Doing it for the kids

Posted on July 04, 2023 by

Although we’ve only mentioned him in passing in articles about other people, serial Labour and Green election failure Heather Herbert is one of the creepiest and most irresponsible men in Scottish transactivism, which is no mean feat.

(We don’t know whether Herbert is his birth surname or if he chose it in tribute to the paedophile “Herbert the pervert” character in Family Guy, like another Scotland-based transactivist named himself after an infamous transwoman who was jailed for 18 years for a brutal attempted murder and another violent transactivist deliberately named himself after a well-known gender-critical feminist.)

He popped up on Talk TV last night, explaining how a middle-aged man twerking at a number of very young children – some of whom seemed visibly distressed – during a recent Pride march was fine because maybe the children had asked him to (which they manifestly hadn’t), and anyway it was their parents’ fault that it happened.

And, y’know, readers can make their own judgements about that.

But we were just trying to work out who Herbert Shovelhands reminded us of.

And then we remembered.

As you were, everyone.

He’s a grifting deviant.

Matt Quinn

So… according to ‘Heather’, the people at fault here are the adults who encouraged/enabled/allowed children to view the parade? – Which is clearly unsuitable for children to attend.

Isn’t that the organisers and promoters of the event?

Jeannie McCrimmon

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

He popped up on Talk TV last night, explaining how a middle-aged man twerking at a number of very young children – some of whom seemed visibly distressed – during a recent Pride march was fine because maybe the children had asked him to, and even if they hadn’t it was their parents’ fault that it happened.

I saw that video. It’s as clear an instance of child abuse as one can publish online without getting into trouble, yet the thing that disturbs me more than Herbert’s predictable defence of child abuse is why are the parents sitting there laughing when their children are clearly upset and/or confused? What sort of parent lets their child be exposed to this?

I remember the days of not long ago, maybe just over a decade, when Pride marches were lovely things full of men and women who finally had the chance to show themselves as normal human beings and not some sexual deviants that much of society had accused them of in the decades prior to equality being given. Now we’re in a state where Pride marches are full of deviants, spicy heterosexuals and of course, endless examples of Trans identities. It’s no longer a lovely thing but something cold,corporate and designed in part to groom the next generation. Everything Pride used to stand against. No wonder many LGB people boycott it.

Herbert has enormous man hands, big broad masculine shoulders and a big male jutting chin with a man’s voice and typical male attitude and demeanour and we’re supposed to just accept his claim that he’s a woman.

David Hannah

Does anyone know if Herbert is employing a young male staffer called Kyle in the Labour Party?

Or maybe Kirsty Blackman is employing her close friend sHerbert. Remember, when she said she thought he had XY chromosomes?

London Scott

Parents who take their children to Pride and Drag Queen Story Hour are grooming their children for others. So in a way he is right (factually though not morally). In a sane world the kids would be taken into care, rather than the children whose parents do not approve of their ‘transition’.

Den

Everyone of them who do this with kids present are fucking perverts , zero exceptions

TenV56

Sexualised children can grow up into promiscuous teens, that seems to be what is at play here. Many teens who were sexually abused when younger can confuse sexual advances as something meaningful as the red lines were removed long ago. That is Queer Theory at work! No boundaries!

David Hannah

Sorry. She* Kirsty Blackman. This her close friend she spoke about in Parliament.

Anton Decadent

Same as how anyone who raises concerns at the grmng of children has an unnatural interest in the genitals of children. Look up Rules For Radicals, these people really do not like people having access to their How To handbooks.

Republicofscotland

Jesus looking at that guy in his giant pants and nothing else twerking and staring at those poor kids who looked frightened and bemused, one wonder WTF their parents were thinking of taking them there, and why wasn’t that bloke arrested for indecency.

There’s absolutely no defence for this disgusting behaviour.

John C

Yes.

I used to pop down to Pride marches to support LGB friends & this stuff a decade or so ago would have resulted in the person involved being thrown off the march by others on the march and the organisers.

Yes, the parents have a role here but Herbert is deflecting. He knows fine well what Pride has become & he wants to keep it that way.

David Hannah

It’s revolting what he’s said. I hope the cops kick down his mothers door and sieze the computers and take him away in cuffs.

To think this sick bastard nearly got close to setting Government policy.

Fuck off pervert.

Kurt Müller

A grown man taking a number two in public is never a great sight.

John C

To think this sick bastard nearly got close to setting Government policy.

But he is. Indirectly by proxy via those MSP’s who are in his and ‘Beth’ Douglas’s pocket. Most of these policies the Scottish government are adopting come right out of the Trans activist handbook pushed by Douglas and Herbert.

A Scot Abroad

Being a supporter of the union, I’m nearly always in disagreement with WoS BTL commenters. But on this matter, I suspect we are all agreed.

This trans matter being pushed relentlessly is seriously fucking disturbing of our shared society.

Welcome to the cult of transhumanism, the ultimate goal of globalism.

The Sin of Pride….

Robert Louis

THIS is why loads of gay folk and lesbians choose to have nothing to do with ‘pride’ anymore. It has been turned into a freakshow for creeps fetishists and perverts. I mean seriously that guy in the whits pants was just a creep, whether straight or gay.

When they changed it from lesbian and gay pride to alphabet soup ‘2slgbtqiaa+++’ pride, they literally opened it up to any old creep or pervert.

Sadly it makes some folk think this is how most gay folk behave, and they really, really don’t.

For ANY person to defend a creepy old git in his pants perving like that at children, whether in a ‘parade’ or not, is just a disgrace.

The world has gone mad.

Matt Quinn

“What sort of parent lets their child be exposed to this?”

In many cases the sort of ordinary person who imagined they might be going to see a parade of the type you remember:

“Pride marches were lovely things full of men and women who finally had the chance to show themselves as normal human beings”

The ‘alphabet soup’ brigade have done immense harm… this morning I received a call about a colleague who is in hospital; having tried to take their own life. They had ‘transitioned’ over three decades ago. And were one of those people who lived a quiet unassuming life making no issue of it – most people simply thought them a ‘somewhat ungainly and unworldly’ woman.

