The quiet part out loud
The latest group to come out in public defence of the ostensibly openly paedophiliac “Feminist Declaration” which was signed up to last year by a number of Scottish organisations is the “Rainbow Greens”.
The co-conveners of the Rainbow Greens are two men called Blair Anderson and Eilidh Martin. Let’s meet one of them, shall we?
This is Eilidh Martin.
Those pictures are taken from his old Twitter account. (If you’re curious about what “yiff” means, we suggest Googling it. We also really, really suggest NOT Googling it. “420” is a drug reference.)
He’s a 27-year-old from Bonhill in West Dunbartonshire, and is biologically and legally male, having not attempted to obtain a Gender Recognition Certificate.
He says this is because he doesn’t want strangers knowing “some of the most personal details of [his] life”, which is curious because he doesn’t otherwise seem to be the shy sort.
We’ve spared you some of the REALLY icky stuff, hard as that may be to believe. But we’re sure readers will agree with us that there are definitely no possible grounds for paedophilia concerns there at all.
(There’s no doubt that “QueenYiff420” and “EilidhMax” are the same person, although the “EilidhMax” account has been locked as of today, having only been visible to the public for the last few days.)
And his interests haven’t changed.
Maybe not only that reason, mate.
Scottish Greens leader Patrick Harvie is well aware of who Martin is. He’s had Martin’s tweets highlighted to him many times, but still tweeted approvingly about Martin’s question in the recent BBC Scotland leaders’ debate.
And the Rainbow Greens have their own “manifesto” page on the Scottish Greens website. But only members are allowed to read it.
Which is pretty strange, as manifestos are supposed to be things that you use to persuade people to vote for you, not that you limit to people who are not just already voting for you, but actually members of your party. We wonder what’s in it that it needs to be kept a secret.
They’re also very friendly with the SNP’s transcult youth wing, regularly inviting current and former transactivist SNP officeholders to speak at their events, although nobody ever talks about what happened at them.
(The group hasn’t even identified its recently-elected committee members.)
But whatever’s being hidden, we’re sure it’s nothing to worry over, and the intervention of the Rainbow Greens in the debate on the Feminist Declaration will, we’re certain, reassure voters that everything is above board and fine and absolutely not anything to be concerned about. So we’re not even sure why we’re still talking about it.
It seems the lunatics want to take over the asylum…
You’ve got to ask – why isn’t the content of the last few WOS pages on the front pages of the MSM?
Why are they so protective? Or is it sheer ignorance?
That Rainbow fist is what the Greens and SNP are doing to Scotland 🙁
The Greens should be concerning themselves with ozone not the twilight zone.
Is this the same Eilidh who was at Scottish leaders debate?
Anyone else think that a lot of these men pretending to be women are actually mentally ill?
Oh well, that’s alright then…
Also = & I suspect I’m going to regret asking = what’s the deal with all the Americanisms, e.g., ‘diaper’ & ‘Mommie’?
The stuff that he put up is not normal and I think the police should be chapping his door and asking a few questions. Someone like that should not be speaking to any political party about how Scotland should be shaped for the future.
Kinda makes you wonder what ole Patrick gets up to behind closed doors…no on second thoughts I don’t wanna know, my old ticker might not be able to cope.
Used to give Greens my list vote….never.ever.ever.again.

Mentally ill people rarely act in a way that benefits them. These people are very cleverly manipulating a situation to fulfil their own objectives in life.
The fact that they have abhorrent objectives does not necessarily mean that they are mad. The madness would be if they went out into the real world, like Leith Kirkgate and acted openly.
Their furtive behaviour points to a sense of self awareness and self protection that is usually missing in the insane.
A lunatic is already in charge of the assylum.
The @queenyiff420 account had a patreon link “eilidhmax” in the bio…if’n there were folk with causes to doubt the facematching.
I mean I know you know but you know? link to twitter.com
What a thoroughly poor advert for transgender people this weirdo is.
Hope someone has forwarded this to the Daily Mail.
” Is this the same Eilidh who was at Scottish leaders debate?”
Yes, like it says in the article. BE MORE ALERT.
I think I agree with you Dan Fyfield @ 2.15pm. It’s not necessarily mental illness, it’s fetishism.
When folk talk of returning to a new normal I didn’t realise that included anthropomorphic dog fucking.
Yes, I did Google “yiff”. Yes, I do regret it.
Dan Fyffe even, Dan autocorrect!

“Anyone else think that a lot of these men pretending to be women are actually mentally ill?”
No, they are just wilful sickos with a spectacularly retrograde view of women from 19th century children’s books.
ie. mincing dainty little things obsessed with being “pretty” and screaming at spiders.
It’s beyond belief that Mhari Black is so determined to defend to the death those who actually despise her for not being a “proper girlie” in their fked up world view.
But then Ruth Davidson actively attracted to the Scottish Tories the Orange and far-right headbangers whose views over her sexuality were to put it mildly pre-WW2. There are too many in today’s politics who only see the prize of their own short term advancement, never the long term consequences even if harmful to themselves.

That statement is utter horse shit. Did you pull the research behind it from your arse?

There’s a fair few hard drives the police should be checking within Scottish political and journalism circles.
I have come to realize that Alex Salmond is the only “normal” Scottish politician.
I knew there was a reason I didn’t use Twitter.
Thanks,Rev, for doing the dirty work of digging up this stuff
so we don’t need to.
The public have much reason to be alarmed. The filthy language is disturbing, to say the least.
FGS get us out of here.

No, it was something we discussed at great length on the University course I took, and is often used as an informal rule of thumb when making assessments with fellow professionals.
Of course “mental illness” is a very wide spectrum these days, but I would say I know very few people with enduring mental illness who have not made major mistakes in their lives, which have had a major impact on them achieving full enjoyment.
There is a plethora of literature for you to explore on the world wide web. Unless, of course you already have. Anyway, I don’t want to take this off topic any further, as that would not benefit anyone trying to take these people down for the wrong ‘uns they are.
Are you planning a rebuttal to the Ferret article Stu?
I read it and thought it had very little substance.
This is abhorrent. It’s not often I struggle to put into words what I want to say but this cretin has achieved that.
After the filth, I went back to the top and reread the “statement”. I would expect this “Rainbow Green” support to be very quickly and clearly declined. If it’s not, I can only conclude that the other organisations share the same mind set and morals.
Disgusting though it is, keep going on this. I don’t know a soul who would not want to see this rot exposed and ejected permanently from public life.
” Are you planning a rebuttal to the Ferret article Stu?”
Didn’t know it was out yet. I had zero hopes, they’re totally woke-captured.
EDIT: Just read it, and wow, that’s a lot worse than I was expecting. It’s just a joke site now.
I’m in complete solidarity with Father Ted.
“Down with this sort of thing!”
I’m curious. What do you have to do to actually fail vetting to join a political party these days?
Seems anything goes, except for antisemitism and being Alex Salmond.

Well Scotland – only one Party in Scotland appears to represent the 99.95% of people.
Is this the Independent Scotland you hoped for.
Green voters thought they were helping safe the planet. Instead they are supporting Queer culture.
Labour voters do you really, really think Johan Lamont was wrong?
SNP voters would you prefer 1.1 Million to this group or to Food Banks.
The LibDems outdo the Greens.
The Tories sit quiet and hope nobody asks them the question.
Scotland 2021 – Society shaped to please 0.05% of the population and they are not finished yet.
Debate silenced. The topic unreported in the media. Holyrood politicians funding and supporting.
I haven’t read the comments yet, but the photographs of these men gives me the hebejebes. I’m an old bugger now, but in my youth was popular with the lads. If I come across men like that I would be horrified. What stresses are your young people under?
Parents please talk to your children of all ages. Give them a safe place to be without being judgmental.
I truly admire your resilience in posting this eye-opening exposé, despite you knowing the absolute tsunami of vitriol which will now descend upon you and your blog.
If anyone dare question *WHY* the likes of this perverted conduct should be exposed to the public gaze, the answer is very simple:
These people are putting themselves forward as “political beings”. (That is a fact within the public domain.)
These people and their organisations are receiving vast sums in *cash* from the SNP government. (That is a fact which should be broadcast across the nation, far and wide, by our MSM which appears totally silent on such matters.)
This *WHOLE SUBJECT* does need exposing and not being swept under by the “Wheesht for Indy” carpetbaggers who claim it will all be sorted after independence.
If this is the blatant, in-your-face attitude of these people today, just imagine how they will appear following a possible SNP overall majority.
NO SNP VOTE FROM ME, in *ANY WAY, SHAPE OR FORM” !
More power to your pen, Rev Stuart.

I dont think you are allowed to be a heterosexual male or female either Breeks.
I think the Ferret is just the National in drag.
I’m not so worried about these weirdos, what really worries me is by the next election 2026 this will become compulsory.
If they get into some kind of status with a little political power alongside SNP does that mean nappies are going to shoot up in price?
well I suppose once they have been used it will match the SNP YELLOW!
Is Scotland having a nervous breakdown?

How dreadful what a creepy little specimen. I saw him on the leaders debate and when he asked the question of the panel only Wee Willie responded. Sturgeon pointedly bodyswerved it. She had an-le opportunity to come back to it as did Slater. Tellingly neither did. Sarwar also gave it a wide berth probably knowing how toxic the trans cult has been for English Labour. I actually felt quite sorry for him at the time thinking you have been used as much as the alphabet women. Now we must suspect that Sturgeon who doesn’t miss much opportunity to virtue signal knew something. Either that or she doesn’t really give a shit (excuse ghastly pun) about trans people unless it’s to help queer the pitch of independence.
This country is becoming quite a scary place.we seem to have sleepwalked into a parallel universe.someone save us please.

My afternoon has been expended in a pointless exchange with David Paisley (the crappy gay actor from River City) who is 100% supportive of stonewall and apparently lowering the age of consent.
He says the words don’t mean what they explicitly say.
That level of idiocy can’t come easy.
Still the pile on by his sycophants was good while it lasted……It increased my block list by a shitload.

“Aye, I thought so too. Debunked absolutely nothing and merely asked the organisations under scrutiny for their response to it.
Investigative journalism my arse.”
I went to read the supplied link too.
As you say, a “fact-finding” site, which has the blatant nerve to call itself, “The Ferrett”, never looked into a single allegation, never discussed a single presented fact, nor presented any evidence whatsoever to contradict the Rev Stuart’s blog article. When I owned ferrets in my youth they were very inquisitive creatures, always seeking, always hunting, creatures that would never be really still. (Kind of like Our Host and *THAT* is a compliment!)
*Instead* – the typical red-top heading at the top of the article: A photo of OGH, presented upon a backdrop of a police car and a couple of old dears, one holding her jaw in amazement/disgust and the other nuzzling up to her and asking, “Whae is he, like?”
The article itself is a non-article.
The site itself is a total non-site.
What a total shambles most of the mainstream blogs, *AND* the virulent MSM groups like Twitter turn out to be when simply asked:
“Please let us hear rebuttals/arguments as to the validity of the claims made on WoS!”
“Not a word was spoken, not a sound was made.”
Who were the ‘young babies’ skateboarding crew from the west end of glasgow and who was the leader of their not so secret little peado cult.

Im sorry Stu I can’t for the life of me go through all you posted here. My sincere apologies that you had to endure this to bring it into the open.
Being a teenager & in your early twenty’s is no longer an enjoyable time of flirtations but debauchery.
How sad for the young people of today.
@James
These folk are the opportunists who see loopholes and look for a way to indulge their fetishes. They inhabit dark corners of the internet and inveigle themselves into positions of power and access. Note the tech link as well.
Before psychiatry and the criminal justice system were cowed into acceptance of the broadening of the definition of ‘normal’ some would have been described as having a disorder and some would have probably been on a watchlist.
DSM (the US diagnostic system for mental disorders adopted world wide now – Europe used to use ICD and DSM) was then captured politically and as a consequence has to pigeon-hole ‘disorders’ into categories amenable to medicare and other US insurance friendly terminology.
So why say someone has a difficult to treat psychiatric disorder when you can pass them along to an endocrinologist or surgeon who will affirm and treat their own diagnosis obtained on Reddit or Tumblr ?

On the evidence presented a fair comment
However
“But then Ruth Davidson actively attracted to the Scottish Tories the Orange and far-right headbangers whose views over her sexuality were to put it mildly pre-WW2.”
I hope you can produce some evidence to back that assertion up.
Otherwise you have unwittingly pointed out you are as “mental” as you put it, as that pair above…or maybe you are, secretly, homophobic?
I seem to have been purged
What is also disturbing about these people and their behaviour is why it is tolerated.
If you do google Yiff and look at google images you see a lot of cartoon and animation characters. Every character you can think of from Disney, Simpsons, Family Guy to Frozen etc have been pornified into performing sex acts. I’m no prude & can understand they may have started as immature jokes but kids can google Anna or Elsa etc and maybe find these obscene images on the internet. No company seems to try and stop their use despite copyright infringes.
Anybody who has watched documentaries on Bitchute or Brand New Tube about USA paedophiles will know there are claims about the Disney organisation and others in Hollywood being involved in paedophilia then it leads me to suspect the targetting of children by perverted adults is part of an organised agenda to corrupt & sexualise children

I literally could greet. I wish I had never involved myself with politics- particularly on Facebook and Twitter.
Alba being slaughtered all over social media for the past day or so, so much negativity- enough to put paid to the narrow slice of the electorate, it seemed to garner interest and support from?
I don’t want to vote SNP, I know they will get into government without my vote, I had said I would bite the bullet and vote SNP1 ALBA 2 but, I can’t do it. It’s a spoiled constituency ballot from me.
So, sick of this sh*t.
Can hardly bear to read this filth and finding it almost impossible to believe that this sort of thing is not only tolerated but actively promoted by those seeking – and in fact wielding – power. Yet I do believe it. This is a country where people actually watch genitals being exhibited as entertainment on TV. But even worse is witnessing those who flatter themselves as ‘progressive’ sinking into this morass to prop up their beloved Nicola. They can’t see themselves as the real tools of the far right or that pushing the normalising of extreme porn is to subvert the left. Gramsci would be having a field day.
Enjoy the ‘freedom’ to write – and comment on – such articles.

A quick look at some of the people putting themselves forward for election and reelection to our pretendy parliament I think the reason politics attract these peculiar people is because they couldn’t hold down any other job ,
The kind of job you need to be able to do something , and perform to a reasonable standard by paying attention to what the job entails, and not doing what they want to pass the time .
This type of political play acting and what seems to be the prerequisite of the job is the ability to speak in riddles not really saying anything about anything fk me it’s La La La on fkn steroids with a top up of Prosaic and Valium to keep it interesting .
The biggest laugh is and the joke is on us we are actually paying them to piss all over us aren’t we fkn kind and considerate .
This happens when the Adults leave the room and the children play unsupervised they will do childish stuff when there is no guidance to keep them out of mischief and trouble .
I’ve been banned on twitter for calling out a man who was referring to another woman as trash. So I thought I’d pop over here for a bit of light entertainment.
I now need mind bleach, thanks Stu.
I’m really struggling with voting SNP1 now tbh. I feel they will use my vote as affirmation of their policies and will push the GRA SelfID process through immediately after the election. Unless Alba wins a substantial number of seats, we’re screwed.
I’m really confused now.
If Mhairi Black was to take this guy to a kindergarten to peddle his lifestyle to the littl’uns, I just can’t work out whether he would be overjoyed, or repulsed at the idea of having to interact with actual small children and their dirty nappies.
It makes me sick to the stomach. What the hell has Scotland come to?

I’m going to copypaste this from the previous thread.
Re the Graham Linehan link and re the person who went from being a Green candidate to a Lib Dem candidate and is/was on the board of Stonewalls Trans Advisory Panel. This person had their dad as their campaign mamnager, I believe, until it turned out that their dad was about to be convicted on charges of filming and photographing himself giving electric shocks to a ten year old girl whilst he was dressed as a little girl wearing a nappy. When the Greens sensed that the greater public maybe weren’t quite ready for stuff like this yet they asked this person to leave at which point they tried to sue them for transphobia. The Lib Dems then took this person on as a candidate, they are the Lib Dems, after all. When this person moved on from the LibDems they were given a job at Reddit at which they and their husband ran private groups for people with interests in trans paedophilia and incest. When people complained to Reddit about this they were banned under its doxxing policies, that is the the people who complained. Reddit eventually removed staff status from this person but I think still allows them to run their groups, I may be wrong there.
People think the dark web is where people like this have groups and meet up, it isn’t, it’s now big tech which not only allows them to do so and sometimes makes them staff. We are being dictated to by a tiny minority of what are, in my opinion, seriously damaged people and they get to do this because big tech and the media are behind them and we have to start asking questions with regard to why this is the case.
I’m not going to read the ferret article, since I know it will make me angry. Gave up on them years ago when it became obvious that it was a SNP fanblog, not an Indy one. Same goes for Bella.
He’s a looker, eh? Seems to me, these folk become ‘trans’ as that’s the only hope they have of getting any.
Did anything ever come of John Nicolson’s invitations to appear on his radio show to discuss the burning issues of the day?
This information needs to be disseminated to a wider audience.
If it was I have no doubt that there would be mass outpouring of disgust.
The electorate needs to know exactly who they are voting for and what they stand for.
This is a job that should be being done by the mass media.
Unfortunately the mass media are not up to the task.
This affair is straight out of Southpark.
It will stir up homophobia no matter what is said to avoid implying “gays are paedos” as there will always be people who will use the debating techniques of the anti Albanistas, in a truly homophobic way.
This could get out of hand and scupper any chance of an Indy majority, I hope not.
Hostile attribution bias can distort a person or a groups perception of reality. What we are witnessing arebsigns of trauma.

