Wings Over Scotland


Two houses both alike

Posted on February 17, 2024 by

This is so freaky I had to check they weren’t quoting each other. It’s like a game show.

Just a couple of nice well-brought-up Hutchesons’ Grammar boys in smart suits, there, thinking the same, speaking the same, saying the same, and angling for the same job. (Which one of them now has, and the other may have soon.)

Scotland is a 96% white country (98% white as recently as the 2001 census). We’re still not entirely sure what their point is.

As two non-white Scottish men in charge of the country’s main political parties, they certainly seem to be doing rather well for themselves.

And you wouldn’t – we presume and hope – turn up in the Pakistani, or Nigerian or Somalian or Kenyan or Bangladeshi, parliaments and start raging about how pretty much everybody running things was brown (spitting the word out contemptuously for good measure), because people would probably think that was somewhat racist.

So why are they so angry about white people being in charge of most things in an almost entirely white country? Even though they appear to regard being questioned as a form of bigotry, maybe somebody ought to ask.

Well, I don’t know what they’re moaning about. They can just do what they tell women to do when we say it’s unfair that men get to take our places in sports, or in the boardroom. “Just try harder”.

Just noticed this YT vid is dated 8 months ago. Seemed to slip under the radar until now.
Extraordinary statements, by both of them, what exactly are they proposing?
Can we rewind to Sept ’14, before or after Ref, and ask Mr Salmond to ensure he stay exactly where he is regardless of the outcome?

Sarwar Facebook page posts this speech on 10 june 2020.
Yusless ‘anti white’ speech is quite difficult to find.
Elon Musk attacked Yusless on Twitter showing a speech which looked out of synch with the mouth movements.
This was enough to start the ‘ pile on’ with others such as GBNews happy to condemn whilst not actually showing the footage.
AI and deep fakes are now almost undetectable from reality and, unless we can confirm sources, repeating such will play into the Governments hands demanding censorship.

And many of the non-white (coloured? Are we allowed to say that?) Scots will be young (students, recent graduates) and so far too young for all those top jobs.

Spot on Alice, spot on. Given the logic of current Scotgov direction we should soon be able to self ID as any colour, race, or age we want to as well. Would save me waiting 8 years for my pension.

holymacmoses

Regardless of race, colour or creed , are they the best people for the positions they hold.
(1) Does Scotland/SNP have someone more capable of doing the job?
(2) Does the Labour Party in Scotland have anyone more capable?

My answer to (1): Absolutely & they should change the leadership.

My Answer to (2): Frankly, my dears, I don’t give a damn

Monica Worley

2 outa 2 leaders of the top 2 political parties in Scotland are brown. And men at that.

Ruby

How did these two slip through the net and
become

1. Leader of Labour in Scotland
2. Leader of SNP & First minister of Scotland

Was money involved?

No idea what these two dumbos are trying to achieve?
If they are trying to make ‘the whites’ less racist they have totally failed.

If they are trying to encourage organisations to hire more browns then I reckon these two dumbos are the wrong people for the job.

Asians have been in this country for about 100 years or more but there are still problems with racism.

My conclusion: Multi-culturalism doesn’t work.

It doesn’t work for the browns or the whites.

If you want to live in a country with more brown people there is a simple solution.

White people are not good enough for those two.

Republicofscotland

As you clearly state Scotland is a predominately white country so its to be expected, if it was all down to racism surely Yousaf and Sarwar wouldn’t have gotten their lucrative positions in the first place.

I’m pretty sure that most of those positions they both mentioned in say Pakistan or India or as you allude to African nations such as Nigeria (the African nation with the largest population) are filled with brown skinned people.

So were Sarwar and Yousaf being a tad racist in their white rants? well substitute white folk out for brown folk and there would surely have been an outcry for them to resign from their positions, so yes one can say with a degree of confidence that both men were acting in a racist manner.

But why are Sarwar and Yousaf so angry about white folk holding certain jobs?

This is a repeat of what a said about a week ago.

I don’t believe people in this country wanted multi-culturalism.

That was why the people who put up no blacks/no Irish were saying. For some reason the politicians didn’t want to listen. Gillian Duffy & Gordon Brown is a recent example of that.

So they had to get the PC Brigade to convince people they were evil racists.

I reckon white people have been well and truly manipulated into accepting a multi-cultural society whether they like it or not. Exactly the same think is happening now with the gender identity nonsense.

I believe being ‘racist’ is all part of human nature. Ask yourself why people live in all these different communities surrounded by similar people.

Alf Baird

Sarwar and Yousaf are confusing colonial racism with colour racism.

The main issue for Scots is that most of the people running Scotland’s institutions, like 15 of our 19 higher education institutions, are not Scots.

And those ‘assimilated’ Scots who do run some of our institutions tend to hold to the same Anglo culture and values, which is not Scottish culture and values.

That is why Scots want independence, to have opportunities in thair ain laund and no longer be subject to colonial racism, which ‘is a consubstantial part of colonialism’ (Memmi).

Lorna Campbell

If you went to Pakistan, how many of the top jobs would be held by Pakistanis and how many by white people? What a pair of silly billies. Eventually, just as they did in reaching the top of their parties, immigrant-origin people who have the money will be able to move up through the ranks.

Many white people will be unable to move up through the ranks because they are working-class and unable to afford to attend schools such as Hutcheson’s. Every single CEO position in the global corporates is occupied by a male. Life just ain’t fair, chaps, on so many levels. Boo hoo.

So much prejudice and lack of opportunity are down to lack of the shiny stuff, not the colour of your skin or your sex, but, if you are doubly disadvantaged by being black/brown and/or female – and have no money and live on a sink estate, you are unlikely to get anywhere

Being in poverty is the barrier everywhere in the world. I, personally, am not responsible for colonialism or slavery, and neither were my ancestors. They were all dirt poor and scrabbling for a living in dark satanic mills or on rural land that were a constant struggle for survival. So, welcome to the affluent West, chaps. Not so different from the affluent East when it comes to the lower orders, eh?

Chris

Lets all stop pretending we aren’t racist. Yes we are racist.

