Wings Over Scotland

Allo…allo…allo…
Now then… now then…now then

Once again, the plods are ‘all over the place’

Except Holyrood and the Scottish media.

If this was happening in a banana republic it would be unbelievable, but it is Scotland today so situation normal

Really shocked by this, but nothing surprises me anymore about the Police and judiciary in Scotland. Especially when you have a LA in the pocket of the government , We are the best wee corrupt country in the world.

Just saw the tweet on Murrell.

Peter Murrell is a disgrace. Anyone with a shred of integrity would have stepped down long ago, at least temporarily.

For him to limp on, while under a fucking police investigation for presumably defrauding people who believed they were contributing to a ring fenced fund to be used specifically for the purpose of fighting indyref2, is ridiculous. Shocking is not a big enough word.

Instead he has tried to cover it up and keep it under wraps for as long as he could, presumably to keep control over all the other things a new CEO might uncover… He may even be destroying evidence. He should not be anywhere near that office or role at this point.

Murrell absolutely needs to step down, now. Completely unacceptable he is charge for another second.

Furthermore the idea that Murrell could be overseeing the effective appointment of a new FM whose Lord Advocate may or may not take a soft line approach on his possible crimes is
even more shocking and outrageous.

Of course Murrell will be desperate to tilt the scales for Humza. His ‘life’ (as he sees it) may well depend on it.

(If Peter Murrell ends up doing a stretch after what he plotted for Salmond… I think I might take up religion myself, as there definitely IS a God. I hope he is shitting himself, having to take sleeping pills to get a nights kip.)

Look at the smoking ruin the Murrell’s have left the SNP and the independence movement in… and there is surely a lot more damaging shit to come out.

I had written an entry on previous talk in defence of real progressive values and the justification for those on the left to stand with people with opposing views on certain issues.

I know it is obvious but when dealing with the BS of politics, it does wear you down and you get the expectation that this is the way things are and there is no alternative.

When I look at things from this perspective I have come to the conclusion that it isn’t so called fringe parties that are radical but the mainstream parties, which includes the SNP, which are. They are radical and out of step with public feeling but not in a good way.

This ‘negative’ radicalism I am talking about is highlighted here in this article. Anybody with an ounce of common sense would take pause and suspend posting on the Police twitter feed but no, they plough ahead.

I don’t know if it is just a simple mistake of that Police LGBTI association is outside the organisational structure of the Police, it is still symptomatic of far out of sync the structures of our society is with those of the population it is supposed to serve.

I think though, it isn’t going to last long now though. With the cost of living crisis and the only solution offered by those in authority would be laughable if the situation wasn’t so desperate, reality is going to come crashing down on these organisations and individuals pushing not only this but their own pet agendas.

As the saying goes, civilisation is only three meals away from chaos. While we are a long, long away from that, the perception is completely different particularly when governments are not dealing with the immediate problems people are facing but instead obsessing over headline grabbing issues that are unworkable.

People are going to lose faith in mainstream politics and start looking for alternatives and this is where Alba can come to fore.

For Mr Yousaf, this may well apply:
In Islamic law, HARAM refers to any act that is forbidden by God and is one of the five Islamic commandments (al-‘ahkam al-khamsa) that define the morality of human action.
Acts that are HARAM are prohibited in the Qur’an, the word of God directly dictated to Muhammad according to Islamic belief. If something is considered haram, it remains prohibited no matter how good the intention or how honorable the purpose.

Homosexual behaviour is not specifically condemned in Islamic scripture any more than it is the Judeo-Christian texts. Tradition, commentary and interpretation, oral and later textual, however does condemn it as socially inappropriate conduct associated with polytheism.
Mr Yousaf will know all about this.
Send for the polis? not if they do Grindr and Tindr.

You recall all those grooming gangs that operated in England. I have always suspected that there was/is a similar problem in Scotland and that it is/was simply covered up and not investigated properly by Police Scotland. Why would anyone think it just stopped at the border…

But anyway, how the fuck can Police Scotland be raising money for an organization under an active investigation for long term and repeated child abuse allegations.

I like to think there must be a lot of decent folk in the rank and file of Police Scotland but certainly the leadership is awful.

Lastly, when you further consider their disgraceful role in the Salmond stitch-up it goes from the farcical to the deeply sinister, more like Police (State) Scotland.

I detest all the wokes in the SNP.
But that Kaucab Stewart one takes the biscuit.

Another gravy trougher.
She was at a rally in Glasgow, rightly condemning the rape of female prisoners in Iran BUT voted for the GRR.
That could be considered racist IMO.
Was photographed standing in front of the ‘decapitate terfs’, sign but saw nothing.

Her later attempt at damage limitation, both sides are as bad as each other.
I despise these fake liars

Whoever wins this internal SNP election and whatever happens to the fate of your independence hopes, how long will it take to rectify the utter ruin which the SNP has inflicted on Scotland? The ruin is not just economic but perhaps more important, cultural. This is what happens when single issue third and fourth rate people who shouldn’t be in charge of a parish council are given devolved powers. Thank God they don’t run an independent country.”

“A Dundee community fridge which has given away 250 tonnes of food in three years says without urgent help it will be forced to close.