F*ck me, the Ferrett has the chutzpah to have as a strapline at the bottom of his articles, Good Journalism Changes Things, at least theey’ve not lost their sense of humour.
Christ the Ferret is stuffed with ex-BBC, Herald and Guardian so called journalists. I’d be surprised if any of that lot would recognise the truth if it jumped up and bit them on the arse.
I always said genderism and queerism this would be the death of the SNP.
It’s insidious, and it needs to be stopped.
Alba is an alternative, but if you want a country that you will be proud of, idependence at any cost is not the answer. This shit needs to be weeded out.
These people are already indoctrinating your children with this ideology, funded by the ScotGov. The Cultural Revolution it will not be, it will be a Queer revolution, where any sexual fetishes and pratices are no longer for ‘consenting’ adults but in full sight, where women and girls have no privacy from males who declare themselves to be women. The age of consent will be the last frontier, of that there is no doubt. The attempts to obfuscate and deny what is in clear view in that document is there.
This is not the loonies taking over the asylum, that trivilises what is happening. This is a long term, strategised and well funded approach to embedding Queer Theory in all areas of life. Read the Dentons Document. Please.
@ Robert Hughes at 4.01 re Alba fundraiser.
What do you, and others here, feel about how much publicity Alba Party is getting? In my district the visible presence is all SNP and Libdems.
I don’t have a TV licence nor listen to the radio but the slow response to the Alba fundraiser suggests that the publicity is low and/or adverse. Although I know a lot of us donated to Alba direct.
I emailed my local Yes email contacts [about 40 people] in general terms about this election being another chance for Yessers so we must all get active, and got only two responses – one from a Green asking for my view on Alba demographic and one from an SNP1&2 believer. So I am a bit concerned that the argument isn’t being understood as yet – perhaps because it isn’t being heard.
And STV’s decision won’t help – Alex would stand out head and shoulders above the other leaders if given a chance but STV only offering a one-to-one interview.
I’d love to hear some good news!
Over on Mumsnet, there is a huge thread that discusses the other side to some of these so-called ‘brave’ men coming out as being ‘women’.
link to mumsnet.com
It’s an interesting read but one of the main themes is that in almost all cases, at the heart of all of it, is a deep rooted, highly sexualized motivation behind these ‘transitions’. It typically follows other paraphilic behavior and involves binges and purges but with a tendency to escalate into a dark space.
It leaves the wife / ex-partner often left feeling completely traumatized to the extent that they feel they’ve been strung along for years under a false pretense hence the term trans-widow.
What puzzles – and alarms – me is why these fetishists post about it on Twitter, when there are plenty of private forums they can use. I’ve been on Twitter for years, but don’t remember seeing any similar posts from people graphically discussing the vanilla (non-fetish, nothing to do with icecream!) sex they’re enjoying.
They seem to have no sense of privacy (perhaps because they’ve grown up on social media where everything is on public display) and moreover think their kink is normal, because everyone in their little bubble is the same.
More worryingly, this seems to be a drive to make extreme sexual fetishes appear the norm to children and teenagers. I really hope I’m wrong.

“You’ve got to ask – why isn’t the content of the last few WOS pages on the front pages of the MSM?
Why are they so protective? Or is it sheer ignorance?”
To answer your question, Brian Doonthetoon, as to “why isn’t the content of the last few WOS pages on the front pages of the MSM?”:
Well, Brian, there is now a strict rule and regulation in the whole of the UK media. including in previous “Red-Top” tabloids which once prided themselves on exposing perverts and perversity, that no longer shall “kinks” be exposed.
To post such stories would make the kinky people feel guilty and they have absolutely *nothing* to feel kinky or even guilty about, because in today’s UK, and especially as reinforced in today’s Sturgeon’s Scotland:
“ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING AND *EVERYTHING* SIMPLY GOES!”
*You*, Brian Doonthetoon, must re-educate yourself to be accepting of what you might think to be “perversions”, but in fact are simply another way that “different people” express their true love, especially if they are “in love” with adolescents – i.e. persons aged between 10 and 19 years of age, as often patiently explained by the people who know best for all of us. You must trust us, Brian, and *don’t forget to vote SNP – BOTH VOTES! This result will help us to reach our promised land.
Brian Doonthetoon, if you cannot really and truly understand this love of a pretty fat and ugly, old prevert for a young lad (or lass) of mebbes 10 or 11 or even 12 years, perhaps you are too thick to understand, so you may excuse yourself from the discussion.
BUT DO REMEMBER! BOTH VOTES SNP CUM MAY!

I’m in the same situation. Given the pandemic I’m sure money is tight for a lot of people. With Martin Keatings, Now Scotland, Craig Murray’s, Mark Hirst’s and Manny Singh’s fundraisers it’s been a busy few months for worthy causes.
Alba gets a lot of exposure here but I’m not sure the secret has leaked out to a wider audience so I thought a bit of nagging here would shake a few more coins out of the money tree.
Not an activist, just a member and concerned citizen. Thanks to all who donated. I’m sure it’s very welcome and greatly appreciated.

Had a look at that “Ferret” job.
This bit stood out in particular as a non-fact/fact check:
“Additionally, IGLA World told Ferret Fact Service that it does not advocate paedophilia, and that the interpretation of the Declaration promoted by the Wings Over Scotland is “false” and “obtuse”.”
Well, derrrr!
Of course they do not advocate it under its generally understood definition. But what they obviously do want to do is change that definition, so therefore what would count today would not count later because it not longer fits the definition.
So clever. In their heads, apparently.
But stuff like this always reminds me of that South Park episode about “NAMBLA” (which also happened to be the acronym for the “North American Marlon Brandon Look Alike” group meeting at the same venue). There is a classic scene at the end where the NAMBLA guy gives an impassioned speech about what they are all about and at the end one of the kids says: “Dude, you f**k children.” or something like that.
Classic satire – not comedy, satire.
Eilidh should just be told, calmly but firmly , NO.
Based on average daily contributors and average contributions per donor Alba looks like meeting the target of £50,000, if not exceeding it. Also the average donation per contributor has been steadily rising over the last few days. It has now crossed the £40.00 mark. Not bad going IMO

The whole point is to have it our faces. To normalise it. That’s what Queer theory is. They won’t mock you for being a prude if you object. They will call you a *PHOBE if you object. They will call you priveledged if you object. After a while, after being called a phobe by your peers who have already capitulated, you will shut up.
That’s why.
The fetishists don’t want privacy. The autogynephile cross dressers don’t want a third space. They want you to collude in their fetish. They need you. You are their prop.
Submission and capitulation, nothing else is acceptable.
The only reasonable explanation I can think for for all this is that , bit by bit Our Parliament is being encouraged to turn into a laughing stock.
If all of those candidates who ( or who are claiming to ) buy this nonsense got a seat in May…
What would Holyrood actually look and sound like ?
The ultra Woke would form the Scottish Goverment and the British Party’s in Holyrood do not ever stand against the mantras and aims of Queer Theory at all, they wave it on through.
Even now in the middle of an election the British Party’s don’t use such an open goal ( well not yet anyway ) to even try to win some votes away from their competitors.
The British Media too , who are notorious for sleez … yet not a one of these well documented stories make it into their sphere…..
Are the bulk of the Scots no ment to be small c conservative ?
Are the papers no ment to be struggling to sell their copy?
Yet time after time ( even when the grunt work has been done for them ) they fail to spot this stuff and publish it . Or bring it up at interview … the political destruction of Jo Swinson demonstrates just how easily done it would be to dent the SNP and Greens votes.
Yet the MSM seem to be all on the same silent page when it comes to putting distinctly Trans Rights obsessed nutters into our Parliament !
Is that the aim here ?
Our Parliament to become a joke and full of MSPs concerned only with Fetish and Kink or worse , that most of Scotland would “cringe” at….
Because that’s a Parliament that would indeed be no threat to the Union, and what fun the British Media would have with Scotland then I fear !
All the while Westminster is quietly dilaling back the cray,cray on this stuff and seems to be many years away from any MPs as “openly” full on with this nonsense.
They wouldn’t have to be anyway…..they would just need to come to Scotland to be indulging in a wee bit more than blasting Scottish wildlife to bits….

They are autogynephiles – it’s a sexual fetish. I understand that people cannot help what “turns them on”. What they can do is help what they do about it.

‘Because that’s a Parliament that would indeed be no threat to the Union’.
Holyrood has given Scotland all of the following:
1. Lowest IQ in the UK
2. Lowest educational standards in the UK.
3. Lowest adult mortality in the UK.
4. Increasing suicides
5. Increasing use of foodbanks.
6. Highest drug deaths in UK.
Recent experience shows we must now have the worst performing legal service in the UK, too. Are you happy with that?
OT but re the HCB.
About a year ago during the campaigning for the US election a journalist secretely filmed one of Bernie Sanders campaign staff whilst having a conversation with them at a table at an outside cafe/bar. During the conversation the subject of gulags came up and the staffer said that they had been deliberately given a bad name by the CIA and that they were re education camps and that no one who went into one didn’t deserve to be there. They also gloated at the prospect of ‘millionaires’ being in them in USA and being put onto hard labour chain gangs, basically, the fact that Bernie Sanders is a millionaire not appearing to trouble them.
This is the type of people we are dealing with here, if they thought they could get away with putting us in camps for disagreeing with them they’d do it in the blink of an eye.

Peter roberts @5.07pm.
Thank you Peter for that very informative link.
This is a very revealing chapter from that report.
“As you’d expect of a report co-written by the staff of a major law firm, it’s a comprehensive and solid document, summarising law, policy and ‘advocacy’ across several countries. Based on the contributions of trans groups from around the world (including two in the UK, one of which is not named), it collects and shares ‘best practice’ in ‘lobbying’ to change the law so that parents no longer have a say on their child’s legal gender.”
In the words of the report:
“It is recognised that the requirement for parental consent or the consent of a legal guardian can be restrictive and problematic for minors.'”
You might think that the very purpose of parenting is, in part, to ‘restrict’ the choices of children who cannot, by definition, make fully-informed adult choices on their own. But that is not the stance of the report.”
“Indeed, it suggests that ‘states should take action against parents who are obstructing the free development of a young trans person’s identity in refusing to give parental authorisation when required.'”
“In short, this is a handbook for lobbying groups that want to remove parental consent over significant aspects of children’s lives. A handbook written by an international law firm and backed by one of the world’s biggest charitable foundations.”
These creeps and weirdo want to have a say over your children whilst blocking the parents out, and destroying the family unit in the process.

Twitter don’t do anything about the peado accounts or posts. They are fully aware of them.
However, if you post that sex is immutable, or call a man who self identifies as a woman ‘he’, that transgression will earn you a permanent suspension. And they do nothing about the rape and death threats that women receive day in, day out

Oh really. Scotland’s IQ was doing just fine until you arrived and lowered the average.
What a seriously racist thing to say.
Here’s a wee fact for you. The establishment were pissed off for years, because the secondary school – Nicholsons Academy, in Stornaway, for years sent more pupils to Oxbridge than the fancy private ones like Eton. And those pupils went there on scholarships, not the purse of their rich parents.
Away and fix the corruption in Westminster, it’s been going on for 100’s of years, oh but of course, it’s OK when it’s British / English corruption. It’s only something that needs ‘fixed’ when its Scottish – according to your mindset.
The Greens: Salmond is creepy and should cancelled for cuddling someone after a few drinks OMFG!!!
Also the Greens:
I’m glad people are finally getting their eyes opened over this issue. I’ve been following various activists for some time now and I’ve found it very difficult to get people to believe me when I talk about this.

Ironically , I tried to join the SNP a few years ago but for some reason I was unable to get passed a certain point in the process , maybe because I’m currently living abroad though my credit card is registered at my Scottish address , not sure exactly , maybe their tech was naff : but given how things have panned-out , the disaster Sturgeon has wrought on a once admirable Party , it’s just as well .

Asserting as fact that Holyrood has given Scotland lowest IQ in the UK.
/
1. It is a lazy modernism that lists things as fact when in fact they are mere opinion
2. The listing of an opinion as fact is a backhand way of trying to give the opinion more weight
3. There is no proof given that there is any causal link nor is it feasible that any such sole causal link can be asserted
4. There is no source given where this finding is shown
5. IQ tests are not taken routinely and not over time and so the collation of such data is not recoverable
eh…. no it’s not Capn Y . Gaslighting is making someone believe they are mad , or at least , deluded , for believing something that is actually the case
There is a secondary school in Perthshire. 2 years ago a female pupil wanted to self identify as a male.
The school enabled this, including changing her name to the male one she adopted on all her official school documentation.
Her mother only found out when she received a school report about a year later. When she challenged the school, they said that legally they had to do so, including not disclosing the name changes, so as not to breach the child/young persons confidentiality.
The young person was 15.
In addition to this, the parent could not get information from the GP as to whether or not puberty blockers were being adminstered. The Doctor ‘was not allowed’ to disclose this information.
It is not that the above proposals are scary and a really bad idea. The problem is these policies are now in action.
When I was a teenager/young woman – there was a right of passage that you went through.
Having been brought up to be kind and polite, on entering the adult world, there came a point where polite ‘I’m not interested’ messages were being deliberately ignored. And you had to learn to tell the bloke in no uncertain terms to ‘F^ck off’, justifiably so.
Quite a lot of this indoctrination appears deliberately to over ride this, and deprive woman of this tool in the toolbox.
The other tool in the toolbox was to trust your instincts, and if it looked, talked, and acted like a ‘creepy barsteward’ – you trusted your instinct.
I don’t think the SNP or the Greens are going to do at all well in the upcoming election. And for the SNP I think they will be an utter shadow of themselves in 3 years.
This cat is out the bag. You cannot mess with children and womans safety like this.
The Olympics are coming up, once people see, males pretending to be woman, stealing all the medals, the issue is not going to go away.
One thing, if one country can stand up to this, it will gain international support.
For those elected reps within the SNP – this is a genuine safety issue regarding woman, children, and corruption in the allocation of public moneys.
You really need to find your moral compass, your spines and your voices. Now would be good.
This might be a strange question but how many Trans , homosexuals or other types sorry I can’t keep up with the latest fads or deviations from ordinary normal people ,
But just exactly how many people are we actually talking about 1000, maybe 10000 or even 100000 , to be perfectly honest I haven’t a clue ,it must be a fair amount to be getting all this attention and what’s more all this government funding , I suppose it’s going to a good cause I mean the SNP government wouldn’t spend our taxes on frivolous pet personal projects would they ? .
ALBA’s had enough of these creeps weirdos and sickos, and so should we.
“THE Alba Party says it has reported Holyrood candidates from both the SNP and Scottish Greens to the police over tweets they allege threatened violence against their female members.
Alex Salmond, the party’s leader, said those who threaten their candidates would be “faced down”.
He also threatened to report media outlets who “fan the flames of this disturbing behaviour” to the appropriate regulator.
The news comes after a social media storm erupted following the Alba Women’s conference.”

ILGA World’s statement said it was “appalled that false stories are circulating attempting to imply that ILGA World is advocating to lower or eliminate the age of consent through an obtuse interpretation of a paragraph in a group statement made in 2020”.
How can it be obtuse to interpret “Eliminating all laws….capacity to consent to sex..” as meaning what those words mean?
Is this not a matter for the police?
I’m absolutely not making any defence of the ‘Feminist Declaration’ issues, or negating current risks to women’s rights, but isn’t it generally held that there isn’t any connection between ‘age-play’ and paedophilia?
I notice however that the individual in the article seems to present themself as both an ‘adult baby’ and attracted to ‘adult babies’, which I didn’t think went together. But if they are all consenting adults, that’s their concern and isn’t *of itself* something that impinges on other people’s rights.

You’re wrong. “Gaslighting” comes directly from the excellent psychological thriller “Gaslight”. For anyone else who doesn’t know the meaning, it’s available on Amazon Prime and worth every second of the 1hr 54 mins duration to find out.

2. ‘Scotland is least intelligent part of UK’
3. Professor Richard Lynn said Scots average IQ of 97 was well below England and Wales average of 100.5 and on a par with ROI.
These results were all taken after Holyrood opened, not before.
@Sweep – ‘The psychological term gaslighting, which describes the form of psychological abuse in which the victim is gradually manipulated into doubting their own sanity’. I’m near enough….agreed?

Excellent statement from Alex Salmond on the Alba party website, which includes the line:
“Margaret Lynch [Alba candidate] was defending the rights of women in Scottish society while these keyboard warriors were in nappies.”
Seems like some of them, now adult, are *still* in nappies!

Eh what seriously, I am a self proclaimed old fart.
I am a boring straight male but defend the right of folk to do their own thing so long as it doesn’t hurt anyone or involve children.
This stuff though is off the rail who are these mad fetishists, is that a word?
Some folk including the FM mention that Alex Salmond, who was not convicted and won really nice damages, is not a very nice man. Compared to this group YES HE IS.
Who can stand up for this crowd? Sometimes the jail or a secure ward is the appropriate place.
Sometimes the madness has to be stopped do voters really want to support parties who excuse this offensive madness.
I think rounding the odd folk and their supporters up and putting them out of harms way is the correct thing to do.

You state that you are neither nationalist not unionist – yet you invariably seem to detract from the former rather than the latter. Interesting.
If by IQ you are referring to the Cattell or Binet-Simon indicators. I once watched a spatial awareness test where Aboriginal Australian kids cuffed their white counterparts – so, it depends on what you’re looking for and whether it has relevance to your environmental circumstances.
If you are middle class Caucasian you skew the system accordingly.

I haven’t read the comments yet, but the photographs of these men gives me the hebejebes. I’m an old bugger now, but in my youth was popular with the lads. If I come across men like that I would be horrified. What stresses are your young people under?
Parents please talk to your children of all ages. Give them a safe place to be without being judgmental.
We had to put an app on my 13 year old daughters iPad as she is into anime and had been approached by men chatting her up, the only reason we didn’t go to the police was due to not being sure if she had mentioned her own age but when we approached one 19 year old, and mentioned that according to Scottish law he could be charged for grooming he backed right off.
We still retain screen shots of conversations that no parent should see, I have refused to read them, but it was on apps a lot of kids use and some others you wouldn’t expect to see it like Dischord.
We always gave the kids a bit of freedom but now her iPad is connected to mine and she cannot enter certain sites and she is a normal child with no worries and none of the problems that many kidshave faced.
I would advise any parent to keep an eye on kids tablets, phones and computers for apps like Amino where these freaks use

I see the Alba Party has come under fire today for defending its women members from online vitriol & abuse. As always seems to be the case, the house journalists involved in reporting this story have conspired to spare us the facts but not their conclusions.
We currently have a situation in Scotland where a devolved government controlled by a confirmed devolutionist and some high profile pressure groups aka “charities” (supported with taxpayers’ money) + the media + the state police + the state prosecutor + the judiciary are all lined up on the same side against the ordinary citizen trying to express their legitimate concerns, a political party struggling to raise £50,000 from a crowd funder and a well known blogger/journalist who provides a valuable public service through his fearless reporting of public interest court cases.
Time to get out while you still can.