Said individual is one of a ‘silenced’ group of Trans people; they don’t identify remotely with the ‘trans-activist’ community which they see (quite rightly) as dominated by paraphiliacs; who are NOT genuinely Trans people. – And of course thanks to that group, the general population is often persuaded (deliberately I wonder) that this silenced group does not exist.

After a year or so of descending into agoraphobia; targeted by bullies on both sides and fearful of leaving their own home… Well…

In conversation with others I’m told that ‘queer’ remains an seriously offensive and hurtful slur to many homosexual people. Personally, it’s a word I would no sooner use than the ‘P’ or ‘N’ words directed at people who happened to be dark-skinned.

…There is nothing universally abnormal about someone who happens to be homosexual; that is rather the point of equality.

The ‘I’ for intersex… a genuinely tangible (i.e. undeniable) medical condition which those so-afflicted need to work through in whatever way is possible for them. – The last thing many of those people will want is for their condition to be politicised and abnormalised. …Being ‘roped in’ to what is an increasingly dysfunctional group of self-serving politicos; how does that help them battle the very real psychological and physical challenges they face?

Something similar is true of the Asexual who are tagged on to the ever-growing list. People who ‘simply aren’t interested’ are ‘somehow’ part of the ingroup; whether they even know they are or not?

It is tragic that ‘pride’ no longer seems to represent genuine LGB – and yes, even ‘T’, people.

James Che

The more I see of Scotland under false leadership,

The more I want to walk away and leave the non binding treaty of union in the past,
It is time for the people of Scotland to say no to this global funded agendas and take back control of their Country,

Stu, i believe Scotland has set laws on “private rights” which include family, home, speech, etc,

Family rights would include the right to support your family financially and protect your family in law would it not?
These ” family rights” do not mention trans imposed ideology doctrineation of our children through the education system, against parents wishes.

It had these “rights” at one time, not so long ago, set out on the Scottish citizens advice bureau.
Not many people know that these rights differ, from other parts of Britain in Scots law.

It really is time for Scotland to walk away from the Hoax that was perpertrated upon them all these years, and develop further upon the Sovereign people’s rights of family and to show our “self determination” in doing so.
It is the people that have these rights not the politicians,

There is very little legally that Westminster could do.
it can not sue the wee pretendy Scottish devolved westminster legislated parliament, as it Would be suing itself.

It cannot sue the old Scottish parliament that Westminster extinguished in England three years ago,
And closed its doors in Scotland three hundred years ago,

There is no legal route Left for Westminster to challenge Scotland for breach of the treaty of union, ( if it ever existed in the first place)
For every thing that was a legal entity in existence in 1707 has been extinguished and “ceased to be a legal entity” bound in a treaty.

It is no small surprise that Scottish politicians on the gravy train never mention the legalities of ceased contracts, ceased legal entities, and ceased treaties,

And it is no surprise that most Scots would rather believe the “Big Lie” of a treaty with England that did not proceed, than to think they have been scammed or were made sucker of, that is difficult for most Scots to digest.

Colonialism often falsely fools those that are colonised into believing the Colonial version of history,

May it be suggested, to throw away the false pride of having being duped for so long, accept that it was a scam played on us and now show our right to self determination of the Sovereign Scottish people leave,

For politicians of all kinds are holding us hostage to a treaty that no longer exists. And is no longer legally binding.

John C

The Mhairi Black news is fascinating. She knows that she’s going to lose big in the next GE. She knows she’s going to lose a tidy income and all those links to the UK media she’s so carefully cultivated over the last five years especially. Now she might launch a bid to become an MSP but I also think she knows the Sturgeon brand is toxic, as well as the SNP are heading for a near-extinction level event next year.

But I also think she realises the Trans ideology she’s pushed hard on is going to lose votes & she also doesn’t want to chap doors and be questioned on this. I’ve got friends in Paisley and they were looking forward to her turning up on their doorstep to question her on not just Trans issues, but how she’s failed the people she represents.

So I think the MSP option is a good shout but she’s also settled into a London lifestyle & is a darling of the English liberal left so I predict a media career forthcoming.

Anton Decadent

@Robert and John

Smearing any resistance to this as homophobic as well as transphobic will have been part of the plan. Footage of gay people at pride marches telling them that they do not speak for them is not widely shown by the media.

Most of us will be familiar with the name The Denton Files but some may not have looked up the details. It is a how to manual on forcing this into protected class status via attaching it to other, more popular, causes such as gay rights, abortion rights in Ireland and the campaign for Scottish independence. Dentons bought a Scottish law firm when less people realised what was actually going on.

Ian Brotherhood

@John C (3.12) –

re Mhairi Black, yeah, that sounds about right.

Reminds me of William Hague. One minute he was giving Tory conference a laugh, ‘it’s alright for you to laugh…most of you won’t be here in thirty years time.’ then he was an elder statesman penning history books. No-one, him included, can remember much about the intervening period apart from him wearing a baseball cap and claiming to have drunk twelve pints during his morning delivery job.

Black will surely be hoping to make a similar transition on the basis of some refreshingly blunt rhetoric, joining the media/politics/boardroom merry-go-round. Ker-fekkin-ching!

Whether or not she’ll ever be able to walk freely around Paisley again is another matter.

Decisions, decisions…

TommyBox

No doubt Ms Black will end up at some charidee for the LGHDTV crowd …

Geri

This isn’t just pride. It’s happening in classrooms up & down the country.
These freaks are indoctrinating children & displaying & promoting inappropriate behaviour every day.

When men start using babies for thier breastfeeding freak show on primetime TV – we’re already way past twerking..

There was a book not that long ago that was promoting having sex in front of yer children, even have them take part… Massive red flags that no one seems that interested in calling a halt to..