Garrion

Just another identitarian tool in the arsenal of political obfustication and manipulation of the public/political sphere. The trick is to say that there is a crisis or great injustice, racism, or transphobia or what have you, positioning yourself as virtuously calling it out.

What decent person is going to counter that argument without then being accused of precisely the bigotry they are describing, unless they are very brave, like the good Rev?

Works on two levels. Makes you bulletproof to attack inside politics (especially from the left), and positions you in a virtuous halo in a compliant media. It’s theatre.

Thing is that these grubby little sociopaths truly don’t give a shit about anyone or anything unless they’re in the same corporatist class. These people aren’t politicians, they’re tools.

The wankers are winning worldwide, as they say.

DougMcGregor

Between the two of them there’s an awful lot of unjustified shoulder chips, they both seem to think that their job is to promote their ethnic group into the top echelons of Scottish society, is that what we , the Scottish people, need? Or want?

I would suggest to them that the Scottish parliament is completely unrepresentative of white, heterosexual, employable males both in terms of MSPs and policies. Now that is a problem!

John

Sophism, rhetoric and deceit are the Private Schools main teachings of the way to rule. That and paedophilic deviance.
It does still bother me that many still refer to their Private education as Public Schools and actual Public Schools as State. Though it certainly follows their methods to twist everything.
This neo feudal state is experiencing the inevitable collective Karma of colonising around the planet, as are all the other European colonists countries.
It’s almost ironic the two main parties are run by a couple of Private school wankers telling us we’re not accepting them. That it’s reality just makes it sad.
Could be worse.

Ian Brotherhood

@John (2.51) –

‘It’s almost ironic the two main parties are run by a couple of Private school wankers…’

Aye, it certainly is, considering the parties they lead are generally described as ‘left of centre’.

I must’ve done alright in the 11+ because my folks were offered a place for me at St. Aloysious in Glasgow. I knew that my mum didn’t want me going because it would cost money, even though the fees were covered. The old man probably would’ve liked me to go as he himself had been schooled in a Jesuit seminary. But the old dear wore the breeks and I didn’t want to cause bother so I told them I would miss my pals too much and that got me out of it.

There was another lad in my class who was also offered a place. He took it. But he came back to us after only one term, absolutely hated it.

Have often wondered, over the years, if I might’ve had a totally different life had I gone. Certainly wouldn’t have done any harm career-wise. But then I think about the guys I know who went there and similar schools elsewhere in Scotland. Some are okay but there’s a definite superiority complex problem with a lot of them. They can conceal it up to a point but it always manifests itself eventually, usually when they have to deal with people they consider their lessers i.e. everyone who didn’t go to that same school.

I await patiently a world where people stop banging on about demographic differences, identity politics, and the best person for the job gets the job.

The vast majority of sane people in this country agree, but the overwhelming minority of decision makers do. Hence the problem.

Bortwiskels

Let’s have them do those lists again with the socio-economic background of the people in these posts, or whether they were publicly or privately educated. Maybe that’s a clearer indicator of why they’re where they are.

I also don’t think two individuals so clearly out of their depth in prominent jobs should be using their platforms to highlight the lack of meritocracy in our culture.

` Literally half of the non-white folk in Scotland showed up since the turn of the millennium`

I would say in the last two or three years a massive increase in African and Asian immigrants,

also massive increase in English immigrants,

“So why are they so angry about white people being in charge of most things in an almost entirely white country?”

Could it be because they (or rather their handler) think it will help them move our focus of attention away from the fact the Scottish political establishment is deliberately pissing all over our democratic rights with their refusal to act upon our many democratic mandates for a referendum, onto something else?

In other words, it is giving them a wonderfully long-lasting pet cause to hide behind so they can pretend they are pursuing something when the only thing they are doing is using both hands, mouth and feet to hold the yes movement back.

As you say, Rev, in a country where 95% of the population is white, you cannot have 50% of non-white people in positions of power and still claim it is somewhat representative of the population. What these two idiots pretend to be pursuing is therefore an unachievable task, unless they force in positive discrimination like it is being done with disabled people.

But positive discrimination on the basis of your skin colour is in itself racism and will be rejected by the majority. They know this. It will fabricate division, just like the trans crap has done, making it perfect for their purpose of distraction. And because it will be incredibly difficult to get representation of non-whites on positions of power close to 50%, they can continue peddling this deflective crap year after year, after year, after year.

Clearly Sarwar and Yousaf have the same script writer. It is yet another sign that democracy in Scotland is completely dead and the “political parties” are nothing of the sort. They are simply crown entities, so close to each other than they are almost impossible to tell apart. Their only focus is to distract the Scottish voters from the fact Scotland is being subjected to absolute rule.

A beautiful proof of this is Sarwar saying “he will stand up to Starmer”. One has to wonder if these idiots actually think before opening their mouths. If he has to “stand up” to the leader of his own party to ensure Scotland’s needs are served, it means the labour party, by default, either does not give a shit about Scotland or it is not its priority at all.

Why would somebody in Scotland want to vote for a party for whose leader the needs of Scotland are just an after thought?

And after a real face-off between Sarwar and his boss Starmer, for how long after it does Sarwar think he will be able to keep his job of manager of the branch of the northern branch?

“But positive discrimination on the basis of your skin colour is in itself racism and will be rejected by the majority. ”

On the other hand, “positive action” is not unlawful discrimination.See what Croner (Employment Law says.

“Positive Action vs Positive Discrimination
We often mix positive action and positive discrimination, but they are different in key areas. The fundamental difference is that positive action is allowed in, so let’s look at how lawful positive action contrasts discrimination.

Positive action is about taking specific steps to improve equality. A workplace will actively encourage applicants or groups to apply for job roles.

Under the Equality Act 2010, you can take positive action to support those from under-represented groups, to help them overcome any disadvantage when competing with other applicants or applying for development and training.”