You were saying?
IQ tests have not been routinely given to children since the days of the 11 plus.
They are now restricted to some private schools.
Results of such tests are therefore not a representative sample.
And then stretching this unrepresentative sample to the status of a fact and then saying it is caused solely in some unspecified way by “Holyrood” is just laughable.
Then citing Richard Lynn as the source tops it off.

Oh, you must not question or relate this to the real world or its politics. Because then you’re just being hateful and transphobic, or homophobic, or hateful and phobic in general.
Jeez.
OK. Consenting adults can do weird stuff, I can say no and not participate. But why is this stuff being pushed to normalize it?
Why are weird sexual fantasies being normalized? (caged in nappies full of shit until someone releases you, and you come… ehm. That’s not normal sexuality. That’s a weird fetish.)
Why is it always men, or “self-identifying” “women” who do this stuff? Why aren’t the transmen visible in this community (hint: they’re females, i.e. women and don’t matter and have been silenced.)
I’ve had my share of arsehole boyfriends but at least none of them played the victim because they were “women” and womaned better than me.
I’m very angry but I also have to almost laugh. How is this possible, that so many people drink the koolaid.
Whatever happened to material reality and common sense?

Ohhh dear
“A Wiman” is absolutely correct and should be leading Alba.
The answer lies with real honest to God women, they are the demographic of change, and protectors of our children.
These issues transcend politics even Nationalist politics and concern the future of our children and grandchildren.
Alba should turn towards the cleaning up of society especially from a woman’s perspective time to take on those perverts who endanger young lives.
Queer Theory is projected insidiously every time you listen to radio watch tv or surf the net, it is well organised and couched in feel good terms, but don’t be fooled…..as some one said recently “BE ALERT”
Austin Sheridan was AFI (Action for Independence) as far as I knew. I didn’t know he had joined ALBA. He was the councillor attacked on the 19th of September 2014 in George Square. Other than that I know little of him.
He does appear to have jumped to conclusions and taken outraged offence at his misunderstanding of what was said. I have a feeling he was not happy at AFI giving way.

Sheridan is not a member of Alba, he resigned as a nominating officer of Action For Independence. Alba doesn’t need the support of perverts.
OMG… I have no smart comment add – fkn creepshow
Can people spell out the full name of Austin Sheridan when discussing this in case like me people read the thread thinking it refers to Tommy. A required courtesy given the issue at stake i a m sure we agree. Thanks
This quote from Alec Salmond in

I’m sure Alec didn’t mean yesterday!
While all this hoo ha is going on –
does anyone know if the Herald is facing a police investigation into their breach of the data protection regs. by publishing the hacked names of ALBA supporters.
The Herald reported that ALBA computers had been hacked and proved it by publishing a list with private data about some of the new members – including quite a few ‘important’ people within the SNP – thereby breaching Data protection regulations.
Is it criminal behaviour to publish hacked private information?

The article in the Ferret is a fraud. The quality is dire. It is a pad-piece full of generalisations and exceedingly light on facts FFS. What the Ferret does present as impartial journalism is actually bias excrement. To use the CV headline of one of their failed hacks, just a bit of “muckraking,”
Stuart, do you have the unique visitor numbers for that site that appears to self-identify as a fact-checking news outlet with thousands of readers, whereas it is a front for Wokeism with perhaps a few dozen P.I.E., types consuming their hidden content.
Worse, it has the odious creep, Rob Edwards on its payroll. He is the former prize winning literary genius whose career high-point was being in charge of the obituary section at the Sunday Herald.
Rob Edwards, the dead hand of failed journalism.
Someone at the Glasgow Herald weekend supplement had a sense of humour: Edwards was punted to the obituary page cub reporter job as he has the charm of an embalmer.
Sticks his poison pen into your vein, leaves a dose of damage then twists what he extracts into baseless gossip.
The man is to journalism as Covid is to nursing home safety of the elderly.
Being relegated from proper journalism at MSM to a very obscure blog befits the stellar career of a literary impotent, talentless gossip who wasn’t even much use on the newspaper’s hatches, matches and dispatches section.
FUD.

Update on Peoples Action on Section 30
Dear Backers,
While we sit and wait for the judgement of the inner house of the court of session (which unfortunately I cannot give you a clear timescale on but hope it is before the election) there has now been some rumblings from Westminster.
You will all recall that I have been warning about a scenario since this case started, that if the SNP failed to ensure that a bill for a referendum was legal to pass (even if it remained ambiguous) then the UK Government would have grounds to challenge it the minute it was introduced to the Scottish Parliament which would prevent it from getting royal assent. No royal assent means it doesn’t become law, and while the Scottish Government and the UK Government were battering lumps out of each other, the UK Government would simply use that time to modify laws at Westminster to take parts of that bill out of the competency of the Scottish Parliament.
This was based on the fact that it is exactly what the Tories did to Holyrood over the continuity bill.
I told you the only way to ensure a referendum bill was to ensure it was completely competent BEFORE it was introduced so then the UK Government would have nothing to challenge, and as long as the Scottish Parliament got that bill through quickly and before the UK Government could mess with the legislation, it would protect the bill.
Stopping this scenario playing out was exactly the point of the people’s action because by proving the Scottish Parliament had the power to legislate for a second referendum without Westminster’s permission and proving the bill was competent, it would ensure the Tories had nothing to challenge.
Well buried deep in an article today in the national, this exact scenario now seems to be coming to pass and the only people to blame are the politicians at Holyrood who had the sheer hubris to believe that feet stomping would somehow offset a UK Government that has zero respect for mandates, or political precedent, or even the law.
Understand, I am trying to moderate my language, because, in reality, I am absolutely livid, and with good reason.
We should not be in this position, but we are because the politicians were afraid to stick their neck above the wall. It is the equivalent of the weatherman telling someone a hurricane is coming and they should evacuate and the homeowner saying “No it’s not, and if it does come, I’ll just shake my fist at it really hard!”
But yeah…..
This case is now more important than it has ever been, because it’s not just a case of what came before, it’s now a case of it likely being the only way out of the current situation.
“No pressure”, as they say.
As usual, I hope you are all safe and well, and I will update you as we know more.
Sincerely
Martin

@Conan the Librarian – It’s Captain Yossarian of the 256th Squadron. You’re a librarian sir and should know that.
For clarity: ABDL is not paedophilia.
Adult Baby / Diaper Lover. People that roleplay as dependent infants, enjoying the love and attention that comes with that, and people that enjoy wearing (and/or using) nappies (diaper is the American term).
There are many ABDL people. There are many paedophiles. There are many furries. There are many trans people.
Draw a venn diagram. All of those groups overlap. Also overlapping: Doctors, Professors, Accountants, Truck Drivers, Builders and every other profession. Also overlapping: Men, Women, Pensioners, Schoolchildren, Glamour Models, Porn Stars and Male Strippers.
In other words, there’s no correlation between ABDL and paedophilia. ABDL communities put tremendous amounts of effort into identifying, barring and reporting paedophiles, because they don’t want them either.
So Stu, thanks for the continued political news, but DO NOT draw links between ABDL, age play and paedophilia. You would be wrong, and you would be casting aspersions on a community that primarily seeks love and attention and has no actual interest in children at all.
(Don’t however research the correlation between paedophilia and self-declared ‘trans’. Otherwise I’ll be guilty of inciting hatred against a protected group under that new silly law).
ABDL
What next?
Would you like to be represented by someone who gets their kicks by wearing nappies?
Anyone here remember the TV programme “Rapido”, presented by Antoine? That sprung to mind.
This big issue is needlessly proving ambiguous, contentious and divisive.
Given such dire circumstances, why have these groups not explicitly clarified their position/s, as a national priority (the ethical imperative for a cohesive society).
In the mean time, victim Scotland awaits and suffers, ‘THE PAIN’…

Yes Anon, but you missed the biggest Venn Diagram, the one that includes most people, which is…..
*WE DON’T NEED TO FUCKING KNOW*
Keep your fetishes to yourself, and to other consenting adults and all is good
Terrorism is the use or threat of action, both in and outside of the UK, designed to influence any international government organisation or to intimidate the public. It must also be for the purpose of advancing a political, religious, racial or ideological cause.
Examples include:
serious violence against a person or damage to property,
endangering a person’s life (other than that of the person committing the action),
creating a serious risk to the health or safety of the public or a section of the public,
action designed to seriously interfere with or seriously to disrupt an electronic system.
It is important to note that in order to be convicted of a terrorism offence a person doesn’t actually have to commit what could be considered a terrorist attack. Planning, assisting and even collecting information on how to commit terrorist acts are all crimes under British terrorism legislation.
I think this organised bullying, threats of violence, slander, of anyone who dares question GRA reforms, or the above LGBBQ— whatever other letters are in it, I think this is straying into Terrorism laws. I think it is doing it at the lower end of the scale, and for that reason, it is flying under the radar.
That they target women’s place of work and try to get them sacked is deeply intimidating, and most assuredly intended to clamp down on freedom of political expression.
That they repeatedly get people who question this ideology thrown off twitter – I’d suggest comes under the remit of disrupting an electronic system.
No wonder they don’t want juries anymore, they are going to need some very tame judges to enforce the script.
I wonder if Joanna Cherry would not be on sick leave just now, if Nicla and co, had done their jobs properly and stood up for her, when she was being physically threatened to the point of needing Police protection.

@anon
Consenting adults doing what they want in the privacy of their own home hurting no one. Carry one.
Trying to normalise behaviour that is outwith the comfort zone of most people, repeat MOST people, from an individual with influence within a political party with access to young people is not on. Despite what you claim, most people would find the scenarios you describe deeply uncomfortable.
The internet is littered with disturbed individuals promoting their own kinks and trying to shame others, especially youngsters, into normalising them. Like others have said, keep it to yourself.
It seems that NS has checked into the hotel California…..
Problem for her, will be trying to check out.
Daisy Walker
Very true. You need to add John Nicolson, James Doleman, Stewart Macdonald,, the suspended one i forget, Kirsty Blackman, Mhairi Hunter, Rhiannon Spear, in fact 99% of SNP MPs, MSPs, & Councillors.
Anyone voting SNP1 are voting for all these people. Vote Alba if you want but the choice is really Women & childrens safety OR Independence. You’re not going to get both, for some time.
I meant those groups overlap with abdl. It’s unlikely (but amusing to consider) that a truck driving pensioner glamour model may also be abdl.
I also agree that these things are not (generally) public matters. There should be no shame for someone wanting to be looked after and have someone else make adult decisions, but at the same time it’s not a political matter, and the general populace just don’t need detailed photographs.
It’s fine, you’re welcome to describe abdl as a fetish, welcome to choose never to participate, welcome to pursue a kink of your own and welcome to find your own ways to relieve stress. That’s not hateful, that’s not denying people that do enjoy abdl activities, that’s not hurting anybody.
Just like the abdl community. Not hurting anybody. Not hurting children, because every single abdl community I’ve found online explicitly excludes children. Which is kind of my point.
(Another point to consider: 40% of women in the UK are to a lesser or greater degree incontinent. Wearing nappies is far from unusual among more elderly groups of adults)

In 10 years time, if we don’t deal with the current shitstorm (hopefully not triggering anon there), then the Adult Babies are going to be the new ‘Most Vulnerable Group’.
And I know which ‘privileged group’ will be tasked with the arse wiping
@anon.
Nope. You are still not getting the message and are trying to normalise deviant behaviour by bringing individuals with physical illness into it.
Not indulging your fetish anymore. Get your kicks somewhere else.
I am totally shocked. No wonder our young people have so many mental health issues, if they are being subjected to this.
IMHO, the likes of Sturgeon, Murrell, Yousaf and James Wolffe, the corrupt lying criminal Lord Advocate of Scotland, are perverts who have been recorded in compromising situations by the Woke brigade and are subject to being blackmailed should they dare not to follow the Woke agenda.
Why else would Sturgeon have to make a grovelling plea in the middle of the night to a few ultra Wokes who had left the SNP?
She was terrified of being exposed by them, that is why.
The rumour is that Sturgeon has got some super injunctions.
You would only need super injunctions if you were desperately trying to hide something.
For super injunctions to be granted is a sign of the justice system being utterly corrupt.
Neither are the Scots “sovereign” nor is Scotland a free and democratic country.
If we don’t vote extremely intelligently, even worse will come in the next five years.

@SilverDarling you maybe don’t realise how many participants in abdl communities grew up as bedwetters into their teens and/or have adult incontinence issues. There’s a large overlap on that venn diagram.
I’m not ‘trying’ to normalise anything. It’s already normal. I’m not promoting it to children. I’m not asking you to indulge a fetish. I’m not getting kicks from this.
I’m also not going to ask what you do to relieve stress, or to cope with a learning disability, or to ‘get your kicks’, or indeed anything. You see, I’m not planning to mock or deride any of those things, and I’m not planning to link them to paedophilia.
This site did try to do that, and that’s why I felt the need to speak out. If the site stops making that spurious link then I’ll gladly change the topic; I’d prefer not to discuss this either.
Sorry but Jesus fvcking christ. How is it that beast of hell is walking among us, free to say EXACTLY what he is without fear of the pigs doing what should be done, but if I wrote here what response I have for IT I would be arrested, charged & jailed for a very long time?. Anyone who is still going to vote SNP or greens should hang their head in shame, and send your children, niece’s/nephews grandchildren to eilidh and his pals for a play date, make sure you stock up on sudocrem!.

Women are generally incontinent due to birthing injuries.
800 women A DAY die in childbirth worldwide. Although it is undoubtedly safer in Western countries, childbirth is still the most dangerous voluntary thing most women are likely to do.
Most common is scissors or tears to the vagina to allow the birth to continue, with the vagina and anus subequently re-sewn up, resulting in varous complications, as hey, many midwives aren’t that handy with a needle in these days of Primark. Does that bit make you wince a little, potty boy?
Maybe have some sympathy for your mammy, and not conflate women’s bladder control issues with your own – fuck knows what….
Again – WE DON’T NEED TO KNOW
I read the comments attached to the photos printed above and without doubt they at least hinted at paedophilia…these people are sick and as a father of four boys a would like to see them confined to a place of safety, both for themselves and the safety of children everywhere.
I was informed today by one of my customers about the stuff which is being given to very young children by school staff without parents consent. The most vile perverted behaviour described as normal. All this undermining of childhood and society at large is being accomplished under our noses by stealth, we really have to get our priorities right as we are at a critical moment. If the SNP get into power even in a minority, with the help of the greens we will be too late to save our kids.
Would you be surprised if ‘Adult Baby Diaper Lovers’ were given a place in nurseries along side children of the same age as the ABDL’s feel comfortable being? Should the ABDLs be allowed to join in the play, be put down for a nap and have their nappy changed by the nursery nurse?
Would it be against their human rights not to?
Would this be something Nicola Sturgeon would agree with & refuse to fund nurseries that didn’t include ABDL’s?
@Bob Maxwell,
I don’t think disposable nappies such as Pampers are in keeping with the aims of the Green Party. I’m sure Comrade Eilidh is terry towelling all the way.
If Sotland has turned into a banana republic without the bananas,
why have all the chimps in charge not left/
my appolages to the chimpanzee clans.
Additionally, anon seems to be equating the behaviour of a tiny minority of mentally disturbed sexual perverts with the vast majority of the population, which is hetero, has produced and nurtured children and wishes to guide them through the difficult period of puberty without any interference from woke authority.
You cannot equate these two groups, accept the fact that this behaviour is anathema to the majority of society.
David Mellor’s political career was destroyed when his escapades in his Chelsea shirt became public.
Cecil Parkinson couldn’t survive the revelation that his mistress had an abortion.
Now if an MSP has a nappy wearing fetish his position is protected.
I have nothing against people having the freedom to live the life they want but i noticed on brightgreen the uk greens website it says the england and wales greens have voted into policy that people should be allowed to change their birth certificate name fair enough but should also be allowed to change the sex on it and should be allowed to do this with no legal involvement just their own declaration of the change.
This would in my opinion be a dangerous move allowing people to change the name and sex on their birth certificate whenever they choose to do so.
It would be impossible administratively to track.
I will vote SNP and ALBA
Telling people to vote greens in scotland is tricky because of reasons shown above but also because if we vote for greens and they get LIST seats they will want something in exchange for voting with SNP on matters like a scottish independence referendum , what will they want ?
Perhaps this right to chamge your name and sex on a birth cert ?
This man is one sick fuck.
As Denise Findlay have bravely said in her video. Don’t vote Greens.
Vote Alba Party so these deranged predators are removed from politics for good. Not only that but they don’t speak for LGBT either.
It is very dissappointing, that many who are supposedly fighting for ‘LGBTQQIA++‘ rights, have responded so poorly. Rather than actually address the dodgy section of the statement from ILGA, they just deliverately mislead folk by stating that people raising concerns are just trying to brand ‘queer’ people as paedophiles. THEY KNOW fine well, that is NOT what was being said, yet they played that card anyway. Shame on them.
I am gay, and this rubbish by the ILGA needed to be called out. Stonewall Scotland ought to be dealing with this properly, instead of responding with hateful, untruthful nonsense.
This what happens when they adopt the term ‘queer’ (which is extremely offensive to many gays and lesbians – not that stonewall cares) instead of homosexual, or gay or lesbian. “queer’ can mean literally anything (as we see above), and it opens the doors to the world’s biggest creeps to take advantage of it.
David H, I don’t agree, attempts to normalise homosexuality through the indoctrination of our children is just as bad.
David H- I didnt see Denise’ speech, did she also say ‘Dont vote SNP1’ ?
If not, why?
There is not much difference between Greens & SNP
David H at 937pm,
I agree. They really do not speak for many gay, lesbian folk.
The difficulty in raising awareness about this is simply that it is so far out as to barely believable.
Is this another SNP BAAAAAD thread?
The person who’s the subject of todays main post has a fetish and has fantasies but that DOESN’T make them a paedophile. Many people of all persuasions have fantasies and granted, I suppose most people keep their fantasies private, but this person doesn’t.
I get the feeling that the intent of todays post is simply to hold the person up for ridicule and you can’t seriously say that they’re a potential paedophile on the basis of their fetishes or fantasies.
Thought is not a crime yet.
The question for me is why does Sturgeon and her=acolytes support this garbage?