Pride is no place for children. If I was a kid l’d be traumatised at those eejits dressed in rubber walking on all fours on a leash like they were a dog ffs.. what are the parents thinking?

James Che

We have to get a grip on realities a little better than we have been doing in Scotland,

1: Scotlands people and nation has the right to self determination,

2: Scotland people are and always have been Sovereign over parliament and Monarch in Scotland.
3: The treaty of Union ceased to exist after ratifications as soon as both parliaments ceased and were extinguished in 1707.

4: Scotland never was and has not ever signed up to a treaty of Union with the newly named British English Westminster Parliament since 1707.

5: Scotland never was or ever has signed up to a treaty of union with the UK plus Ireland treaty since 1707.

6: England renamed its Westminster 1707 Parliament government in England to a more ego driven pro noun name to be all inclusive, England + Wales+ Scotland+ Ireland, SO WHAT,

Being Trans is mutable apparently, but is it accurate geographically.
Saying something is, does not automatically make it true,

The GB parliament is nothing more than a 300 year old trans pro noun, self acclaimed.

The thing is, some of it *is* the fault of the parents. I don’t know whether I’ve just become more aware of parenting skills and styles since I became a dad seven years ago, or whether there have been a large cohort of middle-class feckless adult-babies for a long time. They keep themselves infantilised whilst forcing their children to grow up far too quickly. They are clearly utterly unsuited to the responsibilities that come with parenthood.

Kids can now ‘consent’ to having a sexualised dance in broad daylight!!!

We get lost in every little move the Snp, the Greens, the Tories, the labour parties make in Scotland while all the time under the Westminster legislated sent to Scotland branch office devolved governments antics take,
They keep us occupied in Drivel as was its original purpose set up by the labour party all those years ago.
To crush Scotland people, their voice, its economy.
To make the Scots believe they had a Scottish parliament, with Scottish MSPs while under Westminster legislation swearing a oath to the monarch whose Sovereignty lies in Westminster parliament as we all know,

It surely is time for us to recognise that the Wee Scottish pretendy parliament with all its main decisions making reserved to Westminster government is not actual a parliament of Scotland, but a branch of a Colonial government sent to Scotland for management of the natives.
A Colonial government that keeps forecasting when Scotlands natives will be set free of their Colonial master, “The time” however “is not now,”

The ” Scotland act” in of it self was a Colonial act of restriction on Scotland, made by the Colonial governing body at Westminster.

Especially with no validity of a treaty with Scotland still extant since the ratifications had extinguished the old Scottish parliament from the treaty of union in 1707.

It beggers anyones political understanding of how ignorant a nation can be in perpetuating their own Colonial imprisonment by aiding and abetting the Colonial version of history.

Re San Francisco, I visited a few times in the Noughties. I am straight but my contacts there were gay and I went out with them around some of the gay bars like Auntie Charlies and attended the Halloween Parade on a return visit. It was people living their lives without imposing it on other people. One of my main contacts there though decided to move to Portland, Oregon, because San Francisco was not radical enough for them. A couple of years ago what was, if I remember correctly, the District Attorney for that part of California was the child of members of the Weather Underground, I posted about them recently, their plan to imprison all Americans in re education camps come the Communist revolution and slaughter what they estimated would be twenty five million people who would not become servile to their ideology. His parents were imprisoned for being a part of a bank robbery during which several people were murdered and he was fostered by some of their colleagues who blew themselves up when a bomb accidentally detonated in the bomb factory in the basement of the house they were renting. He was sent to either Oxford or Cambridge to study law and return to California, remember what I posted earlier with regard to the Long March Through The Institutions.

One of its current representatives is Scott Weiner. He likes to dress in leather bondage gear, looked to have the knowing transmission of HIV decriminalised and trans ideology embedded in schools. Its Governor is the nephew of the Pelosis. There is a recurring theme in all of this but it is the Gorgon Medusa, you cannot look into its face.

Really massive hands there…

I’ve not been a child for decades but if that guy did that in front of me, I’d be disgusted and probably lose my lunch. Poor wee weans. And indeed it is grooming, if kids don’t know where the boundaries are they are ripe for exploitation.

@Geri

Student Grant and Millie Tant are lobbying to have you unpersoned and your bank account closed down. Even Viz could not imagine those people dictating not only our own lives but those of our children.

Lorna Campbell

Matt Quinn: whilst I would wish no harm, and a speedy recovery, to your friend, my compassion for these larpers is all spent. Thirty years ago, these men were pretending to be women just as they are today, a gross insult that most men could not even begin to comprehend. Woman-facing is every bit as offensive as black-facing and just as morally repugnant. If you can understand why black-facing is disgusting, you ought to be able to understand why women-facing is, too.

So sick of these men telling us they have been fitting in forever. No, they haven’t. Once, we were all too compassionate to give them the Order of the Boot, but no longer. If they feel like ‘women’, that is their problem. It’s in their heads. Get help. Let them wear what they want, live their lives as they please, let no one harm them, BUT let them stay out of female spaces and female faces, female sports, female services, etc. We do not want them anywhere near us because they always set off alarm bells – even if they are totally peaceful and non-assuming. They are still great hulking men, and females of all ages have evolved to see men as a threat, and the bell clangs even louder when they are larping as ‘women’. That is a trigger.

If a man was standing in a male changing room with a sword, men in that changing room would be triggered, and rightly so. So it is for women who see men with their tackle on display in inappropriate circumstances and places. They fear sexual assault on them or their children. That is just how it is, and the daft wee lassies who think they are being ultra cool by ignoring the warnings neither do us all any favours nor have lived long enough to have been routinely sexually assaulted, either raped or just fondled without consent, as most women have at some point in their lives

Decent men know this is the situation and steer clear of women’s and children’s boundaries. The larpers appear to have a screw loose somewhere on this issue, and I include the old-style transsexuals. They seem not to understand that their comfort and delusion must take a back seat to women’s and children’s psychological well-being. We were not put on this Earth for the use of men, as objects to be copied or as foils in a game only they understand. We are fully-formed, thinking, autonomous human beings, not cut-out caricatures to hang clothes on and apply lippy to as a sexual fetish.