Folk were being turned away last week…

2. It seemed like an easy question until we asked John Swinney for a straight answer.

Why did Perthshire’s two SNP MSPs vote against a motion calling for the long-delayed dualling of the A9 to be treated as an urgent priority?
The deputy first minister’s Perthshire North constituency is cut in half by the route and many residents living in southern neighbour Jim Fairlie’s patch also use the road.

The £3 billion project will see improvements to the link from Perth to Inverness.
But Transport Minister Jenny Gilruth, a Fife MSP, recently confirmed an SNP promise to dual major sections of the road by 2025 will now not be met.
During a debate at Holyrood earlier this week, Inverness and Nairn MSP Fergus Ewing was the only SNP politician who ignored party enforcers to join criticism over the delay.
Questions not addressed

The Courier asked Mr Swinney and Mr Farilie why they voted against the motions.
Mr Fairlie did not respond to a request for comment.
Mr Swinney’s team initially provided a lengthy response that did not directly address any of the questions we asked.

But in a bizarre twist, after The Courier pressed for Mr Swinney to answer the points raised, his office refused to comment and asked to “withdraw” his earlier remarks.

No further explanation has been offered for the pair’s votes.”

Police Scotland (2022): The National Beat (Song Version 1.8):

Our values: Integrity, fairness and respect.

We act with honesty and integrity and do not compromise or abuse our position.

The diverse words like inclusive has lost all meaning. It just means preferential treatment. Parity of rights has been secured.

These organisations are just ripping the piss out of people everywhere they go.

These organisations should be disbanded. Its time to get back to putting people in jobs that can actually do them based on life experience.

Sexual predators and child abusers in particular instinctively seek out positions or groups that are effectively ‘police-free-zones’.

These groups due to ‘political sensitivities’, like race or sexual orientation or social status, become effectively police-free-zones.

In the past the priesthood was a classic example. Police-free-zone for many a decade…

The LGB community is a modern day police-free-zone and therefore potentially a modern day host.

Because the predators and abusers can sense that within their ranks they too can enjoy ‘protected status’ and will be allowed to commit their crimes untouched by the Police.

This is how the grooming gangs in England operated within the normal Pakistani community. Using accusations of ‘racism’ to make themselves into a police-free-zone.

Whenever you give a group a police free environment, the predators and abusers can immediately sense it, and they will move in and exploit it.

So I think it is highly possible that this LGBT Youth group (clue is in the name) was being used a grooming farm, providing a steady pipeline of vulnerable young people.

It is shocking the police are so causal about it, that they are actively raising money for them while supposedly conducting an active investigation. No wonder that poor guy / victim is livid.

Shauny Boy is hilarious.

People are entitled to believe what they want, live as they like, dress as they like. What they are not entitled to do is force their ideology on anyone else. The minute their ideology encroaches on others without due permission, that becomes an offence. Little wonder these ‘trans’ are getting away with ‘murder’: they have their enablers everywhere, in public office.

Kate Forbes is going through hell right now because some object to her religious beliefs, yet she has stated that she will obey the laws of the land and will not force her beliefs on others. She cannot be subjected to discrimination in her job or in applying for another job because of her beliefs. That is one of the exceptions in the list of protected characteristics in the 2010 Equality Act.

So sick of these ‘trans’ and the SNP and public sector ‘wokerati’ having to answer to no one. You are right, Rev: campaigning for and raising money for a group that is under investigation is like something out of a fantasy novel, but with less conviction. No pun intended.

Kevin McKenna has written a brilliant expose of the hypocrisy at the heart of the SNP, in relation to Mhairi Black, MP, who called women who feared for their rights under the new GRR, Jeremy Hunts, in a video later leaked to the public, yet that same MP expects us all to bend the knee for ‘trans’ rights – all of which they already have. We are talking about an extension of rights here, something which no other group has or asks for, yet, here we go again, with the ‘wokerati’ in public life making exceptions for one favoured group.

I wish there was a GE tomorrow and a SE the day after, so that we could vote them out, the ones who turn their faces every which way the wind is blowing. LGBTYS should have no place in the police. Most of the ‘trans’ lobby organisations are charities only in name and actually raise funding (and are given it out of the public purse) for political lobbying, not for charitable works. If any of them was a real charity, at least one of them would be campaigning for third spaces for ‘trans’, the end to transitioning children and young people and to leaving women in peace.

Not one, and no individual in any way associated with them (the ‘trans’ lobby) has ever done so, to my knowledge, although I could be wrong. Scotland is well down the path to a totalitarian society, and still we read utterly brainless letters in The National from people who have not a clue what lies behind this whole TQ+++++++ agenda that has captured the SNP, the Greens, the Lib Dems and Labour, and every public body from councils to the police.

you’d expect Police Scotland to be taking that pretty seriously, right

Given that our wonderful Police Scotland and Scottish Parliament maintained complete radio silence on reports about the grooming gang preying on vulnerable kids in Glasgow…. no, I didn’t expect them to take the protection of children very seriously.

Scotland does not take child protection seriously. We take bullshit seriously instead. Wha’s like us?

Had never heard of this Purple Friday patter before, for good reason – it’s just been made up. Our homosexual First Minister and her homosexual husband have decided to go out with a bang, so have just created another (what a gay) day to have us all worship our sexual minority brethren.