This differs from discrimination, where a person is employed specifically because of a protected characteristic, rather than because they’re the most qualified or equally qualified for a role. Positive action doesn’t negatively affect other groups.

wullie

Anyone educated in the private sector should never ever be allowed near any public office. They leave a trail of disaster behind them. Down through history you can see who and from what class have caused the greatest havoc to society in these islands.

ClanDonald

How convenient that Humza forgot to mention his own job, the Justice Minister, when he was listing all the important jobs in his portfolio area. If he had done so the non-white percentage of people on his list would have been pretty representative of the population. But then he’d have had nothing to be angry about.

Shug

Oh and neither wants independence

Mia

“Positive action is about taking specific steps to improve equality”

Forcing a 50% representation of non-whites in positions of power is not “improving equality”. It is manufacturing inequality. In other words, you are positively discriminating non-whites and negatively discriminating whites, the native population.

In a country where 95% of the population is white, you expect to see a representation of non-whites at around 5%, simply because, generally speaking, you would expect that 95% of those applying for jobs in Scotland will be white.

“positive action” is another buzzword attempting to hide the action’s real meaning: active discrimination. If you are positively discriminating a sector of the population, by doing so you are in fact negatively discriminating against the rest. I cannot see how that can ever be disguised as something “positive”.

The only thing that is fair is to hire the candidate that is best for the job. You do not need “positive” or “negative” interventions for that, just a fair process. You must remain neutral.

One has to wonder if this fake “positive” intervention might be the actual reason as to why we have so many incompetents in positions of power.

“Let’s have them do those lists again with the socio-economic background of the people in these posts, or whether they were publicly or privately educated. Maybe that’s a clearer indicator of why they’re where they are.”

Yes, the elites running Scotland’s institutions appear to derive mainly from two sources:

1. the 3% of Scots who attend private schools, and;

2. England

In other words, Sarwar and Yousaf are themselves a reflection of the ‘narrow stream from which the mediocre meritocracy in a colonial society is derived’ (Memmi).

Dr Benway

It’s true that Humza “Scotland is too white” Yousaf is a racist, it’s just that he’s too arrogant and stupid to know it. Proof of said stupidity lies with the fact that he seems to expect a largely white place (but increasingly less so) like Scotland to somehow acquiesce in his view that we should willingly hand it over to a bunch of sociopathic grifters who happen to be brown, and feel somehow guilty if we don’t do so so enthusiastically.

The EU has apparently just quietly signed off on, or is about to sign off on, some bill or other that will bring in 75 MILLION more “migrants” to Europe. The fact that the vast bulk of these invaders oh sorry migrants are military aged males from North Africa and the ME who have no English, no skills and very bad attitudes seems to have escaped their notice except that of course it hasn’t, it’s deliberate policy aimed at destabilising Europe, exactly similar to what’s going on in the US with the Biden regime’s deliberately uncontrolled open border policy. Even the stupidest people there can now see that it’s designed purely to destabilise the country while “reducing” the white population.

Up till a few years ago I held to the view that although I wasn’t a big fan of the EU it seemed to me that it made economic sense to have access to that market, and that Scotland would be better off out of the UK and in the EU rather that the other way around. While there’s no doubt that Scotland would be better off out of the UK IF it had the right kind of political leadership, there’s now equally no doubt that re joining the EU would be stupidity of monumental proportions unless of course they don’t actually have our best interests at heart surprise surprise. The EU’s mask has slipped

Until a few years ago I’d have been horrified to be associated with the so called “far right” till I found out that being far right actually means not being keen on having your country overrun by invaders or objecting to your kids in school being indoctrinated into accepting paedophilia as normal, so I now have a quite different view of what far right means. Nowadays it basically means common sense.

I’m far more concerned with the fact that despite only circa 4.3% of the Scottish population being privately educated, they seem to hog all the top jobs in politics, law (judges in particular) and media inter alia.

Maybe Anas and Humza could ponder that for a moment…

sam

“Our report, Taking Stock – Race Equality in Scotland, details how a third of black and Asian groups in Scotland consistently experience racial discrimination, and that a slightly higher number consider racial discrimination to be a widespread issue.

The same research tells us that up to 60 per cent of people who say they experience this do not report it to any kind of authority, suggesting significant degrees of both low-level and more obvious experiences of racial discrimination are going under-detected.

What we can be sure of is that racially motivated hate crime remains the most common hate crime in Scotland; that black and ethnic minorities are nearly twice as likely to live in poverty, and that there is both a substantial “employment gap” and, for those in work, a “pay gap”, whereby white Scottish workers earn, on average, ten per cent more.

This is greater than the gender pay gap and key to understanding experience of in-work poverty amongst non-white Scottish groups (and it means a double whammy for black and ethnic minority women). How should we understand these and other examples in a country where the prevailing political rhetoric leans against racial inequalities?”

Scotland has traditionally always welcomed incomers. But with clowns like these leading our two main parties I fear there may be change on the horizon. A Muslim member of the SNP in the area where I live suggested before last Christmas that Christmas itself should be replaced with something more inclusive. With what wasn’t specified. I fear for the future.

“A GROUNDBREAKING study has revealed a significant number of Scots still hold “deeply racist assumptions”, but a majority of people north of the Border believe in equality and support tackling the problem.

The most comprehensive study of its kind looking at mainstream views on race and racism in England and Scotland, which was carried out by non-profit initiative Reframing Race, has revealed a complex picture.

When it comes to debunked myths about race, four out of 10 people in both nations still think that some ethnic groups are naturally harder working than others.

Around one in five people in Scotland believe that someone’s race tells you something about their character, while around one in 10 even said they think some races are born less intelligent than others.”

“The belief that Scotland is more welcoming to immigrants than the rest of the UK is a “misleading fantasy”, the authors of a new book have claimed.

The academics behind the book point to discrimination against Irish Catholics over the past 200 years as evidence.

And they argue that similar discrimination is continuing against eastern Europeans, gypsy/travellers, Muslims and other ethnic groups.

They will present their findings to a committee of MSPs on Wednesday.

