely it is the same with child abuse, first they fantasize about it, and when that becomes normal to them they take it further…

    When you then see them attracted to positions that give them access to vulnerable kids it really should be setting off major alarm bells.

    The double standards applied to heterosexuals guilty of sending tongue in cheek texts to grown adults or whatever incredibly trivial ‘offense’ versus these deviants openly boasting about writing child porn is breathtaking.

    I wonder how the decent coppers in Police Scotland feel about their collective role in all this. Task forces for hair pinging, but turning blind eyes for groomers and serial abusers.

    From my own experience of small-town behaviour in the 80’s, the scene was full of married ‘straight’ men who largely seemed attracted to cross-dressing or very effeminate gay men.

    I assumed it allowed them to indulge in gay sex without damaging their manly self-image, but there was often a significant number of them who were also into wearing lingerie.

    I doubt the psychology which drove that has changed much even in these enlightened times and given the proclivities of politicians for extra-marital sexual activity alongside their need to project an image of wholesome family man, I also assume they haven’t moved on much since then.

    One local married politician from that time earned the nickname of ‘Don’t tell anybody’, the phrase being his oft used parting refrain to the gentleman caller of the day.

    That’s because everything Bob Mack just said is complete and utter fantasy.

    People putting sauce and sprinkles on a story to romanticise it into their little ‘more entertaining’ one in lieu of the facts.

    If Johnny Rotten was “excluded from ever appearing on the BBC again”, then what was he doing on Juke Box Jury on 30th June 1979?

    Or on the Old Grey Whistle Test of February 12th 1980 singing Poptones and Careering?

    Or on Top Of The Pops (in person, not video):

    on 12th July 1979 with Public Image Limited singing ‘Death Disco’?
    on 8th April 1981 with Public Image Limited singing ‘The Flowers Of Romance’?
    on 20 February 1986 with Public Image Limited singing ‘Rise’?
    on 4 April 1996 with the Sex Pistols singing ‘Pretty Vacant’ and ‘New York’?

    Etc.

    It’s how people from the Carter Rucks to Aamar Anwar to those people on Twitter calling Stu a racist, transphobic Death Eater etc, get away with what they do … because there’s always someone out there for whom cold facts come second to a good story.

    It’s how we’re in the current mess we’re in right now.

    All that psychotic nonsense on Saturday? Symptomatic of a world where conspiracy fairy tales and “this is my truth” have been allowed to take over more and more from boring old truth.

    I often said that a positive aspect to independence would be the ability to protest and be heard in Edinburgh, rather than going to London to be ignored.