Yay.

I have never been homophobic in my life, but recently it’s been sorely tempting to become so. But I am not allowing myself to be manipulated into mindless hate because of the two deeply damaged, closeted people currently at the head of the SNP.

This too shall pass.

I can’t and don’t get angry anymore. It’s all too ludicrous. This country is totally fucked. Round and round and round she goes, and where she stops no-one knows…

PS: Wonder if Pink knows her song got used. Bet they didn’t even ask. But she’s a gay ‘ally’ (like during the war, don’tcha know!) so she’d probably be alright with it anyway. Trustfall indeed.

No wonder the SNP have no time to fight for Scottish independence,,,the bastards are too busy “othering”.

Up to their eyeballs in gay committees, Trans committees, lesbian committees, young people with sexual orientation committees, and on and in it goes.

Thank God Sturgeon has stepped down.

Murrel will hopefully follow shortly. The elusive Peter Murrel. Pulling strings to the very end, trying his best to squeeze Yousaf in as First Minister.

Lets hope neither are CEO nor First Minister next month.

But the SNP need a complete clear out from top to bottom. Let’s hope Forbes and Regan get elected and begin the whole rotten process.

lorna campbell @12.17.
I think it is possible that elections and the public domain have been so degraded/corrupted that there is no point in voting. a mighty ‘non vote’ might be more effective than compliance with normal civil activities.

Am I being naive in thinking Police Scotland should not be involved with this “charity” nor should schools? OT but some idea of the direction of travel of this “progressive ” shit is going: Spain has legalized BESTIALITY as long as the poor animal does not rquire veterinary treatment as a result…That’s what the TQ+ stands for. Sickening.

Now your talking Ash Regan calls for Peter Murrell to quit, at the very least he should be suspended pending the investigation.

link to 12ft.io

As I’ve mentioned on the pages before I have heard rumours of SNP politicians attending sex parties with young men (or boys). Supposedly the police are aware and all they have done is threaten into silence the neighbours who complained about comings and goings and noise from the property where these parties took place.

Now it may be that these rumours are not true but as it has becomes clear the SNP and greens have been infiltrated by and sold out to groups like LGBTYouth Scotland whose members have been involved in paedophilia and sex abuse. It would now appear that the police have been infiltrated by these perverts as well.

If the house of murrell collapses will sturgeons successor have the guts to investigate these rumours and if any crimes have been committed ensure those responsible are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law?

Of course it may be that a police force from outside Scotland, maybe Manchester or the met, will have to brought in to ensure corruption and criminality in police Scotland is dealt with as well. I doubt any of the candidates would do this as it would mean them having to take responsibility for their part in turning Scotland into the corrupt mess it is today.

The SNP have destroyed Scotland. I hope everyone who has voted to for these criminals is proud of themselves.

The big question. When is Craig Murray releasing those emails?

I took a look at the link to PIRC (Police Investigations & Review Commissioner) provided by Republicofscotland at 12:43 pm.. And yes, I think he/she is right, don’t hold your breath waiting for that outfit to do much.

Legal matters only.

The British Constitution, the English Constitution, the Scottish Constitution.

Panic in England over the Coronation of prince Charles.

A letter has been sent to prince Charles via Westminster by the people regarding prince Charles Constitutional position and Westminsters position within the Constitution,

This letter is based on the foundation of Englands Magna Carta, which converted into the English Bill of Rights, which is claiming to be the British Bill of Rights.

The equivelent in Scotland, was the Declaration of Arbroath as a foundation converted to the Claim of Right.

Both inScotland and England were passed in their respective parliaments prior to the fake treaty of union.

Both in there own way,
are the only written identifiable Constitutional rights of people over parliaments and courts and right to Jury trials, and monarchy.,

England is Claiming that the Constitution is now British and that Scotland does not have one because it joined The new Britain.

The Constitutional Crises facing the Coronation of prince Charles is steadily growing in England.

Recent debate Reference to This conversation can be found on you tube,
The conversation is between Robert Vobes, own blog) in conversation with William Keyte’s. They have held three separate conversations on this spanning roughly four weeks .

How is Scotlands founding Constitution of the “Claim of Right” not included in with Englands ” Bill of Rights” (together) that would make the last written consolidated British Constitution via the treaty of union?

Police Scotland probably have their share of paedophiles so supporting LGBTYS makes sense.

The presence of unbridled demagoguery at the highest levels of government, with its influence and toxicity detectable throughout our institutions, not least our media, all strongly indicate that Scotland has completely failed to erect the prerequisite political-superstructure required of a successful sovereign-state.

With the scales now falling from our eyes to reveal the actuality of that which was allowed to go before, we have, I’ll argue, a once-in-a-life-time opportunity to build a politically and culturally precocious young Scotland, where our spoilers and outright enemies are already well known to us.

Also, where’s the talk of actual policy outwith of some vague rumblings about independence? Scotland is facing serious problems right now brought on by Tory cruelty and SNP incompetence so where’s the ideas to tackle Scotland’s problems?

Why also are supposed ‘lefty progressives’ cheering on Yousaf when he’s a neoliberal who has failed in every political role he’s had? When did cheering on people like this become left wing or is it really just a case that the Trans issue is purely a smokescreen for regressive social policies and conservative fiscal policies?