The authors of No Problem Here: Understanding Racism in Scotland claim black and minority ethnic (BAME) applicants for large public sector organisations had a 1.1% chance of being appointed, compared to 8.1% for their white counterparts…

…He added: “Just take one figure – in the year 2013/14 there were just under 5,000 racial attacks in Scotland. That is about 92 a week, and as we demonstrate in the book there’s a massive under-reporting of these kind of incidents…

…However, official crime statistics published last year said there were 3,349 racial offences reported in Scotland in 2016/17 – 10% fewer than the previous year and the lowest number since 2003/04.

But the number of racial offences in England and Wales increased from 35,944 in 2011/12 to 68,685 in 2016/17.”

Every leader of the three elected political bodies representing the most people in the UK: ethnically Indian or Pakistani!
– Rishi Sunak (UK)
– Sadiq Khan (London)
– Humza Yousaf (Scotland)

– From the 2021 census, the figures for ethnicity in England & Wales were: 3.1% (Indian) + 2.7% (Pakistani) = 5.8%
(link to ethnicity-facts-figures.service.gov.uk)
– Again from the 2021 census, the figures for London were: 7.5% (Indian) + 3.3% (Pakistani) = 10.8%
(link to en.wikipedia.org)
– Scotland’s population is 2.8% ethnically Asian (link to audit-scotland.gov.uk)
(This is the total for all Asian ethnicities – I couldn’t find the figures for Indian / Pakistani only, but it’s obviously less!)

So the overall likelihood of this being the case are < 0.058 * 0.108 * 0.028 = 0.000175392.
1 / 0.000175392 = 5701.5, ie there's a < 1 in 5701.5 chance of all 3 of these leaders being of Indian or Pakistani ethnicity.
(actually, it's still less – as 5.8% is the England & Wales figure, and is higher than the UK figure)

(It's also with mentioning that the leader of the elected body representing the next highest number of people in these islands is Leo Varadkar, whose ethnicity is 50% Indian!)

I look forward to Sarwar and Yousaf committing to addressing this breathtaking lack of diversity.

“Cases of discrimination account for 25% of all the complaints made across the armed forces, and according to the ombudsman, a “disproportionate” number of those come from ethnic minorities.

“When it comes to school, data shows that some children are disciplined far more often than others. According to Government data, the groups of children with the highest rates of permanent exclusion in the school year 2018-19 are White Gypsy and Roma pupils (0.39%), Traveller of Irish Heritage pupils (0.27%), Black Caribbean pupils (0.25%) and Mixed White and Black Caribbean children (0.24%). All children have the ability to be disruptive in class so a disparity like this should be examined closely and addressed. Exclusions can be disruptive for a child’s learning and lead to disengagement with education. Some people wrongly attribute this to cultural or racial difference, when in reality there are multiple factors at play, including structural racism.”

Sir Iain said: “It is the right thing for me to do, as Chief Constable, to clearly state that institutional racism, sexism, misogyny and discrimination exist…

…Sir William Macpherson’s definition of institutional racism, set out in his 1999 report into the killing of black teenager Stephen Lawrence, is the collective failure of an organisation to provide an appropriate and professional service to people because of their colour, culture, or ethnic origin…

..First Minister Humza Yousaf said that, as a person of colour, the admission of institutional racism by the chief constable was “monumental” and “historic”.

Mr Yousaf said he had personal experience of racism within the police, having been “searched over a dozen times as a young boy, whether it was in my car or walking with my friends in the street or in airports”.”

Brown people are not persecuted in Scotland and our society isn’t racist. Most other societies abroad are unashamedly racist however. You wouldnae get very far trying to guilt and shame the natives in Pakistan for example. Laugh ye all the way tae the airport, so they would.

The signs were more likely to exist in the 60s.

Upthread I posted a link to a post that is a recollection by a Pakistani man of his memory of seeing such signs often. He was the first to make a claim of racial discrimination under the new legislation.

You can find evidence of anti Irish feeling in the Glasgow Argus of 1847 when many destitute Irish facing famine arrived there with many destitute Highlanders similarly affected.

The Pontins stuff is recent.

There is also research done for the Commission of Racial Equality in 1997 that shows a pattern across the UK of anti Irish feeling.

I think you are wrong in the claim you made upthread though the research seems to show improvement in attitudes and fewer cases of abuse.

We don’t have that many blacks in Scotland.

Humza told a story about his mother taking legal action against an estate agent who she claimed didn’t want to show her a house in Newton Mairns. She got a Scottish person to phone up and they got a viewing.
Although there may have been no notice accord to Humza’s mother there was discrimination.

Humza did something similar with the nursery only he had to give a Scottish name. Only it turned out the nursery discrimination was down to bigotry and not racism.

The Asian population nearly doubled in size between 2001 and 2011, rising by 69,000.

2.7% of Scotland’s population identified as Asian, Asian Scottish or Asian British. This was about 141,000 people, split between:

50,000 people who identified as ‘Pakistani’
34,000 people who identified as ‘Chinese’
33,000 people who identified as ‘Indian’
21,000 people who identified as ‘Other’
4,000 people who identified as ‘Bangladeshi’

.
0.7% identified as Black.

So are these leaders trying to suggest that positions should be allocated on ethnicity, discriminating against some individuals? Would they be happy if all the top positions were filled by say, Bangladeshi people? How many posts would be reserved for Poles or Gypsy/Traveller people?

Of course, a mere glance at the history books is all it takes to see that Scots going back hundreds of years have typically been very keen on immigration, especially when it involved Scots going to other countries and (let’s be diplomatic) making their fortunes…

The part played by Scots in the conquest of India alone, at all levels, was so immense that it is hard to imagine it ever happening without them. And the colossal wealth extracted was of a scale that undoubtedly played a key part in the industrial, economic, and cultural development of Scotland as a whole;

“The Indian connection was to impact on Scotland in ways not anticipated when first set up.The recruitment of Scots in the 1720s and 1730s began to show dividends from the 1750s, as those in India sent back ever-increasing amounts of money, a great deal of which was invested in the social and economic fabric of Scotland. This injection of much needed funds probably reached half a million pounds per annum around the 1750s and 1760s, and nearer three-quarters of a million and more per annum, going into the nineteenth century.Such sums were a colossal stimulus to life in Scotland. The favours, the posts supplied and the money remitted and brought back by those who returned, helped mend society, created a social and economic infrastructure and jobs, robbing Scottish separatism and nationalism of its urgency and probably the Jacobite cause of much of its strength (McGilvary, 2008).”