To boot, they are starting to invade every female space, and have the nerve to think that they can fool us into believing that they can speak for us. Well, they can’t because they are men. Women cannot speak for men either. Our lives run on parallel lines, and cross over, but are very different and our needs are very different. Most of this latest wave of deviants know perfectly well what they are doing: they are trying to break down our boundaries and those of our children. I have read of a good number of these old-style transsexuals who claim to have been ‘trans’ since the age of two or three. This is nothing more than justifying the abuse of children with puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and other absolute horse manure a la Mermaids, as well as introducing ‘gender ideology’ at a young age.

Lots of children live in a make-believe world that is free of stereotypes, and that is no bad thing, and, not so long ago, youngsters of both sexes roamed free, away from parents and adults, mostly with their peers who taught them to wend their way through childhood. Parents and other adults were there to protect and discipline, to feed and look after and love. Now, adults routinely breach children’s boundaries in all sorts of ways, and it is despicable and totally unnecessary. Many psychologists and psychiatrists claim that Robert Black, the serial paedophile-murderer, single-handedly destroyed childhood.

Queer Theory is a sickening cul-de-sac even for adults, let alone children. Only the powerful, the strong and the dominant get the much-proclaimed freedom – to exploit; the rest get exploited. Almost every philosopher/academic who pushed this stuff was a paedophile or a misogynist or a porn addict. We need to get these paraphiliacs/fetishists out of our schools, out of all public institutions and they need to be defunded and shorn of public monies to preach their perversions.

Pay careful attention towards how things are reported. From the Herald a few days ago.

“A reasonable and measured exploration of transgender issues and feminism by most accounts, it resulted in Ms Stock resigning from her position at the University of Sussex after a student campaign calling for her dismissal.”

Kathleen Stock resigned after the police advised her to hire bodyguards because they could not guarantee her safety within the university grounds. Posters had been put up with a photo of her with crosshairs imposed over it.

The whole gender identity ideology originated in the US & in particular the campuses of colleges.
It has largely spread in English speaking countries.
It is undoubtedly fuelled by social media & the disproportionate influence it gives to activists.
I still can’t understand why a twitter storm should count for anything.
Overlay the influence of Stonewall etc & the desire of politicians to virtue signal to the liberal media etc etc etc
The good news is that it looks like it’s reached peak in the US & is on the wane – see latest USSC decision on positive discrimination in college selection & troubles of Bud Light & Disney in the commercial world.
We’ll undoubtedly follow in due course but unfortunately a lot of irreparable damage is being done by this cult.

“Matt Quinn: whilst I would wish no harm, and a speedy recovery, to your friend, my compassion for these larpers is all spent.”

…Colleague I said; someone who is in the orbit of a professional circle. A person who as far as I can established has never done any harm to anyone, or forced the issue upon anyone else. Indeed; it wasn’t until they were forceably ‘outed’ by a malicious party that the penny dropped for most of us. – A person who has dealt with whatever life issue they had by engaging with a rigorous process (both psychiatric and surgical) which most of us find absolutely horrific.

While you wish them no harm; harm has been done to them (not by you, obviously)… primarily by the Trans-Activist lobby who seek to denude that process of its rigour, and conflate those so driven with mere paraphiliacs. But also those who have ‘fallen’ for the conflation these paraphiliacs promote; and by fallen I mean on either side of the divide.

I can assure you that my colleague would broadly share the concerns (and has been heard to express) that you do. One of the key issues (for example) I have heard them vocalise being that so-called ‘gender reform’ proposals actually undermined the resolution (albeit imperfect) that medical science has to offer to their ‘condition’.

“…and I include the old-style transsexuals. They seem not to understand that their comfort and delusion must take a back seat to women’s and children’s psychological well-being.”

I’m not qualified to pontificate on a whole group of individuals – certainly not any group I’m not a part of. Nor, it would seem are the Trans-activists who have clearly done such great harm and engendered such a (frankly well justified) level of distress and consequent fear.

For the most part I do agree with the points you make… but (respectfully) suggest that such is the level of distress that the paraphiliacs have induced – you’re rather illustrating my point for me. Even where transexuals express an awareness of their unusual position and seek to distance themselves from those men who are causing the problems – they are shouted down by both sides. – Divide and rule it seems.

Most of LGB supported Trans, in line with Stonewall and despite the fact that Stonewall Youth Scotland had been a cover for a disgraceful paedophile ring right here in Scotland.
LGB only started backing off when they realised that the Scottish public had been shaken from their cowardice and lethargy by the obvious future dangers to their kids and LGB realised they were about to be equated with Trans in the public perception.

A tactical retreat and the whole social shambles started with the legislation in favour of Homosexual Marriage.

The late manoeuvres of the banking system, social media and various public service bodies in stopping bank accounts, DE platforming and sacking anyone who will not accept the social madness, or will not take the “establishment side” should be a stark warning of what is in store for humanity in the not to distant future.
It is simply an exercise in mind control. Make them believe the unbelievable and they are in your power for ever.

Spoiler alert, if you’re planning to watch ‘Succession’.

Towards the end of the final series there’s a scene where Roman goes to Hollywood to have a showdown with a very senior executive who happens to be a rather androgynous female (I think) and it all goes a bit Pete Tong when she says her studio has ‘certain values’ to promote. Roman doesn’t like her tone so sacks her anyway, but that phrase stuck in my mind. (I don’t believe the ‘values’ had anything to do with him firing her but I might be wrong.)

If you think back over the big-budget ‘box-set’ successes since Amazon and Netflix really took off, it’s hard to think of one that doesn’t promote non-straight storylines, sometimes jarringly so. I’m thinking The Sopranos, The Last of Us, ’24’, Severance, The Wire, and I’m not even that keen a telly viewer. There must be plenty more. And from the brief snippets I’ve had to endure of some ‘Yoof’ TV drama, it’s just a screeching jumble-shop explosion of weird hair, weirder make-up, and non-stop gendertastic tantrum-throwing.