DGP

It has crossed my mind in an idle moment, that we need mass disengagement with the electoral process as presently constituted. It would have to be organized and campaigned for and would require mass participation (or non-participation). And there’s the problem.

The political scene in this country is so rotten and corrupt and immune to change which renders the electorate largely impotent, that something radical has to be tried. Trouble is I have no idea how this could be organized. Perhaps something along the lines of what already happened in the last election where people were writing on their voting papers ‘ None of the above’. It would have to be large numbers though, not just a small cohort of the already-convinced. There would have to be huge piles of rejected ballot papers that the parties could not ignore for it to be effective

However, this only works if many people are involved and it would have to be resolute as people might be spooked by the idea that some would be sneakily back-sliding and getting their chosen politicians in on their votes.( It is after all a secret ballot.) Rent strikes in the past did work but that involved solidarity among those directly involved and motivated.

I haven’t thought it out of course, as I said, but something has to give in this malaise in which the political elite has captured democracy and made it work for them. It’s patently obvious that they have contempt for the ordinary voter and getting to put a cross on a voting paper every few years is hardly democracy. ( It was actually a Tory grandee, Lord Hailsham, who correctly called it, several decades ago, an elective dictatorship.)

When Athenian democracy came into being, it was specifically to prevent the power of elites controlling the rest of society. Their form of democracy was not one we would recognise as democracy for a modern state – since you could only vote if you were a freeborn Athenian male – but they wouldn’t recognise our democracy either since the individual voter has no access to actual government and takes no part accept for the ritual of voting.

Sorry for the ineffectual rant, but sometimes frustration at the awful state of our state needs venting. The elites, not just of this country, have appropriated the process of democracy and we are just helpless onlookers. The self-satisfied gloating at our impotence that our politicians can hardly conceal, is galling.

Interesting comment re Ann Gloag and Sturgeon.

@ Pacman

” The Freemasons aren’t criminals and don’t commit crimes but the issue was the potential conflict of interest when investigating crimes individuals who is a Freemason. The issue was about accountability and that Police investigating crime impartially. ”

I’m convinced something of this nature is behind the seemingly untouchable status of the Sturrell Gang .

The connective masonic tissue of the Scottish Police/Politics/Judiciary/Media is long-established , runs deep and is virtually impregnable .

What else better explains the fact that in the most blatant display of vicious character assassination/attempted imprisonment re Alex Salmond – a case so * laughably * feeble it should never have made it past the PF’s front door – NOT A SINGLE PERSON was held accountable , the subsequent * enquiry * redacted to idiocy , and a protective wall erected around the perjuring complainants ?

The other – perhaps not unrelated – explanation for such a disgraceful perversion of justice/legal system ..ie .. the Sturrell Gang were protected owing to their capacity to deliberately sabotage of Independence will ( if accurate ) probably never be exposed .

Whatever the truth of all this , the article above demonstrates the degree of acquiescence by Police Scotland in the political agenda of the current SNP : albeit it is not the only public organisation in our country to be so captured , but it is one with significant power to affect the lives of * ordinary * people in our country

CHAS
The secular world does a good line in fear, money and power too.
That diabolic trinity was operating throughout the Covid «crisis» and made mincemeat of the concept of democracy whether direct or representative, and got away with it under the pretext of keeping the world «safe».
What we need is honesty and the return of the ability to trust those in public life.
We are also in dire need of accountability, planet wide.

The message all current events appear to be sending is that there seems to be an alarming and disturbing high level of tolerance and blind-eye attitude among high government ranks, prosecution service and police towards paedophilia, fraud, perjury and malicious prosecutions.

One cannot help but questioning why.

It seems it didn’t take long for the Crown Agent to blur boundaries between executive and judicial powers and collude with the civil service into instructing a police investigation around Mr Salmond, seemingly to legitimise his political prosecution on the basis of fabricated evidence.

Why wasn’t the same level of urgency and proactivity displayed by the crown agent towards these alleged cases of paedophilia, fraud, perjury or malicious prosecutions?

Are we to understand from this huge discrepancy that the figure of the crown agent is only interested in bringing forward prosecution cases against politicians who represent a threat to the union turning a blind eye to every other crime?

We all know paedophilia is a weakness which happens to be most useful for the powers that be, because it renders politicians with such perversion as perfect puppets for life.

But paedophilia is not the only “skill” useful to the powers that be, is it? A background in fraud could be equally advantageous. One guesses that the bigger and more callous the fraud, the bigger the value of the asset

One could also argue that acquired expertise in bringing forward malicious prosecutions to high expense to the public purse and ability to display a poker face afterwards, could be useful, say in the imaginary event where the state might need to resource to deploying malicious prosecutions to stop certain political inconveniences.

Even the ability, experience and willingness to comete perjury might be “transferrable” skills which could come in handy for the state in certain exceptional circumstances.

One can imagine that public exposure of the involvement of a executive member of a political party, a parliamentarian, a high ranking police officer, a member of the prosecution or judicial service in fraudulent activities would ruin somebody’s political career and family reputation.