In other parts of the world, the story is much the same if not even more stark and damning. Scots were up to their eyeballs in the slave trade, historical exterminations of people in North America, Canada, Australia, Africa, and so many other places.

There are people here who seem to think the historical record is some sort of a la carte menu. Those people are worse than racists, they are hypocrites of the lowest order. If they have one arguably redemptive quality it is their ignorance of history.

TBQH I find this rather threatening and concerning, is this a deliberate manipulation of a religious section of our population to have overwhelming control of our politics , at present we are fighting against the usurpation of our democracy by a cabal of gender fanatics who were elected on a completely different mandate from the one they are FORCING through and have continued to ignore and frustrate the overwhelming opposition to their deviant and perverted policies

We already have an unelected by the population FM who continues to spaff our tax payers money hither and thither whilst our own children and pensioners suffer poverty and hypothermia , who consorts with dictators and issues open invites to visit our country , who revels in telling the world that Scotland is open to everyone when he talks about 1 million refugees coming to the uk

An unelected FM who stands up in the supposed Scottish parliament and through a spittle flecked tirade denigrates and demeans Scotland for having WHITE people in their official organisations , Scotland a predominately white Christian country HOW DARE THEY

The above speeches were in response to the death/murd4r of George Floyd on May 25 2020.

The Americans, unhappy with c*vid lockdowns and their collapsed economy had started disobeying the ‘no congregating’ policy.
Floyd’s death came at an opportune moment to distract. The cops retired and the BLM/Antifa rioters were left to run free. In fact in several cities there is footage of government delivering the bricks.

Across the rest of the World where C*vid protest, and even walking on the beach, would get you arrested, pro-BLM marches of thousands of people were encouraged.

In short, Scottish democracy has more than well ticked the DI&E boxes.

What has all this diversity brought to Scottish democracy? mediocrity, incompetence and foisting policies onto the Scottish public that is both unpopular and unwanted.

No matter what people wants this will follow it’s course, society will take a step back and say we’ve had diversity and look at the result, lets move on and base inclusion to politics based on merit and ability rather than ticking DI&E tick boxes.

Maybe skin colour is to be the new gender grievance in the “Anything but Independence” governmental doctrine.

As for Scotland demonstrating prejudices against the Irish, I would not / could not, deny it happened, but while the talk is racism, there’s also a smell of sectarianism, and Scottish towns and cities polarised by football – while the rest of us groaned with how tedious it all was. Just sayin’….

We Scots are not immune to prejudices being instilled into our communities, but how can we ever be sure of its root cause, – particularly while Westminster rule relies so heavily on a divided Scotland?

The Irish are not the natural enemies of Scotland, the Ruskians are not the natural enemies of Scotland, the Muslims are not the natural enemies of Scotland. Ask yourself whether Scots fighting Irish is any different from Sunni fighting Shiite, or Slav fighting Slav.

YooKrane is to Ruskia, what Taiwan is to China, and Israel is to Islam… the enemy at your door – by Western design, not Scotland’s design.

Sectarianism was religious intolerance deliberately engineered to sow division between the Celts in Ireland and Scotland. As I grew up, even as a child, I knew religion was how “they” would divide us. Every fkg Saturday was devoted to it.

Our bane was their tool. It was so transparent that whether your strip was royal blue or green and white stripes, I just saw a pawn being manipulated; a body men susceptible to indoctrination; somebody dumb enough to believe the lies on the BBC. Someone weak. And for dessert we have Jambos and Hibees in Edinburgh? Oh Jeezuz. Pass me the sick bucket.

I haven’t mellowed with age. I have deep rooted disdain for all fitba strips; which team prejudice do you support? My answer has always been none of them.

And Scotland’s “love” for its national game felt every inch as contrived and manipulative as Scotland’s prowess on the battlefield, a callous distortion of truth and history curiously neglectful to mention who the Scots traditionally fought so bravely against, and all designed to harvest our warrior progeny into serving with the Redcoat army and thinking it’s an honour upon Scotland.

Never mind the army, I seethe under my breath at a “British” Olympics team. Every “Nation” wants to exhibit its sporting prowess, except the British who want to cheat by competing as an “amalgamation”. Why don’t the English want to compete as England? What is wrong with them?

I haven’t mellowed, but perhaps one of the most uplifting aspects of YES in 2014, was that “their” designs on Scottish sectarianism dividing Scots in order to better rule over us, didn’t work as intended. For too many, Scotland’s well-being held a stronger motivation than instilled prejudice, and “they” weren’t able to Ulsterise Scotland.

Yeayyy for us. Well done my fellow Scots, I’m proud of you. Except I can’t say “proud” anymore, because “proud” Unionist Scot-buts wear “pride” like a badge. (It’s ok, pride is a sin anyway, so let them have it).

It didn’t work in 2014, but religion itself lacks the potency it once had. Maybe they’ll be more sophisticated next time. Maybe spontaneous turncoats like Sturgeon are more effective and easier to sustain.

I’m sorry if that offends any fitba supporters. Perhaps I’m doing you a great injustice and you really do have a love of sport and football in particular, but I’m sorry. I see you, I see a dilution of Scotland’s sense of identity. Can’t help it. The sectarianism is NOT a feature in other sport / supporter fraternities. So why do think it is there in our wee Nation?

Luigi

Ach give the two wee political puppets a break. They have a bit of a dilemma. Two non-white leaders against each other makes for a massive problem. After all, whoever loses won’t be able to use racism as an excuse. The usual “It’s because I’m brown” nonsense won’t work this time. I would never vote for either of them, and it’s nothing to do with skin colour. I just don’t vote for clueless idiots. My heart bleeds. Popcorn ready.