Discussing this with a friend who is a TV/film producer, he said yeah, if you include such ‘unconventional’ characters in your original pitches then you’re more likely to get seed/development dosh. The corollary is obvious.

this orkney independence is being taken more seriously by the media than one might think

– tell you one thing, if I had to be in forced union with any other country I would choose the norwegs – let’s have Scotland join Norway – call it the North Sea Union and fuck England. Will the media take this seriously? I could see the fast catamarans running hourly between Bergen and Aberdeen (until the Norway-Scotland tunnel gets built).

Scottish indpendence is a real thing because we have a history, we were before, we were cheated out of it, but we will be again … it annoys me the way people think “self determination for all peoples” (except us) is a moral absolute – so we get all these stupid non countries … “new scythia” for example, “kosovo”, “israel”, then we have ridiculous support for e.g. the kurds (kurdistan, if it comes, will need to take lots of territory from 3 other countries and be landlocked, surrounded by enemies, not ever viable)

So it’s not a crowning tomorrow, he’s just being “shown” the Honours of Scotland. Same as his ma 71 years ago. That was the same year she returned from a seven month world tour and publicly shook her 5 year old son’s hand on being reunited with him.

Aye, families don’t come much more dysfunctional than they Windsors. And that’s with the royal weans not being taken to see trans pride parades.

Anyway, the BBC are billing their coverage as “A Scottish Service of Thanksgiving and Dedication”. So the Scottish crown once worn by Bruce is again deliberately downgraded by the English establishment and Scotland’s colony status continues.

Thanksgiving is an apt choice of word though, since the BBC is an absolute turkey.

Orkney could vote for independence but they cannot vote to leave Scotland/UK and Norway at the same time.

South Ossetia held a referendum in 1992 to leave Georgia and join Russia. Only a few dozen voters voted no. But the UN refused to recognise it because you can’t do that for various reasons. They would need to vote for independence, gain UN recognition and then hold a subsequent referendum.

Somewhat similar tale for the indigenous native nations of Quebec who wanted to leave Quebec and join (remain) with the rest of Canada at the time of the Quebec referendum. It was a no no.

It should also be noted that should Orkney ever vote for independence from Scotland they would, under international law (UNCLOS) only be entitled to a 12 mile limit of sea since they would be counted legally as an enclave on Scotland’s continental shelf.

I think I can safely say without naming anyone that the first two on the list were Tory MPs, no surprise there, but the third was a prominent Labour MP. There were also another two prominent Labour MPs towards the top end of the list.

Big difference there, Westminster is an English government from another country. In a voluntary Union that never included it’s territory. It’s why, even after 300 yrs + we remain separate & distinct & with our own crown institutions.

Orkney is Scotland’s territory. It doesn’t belong to the UK. It belongs to Scotland. Any Independence they seek would have to be sought directly from Scotland. They had that opportunity in 2014 by voting YES. Instead they voted No which has (as was said at the time) chained us all to the UK. The yoons really did a number on them. Salmond was gifting them options in an indy Scot. They rejected it.

Do they not realise too that Holyrood is a mini Westminster with pocket money that must be spent a set way? No overspend, no borrowing, no prospects.

I dunno what they were thinking. Brexshit was a certainty too so a double shafting for them on behalf of the lying lib dumbs.

They’d have thier Independence with Scotland’s blessing. They chose to vote No in Scotlands referendum so severed that option.

Its a whole lot of nothing. Aany FM who signs off on Orkney leaving Scotland, while we remain locked in, their life wouldn’t be worth living.

It is Scotland’s territory, not the UKs. It’s Scotland’s to decide what bits they give away.

Yoons are just fishing for Dumbza cause he’s as thick as shit & can be played like a fiddle. His response should be that they should’ve voted YES in 2014 & then had its own referendum directly with Scotland. They chose not too, boohoo.

Or tell them aye – right after Manchester & Cornwall have a referendum to leave England.. those are regions too, a particular problem England has always had with seperating what is a Country & what is a *region* of that country.

Try looking at a polling map. The only areas that have a majority in favour of Scots Indy are Glasgow, parts of North Lanarkshire, West Dunbartonshire, Dundee and that’s pretty much it. The shitty and bitter parts of Scotland, in other words.

I’m not surprised that Orkney might want to seek a different future from the sort of lunacy that the Scots Indy movement is offering. You could probably wrap most of the rest of Scotland into that.

SNP has destroyed itself. Party policy on independence is misrepresentation of Scottish Sovereignty.

First, it was the repeated IndyRef2 lie!

Now we are to believe, a minority of votes (seat count) is to deliver independence. The question of Scottish Sovereignty, openly abused, as a political football, to be punted in any direction that best enables SNP to be elected on a false premise!

Independence hijacked, to the sole benefit of SNP and exclusion of all others, a deliberate ploy to maintain the status quo and minimise responsibility via existing devolved colonial arrangement.

As others have said she’ll be aiming for a new career in the media world while the going’s good, knowing that she’d have failed to get re-elected anyway. Between writing guest articles for the New Statesman she’ll be appearing on every London tv show she can.

You (and ‘unionist’ elites) propose the partition and dismembering of Scotland – on the basis of disquiet with current colonial administration?

Partition – the final malicious act in the colonizer’s magic box of hoaxes (following the ‘Union’ and ‘Britishness’ hoaxes).

Partition – that worked so well in Cyprus, India, Palestine, Ireland, much of former colonial Africa, Mid East etc.

Partition – the final act of a peoples procurer, intended to mess them up for daring to become liberated.

But lets not leave Westminster out of it, the Tasmanian Holocaust wiped out everyone bar a handful of indigenous folk who were then deported.

Of late Westminster forced the Chaggossian peoples from their islands with threats, violence and intimidation to allow the US to have a airbase and torture dungeon on one of their islands, (Diego Garcia) many Chaggossians died due to the lack of hope, and even though the surviving chaggossians won their case against the English government of the day, Westminster refuses to allow them to return home.