You are the perfect example of what is being allowed to happen in not just Scotland but the rest of the western world, fucking disgusting perverts weildling there way into mainstream society. In my day if you were ever exposed, well,you know the rest.
I lived in China for eight years and whatever you think of the regime there or Russia, you should try and “excuse/explain your disgusting fetishes over there!
I’ve heard all sorts of things explained away by so called “progressives” over the years, but have really scraped the bottom of the barrel, could you go any further?
I live in County Durham (although a Scot) and I know you’ve all been fed the lie, that as “thick northerners ” is the reason both for Brexit and produced the worst result since 1935 for the labour party in 2019….. how wrong you are especially with the GE, we all knew what these perverts have done to the Labour Party with all there LBGTQ + crap plus kneeling down both literally and metaphorically to the vast army of Race baiters employed by the state and/or academia, we know what shyte about six our kids are force-fed in school and basically have had enough, and if you know anything about this area resolved to vote for the lesser of two evils

Here’s a case of a nappy fetishist in Canada who was trying to get massage therapists to indulge his perversion. He claimed his fetish was a disability:
“Several women in B.C. claim they were repeatedly harassed by a Vancouver Island University student who is already at the centre of a human rights complaint relating to his unusual sexual fetishes.
The women contacted CTV News to say they were harassed by Michael Sutherland and claim he wanted to pretend he was a baby and engage with them in mother-baby role-playing.
All the women, who spoke with CTV News on condition of anonymity, are massage therapists who ran home businesses.”

No gender recognition certificate. Elidh M. 27. SHE/Her. Very gay. Computing student.
Public about his diaper fetish to network with other sick child fantasists into diapers.
Thought crime does exist. Because if you don’t validate Elidhs right to be in your space, you make her feel unsafe. Even though she doesn’t have a gender recognition certificate. This publicly visible pervert is at the centre of the Green Rainbow Greens, ‘LGBT’ wing. Similar to the SNPs.
They like to abuse women on Twitter. It’s time these perverts met their match.

Just the tiniest wee bit of research and you could have found out for yourself that Prince Philip was no more Greek than you are.
I was going to explain it for you but WTF, if you are interested it won’t take you seconds to discover his back story. And if you prefer ignorance, then I respect your life choices.
I thought the man’s sense of humour spot on. My reality is that there is no subject under the sun that is not offensive to somebody. So if some humour has to be banned because somebody will be offended, then all humour must be banned.
The choice is a binary one. Ban all humour with no exceptions, or allow all humour with no exceptions.
I sure hope the newly independent Scotland will still allow us to have a laugh. Not going to vote for it otherwise.
Oh well. The Scottish Green Party candidate is NOT getting my vote in May’s election.
SNP for constituency?
The Jury is out on that one.
ALBA for List. Definitely
Ah. So not actual dog fucking. Thank fuck for that. Dog is man’s best friend after all and to.. Never mind.
Throw the ugly old dog a bone
I think Alex Salmond has to make some kind of statement regards advocating we should all be Voting SNP 1 and ALBA 2.
Because apart from my own situation where I will be campaigning for a Sarwar Constituency Vote and ALBA List vote, I was still going to back his plan for a Supermajority.
But recent events are proving difficult for me to agree with Alex on this one.
Because I think all we are doing is making sure Sturgeon has her majority to do as she pleases, and what her and Harvie have planned for Scotland, I want no part of.
So I am coming back to my original thoughts I had before the ALBA Party appeared on the scene, and that was for the SNP to be a minority government so at least most of their perverted policies would never become law.
As I said at the beginning of this post, Mr Salmond has to make a statement regarding his Supermajority idea, in light of the recent disgusting events.
Glasgow Southside,,,

“For clarity: ABDL is not paedophilia.”
For clarity, no one on a politics blog cares a flying fuck about yours or anyone else’s sick weirdo fetishes.
Years ago the fight for sexual liberation was about stopping tabloids ruining people by exposing their private lives.
Now it’s everyone else’s lives being ruined by those with the same mentality of a tabloid journalist determined to ram it down everyone else’s throats at EVERY opportunity, and screaming “prejudice” if they’re not given anything less than our rapt attention and applause, like some attention seeking bairn with the same Spoilt Bastard issues as Greta Thunberg.
I could just about tolerate the explosion of wankers who thought Tweeting what they had for lunch made them special and unique and full of character. But when it gets to the stage of those demanding the right to bore the world to death about what floats their boat without caring less about OTHER’S feelings and minimum boake points, nope, that’s crossing the line between tolerance and coertion.
Oh god this is the same as that Jessica yaniv character from Canada the one that tried to sue salons what refused to wax her balls. Have a look at langley resident on twitter. Yaniv was exposed as a nappy fetishist as well, they got pictures of yaniv clearly wearing nappies under his shorts and reports of him smelling of his own mess walking round the apartment complex.
So is this what all the transsexuals do? Is nappy fetishism inherently linked to autogynophilia?
Elidh is not a she.
He is a man who wears nappies not for incontinence issues but because it turns him on.
More than that he likes to take photos of himself in character publicising his act to as wide an audience as possible.
He wants validation and a pat on the back.
Rather sad.
What did you expect? I knew this was the latest boundary to pushed. Access to the bairns. The Pervy SNP want to bring Scotland down. Well my regional vote is sorted Alba has come out against this nonsense. Constituency vote up for grabs anybody but the SNP will do.

What part of Mr Austin Sheridan don’t you understand like?
Puzzled?
When his full name is used nothing. I was simply asking for that so that people who read down the thread don’t mistake for others. That’s all.
Police Scotland are running a campaign called *checks notes* ‘Get Consent’

I’ve got to admit if I had a child involved in reporting the news – I would be deeply ashamed.
All this only happened because our news outlets and their reporters aren’t worth a damn.
How does gary robertson look at himself every morning ?
I have never heard of any of these simpletons, I have never even seen one out and about, I must ask my sons if they have seen any cause they’ve never mentioned it to me.
I have seen young ladies with pink hair, but I have never seen a guy with a 7 o clock shadow wearing a dress with matching high heels.
I have seen people with rings in their noses, but that never bothered me as I always thought they where either walking advertisements for scrap metal dealers or just plain off their nut.
I remember many years ago a local shopkeeper came out his shop , he looked up the street and was making native indian noises, I looked up the street and I saw something that I had never seen in my town before, there was a mohican with pink hair, I got off my mark, if the renegade was on the warpath I was not hanging around to get set upon, I don’t mind skin heads but I certainly didn’t want to be one.
The next day I asked around if the mohican was still about, but it seems he had disappeared as mysteriously as he came, I wonder if the 7th Calvary got him, well there was a troop of them riding about the town for a while and that seems to be the only explanation of where he went.
Or maybe the black feet got him, they’re not an indian tribe, they where just a smelly crowd of my neighbours who could do with a good scrub down with the wire brush and dettol.
A well, must dash, have to get my eyebrows plucked and my nail varnish done, now where did I put my handbag.
My goodness thas one of the ugliest woman I’ve ever seen. Les Dawson sprang to mind. Just wouldn’t want to change that big lassies nappy or wash out her potty.
@Scott 10:33pm
I read your article Didn’t fill me with confidence. Police Scotland, Police by public consent. 2 of my extended family (Brother and Sister) serve in Police Scotland now. So I have to declare an interest. There is no public consent for the age of consent for sex to be lowered. Do we have to bring our own weapons in to prove the point?. Police Scotland have to stand up to the SNP. They serve the wider public and not the SNP.
The only way to have a chance of cleaning up the SNP is to vote SNP1 and Alba2.
That should give Alba enough leverage for change.
Any other response is saying goodbye to indy in my lifetime.
AS knows his politics so follow his advice.
It’s pretty simple.
Someone who has a sexual fetish for an adult acting like a child is trying to defend a policy which removes the age of consent for kids.
This person gets their kicks from nappies and dummies. Things only children do.
Now someone on this thread is trying to convince us this makes these people, ‘feel secure and loved’.
Sorry but get tae fuck. They get turned on by items relating to children. It’s not OK. There are lines you do not cross.
Stuff like this cannot be reasoned or explained away.
@David Caledinia 10:48pm
You have not been to a SNP conference for a long time!
Beard, dress and hip sway is all the style for the Wokerati
So STV won’t have AS in a debate.Take a good look at the collection of numpties they have on STV tonight. Ruth Wishart well past her sell- by date, some Anglo -Scottish nob from the Lib Dem’s who makes Cole Hamilton look exciting. They also have some soporifically dull woman from the press association who must be able to write better than she speaks. They are talking about the leaders debate without leaders. They are billing the battle between Ross and Sarwar as the big draw. Alba mentioned by Wishart as not required by the TV companies because they have enough on their hands with the stellar mix of party leaders. Yawn and get writing to STV.
Imagine your kid was really interested in environmental causes and mistakenly thought joining the Greens was a way to facilitate that. You think they are going on marches and getting into the science of climate change, looking at land use etc.
Then you look at Twitter and find ‘Eilidh’.
You’ve got to ask – why isn’t the content of the last few WOS pages on the front pages of the MSM?
Why are they so protective? Or is it sheer ignorance
We should all print articles and leave them in public places for people who might not be online to read. Supermarket trollies, public transport, hairdressers etc. Obviously there are limited places with Covid. No wonder they’re not opening the bingo halls before the election. My mum and her sister would have this stuff round those places like wildfire!
Never been to anything to do with the SNP, truth be told, I never wished to, better things to do with my time than listen to a crowd of dullards back slapping each other
Why are journalists not telling the truth ?
This is a man not a woman but is called’she’ in The Courier

Oh well I guess we can all sleep easy in our beds tonight knowing that the SNP aren’t funding groups who’s sole intention is to create a crazy FD up perverts paradise and Stu simply read it wrong according to the ferret who apparently ‘fact’ checked it.
Stu highlighted subsections and the ferret was kind enough to use those highlighted subsections in their ‘fact’ checking article, although unlike here on Wings the sneaky c*nts at the ferret decided to exclude the main section those subsections where taken from, what possible reason could they have for doing that you would have to wonder.
“14.Respect the rights of all individuals to exercise autonomy over their lives, including their sexualities, identities and bodies, DESIRES AND PLEASURES free from all types of discrimination”
It couldn’t possibly be because 3 simple words within that main section destroy the idea that Stu simply read it wrong.

If you really think people in Scotland or anywhere should just ignore this for the sake of their political opinion, in all honesty I worry about the Woman and children in your family or friends! Because if you’ll accept anything like this for your political cause I certainly want nothing to do with you, and neither would anyone I know.
Just for example would you be prepared as most decent I’m guessing Independance supporters would to clear these scum out of the ranks of your organisations or are you prepared to turn a blind eye to it, as on a different subject the majority of Germans were to the treatment of the Jews? If so your mental gymnastics are nothing I and millions of other people I’m sure would want to be associated with.
It says a lot about Scotland that all of this is fought out on the Internet.
I grew up in a Scotland where real homophobia was public policy.
Politicians used pay lots of money to keep similar photos very private.
Stuart I am no longer in the SNP but know the malority of members are unaware of these issues. Lots of good people. AS knows this and knows the quickest cleansing process is get Alba to have leverage to get change. Then onward and upwards.
Gay rights were hard won. Do not put these fetishists in same group.

“You just don’t get it these people are neither a reason to be a Unionist or a Yes voter, wake up these “people” and I use the term adviseadly are a cancer on society and should be banished to the levels of hell they so richly deserve.”
The scary thing about this bullshit is neither Unionists or Yes voters can trust any of the established parties to stand up to this nonsense. It seems the only two options for Unionists or Yes voters that want to get rid of these nutjobs or at the very least limit the effect they have on legislation is voting for Alba or Alliance4unity.
O/t
I have just read that Sturgeon is furious because of the jaw-dropping decision WM has taken to present two bills unanimously passed in Holyrood to the Supreme Court for them to decide if the Scot Gov has legislated beyond its powers. One of the bills concerns children’s rights.
When asked for comment Mr. Swinney who supported the Scottish gov. Bill addressing children’s rights said:
“The only people who need fear this bill are people who want to breach children’s rights.”
Pity he doesn’t listen to his own opinion especially on other proposals regarding children’s rights.
Famous 15
Next you’ll be telling me to campaign for Nicola Sturgeon to win her Constituency seat.
I of course will totally ignore you and campaign for Sarwar to take the Constituency seat from her.
Can you tell me how a few ALBA MSPs are going to stop Sturgeon doing as she pleases?
From my point of view I will try to stop her even winning her seat.
I want Independence, but not at any cost, unlike yourself.

Guide to autogynephilia: Miranda Yardley
Thanks for sharing that link, it’s thought provoking, if uncomfortable reading.
I’m old enough to (barely) remember Mary Whitehouse and all her fusty fun-killing crusades. It’s disappointing to realise in middle age that maybe she had a wee bit of a point, those slippery slopes we were told don’t exist are actually real things.
A common denominator Miranda points out on her blog, and I feel sure applies to the people Stuart mentioned above (and that fella who dropped by to share his enthusiasm for Pampers)… is porn.
When I was a boy, porn wasn’t a thing you had access to. Not really. Tits on Page 3 or the briefly unscrambled intros to seedy Italian satellite channels didn’t count. Maybe you’d find a soggy copy of Mayfair somebody left in the bushes at the park. That was about it. We’d snigger like teenagers do when a visibly squirming biology teacher showed us crude pencil drawn diagrams of human reproductive organs from an overhead projector. It was fairly innocent in retrospect.
Now, every child in the country has access to petabytes of 1080p high definition, extremely niche, full motion video, hardcore pornography, 24/7, from the computer in their pocket. And we know how curious teenagers are.
At the same time, the concept of shame has been completely inverted. Stephen mentioned David Mellor’s tame sex scandal, which was big news at the time. Somebody like Boris Johnson would’ve been run out of public life in the 90’s if it became public knowledge. Now, we don’t care. I’m not saying we should, btw. I’m saying shame has almost completely evaporated as a social mechanism to discourage people from airing their dirty nappies in public.
Shame still exists, but now it’s you who are meant to be ashamed. For being “intolerant” if you think a hulking big rugby player with a Desperate Dan jaw isn’t the stunning and brave woman he says he is. Or for being “bigoted” if you negatively judge adults for sharing their clatty fetishes with the general public.
Anyway, porn.
The internet is still a very new invention, historically speaking. Humans have been around for maybe 2,000,000 years depending on what you count as human. The internet only became ubiquitous in the last 20 years. Less than that if we mean wireless devices.
So we have no idea what the long term effects of people being saturated in porn during their formative years are. But it probably isn’t good.
I think these guys are porn addicts, and porn is what they’re feeding their fetishes with. Anything you feed gets bigger and stronger over time. Eventually, it consumes the addict and their entire life revolves around the next sesh, which gets heavier over time just to obtain the same kicks. Any former alcoholic knows all about this. This explains why the classic autogynephile graduates from wearing the wife’s knickers, to obsessively consuming porn, to eventually deciding to live the fantasy of being his pornographic idea of what a “woman” is.
They’re tragic.
And because the social signal of shame has been artificially jammed, they no longer hear the voice of sanity saying “don’t be bloody daft you’re no a wumman”. At least if you’re mainlining heroin, someone will probably care enough to suggest you get help. Nobody’s helping the autogynephiles, they’re being encouraged to destroy themselves instead.
There’s no simple solution to any of this. Theresa May’s insanely stupid internet censorship idea was never going to work, and we can’t uninvent the smartphone. But maybe we should start recognising out of control fetishes as a kind of mental health crisis, not too dissimilar to drug or alcohol abuse.
Kiwilassie,
From now on I will be on the lookout for a website called http://www.kiwilassie. to read about interesting things about Scottish politics.

You again fall for the lie that these fetishist propergate I.E anyone that calls them out is automatically homophobic, trans-phobic etc etc. Why don’t you look at the reaction to the article and see your exactly the same?
I know that you people (Yes voters not Lesbian and Gay people) seem to assume that you are the most “oppressed ” people in the world because you share a piece of land with a people you don’t like and an establishment your quite entitled to not like but ffs, can you not see whats in front of yours and your more importantly children’s eyes?
If you couldn’t “wheest for indy” prior to Alba forming but can now with these exposures there is really no hope for you
Whatever AS, the Rev or whoever says if you had an ounce of decency you could not put a cross next to a party that threatens as you know Woman and Children’s human rights.
If you think these sickos will just disappear with 5 more years of Sturgeon and her acolytes you really ain’t paying attention. This aside from the fact you are prepared to vote for a party who actively and in full view tried to imprison a man and after they were found out and said person was found not guilty, continued to besmirch his reputation and continue to do so is frankly contemptible. Whatever AS says and I greatly respect him as a politician and man at the end of the day he isn’t the messiah and in my view has completely fucked up his new party by in effect telling people “hold your nose about all the paedos etc and vote SNP.
What sort of message is that? Say for instance Bawjaws gives permission for a second referendum (unlikely) and Yes wins (even more un likely in my view), what happens then? How to you get rid of these perverts that infect every branch of civic society in Scotland.
Finally do you think that in County Durham where I live , generations of miners who worked and in a lot of cases died in the pits, were cannon fodder in both world wars and continue to live in deprivation only comparable parts of Glasgow, seriously voted for Boris coz they liked his hair or personality, no they voted because they are bright enough to realise the alternative Steptoe would accept all these weirdos and middle class wankers as the heart and soul of THEIR party!
Seriously wake up or all Independence will become is a race to the bottom
Andy says,
“I think Alex Salmond has to make some kind of statement regards advocating we should all be Voting SNP 1 and ALBA 2”
What do you think of my idea:
1. Don’t just stop at abstaining or spoiling the ballot – vote tactically to defeat the SNP candidate in the constituency.
2. But do that only for the most obnoxious SNP candidates like Sturgeon, Swinney, Yousaf, Robertson etc, especially those who are unlikely to get back on the list.
3. Give the list vote to ALBA wherever you are voting.
That should give us the desired result: Lots of ALBA MSPs, no SNP majority, the corrupt lying criminal SNP MSPs out.
The remaining SNP puppets will be forced to make deals.
If they make deals with ALBA, we move forward to independence.
If they make deals with the unionists, they will be exposed and ALBA can go for all of them next time.
Alex Salmond has given us a Plan B but we can be even smarter and turn it into a Plan C.
We must not follow the SNP 1 / ALBA 2 mantra universally, but adapt it to Best solution 1 / ALBA 2.
Abstaining from voting ALBA 2 doesn’t make any sense to anyone genuinely interested in independence.
Even Mia has come round to accepting that.
The one who was loudly advocating SNP 1 & 2 has remained completely silent about her list vote after the launch of ALBA.
Hi Kiwilassie.