I wonder when the next penny will finally drop – it was a flawed and fraudulent process that gifted Yousaf the top job in the first place. He’s the New Pretender, and in any proud, patriotic nation (like Pakistan, say), the street protests would have started on the day of his “ordination” and would have continued until he was turfed out of office.

Not here in Scotland though. Go figure what that really means for Indy.

The Guardian exposed the fake Tory empathy and commitment to resolve the life destroying
injustice perpetuated against honest hard working Post Masters over a 25 year period.

A former Post Office chair said he was told by a senior civil servant to stall compensation payouts to post office operators so the government could “limp into” the general election.

Henry Staunton, who was sacked by the business secretary, Kemi Badenoch, last month amid anger over the Horizon scandal, said the request came soon after he took up the role in December 2022.

He also alleged that Nick Read, the Post Office chief executive, tried in January to dissuade the government from proceeding with blanket exonerations for operators.

In an interview with the Sunday Times, Staunton, 75, said the request to slow down compensation payouts appeared to be an attempt to reduce the government’s financial liability before the general election this year.

“Early on, I was told by a fairly senior person to stall on spend on compensation and on the replacement of Horizon, and to limp, in quotation marks – I did a file note on it – limp into the election,” Staunton said.

“It was not an anti-postmaster thing, it was just straight financials. I didn’t ask, because I said ‘I’m having no part of it – I’m not here to limp into the election, it’s not the right thing to do by postmasters.’ The word ‘limp’ gives you a snapshot of where they were.”

Neither of them should be running Scotland as FM. Yousaf has no mandate from the Scottish people he was anointed into the role not voted for at the ballot box. Additionally neither are culturally aligned with the traditional Christian values of this country. Can you imagine a white Christian running for election as leader in Pakistan ? The same is happening in Westminster, Sunak was anointed not voted for by the electorate not only is Tory policy killing its voter base, the fact that they have an unelected PM of non Christian faith is going to cost them, the English will never vote for an non white christian to run the country.

“it obvious this new influx is isn’t due to inward migration from other parts of the UK.”

In-migration to Scotland mostly comes from or via England, so yes, from ‘other parts of UK’, and where any necessary entry visas are issued (reserved power) for those coming from further afield. The census also tells us, since records began over a century ago, that the majority of Scotland’s in-migration has come from one country, England, and this is still the case today.

Which also tells us that only independence and reclaiming sovereignty gives ‘a people’ control over their borders; ergo, whilst Scotland remains haud ticht in the ‘union’ Scots have zero control over their border and hence little or no control over population change in Scotland.

Population change appears to have accelerated over the past 25 years which leads to a further shift in the national ‘identity’ of the Scottish population over that period, this possibly exceeding one million people, or 20%+. Evidence suggests that where the indigenous population in a colonial territory is pushed below 50% then independence becomes less likely, such as in New Caledonia, and Wales. At current rates of population change such an outcome is not very far off in Scotland.

Hence the importance of population ‘management’, control over national borders, and protection of sovereignty in all countries. A country with no control over its borders is unlikely to exist in the long run.

There’s no cash to fix that one-off organ, but I’d bet that Tammany Hall aka Glasgow City Council would find the cash to tidy parts of the city up and have enough coppers on the streets if King Charles came a calling.

Scottish history and culture will always come second to those of our larger neighbour in this colonial set up.

All of Europe is shifting right. I say “thank feck”. It seems to be an indicator of the “right” that we can face reality and happily call a spade a spade.

Those on the “left” are going to have to come to terms with the harsh reality that it was on their watch that the clusterfuck we see all around came to pass. For the umpteenth time in recent history, it turns out that the progressive virtue signalling utopia just doesn’t work out. Surprised? You really shouldn’t be.

Good that you managed to namecheck Boris though. Hope he’s still not keeping you awake at night. What makes you think he’s innarested in making a political comeback?

You do know that new political personalities can come along to change the scene? Lord knows, some new faces are desperately needed in Scottish politics.

@Alf Baird 11:07

I’m inferring from your post that you disagree that “Scotland has traditionally always welcomed incomers”.

Then again, maybes it’s the influx of New Scots that are changing our traditional welcoming ways to hostility. Logically, that could work also.

I think myself that if we leave out the Scottish Exceptionalism, we can see that like every other nation and culture under the sun, we are accepting of small numbers of incomers who are prepared to assimilate and adopt our customs and values.

And like every other nation and culture under the sun, we push back when those small numbers of integrationists become large numbers of colonists.

These arseholes surely must know that the invading force in the British Empire was always disruptive.

It’s time we had an Irish attitude to immigration and stop them from coming and setting up camp in our hotels. They are a disgrace to humanity.

So Police Scotland have spied on the Human Rights lawyer Aamer Anwar, and Sheku Bayoh’s family, holding illegal information on them.

The (PIRC) Police Investigation Review Commission got involved saw there was a case to be made, and asked the COPFS for a warrant to look into Police Scotland’s files on the illegal information on the lawyer and the Bayoh family the COPFS REFUSED to give the (PIRC) the warrant.

A welcoming opendoor policy is fine in principle, but the door ought not to be left unattended.
It is your house, you must remain the arbiter of whom you choose as a guest.
European countries, despite their colonialist history and maybe because of a sense of guilt arising from that, have been slow to acknowledge that not all are welcome.
The political or culturally oppressed refugee is a rarity nowadays, most are economic migrants resulting from bad management, corruption, social dysfunction etc in their homelands.
Keeping parts of the developing world in such a condition may serve the interests of the shadowy honey-tongued power brokers for whom the nation state is antithetical to their globalist projects; free market capitalism abhors minorities and those awkward special cases.
In this bogus free movement idea, modern day transhumance, indulgent liberal social attitudes may result in social disharmony.
In the «MidEast» such things are quite controlled, often brutally. Why invite trouble when you may have already a sufficiency, with a potential for more.
Who in their right mind would desire this on your patch.