Interesting.

When the usual suspects start banging on about ‘the only democracy in the ME’ and all that jazz, worth reminding them that Gaza isn’t even the same size as Arran, it’s 20% smaller.

‘The population of the Gaza Strip is estimated to be around 2.1 million people, according to the United Nations. The majority of the population is Palestinian, with a small minority of Israelis. The Gaza Strip is a small, densely populated area, and the population has been growing rapidly in recent years. This has led to a number of challenges, including poverty, unemployment, and a lack of resources.

Here are some more details about the population of Gaza:

The population is growing at an annual rate of 2.91%, which is one of the highest in the world.
The majority of the population is under the age of 18.
The unemployment rate is high, at around 45%.
The poverty rate is also high, at around 55%.
The Gaza Strip is a densely populated area, with around 5,000 people per square kilometer.’

…For clarity; while there are Indian (as in parent/grandparent actually from India), South East Asian (specifically Hong-Kongers) and all sorts of European kids in the area (and thus various cultural nods and incorporations) there are no ‘American’ families around that anyone else knows about. …This is just one ‘Septic’ seeking to impose something irrelevant upon us; all the worse because they don’t understand the wider implications of what they’re promoting.

The betrayal of using indyref votes to transfer to the Greens *nonce & perverts charter* won’t be forgiven.

Neither will zero challenge over the Supreme Court.

Neither will the row back, after 8yrs & is it 10 mandates (?) to inform us they’re now cheerleaders for devolution & they’re now Better Together, the Scottish version.

Neither will the absolute farce of fawning over the man child king while giving Scotland’s stone without a single wish list prepared for our compliance.

Neither will the rejection of Ash when an indy route was on the table & still aren’t backing a United Scotland ticket.

Neither will the scenes in parly where women were locked out thier own toilets or ejected from the building for wearing the suffragette colours.

Or the embarrassment of having a section 35 triggered on behalf of deviants & kiddie fiddlers.

Neither will Dumbza. The fake FM. A betrayer of Scotland for an English invite to London. A *new* Scot who fcked Scotland over since day one in office. Vote for this guy? LOL!

There is absolutely zero reason to vote for them. Especially when they are suspected criminals & the instigators still haven’t been publicly expelled from the party.

The rats are jumping ship. They can leave now or be totally humiliated on national TV as the results are read out loud from GE. Or when they start to see colleagues cuffed & read their miranda rights on the way out for stitching up Salmond. lol!

As the saying goes there’s fck all honour among thieves. They’ll all write a book ratting on one another if the polis don’t get the scoop first.

The next indy FM must table a ref on the royals to have them ejected from Scotland. It’d be a nationwide educational program for the house jocks to realise that he is thier equal & not thier superior.

Robert Hughes,

enough about me.

Have you worked out yet that an iScotland would have, quite literally, the oldest population in Europe? The lowest proportion of workers to pensioners in Europe? A benefits dependency exceeded only by Italy and Greece?

Those are facts. And nobody at all in the Indy movement has a plan to address them.

It’s called economic suicide.

Geri

We wouldn’t be by the time the rUK pensioners all fck off back to the pensioners loving utopia of Little England where they’re charged for being old.

A population of 5 million will be minted just as Norway is.

Little England on the other hand, won’t be. They’ve nothing to trade with & will have very few friends once thier cash cow has been removed & even fewer to care for thier pensioners with their hostile environment to immigration.

Role reversal won’t work. We already pay in way more than we get back. Fact. Yer really just pushing the 10 yr old myths of Bitter Together that’s been endlessly debunked.
We won’t be living on our pocket money we get back.
Scotland’s spending decisions will not be the same.
We’ll be in FULL control of our own resources.

They’re never running out.

@ A Scot Abroad at 12.24pm:

It wasn’t Scots or any party we voted for who destroyed Scotland’s industry and brought about endemic mass unemployment and poverty, it was Tory governments repeatedly imposed upon Scotland with no democratic mandate by English voters that did that; a party that Scots have rejected overwhelmingly over many decades.

If Scotland is in a mess, it’s due to the fact that we are powerless to do anything about anything so long as we are part of the UK.

Geri

Nice wee racket going on indy live lol!

A Scot Abroad

Geri,

how’s the population of 5 million going to be just as minted as Norway?

The renewables ain’t going to do it, as everyone within 1,000 miles has the same resources. It’s not the fish, either, because there’s not enough of them, being 0.2% of Scotland’s economy. It’s not the oil and gas, either, because the world is going off that, the infrastructure is being removed, and while the price paid is the same, the profit margins are low for Scottish product.

So where’s this magic money that’s making Scotland minted coming from?

Meanwhile, Scotland has the lowest proportion of workers to pensioners in the entirety of Europe, and the third highest benefits dependency ratio. Do you see where that’s going?

Geri

Scotland, under the Union, imports pensioners & exports talent.

That cycle would be crushed.

The clearances never ended, you fool.

It’s normal to return to Independence. The Union has been one massive FAIL & only served the coloniser.

We’re a colony with no parliament, no control over our resources, our immigration or our spending.

That’s about to change. The English government have no control over Scotland. None. It ends the internationally recognised treaty which the law & international law recognises.

A pretendy parliament with reserved control won’t cut it either.

Because Scotland is a country who is being shafted of its wealth & the English have absolutely no right to deny it’s Independence.

Geri

Michael Laing

Absolutely.

The more these roasters go on about how shite Scotland is the more they highlight the Union has been a complete FAIL.

Imposed poverty & a toxic dumping ground not just by the blue Tories by by the red & yellow eejits too.

If fishing was such a shite commodity you’d have thought the whole of Brexshit didn’t revolve around it. Scots don’t typically munch seafood but foreigners do & then there’s the lucrative Fishing rights in Scotland’s extensive fishing grounds.