Meg – good spot.
One of the bills incorporates the European Charter of Local Self-Government into Scots law, while the other seeks to incorporate the incorporate the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC).
I have no idea what this actually means in practice (if anything). But when was the last time signing up to European or UN charters turned out to be a good thing?
Nicola Sturgeon has described the challenge as “jaw dropping”.
In a tweet, the first minister added: “The UK Tory government is going to court to challenge a law passed by the Scottish Parliament unanimously.
She says unanimously like it’s a point in her favour. To me it suggests MSP’s aren’t doing their jobs. Very few things in public policy are so unambiguously wonderful they deserve unanimous support, there’s usually some kind of trade off. Also, what exactly are we paying MSP’s for if they’re just going to keep copypastaing “charters” and “conventions” from unelected international organisations into Scots law?
On a matter of basic logic, if you don’t know what the incorporation of these charters means, why are you offering any opinion at all on them?

Oh Ruby, where for art thou Ruby???
Intrigued by all the above, tonight a friend with access has been looking at Scottish Green Party Members’ Area for details you couldn’t see.
And the Rainbow Greens have their own “manifesto” page on the Scottish Greens website. But only members are allowed to read it.
(Not sure if you meant only ‘Rainbow Greens members’, or any Greens members, are allowed.)
..
Which is pretty strange, as manifestos are supposed to be things that you use to persuade people to vote for you, not that you limit to people who are not just already voting for you, but actually members of your party. We wonder what’s in it that it needs to be kept a secret.
A valid point. Some members of the Scottish Green Party have proposed for years (e.g. at party conference) that the SGP Constitution and also SGP Policy Reference Document should be published openly for anyone to access, as a model of transparency – and so voters could know exactly what they’d be backing, if voting Green. Others in the Greens have expressed resistance to this idea.. and it has not been implemented.
..
They’re also very friendly with the SNP’s transcult youth wing, regularly inviting current and former transactivist SNP officeholders to speak at their events, although nobody ever talks about what happened at them.
..
But.. it appears there is ‘no file found’ under either the ‘Manifesto’ or ‘mini-Manifesto’ headings for either Rainbow Greens or Green Youth. Nothing for posters, leaflets, other campaign materials, or policy briefings, either.
(The group hasn’t even identified its recently-elected committee members.)
..
But whatever’s being hidden, we’re sure it’s nothing to worry over, ..
Rainbow Greens Committee Members:
Co-convenors: Blair Anderson & Eilidh Martin, as you stated
Comms Officer: Bradley Booth
Comms Officer: Ellie Gomersall
Young Greens Committee Members:
There are twenty, so I won’t list them here.
..
It seems there is a notable shortage of files in various places.
These can be searched for by group and category.
Young Greens : (0)
Rainbow Greens : (1) only Logos_RainbowGreens.zip (for branding)
Those seem odd for notably busy groups where we’d expect more documented signs of activity, no?
Disabled Greens : (2) Accessability.doc [sic], Standing_Orders_Agreed_April_2015
Women’s Network : (3) Report to SGP Council (June 2020), AGM Agenda (Oct 2020), AGM Minutes (Oct 2020).
Conceivably, some documents may have been prudently ‘disappeared’ in light of recent events.. one might suppose.
(Just don’t know.)
Perhaps not too much should be read into these facts, as (using filter ‘any’ for files), for some Scottish Green Party local groups there are no/ few/ or outdated files found, whereas others have many, uploaded as recently as this month. A sample:
East Lothian 4 found, Edinburgh 86, Glasgow Southside 2 (but from 2018), Leith & Leith Walk 3 (2020), SE Edinburgh 42 (April 2021), Stirling & Clackmannanshire (33), W Lothian 0, etc etc.
(Stu, screenshots are available to forward for any of the above, if you wish.)

Good question, Phil.
It’s because I’d bet money this is more useless displacement activity on the part of the Scottish Parliament (something they’re brilliant at), and I’d prefer the people I’m paying to make Scotland’s laws did that, and preferably after real consultation and robust debate, instead of unanimously signing us up to international schemes dreamt up by foreign committees with opaque decision making processes and agendas.
I think, to be fair to me, I said something along those lines above if you read past my first sentence.

In other news. Sharing the response i got from STV
On the exclusion of Salmond from the TV debates.
Reply
That is exactly the same response I got from STV. I sent them a reply stating it wasn’t suitable. A one on one interview is not in any way on the same level as being included in a political debate with other party leaders.
The electorate is being let down here. You need to be able to make an informed decision before voting & the way STV are conducting the TV debates isn’t giving you that option.
People should respond to the reply sent, badger them till you get ALBA on the debate panel.
Well, after this weekend, my SNP constituency vote depends entirely on how well Alba is polling. If it looks like they can do well, I’ll give the SNP one final vote to give Alba the best possible chance on the list. If it looks like they won’t, it’ll be Alba 2 and no constituency vote at all. Despite my MSP being a decent guy, I have no desire whatsoever to aid and abet an SNP-Green majority with the current people in the parties. It’s been eye opening this weekend. The sheer level of abuse, smears, othering and hate towards women for simply holding a conference. And, maybe even worse, the number of people willing to believe those smears – believing lesbians are homophobic takes the biscuit. The same people who were willing to believe every smear and rumour about Alex as well. At every turn choosing the side of the unionist media over independence supporters being attacked by them. I honestly despair for Scotland at this point. May will show whether that’s unfounded or not.

I’ve been watching it closely and it’s been struggling these past few days, I think they’ll make it but it looks like it will go to the wire, I’m praying it does not just for much needed funds but I couldn’t bear the gloating SNP fanboys if it doesn’t
Right ref the ALBA Fund raiser.
5000 new members so another £2 per head does it.
C’ Mon let’s do it!
Another £10 donated to Alba. I’m sure we’ll get there. Come on everyone another wee donation !
Jeggit’s latest post, “Welcome to Foucault World Suckers!” is very short but it’s worth a read as puts into perspective a lot of things.
link to randompublicjournal.com
Ignore the religious overtones, that’s utterly unimportant.
It’s ironic that the left would fall hook line and sinker for the policies of the extreme right, where the individual has ultimate agency and can act unrestrained by any social construct or social norms, in any way they please.
It would even be laughable if the consequences weren’t so dire. One minor direction this is heading is that women and children are going to lose their right to say “No”. It’s only downhill from there on.
@ Kiwilassie: I hadn’t thought of responding to STV’s email. I will now do so. Thanks for the nudge.
And I will send a bit more to the Alba crowdfunder too!
If there was a real desire throughout Scotland for Alex Salmond’s new party you would have thought that a £50,000 crowd funder would have been easily reached within a few days.
As I have said all along I will be surprised if they gain one seat in the upcoming election.
Alex Salmond and ALBA would never come out and say don’t vote SNP1 even if that was what they were thinking in certain constituencies and circumstances. They are fat too savvy for that.
But we are smart people and we can read between the lines here.
Use your judgement and only vote SNP1 where you feel comfortable doing so and vote full on tactically against the SNP if that is what you feel is correct (I know I would if I was in certain constituencies).
gullaneno4
Just because it’s Salmond that’s involved doesn’t mean a party gets a free pass to success. “Trust” in parties is probably at an all time low and Alba are going to have to earn it.
You also have to consider that the past three months have been an expensive one for people who care as they try and undo all the fuck-ups by the SNP. Throw in the pandemic and there’s not a lot of free money waiting for something to do.
So not really surprising that crowdfunders are sluggish – though the pace of donations has picked up today. I wonder how the SNP MSPs crowdfunders are going – not so well I hear.
No pun intended but the individual mentioned in article needs to grow up and act like a mature, responsible adult.
@ gullaneno4: of course you haven’t read all the comments btl where we said that we had sent a donation direct to the Alba party site, and/or signed up for monthly subs?
Re the incorporation of children’s rights etc into Scottish law.
The ONLY reason that the matter has been referred to the Supreme Court is that the legislation passed at Holyrood has legal implications for the whole of the UK and must therefore be ‘tested’ before enactment.
It has nothing to do with the substance on the law and Swinney/Sturgeon know this.
They were warned but went ahead anyway without exercising due diligence.
Par for the course.

If there was a real desire throughout the SNP for Scottish Independence you would have thought there’d be no need to have an ALBA party at all.
@TNS2019 – Think of the term ‘due dilligence’ and the names: Sturgeon and Swinney, as being mutually exclusive. It makes life easier. As we both know, not much due-dilligence gets done at Holyrood.
I think it is an unpalatable fact that the Scottish people are on the whole wary of independence and the SNP has become a home for perverts, weirdos and wokies. That would explain the apparent lack of interest in media bias or acceptance of Alex’s Party.
As many here have said, the social problems illustrated by this website go far beyond politics and desperately need addressing and we need a clean-up campaign rather than an independence one.
I have supported Scottish Independence for over fifty years but I’m afraid the population have become “unfit for purpose”
Has there been any response from the Scottish government or the SNP that outright condemns paedophilia, and have they given assurances on child safeguarding?
I haven’t seen anything, and that’s what I want to see. I am not interested in semantics or bitching from them – I want to know they take the issue seriously. So far I haven’t heard anything from any of the MSPs or parties.
No associations were made by the people raising concerns to trans or gay – it has only been them, in their supposed defence, that has made the association – I don’t care who stonewall supposedly represents, I want to know that proper scrutiny has been applied before they are allowed access to children and given government funding. So far, I am not reassured, and the silence of the Scottish government and the SNP on the matter makes it look like they approve of paedophilia and the rape of other vulnerable groups.
I already knew the Greens were a bunch of rape-fantasist perverts and shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near government – when I heard they planned a coalition with the SNP I was very alarmed. The reason they keep their opinions under the radar and just shout ‘homophobe’ to anyone that disagree with their destruction of child safeguarding or allowing women to speak is that they think the general population ‘isn’t ready to hear their message’. It will start by claiming paedophilia is a sexuality – just like homosexuality – and that the perpetrators ‘can’t help it’. This is bollocks – anyone getting their kicks out of abusing a vulnerable person is a rape fantasist and has probably watched so much unpleasant porn their entire mental and emotional pleasure-response has warped out of all proportion. Wishing to harm others is not normal, getting sexual pleasure from that harm is perverted.
The restrictions on consent are there for a reason – all the groups of people that have the restriction, so cannot consent, are cared for in some way, they have guardians, they do not have the freedoms afforded the average adult. To allow consent, those people must be given all freedoms, otherwise the state and parents have failed in their duty of care. You can’t tell someone they can now ‘consent’ in one aspect of their life, but no others – that’s like locking someone in a cell, throwing away the key, then telling them they have the freedom to go where they like. If ANYONE has power over you, you are vulnerable – that’s why we have laws and regulations to temper that power, they afford you some level of protection.
Instead of getting a definitive statement from the Scottish government or ANYONE in the SNP, saying they do not approve of paedophilia in any shape or form, we have Westminster riding to the rescue by suddenly saying, in the middle of an election campaign, before our new government has formed, that they are legally challenging Hollyrood legislation,,, rather bizarre timing wouldn’t you say? What is this UN charter on the child anyway? Does anyone know? Given the associations between ILGA and the UN, I am beginning to dread what might have sounded like a benign thing turning out to be far more sinister.
Of course, to the general population, who have not been told about the serious child safeguarding questions, they will see the blanket coverage of evil Westminster and our perverted FM saying how morally reprehensible they are, for challenging the introduction of a UN charter which, on the surface, sounds like it protects children. What a squirrell. Meanwhile, women are getting verbal abuse for bringing up concerns – well placed and reasonable concerns that should, at the very minimimum, be producing outright denial that anyone would consider lowering the age of consent, or be allowing consent for vulnerable people to have sex. There has been NO condemnation of this. They have said it’s transphobic or homophobic to raise concerns – what do those two groups have to do with the concerns raised? Nothing, or they shouldn’t have. That response isn’t adequate.
Note: no one in the SNP or the Scottish greens has categorically stated that they will not be lowering the age of consent, or that they wouldn’t support it if it were proposed.
The path to hell,,,

@akenaton
I’m not sure blaming voters or the Scots as a people generally is particularly useful. Frustrating as the lack of progress politically, socially and economically may be the simple truth is independence won’t happen until the majority can be convinced to vote for it. I’m pushing 60 and have lived to see many things happen I never thought to see in my lifetime: the fall of Communism and the Berlin Wall, Mandela walking free, the UK leaving the EU or indeed support for Scottish independence bringing us to the doorstep of self determination.
If Alba as a party is to have any long term future and to play a part in hastening our independence then there is work to be done. It may take longer than many of us would wish, but if the past decade has shown us anything it is that there are no short cuts. There is obviously a constituency for what Alba has to offer: the 2014 Big Tent has been purposefully collapsed around our ears by a minority of regressive ideological zealots who insist on unconditional acceptance of their agenda. We shouldn’t allow the fact that these distasteful extremists happen to share the same ultimate goals as many of us have blind us to the deeply distasteful dystopian social model they are advancing.
With luck Alba will be successful and produce results quicker than many expected, but in truth even if it doesn’t at least we now have an alternative to what is being offered by the SNP and Greens. As many of us including Rev. Stu have been saying for a while, we’ll be no worse off even if Alba don’t immediately break the mould, as the current SNP are vanishingly unlikely to progress independence in the next Holyrood term.
Politicians must be kept out of the bedroom and out of the doctor’s surgery.
Private areas both, where you ought to be in control free from pressure to be made to conform to some new order code of behaviour.
The «pandemic» has breached walls in personal integrity, sex propagandists are doing likewise.
Politicians are enabling such assault. Know your place or many will withhold their votes, such is true democracy.
The people will bring you down.
On the crowdfunder:
The Alba Party is first of all appealing to the grassroots – not commonly thought of as the richest section of society – many have joined the party and donated there, so the crowdfunder is a separate and extra donation – all within a very short space of time. I’m not surprised the crowdfunder hasn’t climbed rapidly, particularly when the Alba party haven’t even published all their policies.
I was waiting to hear what policies they have before deciding how much to contribute – when you have to consider how much you might suffer over the next month, you need to know it might be worthwhile for the future – so on the back of the women’s policies I put in a fair donation. Even then I was swithering on whether to give to the crowdfunder or the party directly – but decided the public nature of the crowdfunder was more worthwhile (encourages others, and gives a higher profile to the party). I was waiting to hear Alba’s economic plans before deciding on the next donation amount, but I might just take a guess, as the crowdfunder closes soon.
Anyway, I’d like to thank everyone that keeps posting the link to the crowdfunder! It keeps it in mind, and makes it easily accessible. Cheers guys.

Completed new opinium poll last night which had questions re: Scottish Election I got to the question which party do you intend to vote for??? ( never said on constituency).
Anyhoo! made my choice and expected the next question to be about Regional vote…. it never came up?
Make of that what you will (Alba brushed out of the picture)
Some client not wanting to know maybe?
Hope you are right Andy, thanks anyway for thoughtful response.
ALBA and AS are the bottom of the funnel – everything, All the firepower of the press will be aimed at them since they are by far the biggest existential threat to the U.K.
Ironically the SNP can enjoy a more sedentary lead up to May 6th.
I feel a couple more big names coming over as we get closer to May.
Compared with George Galloways party fundraisers, Alba is doing grand. If these amounts show the appetite for the union, there’s not much of one!

I to received a response from STV merrily whitewashing their political decision NOT to have Mr Salmond in the debate – its Ofcoms regulations they are following – Ha bloody Ha!

I agree to a certain extent but when you consider how many people follow Wings and how much we have waited for a party like Alba led by AS I would have thought there would have been more in the crowdfunder.
Just a thousand wingers x £5 and you have your £50,000, so I don’t know why its taking so long to meet the target.

unless of course some nobody that was uneducated at uni with a nose ring and a beard clicks its ruby slippers and wishes different.
After the initial rush to get low polls out taken in the days after launch, there haven’t even many published at all. Bearing in mind the only one which actually named the party gave it 6%, that does make me wonder if they’re not going the way the media want?
Someone can not do maths, £5 ×1000 is only £5000 not £50,000. Many have donated money directly to Alba, why are people spreading disinformation?
Well I’m not surprised that over 100,000 folk complained to the BBC over the disgraceful over the top coverage of the death of the royal parasite Phil the Greek.
Apparently its the most complaints the BBC have ever had on anything.