One can also imagine that experienced and discrete fraudsters might even be in high demand in dangerous scenarios, such as, let’s say, the the imaginary situation where there is a very inconvenient election on the horizon where the state’s puppet had to be dethroned but the next model available has not even entered the public’s radar on what is considered acceptable.

But I suppose fraudsters, perjurers, paedophiles and those involved in malicious prosecutions are only useful for as long as they have not been publicly outsted. It is not difficult to see how in certain imaginary situations it might be convenient for the state to keep these rare, “skilled” assets in post and away from uncomfortable police investigations until their valuable skills have been fully exploited.

After watching how efficient the COPFS and the police were in creating the case against Mr Salmond utilising so many resources, one cannot help but wondering why the hell is taking so long for the investigation into the disappearance of the £600,000 to progress.

One cannot help but wondering if the reason for this lack of progress might even be because the usefulness for the state of those responsible in their current positions might outweight the state’s interest in preserving, for the benefit of the public, the pretence of functionality and impartiality of the COPFS, police, civil service and judiciary.

I am sure I am not the only one who has been wondering for quite sometime how many Derek McKays, how many paedophiles, how many fraudsters, how many perjurers and how many people involved in malicious prosecutions might be hiding wihtin SNP ranks, sitting or working in our parliament, hiding inside the higher echelons of the UK civil service, police, COPFS and courts. And more importantly, how many of those are, because of their rare “skills”, actively assisting the powers that be into thwarting Scotland’s independence.

This just what we want to hear and read from Ash Regan, hopefully she is taking advice from Salmond and lets say Murray in the background.

link to 12ft.io

I hope if Craig Murray is involved and I can’t say that he is or isn’t, that he reminds Ash Regan of this.

“A Scottish government, whether arising from the Scottish Parliament or from another body, needs in declaring Independence to ensure it has practical control of Scotland.

That means that the organs of the state have to acknowledge the Scottish state. All taxes collected must go to Edinburgh, not to Westminster. The judiciary must apply Scottish laws and not Westminster ones, where they conflict, and specifically apply all new laws post the Declaration of Independence. The police must answer only to Scottish authorities. Ultimately so must the military stationed in Scotland.

At the time Independence is declared, immediate action must be taken to ensure all civil servants, judges, police and military take an oath of loyalty to the people of Scotland and its new government, and renounce any previous loyalty to Crown and to UK political institutions. Anybody refusing must be summarily dismissed from their positions.

We have the example of Catalonia before us. We also have the example of Egypt’s only ever democratically elected leader, President Morsi, who died horribly in jail after being overthrown by a CIA coup because he failed to take the elementary precaution of dismissing and imprisoning all the military regime’s corrupt judges. He should have learnt from Fritz Bauer.”

Courtesy of Craig Murray.

Yes JGedd, it is social engineering, destroying societal norms – which are social constructs and thus ripe for destabilising – for the benefit of deviants. It makes it harder to argue for controls therefore “queering” society to the extent that most people no longer know what to think. Right is wrong, black is white. That’s what transgender ideology is too, the thin end of the wedge. Men can be women. Adults can be children and act and be permitted to act accordingly. We’ve got to stop this. Unfortunately, and I say this as a lesbian, there IS some overlap with the LGB on this.

@robert hughes

I agree with a lot you say but sturgeon is not a mason and hasn’t been corrupted by the British state.

Sturgeons past is full of red flags and she should never have been allowed into politics. She was slung out the law in disgrace and here she is now controlling the crown office and police. She is corrupt, her sole aim in politics is power and money. She duped Alex Salmond and then knifed him when he was no longer needed. She has achieved what she has by ripping off every dumb sap who ever voted for her. She doesn’t care about anything other than herself. Peter murrell is also corrupt, the pair of them have surrounded themselves with a collection of crooks and liars. They bribed and threatened the rest with the help of enforcers like Swinney and Ian McCann. They rigged the polls to show support for Indy that wasn’t there to make the Indy carrot just that little bit closer. Sturgeon never cared about independence, it was just a vehicle to dupe the cult. They’ve done all of this in plain sight, the media looked the other way and the SNP cult wheeshd for Indy and voted them back in time after time and Scotland slid into the sewer. Like Jonestown on a grand scale. Get them to believe you can change sex and they will believe anything.

Until people face up to the fact that the SNP’s corruption is a purely home grown example of absolute power being handed to the wrong people in the mistaken belief that Sturgeon would lead them to freedom, Scotland will never progress. But of course to do that would require snp voters taking accountability for allowing themselves to be duped into following a personality cult.

Who knows where this all ends but there is now the prospect of the first minister of Scotland being questioned and charged with serious criminal offences. Scotland is institutionally corrupt thanks the the SNP cult electing people they knew were crooks. Jim Sillars is right. What a mess.

“how many of those are, because of their rare “skills”, actively assisting the powers that be into thwarting Scotland’s independence.”

So long as the colonizer remains in charge of the ‘justice system’ his agents and the many other ‘recruits’ involved in ‘the racket’ tend to be afforded immunity from prosecution; meanwhile the native on the anti-colonial side seeking liberation ‘hardly ever seeks for justice in the colonial framework’. ‘The colonial regime owes its legitimacy to force’, subversion activity increasing whenever ‘colonialism is imperiled’ and where ‘they use the people against the people’ (Frantz Fanon).