If the yoons are fighting over it then there’s big bucks in it.

TBH, I think most English would support Scottish independence. Should have let them vote in 2014.

Don’t count on that.

When Scotland removes its consent from the Union there’ll be nothing anyone can do about it as thier mates dessert them as they’ll no longer be representatives of the United Kingdom. They’ll be Little England, a Billy no mates as the world showed them with Brexshit & ejected from International Court of Justice.

Which is where Liberation & Salvo are headed with Scotland’s right to return to being an independent country.

The end of the SNP shouldn’t be mistaken for the end of the YES movement. We’re just getting started once the enablers are ejected from Holyrood.

Stay tuned!!

Dan

ASA keeps stating that renewable power generated in Scotland’s geographic area would be worthless because everyone within a 1000 miles has the same resources to generate the energy they need themselves.
The trouble for him is the place he stays (England) hasn’t got its shit together to actually be self-sufficient in renewable power, and there is no chance of that situation changing anytime soon as it would take years to plan and build the necessary generation infrastructure required to meet their energy deficit.

“Transfers
To offset the difference between England’s electricity generation and demand, net positive transfers were
received from Scotland and Wales, as well as from continental Europe via the France, Netherlands, Belgium,
and Norway interconnectors (the Norway interconnector came online in October 2021). During 2021, these
sources provided 20.0 per cent of England’s total electricity consumption, up 2.7 percentage points from 2020.
In 2021, Scotland exported 33 per cent of its generation in net transfers to England and Northern Ireland,
down from the record level of 37 per cent in 2020.This was in line with lower generation in Scotland (due to
lower renewable output), though Scotland’s electricity demand also decreased (down 1.7 per cent). Wales
exported 13 per cent of its generation in net transfers to England, up 10.2 percentage points from the 2020
value which was the lowest proportion in the time series. Total generation in Wales has fallen 35 per cent
since its peak in the time series in 2016, predominantly due to the reduction of coal and gas fired-fired
generation.”

And that’s not even mentioning the gas…

link to mip-prd-web.azurewebsites.net

Look at the numbers and the large blue bands on the graph for St Fergus which indicate the live data for flows mostly coming in from gas fields in Scotland’s geographic area.
People also need to comprehend the shear volume of the flow rates these numbers and the graph are actually highlighting and the energy that equates to.
The 3 St Fergus terminals are currently receiving 14, 20, and 26 MCM/per day.

Just 1 x MCM is 1 million cubic meters of gas. 1 MCM is 360,000 therms. 1 therm is 29kWh, so 360,000 therms is 10550558.53kWh. That’s 10.5 million kWh. And remember that is just from 1 MCM, and look again and note the 14, 20, and 26 MCM coming into to St Fergus.

Struggling to see what Norway could do with this dump. They’re a responsible, civic-minded, grown-up, serious bunch, the Norwegians.

Take a look around the Central Belt and see how we compare.

As for Orkney joining the EU – sure, they have lots of assets so the EU will welcome them with open arms. The EU has been scrabbling around to make up the shortfall ever since we left. And they have a humongous war to fight on their eastern frontier.

Why do you think I would care anyway? I’m not an Orcadian, although perhaps I wish I was. Nevertheless, being in the EU is a democratic decision for any group of Scots to make.

Listen to the pros, weigh up the cons, make an informed decision and abide by the result. It’s not rocket science.

And for us hard-of-thinking Scots, maybes pay a bit more attention to the wording of the question in any future referendum.

That’s not rocket science either.

johnlm

Green energy models are very unconvincing. – on cost, reliability, recycling or volume.
Siemens share price recently dropped 36% on news of their turbine failure rates.
Luckily ASA’s friends blew up the Nordstream pipeline (with Norwegian help?) so gas and oil look like reasonable bets for a while yet.

(England) hasn’t got its shit together to actually be self-sufficient in renewable power

Ah Dan, it’s touching to see the power of self-denial in full flow.

The place we all stay (the UK) is getting its shit together to be self-sufficient in renewable power.

The only reason you can’t accept that reality is that you are deceiving yourself about the reality of the UK.

And also, the turbines and distribution infrastructure, which has to go somewhere, is mostly in Scotland.

iScotland can have it all when we agree to pay the current owners a fair price for their investments and sell them the generated power at a guaranteed, reasonable, price. Otherwise, rUK will militarise the lot, to the approval of the EU, NATO, the USA, etc.

That is entirely fair and reasonable. If we had ever had grown-ups in charge of the SNP, the mechanisms, costs, benefits and reality of it all would have been household knowledge throughout the UK 5 years ago.

And we would have all been in the situation where we could have made a pain-free, seamless transition to iScotland, retaining the good will of rUK and all the international players we will need.

A Scot Abroad

Dan,

energy self-sufficiency is the name of the game, now.

Sure, England’s been a bit laggardly, but it’s still the U.K.

How much would you bet that England wouldn’t start going gangbusters on offshore turbines if Scotland went doolally and declared UDI, as the lemmings want it to do? Hell, just one year’s Barnett money to the bennies dependent in the central belt would pay for 100 giant turbines in the North Sea. And the next year, the same again. Giant turbines (mostly made in Middlesbrough) are close to commodity items. Just keep knocking them out.

You can’t make Indy on the basis of a one year cash flow. Only lemmings think like that. They enjoy the drop, but maybe not the sudden stop.

The Scottish “government” has been in existence for well over 20 years. In all that time, how many major hydroelectric schemes have they initiated?

North Sea oil and gas’s future is behind it. Scotland is ideally located to compete with Norway on the international hydro-electric electricity export market, but what has the Scottish government done to exploit such an infinite energy resource?

A Scot Abroad

Dan,

John Main is perfectly entitled to his own opinion.

Mine is that Scotland cannot rely upon any other countries buying renewables from it, because they’ve all got the same energy resources, and self-sufficiency is the name of the game these days. Given existing technology, and enough political push in England, there wouldn’t need to be any energy imports from Scotland to England within one year. So it’s pretty fucking stupid for Indy people to think that Scottish renewables exports will build a sustainable economy. They won’t.