Mark Avery when he was pushing the petition in England to ban driven grouse shooting showed me how to do petitions and crowd funders.
People are busy and have lot on their plates so you have put it in front of people all the time because you never know when you are going to catch their attention and when they are in a position to act. You have to nag people in a nice way. Outline the reasons why signing / giving money is going to make a difference.
Give feedback on progress – Mark used the breakdown of petition signatures by constituency to highlight which had conservative MPs, which were mainly rural/urban, etc. One surprise, though it should not have been, was that the areas with the fewest signatures supporting the grouse shooting ban were in highly affluent, Tory voting areas such as Kensington in London.
All very entertaining and building a case as to why action was important.
As you can imagine that’s a lot of work. You can just put up a page and expect signatures or money to flow as Galloway’s Unity campaigns found out – even though they purloined the RAF circle symbol for their branding.
Has anybody had any trouble contributing to ALBA ? I tried to make a payment this morning but the screen seemed to freeze at the final payment stage.
Some folk from the Scottish fishing industry are now backing the ALBA party.
“Alex Salmond was always there when the industry needed him and tried his best and listened when the industry needed him and I can’t recall him once making political capital out for the industry. The fishing industry is important to Scotland and I think the more power we have for Scotland to become an independent nation-state the better and all I can see is that ALBA would help that along the road.”

@ Lenny Hartley and Dorothy Devine: Kiwilassie prompted me to reply to STV – so I winged [!] off a short response pointing out the purpose of the debate was for voters to compare and contrast the leaders. This can’t be done in a one-to-one interview.
After badgering STV it would seem that 6.2 from Ofcom advice is what they are using to justify Alba exclusion
“Due weight must be given to the coverage of parties and independent candidates during the election period. In determining the appropriate level of coverage to be given to parties and independent candidates broadcasters must take into account evidence of past electoral support and/or current support. Broadcasters must also consider giving appropriate coverage to parties and independent candidates with significant views and perspectives.”
I have argued the point further just now. We’ll see what tosh they come back with

The person who’s the subject of todays main post has a fetish and has fantasies but that DOESN’T make them a paedophile. Many people of all persuasions have fantasies and granted, I suppose most people keep their fantasies private, but this person doesn’t.
I get the feeling that the intent of todays post is simply to hold the person up for ridicule and you can’t seriously say that they’re a potential paedophile on the basis of their fetishes or fantasies.
Thought is not a crime yet.’
In Bhudism and Yoga they say ‘where the mind goes, the body follows.’
You’re quite right when you say, thought is not a crime yet… but when someone goes public with such disgusting, perverted thoughts, I do not want them near power, or influencing the law makers in this country, particularly with regards child safety.
And lets take a different example, if the person held extreme racist views, and put them out into the public the same way… for the purpose of sexually exciting those of a similar persuation… would it not be deemed a Hate Crime.
I do not care what consenting adults do to one another in private.
Ghandi said, ‘you don’t walk through my mind with dirty feet’.
The purpose of this person posting in such a public way – is to walk through the minds of the public with more than dirty feet.
I don’t feel ridicule about the above person’s fetish – I feel repulsion. And I’m going to trust my instincts on that, and no amount of fancy arguements and legal dancing on the head of a pin will change that. Sometimes you have to go with your gut.
`The ONLY reason that the matter has been referred to the Supreme Court is that the legislation passed at Holyrood has legal implications for the whole of the UK and must therefore be ‘tested’ before enactment.`
This is set-out in the Scotland Act which explains the powers of Holyrood. Alex Salmond referred to the Scotland Act when he asked the members of the Fabiani Committee to request documents from his lawyers using the provisions of the Scotland Act.
In this case, the Scotland Act permits new laws to be created in Holyrood that apply to Scotland only and there is some doubt that this law will only apply in Scotland. Hence, it is being referred to the Supreme Court.
That is the factual situation.
Update. STV have responded with a non answer
“Thank you for your most recent email.
We have given this our fullest consideration and are unable to add anything further to our previous response, which sets out our position on this matter.
If you remain dissatisfied with our final response, we are regulated by OFCOM and you can find out more about them here”
But a UK government source said: “This delay to the legislation could easily have been avoided.
“Sadly, it appears the Scottish government are more interested in stirring a constitutional row than getting the UNCRC bill into law at the first opportunity.”
A UK government spokesman said: “The UK government law officers’ concerns are not about the substance of the legislation, rather whether parts are outwith the legislative competence of the Scottish Parliament.”

Alex Salmond took over the SNP when it was languishing in the doldrums with support for Indy somewhere in the mid 20%. He managed to turn around their fortunes, outmanoeuvred the Unionists, got a Referendum on Independence to be held, and in spite of the BritNat Media’s unprecedented distortion of the agenda and misrepresentation of the most vital issues, Alex Salmond came preciously close to getting Independence over the line. So close in fact that Unionism was in total panic and disarray making all kinds of promises they couldn’t deliver. (That’s “lies” to you and me).
Truth be known, if the YES vote had come a few weeks later, we’d have won. The momentum was all with us, and that momentum is what delivered the massive return of SNP seats to Westminster.
Instead of being celebrated as the father of our Independent Nation, Alex Salmond lost his seat in some extremely suspicious circumstances, and was then set upon by a criminal conspiracy to smear the man’s reputation and political legacy. None of that smells any better now than it did back then.
That attack was a gratuitous and contrived smear conspiracy which survived every level of ‘check’ designed to root out malicious or false accusations and see them fail to proceed. The “Establishment” let it ride, and the conspiracy which should never have seen the light of day, only came unstuck when it was removed from the hands of the “Establishment” and put into the hands of a jury, an honest jury, which was thoroughly unconvinced by the false authenticity of conspiracy. That’s “some” system of justice we’ve got there Scotland eh?
That the Unionist influence in the Establishment sought to maximise Alex Salmond’s embarrassment and injury is understandable, though unforgivable, but that central players in the Conspiracy were from Alex Salmond’s own SNP is truly nauseating. And don’t even mention “Madame”.
Yet Alex Salmond endured it all and emerged out the other side of this despicable and sustained assault on his integrity. But when vindicated, instead of gunning to bring down the treacherous turncoats who had plotted his downfall, his primary objective was to draw a line under it in order to resurrect the fortunes of Scottish Independence. To reinvigorate the YES campaign which had been left to wither and die in Sturgeon’s Winter Garden. The whole YES community drew in such a sweet breath of fresh air!
Naturally, I would love to see ALBA rocking the boat and actually delivering both a supermajority and a Holyrood Parliament largely purged of Unionist puppets. But IF that is not to be, then so be it, but whatever the fortunes of ALBA in May, Scotland has the big dog back in the race, and for that I am truly thankful.
And as for all those embittered numbskulls celebrating the ‘failure’ of ALBA prematurely, and using it to rekindle the smears which tried so desperately to commute Alex Salmond’s career, I would urge you to take a good look in the mirror and ask yourself what it is you are celebrating.
I would also reach out to all ALBA people to hold their nerve and stand strong. Alex Salmond’s Party was only in existence for a couple of hours before the comatose political landscape anaesthetised by years of Sturgeon’s moribund inaction was de-fibrillated with the electric possibilities of a supermajority being delivered at Holyrood.
Why are we surprised that Sturgeon’s cowards are so vociferous in their condemnation of ALBA? I won’t answer for those cretins, but I would point out it is Sturgeon’s phoney hall of mirrors which ALBA threatens to shatter.
Face down Alex Salmond’s ALBA across the floor in Holyrood? HA! Precious wee Sturgeon has neither the guts nor the integrity to face him across the floor of a TV studio. No small wonder, given her part in the conspiracy to destroy him and beach Scottish Independence on any convenient sand bank.
The Unionist media, remember them? The same rogues pulling out all the stops to wreck the YES momentum back in 2014 are now manoeuvring to insulate and protect Sturgeon, and save her from confrontation with a sincere Independence Party. If you’re a Sturgeonite, you might really want to think about why they’re doing that.
The Unionist Establishment turns white at the mere prospect of Alex Salmond re-entering the frame. But Sturgeon? Not only does the Unionist Establishment have NO FEAR of Sturgeon, they are even prepared to goad her, and punish her own constitutional incompetence and capitulation with legal challenges to “her” subjugated Assembly which gets down on it’s knees when Westminster commands. Fear her? The Establishment will giggle as it rubs her nose in her own inadequacy. When she doesn’t respect Scotland’s sovereign constitution, why on Earth should they?
What happens in May happens in May, but Scotland’s welfare and survival is now in the hands of ALBA and Alex Salmond.
For those revelling in his exclusion from debate, and enjoying Sturgeon’s him or me ultimatum, while the immediate prospect of Supermajority in May is sabotaged and knifed in the back by a degenerate SNP, let me quote you Samuel Adams… ” Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were ever YES supporters”.
If you feel repulsion, then that’s down to your own personal feelings. People who like to dress up in nappies and be ‘mothered’, who happen to be gay and don’t mind telling the world about it don’t repulse me because I understand that people have fetishes and fantasies. What might be repulsive to you might be a turn on to someone else so fuck them, let them get on with it.
Now yes, since the person is running for public office, they probably should have been more discrete about their fantasies but there you go, if it costs them support, they only have themselves to blame.
My point is that no matter what fetishes or fantasies a person holds, it’s wrong to associate that with paedophilia and I think The Rev made a big mistake here by trying to imply that connection. It makes him look like he really does have an axe to grind against Gay people of whatever persuasion.
@Breeks (10.48) –
Hear hear to all that.
Right now it’s understandable that so many are disgusted with the SNP, and the Greens.
It feels like that film ‘Society’ when the young dude finds out that almost everyone, including his own family, are part of a debauched cabal.
@ Breeks at 10.48: Hear hear to a wonderful summary of the trials [literally] and tribulations that Mr Salmond has suffered, and how he is nevertheless battling on behalf of Scotland.
I am very grateful to him and AFI, ISP and all true Yessers and democrats.

He has ALWAYS ben very clear not to be condemning the gay community .
Sarah, I did have another go at STV but got the Ofcom reply – I did suggest they actually read the piece they pointed out to me which certainly does have a degree of leeway which they are obviously happy to ignore or interpret to suit.
Breeks @10:48.
Hear hear!
The Alba party is only just getting started, no matter what happens in May it is here to stay.
The SNP may have well morphed into the new Labour with all the nepotism, old boy (girl or whatever) club and corruption but Alba will be there to hold up a mirror so it can look itself in the face and see the hypocrisy.
Thank you Alex for giving us this lifeline.

What if the fetish is not just an acting out?
What if it is latent paedophelia?
Surely that could be a reason for this nappy wearing behaviour which otherwise seems inexplicable.
Alba party have had to release a statement over threats of violence made against one of their female candidates in this election from a male Green candidate. This is all because she had the front to retweet this subject after the women’s conference. plans to have a meeting on how to make her life hell are being arranged and complaints about her have been made to her profession already. Despicable behaviour and it has been reported to the Green Party… Lets see how willing they are to defend real WOMEN!

Is the latest plan to hold back all polls until the postal votes go out? A long list of regular polling until the 7th. with few gaps more than a few days and now silence. An avalanche of polls the week of Alba launch to prove they were going nowhere. Papers screaming “failure”
Coincidence I am sure.

Denying a referendum will change the Union
Despite assertions that the UK is a voluntary partnership, No 10 refuses to let the people decide again on independence
Ciaran Martin
Tuesday April 13 2021, 12.01am, The Times
In the middle of the noisiest election since the establishment of the Scottish parliament, there is one crucial, overlooked fact.
The position of the United Kingdom government is that there is no lawful, democratic path to achieving Scottish independence for an unspecified number of decades.
To divert from Mist001’s latest noncery whataboutery, something which may be of more interest to all is Iain Lawson has pointed out that little lambsie Austin Sheridan has LIED about disowning AFI and Alba.
He’d actually pledged his support to the Greens back in March, but forgot he’d left the incriminating evidence up. Heaven forbid anyone suggest this was a planned ‘dramatic exit’ waiting to happen.

Before the drama queening little shit gets a chance to scrub the evidence:
Mist001
People have no obligation to accept other people’s fetishes. If people do not want to be judged by the public for publicly displaying their fetishishes, well, I think you know what the answer is….
This is boundary testing bullshit. Keep ‘kink’ to yourself and your consenting partners. And especially away from children.
From where I am standing, for the last 24 hours I have heard a lot of noise. I have seen a desperate pumping of smoke. I have read a lot of desperately deflecting excuses, somewhat aggressively. I have seen an attempt to ridiculise what are obvious and perfectly legitimate concerns after reading ILGA’s charter. I have also seen a gross attempt to shoot the messenger in the way they have piled on to the ALBA lady who we all parents should be thankful for bringing this this alarming and dangerous charter to the fore.
But I see no substance at all nor meaningful actions from the quarters that have put themselves up to their armpits on this mess and who should have by now issued unequivocal statements of position regarding their organisations’ support or not for decriminalisation of paedophilia, exposure of children and adolescents to abuse, decrease of age of consent, destruction of the legal protection barriers that are making those children and adolescent available to abusers and more importantly, what are their intentions with regards to removing from parents the right and power to protect their children.
I see no attempt from any of these organisations to put our minds at rest. All what I see is an incredibly arrogant and patronising attempt to silence us by insulting us and by demanding our good will of giving them the benefit of the doubt. You do not deserve the benefit of the doubt when you have the incredibly arrogance to insult those who question your motives after you have given them plenty of reasons to question those motives instead of the humility of reviewing your own offending actions. So get off the high horse of arrogance and start walking the line of humility.
It is time we have clarity for we have none. We are denied clarity. We have been denied clarity since Sturgeon took control of the SNP and Scotland’s government. We are expected to accept some harmful unscientific nonsense that not only harms women, but it seems it might have been aiming all along at the destruction of the legal protecting barriers around our children.
All we have is deflection, obfuscation and the arrogant and misplaced dishing of insults in an attempt to distract us from the issue rather than tackling the issue hands on to put it to rest for once and for all. It is profoundly dishonest. It is profoundly suspect and for that, attempts to deflect from it or to ridiculise our perfectly legitimate concepts won’t work. Our children is the most precious thing that we have, and this may threat them. What we need is not to be insulted and called homophobes. what we need is the absolute, unequivocal assurance that none of those organisations, or the Green Party, the Labour Party, the Libdems and Sturgeon’s SNP support harming our children albeit indirectly by allowing external organisations access to policiy making and removing the legal protection barriers around children and women.
Deflecting words, meaningless verbose, aggressive faux name calling and psychological blackmailing won’t do anymore. The use of the word of the day with the suffix -phobia won’t work anymore to stop scrutiny, so much they have been abused in the last few years to peddle incredibly suspect unscientific nonsense that appears to be pushed by some powerful and wealthy quarters seemingly seeking access to children for obscure purposes. All because the pawns, the careerists, unprincipled amoebas we have as government, MSPs and MPs have given those powers influence in our policy making.
They may call us racists, they may call us homophobes, they may call us transphobes (whatever that means). But what they cannot call us is Truthphobes, because the truth behind all the obscure peddling of this harmful unscientific nonsense and abuse of power is what we seek and we want it now so we can cast our votes accordingly. So out with the truth.
Statements like “we do not campaign to decrease the age of consent” is not the same as “we oppose to the decrease of the age of consent”.
Statements like “we do not campaign for decriminalisation of paedophilia” is not the same as “We categorically oppose the decriminalisation of paedophilia”.
Statements like “we do not campaign for children to be used as the experimental mice for pharmaceutical companies so they can pump them full of drugs potentially ruining their lives” is not the same as “we categorically oppose to any change of laws that will give pharmaceutical companies or unethical health practitioners ability to experiment with children potentially leading them to their permanent sterilisation and being scarred for life”
Statements like “we do not campaign to stop parents protecting their children” do not mean “we categorically reject any change of law that will remove from parents the right to protect their children”.
To write a charter down that has an obvious meaning for any individual owning a functioning brain cell and then claim that the meaning was other and that it is the reader who are deliberately misreading it, is not just disingenuous, it is stupid and shooting yourself in both feet. Are we to understand that ILGA is so incompetent and has such illiterate people writing their charters and approving them that they do not test them before making them public to see how they are interpreted by the majority of those who read them? Are we to understand that Stonewall and LGBT YOuth Scotland do not actually read what they endorse? Are we to understand that the Green Party and STurgeon’s government would open the taxpayers’ purse and funnel money into any suspect organisation before actually running background checks of what they support or stand for?
Not doing due diligence is not the fault of the reader. It is the fault of the writer that does not know what it writes, it is the fault of the approver that does not read and does not test what it approves, it is the fault of the endorser that does not read what it endorses and it is the fault of those who subsidise the endorser without doing background checks of what they are actually subsididing with others’ money.
So stop projecting and start giving us credit.
Treating the public like brainless idiots who do not know what they read may have worked last century in cults and dictatorships, but it does no work among the general public in 21st century Scotland.
Sturgeon’s government have used our taxpayers’ money to subsidise two organisations that while they may not be actively campaigning to decrease the age of consent and expose our children to abusers and paedophiles, they have endorsed an organisation, ILGA, that has written a charter that clearly reads, as it stands today, that it seeks to eliminate all laws that restrict the ability of adolescents, to consent sex.
In other words, ILGA, if we are to believe their charter as it has been written, might be seeking to expose our children to predators and other forms of abuse. This will open a door to decriminalisation of paedophilia because the abuser only has to say that the child consented to the act.
If you subsidise an organisation that endorses another organisation that seeks to remove the protection of children exposing them to paedophiles and abusers, then you are endorsing it too. Indirectly, it may be, but you are endorsing it too.
If you don’t and you simply acted negligently or incompetently by endorsing it without doing due diligence at the time, when you are alerted to it, you immediately distance yourself from it. So, has Sturgeon and anybody in the SNP actually distanced themselves from Stonewall, LGBT YOuth Scotland or ILGA?
It is normal diligence by a government, and it is expected, particularly with those excessively overpaid civil servants, to check the background of any organisation they endorse with our money. In 2015 the Scottish Culture Secretary was involved in a scandal about some dodgy payment to T in the Park. This was a payment of only 150,000 pounds. How much of our money has STurgeon’s government funnelled to Stonewall and LGBT Youth Scotland?
You would think Sturgeon and her cabinet ministers would have learnt the lesson and would endeavour to do routine background checks of any beneficiary from our cash before departing with OUR hard earned taxpayers’ money. Clearly either they have not, olr alternatively they are perfectly happy with ILGA’s charter. So what is it going to be?
Have we heard yet from Sturgeon, Harvie, Rennie, Sarwar and Ross any statement to categorically reject paedophilia, to categorically reject any intent to decrease the age of consent, to categorically reject any intent to put our children at risk for the benefit of perverts and paedophiles, any intent to weaken the laws that currently put barriers of protection against our children to stop paedophiles and abusers getting anywhere near them? Have we heard from her any statement stopping support for Stonewall or LGBT Youth Scotland until they reject the ILGA charter or until ILGA rewords its charter?
Sorry but at this time we need it spelled out in full, because quite frankly, after deliberately silencing women and weakening mothers’ rights to protect their children with the infamous hate bill they all colluded to pass so Scotland could be the UK testing ground for the toxic queer theory, to now demand from us women and mothers good will to assume the default position that politicians act ethically, with good judgement and having the people of Scotland’s, particularly women and children’ best interests at heart is at best arrogant and misplaced and at worse insulting. Their passing of that bill has completely eliminated their right to be given the benefit of the doubt by women and mothers.
Silence is consent and time is of the essence. If those “leaders” do not come out with such an unequivocal statement rejecting paedophilia, child abuse in all its forms, rejecting the reduction of age of consent, rejecting the destruction of the protection barriers for underage and vulnerable people and rejecting ever giving access to pharmaceutical companies and unethical health professionals access to our children after deliberately removing our rights as parents to protect them, then, for our own sake and that of our children, we are going to have to work and vote under the assumption that anybody that does not have the balls to come out and reject all that, does in fact support it. Silence is consent.
So who is going to be the first “leader” that will speak to protect our children and our rights as parents to protect our children?
In the meantime, Stonewall, LGBT YOuth Scotland, and the organised political lobby pretending to be a trans cult, if they want us to stop questioning their motives, then they can come out with an unequivocal statement that they reject any decrease of age of consent, they reject any destruction of laws that protect our children and adolescents, that they reject removing the barriers that give pharmaceutical companies and paedophiles to our children and that they reject the removal of any right that parents currently have to protect our children. Not just the watered down and skirting on the edges verbose that they do not campaign for it. What we want to see and hear is that they outright REJECT IT in all its forms and under every circumstance.
As per ILGA, if they do not want to be seen as an organisation that endorses paedophilia and that attempts to decriminalise it, they can start by REWRITING that dodgy statement stating clearly and unequivocally that they reject paedophilia, they reject the decrease of the age of consent and they reject the removal of parental rights to protect our children.
To the political “leaders”:
Stop treating the Scottish people as idiots. We are not idiots and it is idiotic to work under the assumption we are. We can see right through you, through your corruption, through your dishonesty, lies and cowardice and through the obfuscation you are bringing to hide behind because you think it will stop us seeing what you are attempting to do instead of realising you are far too coward to openly accept publicly what you are attempting to do. Stop acting as the representatives of the neoliberal interests of abusers and corporations and start acting as the representatives of the people of Scotland, which is what you were elected to do.
The people of Scotland has the right to be represented by individuals concerned about Scotland and no by unscrupulous amoebas that lack the spine of stand up to pressure from lobbyists seeking to gerrymander our policies to give corporations and abusers access to our children after they have gagged and tied the hands of their parents so they can no longer protect them.
If you are not prepared to protect the people of Scotland, which is what you claim you will do, then there is the door. We don’t need you and we don’t want you in our Parliament. The door is and has always been unlocked. Your call.
We are in the middle of an election and we have the absolute right to know what kind of candidates we are voting for and what those candidates are going to do with our votes. So start talking.