How to dismantle the political elite?
Not easy.
One way would be to take steps to stop it being a career.
Limit the period of “ service” for a MSP to 8 years or a fixed number of elections- which elections should generally be for a fixed term.
Anyone serving the nation would have their job preserved so that they can return to their career & be generously rewarded for their sacrifice.
I have seen very little improvement in politicians with long service- quite the opposite.

Hard luck Scotland. No complaints. They took the game to France and nearly did it. Still in with a chance. ??

“Scottish LGBTI Police Association”

How can a a group call itself this if you are supposed to just call people men or women without reference to trans?

In addition to police constables and women police constables, do they have trans police constables and trans women police constables?

How many trans identifying police officers are there – are we allowed to know? What uniforms do they wear? Can they conduct intimate body searches of men and women at random without disclosing they are trans?

If a 6′ 6″ bearded officer in a police woman’s uniform knocked on your door would you think that was ok?

I drives me nuts how the TransCult have taken over the SNP and wrecked the Independence movement.
However I appreciate Wings shining a light on it. I assume a six figure readership of these articles will increase the awareness of what is happening.

Good work Stu….please keep turning those rocks over.

I can still recall with utter disdain, the House Jocks yelling and screaming when our fire brigade put Saltires on the front of our fire engines.

The modern day municipal fire service was founded in Edinburgh by Scot James Braidwood in 1824, he was the first master of the engine.

Interestingly about Braidwood he gave evidence at the infamous Burke and Hare trial.

There does need to be a purge and a tacit acceptance that poor governance has occurred. The SNP still appears to be the most credible vehicle for achieving independence BUT it requires a fundamental re-set and the articulation of a clear AND COHERENT vision for the nation we aspire to.
This will not appeal to the less talented MSPs who currently hold senior positions in government, but it will appeal to the membership.
Most critical of all is to rid the party of any association with the Murrells.

Has made more comebacks than Frank Sinatra.

He/She got as far as the front gate and,…it was just too much, he/she just had to turn around and come back.

The pull of the old place was just too strong.

Welcome back James Che from your far flung travels.

Lets hope the journey you have been on enlightened you and opened up your mind to a whole world of new ideas.

At last that covid mask is actually useful for something.

Rangers supporters are stuck in a seventies time warp.

They still live their lives in a time when the first thing they want to know about a person is whether they are a Catholic or a Protestant.

What school you went to.

Are you a supporter of King Charlie or the Pope.

Want to retain strong links with Northern Ireland.

UDA, UVF.

Retain strong links with their brothers in England.

Retain the Union.

Stamp all over the Saltire.

Supporters of Scottish Independence are their sworn enemy.

Fly their beloved Union Jack whenever possible.

As I said, the bastards are stuck in a 1970s time warp.

So anything that helps keep the Butcher’s Apron in the bottom drawer is a good thing.

Fuck King Charlie and all who fall at his feet.

‘Voter empowerment mechanism’; something new; it’s definitely NOT a de-facto referendum but only counts when/if independence wins.

As an atheist, I have no religious axe to grind and I don’t condemn people who feel the need for a God, but as a very young boy I learned a hard lesson regarding sectarianism, which I now view as the blight of Scotland.
My Uncle used to take me to all the big football matches in Glasgow as I was a big fan of Rangers flying Outside Right Alex Scott. We were travelling out to Mount Florida on one of the old steam Football Specials when we found ourselves in a compartment full of a mixture of Celtic and Rangers supporters slightly the worse of drink. an argument ensued followed by a bit of shoving, cursing and threatening which got rather ugly.
At the height of the commotion an old tall man of about sixty rose to his feet and addressed the warring parties explaining that he was an atheist and all their fighting and swearing was unproductive and that they should be concentrating on the condition of the working people.
There was a moment of silence then absolute fury as the two groups of supporters set about the old man knocked him to the floor and kicked him senseless.
That vision has never left me and often causes me to question the innate goodness of “the People”

My uncle later explained that the old man had removed their “raison detre”, all they had was this hatred for one another’s religion and when it was questioned they felt insecure and were unable to resist the temptation to lash out and restore their credibility. I subsequently realised that this phenomenon exists in many walks of life.

?Senator Bernie Sanders says on Sophy Ridge on Sunday that Scots should be free to vote for independence.
Sen. Sanders will be well aware that the British Security Services sent wee Simon Bracey-Lane into spy on his Primary campaign against Hilary Clinton. Bracey-Lane was employed by the Institute for Statecraft, a laughably deniable cut-out operation funded by the SIS and the British military.

I would like Ash to respond to “but London will continue to say no” with –

On the 11 Nov we remember all the people in our history that sacrificed their lives to protect democracy. Are you telling me their sacrifice was in vain. Think about that next tie you wear a poppy.

Are you telling me Westminster in not a democracy.

Are you telling me London fights for the right of Ukrainians to self determination but not Scotland.

A lot of Scots voted No not because they were especially “unionist” as they were labelled but because they thought too many in the SNP were just plain shifty. Might have voted SNP but never really convinced that they could trust them with such a big undertaking. So now that suspicion has been proved +++ best bet for independence is to take out if SNP hands altogether as many have said.. in reality might need to wait for the next cycle to come back round…

I see Yousaf is moaning that the leadership debate is about GRR and single sex marriage.