Yousaf is the last ever Leader of the SNP.
How do I justify this bold assertion?
The only viable alternative is Kate Forbes. The Sturgeon / Yousaf strategy of strangling all talent at birth to protect their personal supremacy made sure of this.
Jackson’s Entry, the MPs and MSPs can’t tolerate Forbes. Her paid attendance at Wheaton College “For Christ and His Kingdom” Illinois (6th to 10th) October was a step too far for the professionally woke zealots that make up the payroll SNP. Wheaton College requires all prospective students to sign a covenant declaring homosexuality to be immoral.
The problem for Jackson’s Entry is three fold.
* The membership is liable to chose Forbes in any genuine election contest.
* The slush fund (missing £600k, alleged Qaisar £50k bung & soon to be diminished Short money) isn’t available to create the once legion of “ghost voters”.
* If they fail to farm the election out to a third party and keep it in house, the game’s up anyway.

I listened to Yvonne Ridley’s story about Mohammed being a brilliant guy. The Muslim faith and the Christian faith is very much the same. Except they are more disciplined. I’ve got nothing against Muslims or Pakistanis. Or the Indians. I like many of them. I never have. They are part of the Glasgow fabric and the Tartan of our country.

But I despise wokeism and. Ever since black lives matter, my views have changed.

I used to be. Scotland Loves EU. I’m with Nicola.

Now I want the borders closed. Ask Anas Sarwar if he agrees that the British Empire was disruptive to the native force. And if he agrees, tell him to stop disrupting our way of life. Pack your bags and go and live in India. They can thank the British for setting up their country and democracy.

Hatuey

Ruby: “You are not putting up a very good argument Hatuey! I am disappointed.”

I liked it.

You say everyone is racist (implying natural), I say the opposite, that it’s manmade, no evidence of it in children, it is learned, institutionalised, and a trait that owes much of its existence to wider economic factors.

That last part could be developed a lot further. Racism in history tends to go hand-in-hand with top-down economic factors and goals, the slave trade, colonialism, Nazism, and what we are seeing in the Middle East right now, to name a few obvious examples.

Imagining and promulgating ideas of racial superiority makes it easier to abuse and fleece people, I suppose, or at least makes sleeping at night and looking in the mirror easier.

In short, if you fill people’s heads with silly ideas, you can get them to do almost anything. And from the perspective of the rich and powerful who run the world, that stuff is important and probably necessary.

I don’t think ordinary people would consent to bombing the Middle East, enslaving people, burning villages, etc., or take part, if their minds were not filled with such silly ideas.

I’ll decide myself who I don’t like, and I can assure you it will not be based on the colour of their skin.

Confused

in case anyone has been skipping on their nootropics, I will spell out what is really going on here –

the “asian business community” (ABC) have set themselves up for a big win by

BACKING BOTH HORSES IN THE RACE

– satisfaction guaranteed, and investments been made in both SNP and Labour (maybe even tories!) to guarantee a return.

the ABC are a foreign-originated “mercantile class” who as is usual, are on the grift :

“People of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public, or in some contrivance to raise prices.”

? Adam Smith, An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations

the added spice – a different culture/religion/racial augmentation, might normally cause trouble as folks pattern recognition (“all these rotten landlords in the west end … they all look like … “) goes into overdrive; but now a bug becomes a feature, for the pre-emptive (nice!) charge of “racism” is being levelled at any white-white-white indigenous native aboriginal person who “notices”, or asks questions.

So, if you are an official who is noticing a lot of “no show” jobs/quango posts/positions are going to someone’s cousin/sister etc, or a tax inspector who comes across what seems to be a vast carousel fraud among people who all seem to be related, and of a certain origin … you might want to re-think your approach, just in case you are operating with unconscious racial bias there.

– and if anything does go to court, expect to see the most self righteous racial grievance ambulance chaser in the land, aamer anwar, to be on the BBC giving it

“ASIAN BUSINESSES MATTER”

It is really depressing to me how often the real answer can be found by “follow the money” – is it ever wrong, I mean when you dig down to the bottom?

Put yer pennies away. They dropped a long time ago for everyone else. There is no UK democracy. There is only American puppets. Vivian has already mentioned (various times) the *organisations* our politicians are sent to for indoctrination. It’s no secret too that the YES movement has appointed freaks with no to very little backstory either & it’s also no surprise that our politicians are sent out on an all expenses jolly to two f*scist regimes pretending they’re our friends.

The British/Yankie establishment has been up to something for a while. Devoted little soldiers/useful idiots have been elevated through the ranks to push deeply unpopular policies & thats not been a coincidence. That’s to divide & rule & when it goes tits up – blame someone else.

Are you voting Labour? The very arseholes who brought us Trans rights & perverts into schools & women’s spaces? Or Tories , those great bastions of law & order who deliberately let it fester while turning a blind eye for years.

Shall we start calling you Genocide Jenny now?

Anton Decadent

@sam, you recently denied making the type of posts which you have spammed this thread with, you are a liar but that comes with the territory.

Re the two subjects of this article, they were both key movers in the cross party anti racist group which was set up within the Scottish political scene and both used it to further their careers. Sarwar used it to smear opponents within his own party in one case making accusations of racism against another member of the Scottish Labour party and refusing point blank to name the sources of the accusations. Another member of the group is Ross Greer who, along with Yusaf and probably Sarwar, took himself to a Greek beach for a photo op with Greer actually stating that God had told him to open the doors to Scotland/the West.

Re the cut and paste claims of racism in Scotland made above, as previously stated the two racist attacks on me were brushed under the carpet so no crimes are recorded as having taken place, this is how the race industry, and it is indeed an industry, works, paint one side as victims and the other as oppressors even in the face of contrary evidence. Here in Govanhill some local women were documenting its descent into crime ridden slum, in one video taken in the back courts they had pieces of scaffolding thrown at them by Roma children. Their entire channel on YouTube was nuked, no record of it exists, it is cast down the memory hole. Womens groups had enough of the atmosphere of terror in the area and marched through it in October 2014 but they were warned that complaining about being raped was hateful and when I last checked their website it had been hijacked by trans activists.