“(England).. energy deficit”

Correct me if I’m wrong, Scottish gas volumes via St Fergus based on average UK retail price per kwh amount to £76.4 BILLION PER ANNUM.

That’s quite some colonial plunder to add to all the rest, e.g. oil, renewables, whisky, high energy prices, land, etc…

Dan

Still fishing and quite proud of phone internet skillage between casts…

Hmm, grid connection charges… Wonder how this works out with the new Berwick Bank Windfarm having primary and secondary grid connections in different grid connection charge zones.
Namely the primary being Branxton, East Lothian which looks to be in the £12.84 zone, and the secondary being Blyth, Northumberland which is a couple of zones south and 4 quid less at £8.64.

As an aside, for those with more of an interest in angling than royal pish, I’m going retro on this fishing excursion and using a solid fibreglass rod I bought as a bairn in a pawn shop on Leith Walk in what must have been 1982. It’s fairly chunky stick as it was a pier rod but I use it as my pike rod for tight spaces where swinging a long rod is difficult.
I re-ringed it by whipping on new agate bottom and top rings with plain ones in between. It’s still performing well and my casting is able to land within a foot of where I want it every time.

You only need to listen to Jeremy Hunt on the North sea.

He can’t wait to tell the English how many billions they’re going to plunder from the Scots to keep the English munching jellied eels in the comfort they’ve become accustomed to while shouting at immigrants off the telly…

English parliament.

They have Westminster with 600+ seats awarded to themselves, that was handy eh? Make sure the house always wins in what’s supposed to be a GB parliament to represent..ummmm, GB.

Good point tho – why don’t they have a devolved assembly? Oh, that’s right, they’d have to furnish annual accounts of thier income & expenditure. Jeez, how could they keep that fiddle going?
No – best they just keep pretending someone awarded them superior status in an equal union.

Scotland would be perfectly entitled to declare UDI – what’s the mandates count up to now, 10? Three officially worded section 30 requests & majority of MPs. We’d be entitled because conveniently we’re the other equal part of the kingdom with an internationally recognised treaty that can be terminated on the grounds of no one making England the dominant partner.

A Scot Abroad

Alf Baird,

in addition to producing the dumbest idea in maritime trade of having a trans-shipment port in Orkney, you clearly don’t know how to read figures correctly. Scottish gas production revenues in 2022 were just over £3 billion. And St Fergus is just a fraction of the total.

Don’t give up the day “job”.

I have found it tricky to nail down accurate current and historic figures for the volumes of gas originating in Scotland’s geographic area and connecting into the numerous pipelines flowing to the various terminals located in both Scotland and England. Undoubtedly Norwegian gas does flow to the UK through various interconnections now that some Scottish gas fields have been exhausted after supplying large volumes for decades.
There was significant Norwegian gas flowing into Easington Langeled terminal in England but for some reason that seems to have dropped off to a much lower level in recent months, so possibly more Norwegian gas is making it’s way to UK through St Fergus now.
But there are other pipelines flowing to terminals in England and where that gas originates from needs to be considered.
EG. The SEAL pipeline carries gas from the Elgin-Franklin field to the Bacton Terminal in England.

Another huge producer was the Britannia field. I actually did a few trips there and piloted the ROV during some of the drilling and subsea construction work for the first 8 wells back around the mid 90s.

link to harbourenergy.com

What we do know is that Scotland has about 65% of the UK gas fields and those fields generate approximately 50% of UK domestic gas production.

“What we do know is that Scotland has about 65% of the UK gas fields and those fields generate approximately 50% of UK domestic gas production.”

Thanks for that. This and everything else flowing through a pipe in Scotland can only be properly accounted for after independence. Until then its all colonial booty, Scotland’s resources taken on the cheap and any ‘imports’ back priced high – that’s our colonial reality.

Dan

How handy would it be to have access to past and current data to observe gas flows from fields in Scottish geographic areas.
A bit of searching turns up a couple of articles which contain info about the Britannia field mentioned previously.

An older article from 1998.

link to oilandgasonline.com

A more recent article from earlier this year which states how much gas flowed at the peak in the year 2000 (refrains from singing the Pulp song…). “The peak production was approximately 37.68 thousand bpd of crude oil and condensate and 694.00 Mmcfd of natural gas.

link to offshore-technology.com

Now that imperial (M is roman for 1000) MmCFd (cubic feet) figure of 649,000,000 needs converted to the metric MCMd (cubic meters) (divide by 35) to compare to the live MCM gas data flows in this link. But once that is done it can be seen that the Britannia field was flowing just under 20 MCM per day.

So we are encouraged to explain to our children from a very young age the differences in genders and sex preferences. If we chose not to or consider them too young at that moment the snp govt does it in schools anyway. Mhairi black then bemoans parents who consider this wrong for their children.
We are encouraged to accept all the different genders and sex preference and if we don’t are branded small minded and a bigot. We are encourage to be open with mixing with other genders and sex preferences and if we don’t have more than the “quota” of LbQT+ people in our cicle we are looked down on. If we are openly critical of the lbqt+ we are called bigots and some have their bank accounts cancelled or lose their jobs. We are encouraged to attend pride marches and bring children to show there is nothing different between us all, but when some fecking perv does this in front of kid, parents are shocked and frightened to act it’s the parents fault not the fecking perv or event organisers for stopping it or saying sorry after the event. At what point do people stop apologising for pervs and idiots?

James Che

One wonders Charlie’s position in Scotland,

Officially the treaty of union has not been given Royal consent since its conception. It has Only been presumed,

Officially it is a reproduction of the Seal of Scotlands realm that The monarchy and Westminster use,

Officially it is a political parliamentary union, not the territory inclusive of Scotland,

Officially no monarch is monarch of Scotland,

So Charlie is pushing his luck a wee bit when a major amount of the Scottish population shout, ” Not my King”