The SNP has made so much capital out of such so-called progressive politics that is come to overtake their raison d’être of independence.

It does seem amusing, in a grim way, that he is so worked up about it defining his leadership bid.

The SNP and in turn, Yousaf himself has enjoyed so much success by pushing such social policies to hide both they lack of depth on policies that matter to ordinary people and to hide their neo-liberal economic policies. It has helped them in the good times and now it has come back and bit them now that the wheels have come off this disastrous strategy.

As the saying goes, The chickens have come home to roost.

Anton. Sevco are disliked by every other team in Scotland. Their motto being” Everybody hates us we don’t care”.

For any normal person that would force them to address their moral compass. For someone with sociopathic tendencies, they instead double down on the bad behaviour.

I used to work with a guy. Who thought it appropriate to wear a Red Hand Of Ulster t shirt on a Saturday in the office. He was often seen with an England strip at Hampden. I had to pretend I hadn’t seen him, as I was so disgusted with his anti Scottish behaviour.

I think they represent the self loathing Scot. The lickspittle subservient boot lickers. I saw an Asian Sevco fan singing he would rather be a Paki than a Taig. I mean honestly where do you even begin with that!

President- It only takes one season to dislike Sevco!

Lorna Campbell, so true!

Every time, I hear the word “progressive”, I think “one step forward and two steps back”.

I am surprised that the word has nor fallen into complete obscurity by now, with the likes of “social progress”, “more equal”, “less equal”, “equality, diversity and inclusion” and many more. Often completely illogical and mathematically incorrect!

To say nothing of: “bigot”, “homophobe”, “transphobe”, “TERF” and “dinosaur”!

Such hatred in only one season? Man, you need to chill.

WHY are these UNOFFICIAL organisations being allowed to identify as part of the OFFICIAL organisation ,AFAIK this is just a recent phenomenon , previously ANY official organisation would NOT allow or permit this faux identifying of being a partner organisation on the offchance that any criminality or disreputable behaviour would reflect badly on the official organisation , especially when the faux organisation was NOT under the direct control or subject to the same restrictions as the official organisation

It appears we have had a massive increase in organisations purporting to be aligned or umbrellad under the Scottish government since mrs murrell became FM, most of whom are either partly or fully financed by the Scottish government from the tax paying public finances, and which the said tax paying public have NO SAY in whether these organisations should be granted financial support

Getting really sick of the overt hatred of gay folk getting peddled by some people on this site. I see folk trying to cross label their concerns about the gender self ID law into a generalised hatred of gay people. Gay is not’trans’, no matter what the loonies at stonewall tell folk.

Sometimes laws need checked and reformed, but some folk in the indy movement are letting their inherent hatred of gay people rise to the surface, using the gender debate as their flimsy excuse.

Of course, part of the blamwe lies firmly and squarely at the feet of Homophobe -in-chief, Kate Forbes. Her words, as a public leader, are not meaningless. To some, they give succour to their own inherent (and quite irrational) hatred of gay folk.

People say, oh, but those are Kate’s ‘personal’ views, and she is entitled to them, and she would never let them shape how she behaves in public office, or if she were First Minister. But we know that is simply NOT correct. Why? Because Kate Forbes herself, openly stated that because of her religious views, she would have opposed equality for gay people, if she had been an MSP. In other words, she would have denied rights, purely and simply because her imagined ‘magical deity’, told her to.

Whilst I have no enthusiasm for some of what were previously gay rights organisations, but who now obsess over ‘trans’, like above, we need to be careful we do not start a witch hunt. Just because an organisation may have had a bad actor of some kind, does not mean the organisation overall is evil. Let’s not tar all these people with that brush, because it simply is not true. Some folk working for those organisations above ARE genuine GOOD people.

I get the point being made above by REV Stu, but am genuinely saddened at the way it was written. Pretty foolish in my book.

Do we really want to try to drag Scotland into the bad old days, where homosexuality was decriminalised in England in 1969, but not in backwards bigotted Scotland until 1981??? To Brian Souter thumping a table, in true neanderthal style, saying ‘we didnae vote fur it so wur no huvvin it’ THAT is EXACTLY how feckin stupid and backwards Scotland used to be socially. Really? Is that what you are trying to do?

Is that what independence would mean???? That is how it looks right now, in 2023.

Jeez folk, disagree with the badly shaped gender law if you like – I do, but let’s stop the homophobic socially regressive nonsense. It makes Scotland look bad, really, really bad. Folk doing it just do not appeal to voters, no matter how strongly you personally believe your hateful rhetoric.

@ Robert Louis

Gaslighting, are we?

Robert Louis, I do not see much homophobia on here. Differences of opinion, yes, hatred no. You can not expect everyone to cheer lead our life choices, only to tolerate them as required by equality law. Everyone has the right to their opinions and I as a lesbian accept that. Student politics have no place in a mature country.

Why have you used a picture of Alex Baldwin instead of John Nicolson?

We were always told that, under Wee Eck, the SNP ran a collegiate management system in the Cabinet. Certainly, at Westminster, collective responsibility is, or was, expected.