@RoS, a few weeks ago you posted a link to a grooming gang which had been convicted in Glasgow and you appeared to imply that as we have our own bringing in others doesn’t make a difference, what you failed to notice/mention is that your link contained names and photos of those convicted whereas those convicted in Operation Cerrar have been granted lifelong anonymity. Why has an organised grooming gang made up one hundred percent of people either seeking or granted asylum in Scotland been granted lifelong anonymity and at whose behest?

I am someone who works in an industry over ran by race grifting. There are absolutely no checks and balances in place with regard to their funding, it is granted automatically each year no questions asked by an ideologically captured funding body. There is a web of influence stretching across a number of industries, locations, cities and countries and nepotism, cronyism and political favouritism are rife.

Some people are going to figure out that there is a hateful, vengeful element at work in our countries and that sometimes it is made up of groups which do not normally work with each other but which have a common enemy in white Christians.

Agent Hamza was made to make that speech about white folk by his London handlers. It was done to deliberately alienate the public away from the main indy vehicle.

Same goes with his infamous “I’m not an expert on transport” comment, which came (deliberately timed) at a time when motorists were stranded on ice rink motorways. He was transport minister at the time.

Humza is a bought and paid for London gofer. Over 50% of Scots now want SFA to do with London rule now, but agent Humza has deliberately failed to capitalise on the momentum.

Every day that this ugly wee guy remains in the job serves as a reminder that London has nothing but contempt for the right of self determination in Scotland.

Both those speeches are hate speeches against the ethnic population in Scotland, and should be appropriately dealt with by the Scottish new laws on hate speech.

It also borders on ” incitement” to set and make one group of people to feel and be encouraged to feel animosity towards another ethic group openly by government political official parties.

Hate speech and incitement to cause hate towards another ethnic race are illegal in Scotland.
Why have the police not arrested and charged both of them,

I wouldn’t get too hung up on the colour thing. Garrion @2:40pm yesterday has it exactly right – it’s just a divisive thrown out there to make themselves look virtuous. However the real message is that when it comes to the interests of Scots, you know they’ll be last on the list. Standing up Starmer, don’t make me laugh.

Whilst the Hate Crime & Public Order (Scotland) Bill passed into law on 23rd April 2021 it has not yet been activated.
This is allegedly because it is such a dog’s breakfast of a piece of contradictory legislation (my summation, not the devolved adminstration’s) that it is anticipated it will be sometime this year (2024) before the Crown Office can attempt to issue any form of even vaguely comprehensive and consistent guidelines to Police Scotland.

Aye those ideas were as defeated as they were ever going to be 40 yrs ago. I tend to split folk up into good c**** and w*******. If Humza, who is Scottish, was a red hot Scottish nationalist who brought all able people together in a drive to build up our country and win our Independence he would be, in my books at least, most definitely a good c***.

Why has the very slight difference in Humza’s skin colour become a politicial issue now? The answer is of course that it isn’t an issue. It is a bullshit talking point for a w***** class. If they talk about it it becomes real. it saves them having to actually do anything. Whihc suits their clique down to the ground.

You’re right Turabdin. There’s a place for people of all colours and faiths. I like that too myself.

I’ve known and know many Christian Indians, Philipinos. Lovely well spoken people with unique brilliance. I love the Irish. I have met many muslim friends over the years that wear the headscarf. That’s their choice. But you never see the men wearing the headscarves do you?

I’ve known Iranians. Again lovely people. Very kind people.

It’s the blacks I don’t like. The Nigerians. I’m not a fan of their culture. Unfortunately they are flooding in and taking over our communities. And they don’t integrate well. They’ve got a terrible attitude. It’s awful.

If we don’t say something about it, they’ll be no scottish homeland. We’ve got no place to go back to?!

Geri

Some gender critical voices have said for a while now that Islam will be with us shortly. The GRR roasters are paving the way to fit neatly onto to the *Women know yer place & dae as yer telt* mantra.

This would explain Dumbza & the GRR drive. Muslim women & girls don’t cross his mind because they don’t have safe spaces. No such thing exists. There’s no need for them. They’re either in the hoose doing housey duties or they have a chaperone out shopping for housey stuff only & straight back hame.
Dae not browse M&S.

It’s textbook Britnat. Introduce some religious divide in conjunction with the GRR nonsense where everything is a criminal offence.

Of course, both of them left some cash on the table. The offices occupied by “whites” weren’t just full of white people at the time Humza and Anas made their speeches; they are positions that have all always been held by white people, going back forever.

They aren’t even very capable virtue signallers…

I know that the Nigerians are 50 per cent Christian, 50 per cent Islam.

Worth a read.

““In 1689, the Earl of Shaftsbury said that the English parliament was sovereign. But the English Parliament doesn’t exist anymore. The English Parliament disappeared in 1707, as did the Scottish Parliament. [In] the Parliament of the United Kingdom, there is no law at all that says that that is sovereign.

“And the reason why that’s important is because in Scotland, there’s no concept at all of parliamentary sovereignty. The Declaration of Arbroath, which you’ll all be familiar with, of course, says that sovereignty in Scotland rests with the people. That’s still the case today in Scots’ Constitutional Law. Still the case.”

@ Cameron Robson 1.05pm, I wonder if many people have personal experience of gypsies, roma, or travellers, most places that are used by the various travelling communities end up being covered in piles of refuse which contain all sorts of unedifying materials and which have to be removed , usually by local authority teams or depending on the risk factor by specialist teams for disposal, the costs for these including the specialist teams are borne by the respective local authorities as tracing the offenders is practically impossible or financially unfeasable, those costs are paid by council tax payers

There used to be a traveller site with toilets and shower blocks in between Barrhead and Paisley a very up to date facility which ended up destroyed and set on fire TBQH I don’t know who was responsible but again it was council tax payers who financed it

I’ve watched numerous programmes where police have come under sustained attack by young and old damaging vehicles by missiles when they have attempted to either arrest individuals or retrieve stolen vehicles, it is literally a no go area with threats of violence and intimidation palpable

Every time they said the word WHITE they forgot to add the word ENGLISH. Clueless absolutely clueless They know nothing of Scotland, they have had a private English education which ensures their disgust with anything Scottish.