– BECAUSE I AM KIND AND YOU ARE NOT, YOU INTOLERANT PERSON. YOU ARE OPPRESSING PEOPLE BY NOT LETTING THEM SHOW THEIR FETISH TO EVERYONE. THE MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR HERE, IS SOMEONE’S RIGHT TO A FUCK.
“Now yes, since the person is running for public office, they probably should have been more discrete about their fantasies but there you go, if it costs them support, they only have themselves to blame.”
-ACTUALLY, IT’S YOU WHO IS TO BLAME YOU BIG MEANIE AND YOU HAVE COST HIM SUPPORT.
“My point is that no matter what fetishes or fantasies a person holds, it’s wrong to associate that with paedophilia and I think The Rev made a big mistake here by trying to imply that connection. It makes him look like he really does have an axe to grind against Gay people of whatever persuasion.”
– AND HERE WE HAVE THE CONNECTION WITH GAY PEOPLE AGAIN, WHICH, REV STU DID NOT MAKE, BUT INSTEAD IT WAS YOU MIST001, AND RATHER POORLY.
Nice try pal. Stop trying to test personal boundaries by guilt and implied homophobia. 1/10 – Must Try Better

Very well said!
Lots of squirrels but no denials or signature withdrawals. No comment from the SNP regarding the substantial funding of those willing to sign such CLEARLY worded statements.
Is ‘A Wimmin’ fucking thick or something? They make comments in BOLD like in case people can’t read and they miss exactly what I said!!
My intolerance is to thick fucks, their stupidity repulses me even more than a man in nappies.
If you feel repulsion, then that’s down to your own personal feelings…
You see this is exactly why young people are so vulnerable to those who promote ‘kinks’ and fetishes. They are made to feel there is something wrong with them instead of the creeps promoting this.
That they justify it when it elicits repulsion on a visceral level to most people is telling. Then they try to portray them as the ones with the problem.
‘Loosen up, people do this’
‘I know about this, it’s no big deal’
‘It’s harmless’
‘Why are you so uptight?’
The fear that young people have is that it suddenly becomes –
‘Why are you intolerant of this?’
‘You must be a bigot.’
‘You must be a homophobe’
‘You must be a transphobe’
WITH NO JUSTIFICATION BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT THE SAME THING.
Trust your gut, if it elicits repulsion you are not the one with the problem. Your hackles should rise if someone tries to tell you your feelings are wrong.
Well said Mia.
Should be a stand-alone post.
Folks don’t listen to Mist001, well in fact you can’t listen(thank fuck) he always been a dick. Try just to unsee.
I said many times this unionist looney in France is here to disrupt. Remember he’s said many time we don’t deserve independence! As if it’s got owt to do with that fanny, he has no say here.

Great post Mia
An Enquiry needs to be conducted into the funding of ScotGov into the ‘inclusive’ NGOs, including Stonewall, LGBT Youth Scotland, The Equality Network/Scottish Trans Alliance – which btw is the same organisation but have different titles so that they can get twice the funding.
Also Rape Crisis Scotland and the other women’s organisations that have been so captured by this ideology that they now allow males in refuges and in female positions. Engender is simply not fit for purpose.
Part of such an Enquiry is an investigation into ScotGov’s refusal to grant funding to women’s groups like For Women Scot – refused on the ground that they are women only.
ScotGov fund the organisations that then lobby them. They REFUSE funding for any organisation that does not meet the ‘inclusivity rule’ and refuse to meet with them.
How is this nor a racket? How is not corrupt?
Mist001
Keep going. Everyone is watching.
@Mia
Well said. It should be a question to all the candidates with no weasel word answers. Unambiguous that they know and understand what they are funding and what these organisations stand for.

Now yes, since the person is running for public office, they probably should have been more discrete about their fantasies but there you go, if it costs them support, they only have themselves to blame.
My point is that no matter what fetishes or fantasies a person holds, it’s wrong to associate that with paedophilia and I think The Rev made a big mistake here by trying to imply that connection. It makes him look like he really does have an axe to grind against Gay people of whatever persuasion.
WHERE THE MIND GOES – THE BODY FOLLOWS.
Paedophiles have a proven track record of using highly intelligent and devious methods of communication and attaching to other campaign equal rights movements to mask their own agenda. In particular the Homosexual / gay rights movement. The Paedophile Information Exchange being one example.
Thinking rationally about the why of this, I suspect it was because – the Homosexuals and Lesbians were treated dreadfully and had a very good case. But equally, in the case of Homosexuals, were less likely (but not exclusively, especially these days) less likely to have children.
Animal instinct kicks in when it comes to protecting your kids (both for mothers and fathers) in a way that is not experienced prior to parenthood.
Since some paedophiles are same sex attracted, and some opposite sex attracted, and some who don’t care what sex the child is, then shouting Homophobe at anyone who attempts to flag up an issue about the methods paedophiles use to move through society – serves no-one other than the paedophiles and (if well intentioned) is deeply stupid.
For someone with fetishes such as the above to become politically motivated – exactly whose interests are they going to pursue? People gravitate to what attracts them, even more so if its a sexual attraction. People fight for what they want, not what other people want to prevent you from having.
Would such a person look at the legislation from a child safety point of view, or would they be getting too sexually excited for rational thought, when case by case examples were discussed with a view to changing loopholes in the law, or improving safety measures.
From a rational, cognative perspective – as aposed to indulging my ‘feelings’ (irrational female that I am) – I’m going to suggest that warning signals, such as an adult male, getting sexually turned on by dressing in baby nappies, ‘sexualised’ baby talk, and soiling himself (Yuck, by the way, just yuck) – has nothing to do with same sex attraction and everything to do with being sexually attracted to children and or babies.
Such a person, with such a perspective, is not fit to be anywhere near legislative bodies, such as Political parties.
But lets look at this from a different perspective. If this person was employed to look after your children, in a position of trust, and sexually abused them, and it came to light that the content of the above communications were known by his employers, and they ‘dismissed them out of hand – ‘as just fantasy/fetish’ no evidence that he’d ever actually act on them.
You, like any other responsible parent on the planet would be beyond anger at the incompetence.
Words have meaning, deviant, pervert, repulsive, paedophile, fetishist. These words exist and sadly have use, because of the worst kind of behaviour in human existence.
I reserve the right to use them, and not to be falsely accused of homophobia when doing so.
Some paedophiles are same sex attracted, some are opposite sex attracted – all of them are a danger to children.
Organisations promoting peadophilia have repeatedly infiltrated and attached themselves to Gay and Lesbian Organisations in order to mask their real agenda.
This is proven, repeatedly. The false flag shout of ‘homophobe’ whenever anyone attempts to highlight a danger, is detrimental and slanderous to homosexuals, and a vital ‘distraction’ tool used by Paedophiles to prevent exposure.
Anyway. Enough. You don’t walk through my mind with dirty feet.

Re the posters trying to run cover for these people, look up A. Challenors husband who writes what, for them, is erotic fiction involving transexual paedophilia and incest. Challenor was given a job by Reddit from which to run these groups and have anyone who complained banned, he went there after standing for the Greens then the Lib Dems. His father is currently in prison for filming himself, amongst other things, giving electric shocks to a ten year old girl whilst he was dressed as a little girl wearing nappies. A Challenor and his husband both dress as little girls in nappies.

Summed up perfectly.
How they think and behave is how they will vote on issues in the future if elected
If we elect those who support this descent into Hell then you can be certain that they will promote the campaign at Holyrood.
You only have to look at the Greens and the SNP to see the vigorous and sustained support on offer. They condone active aggression by the Wokerati and label debate by Women as phobia.
Those who continue to remain silent are letting voters down. Silence empowers them.
A question tonight for those invited to debate on STV –
Do you believe that Queer Theory has any role in determining policy in Scotland?
I see Pete Wishart has set up a blog of his own.
So here we have a sitting MP who is going to rant on a blog about who perceives as SNP bad bloggers who are critical about SNP policy and movement towards Indy.
Shoots foot many times just to be sure. Ridiculous tweets slagging off vast sections of your own supporters of Indy are not enough for him apparently !
Mind boggles .
Just made a small donation to ALBA I hope my bank doesn’t get upset because I am using their money ( overdraft) ha ha .
Anyway thanks to whoever posted the link to the ALBA crowdfunding page it might be helpful if you could possibly post it again to remind people every little helps ,
it’s a bit mercenary we help them to help us it’s a win win situation so please give what you can we don’t have much time left .
Mia writes a superb hard hitting piece which highlights the absurd and sinister legislation that is lurking under the radar. One of the correspondents rather sheepishly stated that Mary Whitehouse might have been right after all. We are in seriously dangerous territory.
Like many of the non LBGT etc group I have been bewildered by the triumphalism and lobbying of the gay lobby. As a ‘straight’ person conforming to my version of normality I have conceded that the gay community have the right to lead their lives free of prejudice and in a spirit of mutual tolerance. In recent years we have segued from that position to being bombarded and indoctrinated on the ills of homophobia. This has led on to the nauseating concept of queer culture and the line that shall not be crossed of paedophilia. We are frequently told that Holyrood’s hosts the gayest parliament in the world. I admit to being ambivalent about that as it appears to be forgotten that the SG is supposed to govern all of Scotland and not just the narrow interests of their clan.
If the protagonists in the Scottish landscape support this reduction of the age of consent either openly or by omission we need to know. If this is really the case then lines have been crossed by such a wide margin which would truly disgust the majority of decent folk in Scotland and it should be the end of Holyrood’ as a political experiment. Well done the Rev for exposing these freaks but if they infiltrate the mainstream they need to be exposed.

Nail hit on head.
It’s not rocket science to write, review, approve and publish unambiguous texts.
If errors get past these processes (and they do), immediate apology and correction is the least to be expected.
Digging in of heels, claims of hostile and deliberate mis-representation, etc. defend the errors and so suggest they are not errors at all.

Questions for Nicola Sturgeon tonight –
What have you done to further independence for Scotland since you became leader of the SNP?
Where is the money ring-fenced for the campaign for independence?
Why have you never made a statement specifically supporting Joanna Cherry after what she has been through when you make a video supporting abusive TRAs?
Although these are questions best kept for her sit down one-one interview, they will never be asked.
I said this yesterday, forgive me if I think its worth repeating.
If a lobby group is so very good at persuation that they can elicit £1 million pounds out of Scot Gov taxpayers money.
Why do they need the money in the first place?
Call me old fashioned or naive, but in my mind, first there is an issue/cause, then a group of people upset or affected by it get together, get organised,**** do their own fundraising, **** and start to campaign/lobby to have the relevant laws changed in order to sort the problem.
At what point did it become, we have such a big problem here, that we have become a big and powerful lobby group, so give us your money?
At what point did it become a pension scheme for campaigners.
As I understand it, when Stonewall first started, it was volunteers, it was hunting down the back of the sofa for funds, and it was legitimate legal discrimination they were fighting.
And well done to them, for all the positives they achieved in getting the laws changed – for the better, and tackling head on – endemic bias and homophobia and lesbian-phobia.
But at what point, AND BY WHAT CRITERIA, did it become the Government (of Westminster or Holyrood) to start funding them?
And inherent in that, is there not a danger, of a conflict of interest.
Many people, in many professions, will have experienced the ‘toothless tiger’ syndrom of the Union Rep, going native, once they get a taste of the high life – gifted down from management. ‘specially when it came to righting woman’s pay discrepencies, eh boys?
So the head of the lobby group has a meeting with Government officials, we demand such and such. Governement… how intersting, such things take time, many, many years, here’s a large sum of money, see you next year.
And what do I get for my money, as a taxpayer? £1 million is lot of money.
What am I paying for, a building? Councils all round the country have office space a plenty.
Legal representation for those mistreated? That would surely differ from year to year, have to be specifically covered by a contract, and could/should be funded by the organisation itself, and or its own crowdfunders. In any event, there will be evidence of receipts, and a thumb nail sketch of the legal issues being challenged…. so that the law can be changed for the better and it doesn’t happen again!
Staff, full and part time? Really, is that what my money should be paying for? I pay for civil servants and politicians, and council workers, should I really be funding individual lobby groups – who’s concerns I might not share?
One of the reasons Stonewall embraced the whole Transgender ideology, was because they had won the major legal battles that they had been created for.
I’m not sure my taxes should be used to give Lobby group activists a ‘job for life’, while they scratch around and look for a new cause celebre.
One of the first things Alba can do is have a look to see how this money is allocated, and if, as it appears to be, it is being done on a ‘those and such as those’ basis, for little if any public benefit, put a stop to it, or ensure a level playing field for all legitimate organisations applying.
Silver Darling
Yep nice try but I doubt if that’s ever going to happen on TV it’s one of those out of bounds questions that can’t be mentioned.
We have to accept these changing times I suppose , in my lifetime as early as probably the 1960s it was regarded as a criminal offence to follow a homosexual lifestyle, times change and people’s views and attitudes change I believe most people regard the lifestyle as none of their business it a private matter for the people involved.
Having said that while I have a view and my view is as valid as the people who live it that world they are able to do what they want just as I am free to do what I want I don’t agree with their lifestyle but that’s my opinion and I won’t be silenced into accepting their rights Trump my rights.
It seems to be now I have to give and these people have a right to take there is a line and I am not prepared to give way it’s that simple I have biology on my side all they have is a lifestyle I am supposed to accept I think people have compromised enough it’s time get a fkn grip .
Here and no further normal people have been pushed far enough we have some standards we won’t give up ,
Live and let live is not one side constantly being pressured and having to give way.

FWIW: in my view there is also a wider problem and it applies outside Scotland too. That is: the funding of single/narrow issue lobby groups by “governments” to give support to policies which do not have popular support or interest.
These groups are then quoted in media channels to amplify and legitimize their position as if it comes from an authority.
Well this thread shows what just one of those “authorities” looks like.
I’m not a Scot but I’ll donate to Alba on the back of their women’s conference highlighting and standing against this sinister misdirection of policy, done apparently in the name of “feminism”.
I hope that Wings and Alba continue to pursue truth. Good luck with independence too but, in my opinion, the challenge of our times is to get good people into politics who do the work to identify and stand against these destructive and corrupting forces. They, in turn, need to be supported by proper, relentless journalism – Keep going!