Tha Cabinet decides collectively what the line was: you either toed the party line, or you resigned.

Surely that is Kate Forbes’ Get Out of Jail card. She can espouse her personal views on gay marriage or whatever, but tell her inquisitors: “These are my views, however, if my Cabinet and party colleagues decide otherwise, while I will fight my corner, I will go with the party line.”

Or is such common sense not allowed in today’s politics. One of the reasons for the design of the Holyrood chamber was to get away from the adverserial style of Westminster politics. It seems, London will not allow us to be different – it is their way or the highway.

Sat in a Tesco cafe having a coffee and, just for sh*ts’n’giggles, I have a copy of Nicla’s fanzine.

Squirrel of the day, as in “oh, look…”, is the McCrone Report. In other words, sleeping gas for “soft No’s”. The lengths these supposedly professional journos will go to in order to fill column inches never ceases to amaze me – the bottom of the barrel must be near transparent by now!

Two hilarious sections however…

The buy an extra copy and pass it on malarkey on page 7. Oh, how we laughed. (This one’s going straight in the bin when the latté runs dry).

The other, a puff piece, or huff piece, by Steph Paton, bemoaning the supposed passing of Max-Woke under Sturgeon’s calamitous tenure.

In the absence of any chance of Indy within the next decade or two, I’m finding there’s nothing more entertaining than watching Sturgeon’s rancid SNP in self destruct mode.

Death throws are seldom pleasant to witness, but in this case, pass the popcorn someone.

PS Before someone quotes my previous assertion that I’d never buy another copy of Nicla’s fanzine, in the absence of rain, grey skies and midgies, it’s the only clue that I’m actually sat in a busy Tesco cafe in Argyll & Bute, because it sounds like I’m sat in Avon & Somerset. I keep expecting to see Rev Stu walk in! Has everyone started flying south during the winter months?

I’m getting really sick of the overt hatred of women getting peddled by LGBT folk.

Homophobia is definitely on the rise but then there is a reason for that.

You haven’t explained why you are attacking Kate Forbes and not all the main religions.

Is it easier for the LGBT bullies just to attack women?

They are not just Kate’s ‘personal’ views they are also the views of a large number of her constituents.

Surely if she is in parliament to represent her constituents she should be voting in accordance with their views.

Same applies to Humza Yousaf. If he is presenting himself as a Muslim and seeking to gain the Muslim vote he should be voting in accordance with his constituents wishes.

The problem with the SNP is they don’t care about their constituents they get your vote get your money and then they decide what it is the constituents want.

PS How can two men getting married be equal to a man and a woman getting married?

Heterosexual is not gay. 🙂

President – Were any part of Ron’s comments about Sevco untrue?

You see it is aimed at the institution , the feeder groups and the ethos. Sure you can point to examples of decent Sevco fans, I know some. However they are the minority. The institution of the club is pretty ugly , you must admit.

The squabbling continues here. I suppose it’s to be expected while we wait for the phoney war to play itself out. We all know that something big is about to break. We do know that the chief constable called on Nicola Sturgeon two days before she resigned.

We can only speculate for the time being. Did he warn her that the net was closing in and that he intended to resign? Did he advise her to do the same? If so, that must mean that he is involved somehow in the Murrell’s mess too. As I said, we can only speculate for the time being. Hopefully the truth will be revealed soon, whatever it is.

@ Ruby

” Surely if she is in parliament to represent her constituents she should be voting in accordance with their views. ”

Christ ! What a wild n crazy idea . Sounds to me you’re suggesting that antiquated n so very unProg concept of Representative Democracy .

Na , Ruby , this is the Post Everything of Value Age , where Desperately Seeking Victimhood micro-demographics & their * brave n stunning * assortment of fetishes , kinks , psychological hang-ups , neuroses n protean identities are sanctified and elevated way , way beyond the mundane concerns of the hoi polloi , as the latter struggle with trivialities like providing food , shelter , warmth and a standard of living beyond mere precarious existence . And expect these basic needs to be the uppermost priorities of the people they elect into positions of power

Looking back, at the time I really didn’t appreciate the courage of Craig Murray.

The importance of his parody piece cannot be underestimated. He essentially revealed the plot, the stitch-up, and that those involved were all members of Sturgeon’s inner circle, including her husband and all round great guy, Peter Murrell.

I recall Craig Murray said at the time in the parody piece that he had been feeling ill and that made him realise if something had happened to him then the all things that Alex Salmond had revealed to him might die with him. So he needed to get it out.

Well I was thinking about that recently and I realized that if Alex Salmond had confided in me what was really going on, and I was a renowned activist and whistle blower, then, for as long as I was the sole person who knew, my life might well be in danger.

That was a very dangerous position to be in for Craig Murray. I wonder if that is what he was really meaning in the parody piece… It must have been a huge burden knowing what he did at the time. Craig Murray could easily have ended up like Dr David Kelly for example.

Anyway Alex Salmond will forever owe Craig Murray a debt that can never be repaid. But we all CM a debt. And all the other bloggers who got the truth out there. I think it really did matter.

If they had succeeded in the Salmond stitch-ups we would be living in a very different Scotland right now.