Just had an SNP leaflet delivered through my door.
Despite the constituency allegedly having around a thousand members delivery of leaflets is down to around fifteen to twenty activists many of whom are either councillors or paid parliamentary aides.
Meeting in the two branches typically attract around 10 to 12 attendees.
The SNP campaign is dying on its feet.
People at work are calling him the Tartan Trump.
Make Alba Moral Again. It has a ring to it. MAMA could be our symbolic Mother Mary. The eternal guardian and protector of the children.
Let’s not forget that they are campaigning for Crossdressers to have the right to be considered a woman (or a ‘girl’ as many of them refer to themselves), and have access to chaging rooms, prisons etc. They don’t even try to hide it. No Gender Dysphoria required.
See the definition of transgender including crossdresser in attached submission to UK Pailiament committe from Scottish Trans Alliance (Stomewall and LGBT Youth Scotland fully ‘endorsed’ these definitions in their submissions.

It’s a kind of funding carousel isn’t it? The Scottish Government gives aid to certain organizations but only those who conform to said government’s rules of ‘inclusivity’. These chosen organizations then ‘lobby’ the government on the policies which the Government is already minded to implement anyway. No matter how you look at it, that is an undemocratic way to run a legislature.
Yet another instance of the subversion of democracy demonstrated by this SNP Government and an underhanded appropriation of more power to the executive. The SNP just becomes more and more alarming in its overreach. I deeply distrust its instincts.
Just been told that the interpretation of allowing 10 year olds to have sex under this legislation is “just ignorance” – that’s not what it means at all. The people involved don’t do social media and have now idea what is going on other than what they read in the MSM (Herald and National, I think). they are also of the “Two votes SNP because Nicola has a plan” variety- as most independence supporters I know personally seem to be. Thankfully lockdown mean I don’t really see them that much because if I had to put up with their shite until May I’d explode.
@J at 13 April, 2021 at 2:00 pm
The Times article you mention contains:
Lloyd Melville, an SNP activist and National Communications Officer for SNP Students, said “The Alba Party is full of socially conservative, regressive bigots.”
I remember it was an American politician who responded to claims that his rhetoric appealed only to ignorant red-necks by stating that even ignorant red-necks deserved political representation.
As a socially conservative, regressive bigot, I guess the SNP don’t want my vote. Nae probs. They won’t be getting it.
So just what are the Rainbow Greens hiding in their sinister charter that they’re desperate that the public doesn’t get to see it, and what’s more why are the Scottish Greens allowing them to use their website.
We must not vote for the Greens come the 6th of May, the party is utterly consumed by trans issues.

Obviously a mistake I meant 10000x £5 but really clever of you to spot it.
I have joined Alba and also donated but the sum raised is disappointing considering our need for this party to thrive and be effective.
As for your ramblings about disinformation only you know what you are talking about.
Nicola Sturgeon doesn’t want another indy voice at the STV/BBC leaders debates.

– Yes, especially as if you do not fit with ‘inclusivity’ as defined i.e. your organisation is single sex, then you are barred from funding and from meetings with ScotGov.
Women’s organisations opposing Gender Self ID are in this category but also other NGO such as Rape Crisis centres have to include males lest they lose their funding. Most have fallen now.
Then they use this to justify why services have been ‘inclusive’ for years, with no data to investigate otherwise, for example, on how many women self exclude due to males being in situ in refuges or rape crisis centres.
The whole thing is a racket, and to use the phrase so disliked, it IS like gaslighting, because there is no way to make a point, no way to have a voice, no way to have funding and anyone that tries is ground down, abused online and afraid to speak out, playing havoc with mental health.
The women’s groups are then accused of being funded by right wing US bodies as these Trans activists simply can’t accept that ordinary women are funding these groups, using their time to write reports, complete the analysis and do the research, organise meetings that that funded bodies should have done but wont.
I will never forgive the SNP for the rank betrayal of women and children.
All I can hope is that Alba have constituency candidates next time as I will never vote for the SNP again while they continue to endanger women and children’s rights, safety and privacy.
I would safely say at the next SNP conference, if there ever is one will be a sight to behold.
It will be void of long term activists and the mainstream indy people,instead it will be a spectacle akin to the “Rocky horror picture show” x 20. Full of queers, freaks, geeks, trans nappy fetishers and god knows what.

“I will never forgive the SNP for the rank betrayal of women and children.”
The tragedy is bar a miracle, this whole disaster is going to unfold exactly as predicted, primarily because too much of the Scottish media wants it that way.
This is a win-win for them – keep their mouths shut about the consequences, thus keep getting money from Holyrood and local councils for advertising and “subscription” revenues.
When it all blows up in a series of inevitable “evil predators abuse badly written laws to abuse the vulnerable” incidents, they can be the chorus of crocodile tears as their purchase and viewing figures will hit the roof as they milk it for all it’s worth (just wait for the inevitable “enquiry” where “lessons have been learnt” – and gullible Joe Public won’t twig they knew what was coming all along from day one and said nothing about it because it wasn’t in their financial interest.
Remember Blair and what his gang got up to when they had the national press in their back pocket? It’s the same in miniature.
If that sounds far fetched, remember the way they all kept their mouths shut and kept peddling the “approved script” over Rangers, so the Scottish general public had to discover from ENGLISH based reporters the truth before those up north admitted to it?
Scotland – the land of “what’s in it for me first?”, and until that mentality’s binned we’ll never be truly independent.
I forgot to add LMAO at end, sorry

Over the course of my life, I’ve changed my allegiance between a wide range of political parties but have still maintained social conservativism as a way of life.
Maw, paw and the bairns.
The MSM avoidance of the Alba Party is not due to laziness or negligence. Its a deliberate ploy to hide Alba from the general public. The establishment recognises the threat and really doesn’t want many people deciding not to waste their list votes on the SNP (thereby gifting a fair number of seats to the yoons) and giving Alba a chance. It’s the establishment’s worst nightmare. Not a lot of time between now and May 6th to counteract this unfortunately. Whether this sneaky interference with the democratic process will deter/ prevent a significant number of votes going to Alba remains to be seen.

Have you received email from your regional coordinator? If so you could try them for help.
What region are you in? I’m mid Scotland and Fife contact is

I’m getting more and more angry about this absolute insanity. Is it not obvious that people like this have profound mental health issues? They should be treated accordingly.
The western world has indulged in media propaganda, pseudo science, crude scientism, fear promotion, oligarchism and cavalier indifference to the principles of personal freedom and political democracy.

The Scottish government has been totemic, as has the so called opposition. Westminster is no different.
None deserves reelection.
Alba should forge the hammer that smashes this rotten system.
It would be doing the pissed off youth of Scotland a great service.

I think the SNP are trolling the people of Scotland, or they really are a bunch of cults.
Although after watching the launch by the Alba party I see they’re fully signed up to the identity politics guff. They’ve eased up on the support for trans women, be interested on their stance on trans men.
Lost interest when they went all in on women being the focus of policies, take it the other half of the population aren’t important.

Republic of Scotland @ 4.20
I live in Stirling.I joined ALBA on day one, I’ve ticked all the boxes to be informed of any action I can volunteer to be involved in and I learn today, at 5.20, that Alex Salmond was doing a photo call to launch the Mid-Scotland and Fife campaign, 1 mile away and I could have been there.
How are we supposed to know that these things are happening if they don’t contact their own members? or was it private?
To those asking about contacting ALBA and campaign materials….
At the risk of sounding a little ‘tin hat’, I’ve repeatedly, and I mean like just about every time, had to go into my bin/junk folder to get ALBA emails, even though I mark them as trusted and not spam every time.
I’ve had emails (because I’ve checked every time) from ALBA detailing leafleting and campaigning info, posters and banners etc.
Please check your bins, as you may have the same issue.
(I use a gmail app, for info….)

Good to see you’re showing such an interest. I was happy to be proven wrong and joined to see if there would be more than just policies for women.
I forget that only those pure of thought and deed can be included in the new bold, progressive Scotland.
Don’t need the details though as just need to cancel the recurring payment.

@ Meg merrilees at 5.46
I could have misunderstood, but I think the photo calls have been for the press, due to their having to be spread out 2 metres apart!
This, for instance (link to barrheadboy.com), refers to “over 40 photographers and journalists” at the Lothians launch. Maybe not much room for anyone else.
Crazycat – makes sense! I’m just too keen to get doing something to spread the news. Once an activist it’s hard to sit at home.
Hungry to be leafletting.
Extending a remark that the late Shirley Williams once made about David Owen’s SDP Party, it seems to me that Alba is going to be the heterosexual wing of the Scottish Independence movement. Yes, there are plenty of like-minded folk in the SNP and probably some in the Green Party, but the political and cultural weather in these parties is made by the alphabet folk and their running dogs. I doubt that this is a development which could have been foreseen even a year ago by those reading the entrails of Scottish politics.
Very interesting – listening to 6pm news on BBC R4 – talking about David Cameron and the ‘lobbying’ scandal.
Opposition calling for an independent, cross-party enquiry as otherwise ‘it’s like asking the government to mark their own homework’ and the scope of the proposed internal investigation is too limited in what information it can gain access to……

The MSM avoidance of the Alba Party is not due to laziness or negligence. Its a deliberate ploy to hide Alba from the general public”
No it’s not. As I mentioned here last week, ALBA are extremely poor at communication. Apart from their own Facebook page, there’s nothing. I receive no emails, I see no sponsored ads, posts or information whatsoever on Facebook. It’s probably the same on the other platforms. They’re just not putting the effort into getting the word out which is why I also asked over a week ago, are we being scammed?
They’re very poor on social media which in this day and age, is a bit hard to swallow.
Mist001,
Are you serious? Only two weeks in existence – that’s a bit harsh. If you want something slick, you can always join the Tory party.
The Labour Party was going to drain the swamp and save us from the Tories.
The SNP was going to drian the swamp and and save us from the Labour Party.
The ALBA Party is going to drain the swamp and save us from the SNP.
Bit of a pattern developing here.
And we’ll hear of the ALBA Party being “different to all the rest”.
We seem to be in the business of competing for the thickest electorate in Europe prize.
Surely not?
Because the ALBA Party wouldn’t let us down,,, would they?
Just a personal observation.

In my experience, people who are very cynical don’t join new political parties, which makes me doubt your credentials on this one.
Any truth in the rumour that Andrew Neil has agreed to host a Spectator TV debate on the future of the UK between Galloway and Salmond?

I was contacted yesterday by a lovely lady, Fiona, from Alba asking for some help with leaflets etc.
I’m still away working at the mo in Orkney but def up for it when I’m back on leave. For the first time in ages, I feel positive.
‘Any truth in the rumour that Andrew Neil has agreed to host a Spectator TV debate on the future of the UK between Galloway and Salmond?’
Andrew Neil suggested that some time ago and it was accepted by Galloway, but not by Salmond. As far as I know, that’s the way it still stands.
Like you, I think it would be a great success.

Regarding the accusations of homophobia, in particular regarding the delightful subject of this thread, please bear in mind that, when this dude says he is ‘very gay’ in his bio, this is because he ‘identifies’ as a woman, and because is attracted to females, then he, (in his head) is in fact a lesbian.
Objecting to this is not homophobia. His sexual orientation is not homosexual. But it’s also irrelevant, because regardless of his sexual orientation, if he posted about fucking his child in the ass as he has, then that would be unacceptable. Frankly, I don’t know why this guy doesn’t have Police Scotland at his door, but given the state of the Hate Crime laws, it’s more likely that I will have a visit from the constabulary for posting this.
Gay and lesbian people are rightly pissed off with this colonisation of the language that describes them, like women in general. But then, as we have seen, these dudes believe they have the keys to the kingdom, because, er they are the most oppressed ever.
I read today that Sturgeon’s approval ratings are at an all-time low. I also heard the SNP is desperate to raise funds. Yesterday I heard their election pamphlets did not include a picture of Nicola… everything’s connected.
There are losers and there are systematic losers. Sturgeon is a systematic loser.
If it wasn’t for BBC Scotland and other institutions providing covering fire, general dishonesty about things like membership numbers, not to mention party funds, the SNP’s ongoing implosion would be clear to all.
The SNP is heading for a big fall. This election is going to shock people.

Andy – there hasn’t been any campaigning from any of the Parties yet – everything was suspended because of Prince Philip’s death and none of the manifestos have been launched yet so, to an extent, every one is in the same boat – although some get help from the media and some don’t.
I think the most telling words in the Rainbow Green tweet above are the words ‘our communities’.
Scott – I haven’t had an e mail about campaign material either and yes, I did put my name forward as a volunteer.
@ Hatuey at 7.53
The one I got through the post this morning did; it took up half of one side. My name and my region had been printed on a white strip at the edge of the other side, so I assume only one leaflet has been designed, that will cover the entire country.
It waxed lyrical about dealing with Covid, but did not include the word “independence” even once. The closest it got was referring to a need for ” a fairer, more prosperous Scotland, and the means to achieve it”.
I used it to light my wood-burning stove.

I have been contacted by Alba ref.volunteering and awaiting a reply which I expect to receive soon.
AS FAR I CAN SEE…
D’Hondt was NEVER going to produce Independence for Scotland, because of the MISSING LINK in the chain of the electoral process in Holyrood Elections.
As long as Scotland only had ONE Independence Party, then that party simply could not win in both Constituency and Regional votes. And even a clear SNP majority in the Constituency Vote would leave the THREE Unionist PARTIES unopposed in the Regional seats. The NET EFFECT was to produce an insufficient and unpersuasive Indy majority with which to make a clear and winning case for Independence to present to 10 Downing Street.
In Unionist eyes, this was the perfect model for Scottish Devolution. Let the SNP do all the work of administration without EVER being able to threaten the lucrative Union with a Supermajority at Holyrood. That ‘EVER’, was the MISSING LINK
Now that a SECOND Independence party, ALBA, has been created, in addition to the SNP, the MISSING LINK is in place FOR THE FIRST TIME, and the ‘greatest threat to the Union’ is now a reality.
Consequently, this 2021 Holyrood election is virtually an Independence Referendum.
And how England knows it. And, has been preparing for it since 2014 and the elevation of Nicola Sturgeon to the Office of First Minister, leading to the derailment of the SNP as the primary force for Scottish Independence, due to a points change in 2014, sending the Indy Train off in the direction of a devolved LGBTI-Trans Scotland, en route to a sometime, some day land of Independence.
The next few weeks constitute a window of opportunity for Scotland not seen in over 300 years. But it’s a window which the British State is doing everything to board up, or should that be ‘brick up’, through its attacks on ALBA.
Please vote ALBA on the Regional vote and let’s make that MISSING LINK do its job in the Holyrood Electoral chain and pull Scotland over the line to Independence.
Ps. Alex has asked all Indy supporters to vote SNP 1 ALBA 2, and while I am in no mood to vote SNP, nevertheless I do get the pure arithmetic of voting SNP in the Constituency vote.
manandboy 8.18pm
I totally agree with everything you say. If we don’t grab this opportunity we won’t get another one. By the time the next election comes around the rules will have been changed so that ALBA or any other new independence party will be ineffective at Holyrood.

Alba are on 3% of the regional vote. That amazes me but the facts are the facts. They won’t get a seat. Doesn’t help the MSM have largely ignored them. No inclusion in the TV debates. Something is wrong in Scotland. The SNP are on 51% of the constituency vote. Do you know what you are voting for? Scotland is not too wee or stupid but they are too corrupt.

Tannadice boy
What poll?
I haven’t seen any polling since the 7th. And the ground work would have been earlier.
Where are you getting the info from?
Tannadice Boy @9:09
If Alba are still on 3%, and that’s a big if, then they are not evenly on 3% across all regions. In a couple or three regions they will be doing better. Three times in Holyrood electoral history a party has got someone elected on the list with just 5.2% in a region.
With three weeks of campaigning left, Alba’s hope of seats is entirely realistic.
Hello Tannadice Boy @ 9.09 pm. The 3% figure is meaningless. It is calculated on a national (all Scotland) basis, but what counts is what the figure is in each of the 8 regions. Since 3% is an average, it means that it is higher than 3% in some of the regions and lower in others (probably in the South of Scotland and the Highlands, for reasons we don’t need to go into).
This meaningless 3% figure is put about by people or companies who want you and all of us to believe what you just said: namely, that ALBA ‘won’t get a seat’. And they want you to draw the conclusion that you are wasting your vote if you vote ALBA – so don’t bother.
The SNP (with their real waster of a ‘both votes SNP’ slogan) want you to believe that nonsense as well.
Don’t be fooled, especially if you live anywhere near Tannadice Park. I’ll guarantee you that ALBA is polling well above 3%. It’ll probably be higher there, in what I presume is your Region, than in just about any other Region in the country.
But they won’t be telling you that, will they? Because they have an agenda … Even the 3% might well be an under-estimate anyway … Don’t be fooled!
Vote ALBA on your the List vote, and encourage others to do the same!
Just inadvertently watched 5 mins of the dumbos debate , that these 5 cretins are the best that Scotland can produce is indicative of the pathetic state we find ourselves in. They are an absolute embarrassment to our country , all they did in that 5 mins I watched was speak over each other
Sturgeon appeared very confidant in her posture I think she is relying on Alex’s proposal of snp 1 and ALBA 2 to return her to power which is sickening

Been working playing catch up.
Just wondered after yesterday’s posts where I could find the expose.
I don’t understand the animosity being directed towards people who are questioning how effective (or otherwise) Alba’s communications are with their members. These are legitimate concerns.
Since signing up for membership on day one I have tried by various means to contact them, but have had no response. I have tried to participate in their online events but without success (I suspect it’s because I live overseas). I would really like to see an international branch established and would be willing to work with others on this but without someone to talk to at party HQ about this, this is going nowhere. The fact that there isn’t a specific email address by which members can contact them is beyond frustrating.

A Twitter post by Stefan Hoggan-Radu. Since Eva Comrie left the SNP to join the ALBA party Stefan jumped up to 1st place on the list (from about 7th) – because 1st place is reserved for a disabled candidate so John Sweeney stays in second place. If John Swinney should lose his constituency seat and SNP gain 1 on the list he’ll be an MSP in Holyrood!

I am Voting Sarwar because he is the only one who can defeat her at the polls.
Been over this ground before.
