BM Scotland: Scots Need to be Careful What They Wish For - the SNP is in decline but Scottish Labour is on a come-back.

 Scots Need to be Careful What They Wish For - the SNP is in decline but Scottish Labour is on a come-back.



It would be a huge mistake to swap the Labour Party for the SNP, to replace Humza Yousaf with Anas Sarwar as First Minister. As soon as the official survey results showed that support for the SNP was fading away, Sir Keir Starmer arrived in Scotland to gleefully support Anas Sarwar and to pose for the press, announcing to anyone who would listen, that the Labour Party is staging a big comeback in Scotland and will not only flood Holyrood with new Labour MSP's, but will capture enough seats in Scotland at the General Election to hold the balance of power at Westminster.

That outlook should make any true Scot groan in despair.

IS THIS REALLY THE FACE OF SCOTLAND'S FUTURE?
Not so popular these days - 'Useless' Humza Yousaf - are his days as Scotland's First Minister draining away as support for the SNP declines?

SNP popularity ratings are in free fall

Latest poll rating - Nicola Sturgeon approval ratings have dropped below zero into minus points - last count she was at minus 18.  On Monday June 19th Sturgeon returned to her home address in Glasgow after hiding away for a week after being arrested and questioned by police for hours. Nicola Sturgeon posed on her driveway for the press and answered easy questions from the assembled journalists to repeat her mantra, "I have done nothing wrong".  Time will tell.

Meanwhile back at Bute House and at SNP head office in Edinburgh

Poor old Humza 'Useless' Yousaf is not doing much better as his ratings are in the minus rankings too. So it is away to Dundee to convince the SNP faithful and any sympathetic journalists in attendance that he is the one to set out the SNP formula for achieving the second independence referendum that Nicola Sturgeon singularly failed to achieve.

DUNDEE SNP CONFERENCE

Still chasing the fantasy of Scottish independence.

The SNP campaign for Scottish independence and breaking up the Union of Great Britain is still lingering around. Too many years of SNP propaganda still has too many Scots thinking that Scotland could go it alone and survive as an 'independent nation' back in the European Union.

Now Humza Yousaf will make his play and try to convince those SNP die-hards that it can be done, ignoring all the past failures to achieve the fantasy.

This blogger is old enough to remember the SNP campaign literature of the 1970's and 1980's claiming that, "It's Scotland's Oil!"   But Humza Yousaf has now turned his back on all that because the SNP now believes that oil is bad !  And the SNP needs to keep the Scottish Greens as allies in Holyrood, so oil and gas exploration and related jobs are out.  Wonder how those ideas sell in Aberdeen and on Shetland?

BM Scotland - Can't Stop Laughing - Nicola Sturgeon Arrested is There More to Follow?

 BM SCOTLAND: Can't Stop Laughing as Nicola Sturgeon is Arrested is There More to Follow?



Howled laughing when I got the message that "Nicola Sturgeon has been lifted by the Polis "

Sunday June 11th 2023 - First Minister of Scotland Mr Humza Yousaf was giving an interview, in this interview he gave this glowing tribute to his predecessor Nicola Sturgeon,

" one of the most impressive politicians Europe has seen over the last couple of decades."

Wow ! That was some tribute from the guy that described himself as the 'continuity candidate' during the SNP leadership elections, Humza Yousaf intends to continue where Nicola Sturgeon left off when she stepped down.

But then - at 10.09am on the same day, Police Scotland arrested Nicola Sturgeon and drove her off in a marked police car, she was questioned by detectives for more than seven hours before being released without charges but still under investigation.

For some reason Sturgeon did not return to her home in Uddingston, Glasgow after being released but was driven to what the media described as "an undisclosed address."

The Missing £600,000 from SNP donation funds....

A wee recap :  So far the SNP has seen its former executive Peter Murrell was arrested in early April and questioned, then released without charges but still under investigation; Peter Murrell resigned his post in the SNP executive;  in mid April the SNP party treasurer Colin Beattie MSP, was arrested and questioned, again released without charges but still under investigation; the SNP head quarters in Edinburgh were entered under a search warrant by police and documents and computers removed. When Peter Murrell was arrested, the house and grounds were searched and documents and other items removed as possible evidence.

It is not looking good for the SNP, is Humza Yousaf still hoping to continue Nicola Sturgeon's agenda?  If so does he intend to be arrested?

Humza told a BBC interview that he could not get involved or comment because as leader of the SNP and First Minister of Scotland, "I've got a really important duty not to be seen to prejudice or interfere in a live police investigation."

Not looking good for the SNP - someone ask Humza Yousaf - 'Where is that £600,000 ?'


Meanwhile support for the SNP across Scotland continues to fall and there is a by election coming up in Rutherglen and Hamilton West following the disgrace of an SNP MP.

Are the wheels coming off the SNP band wagon?

Edinburgh - Gordon Brown Leads A Conference of Leftists and Globalists Undermining the United Kingdom by Stealth

 Edinburgh - Gordon Brown leads a conference of Leftists and Globalists undermining the United Kingdom by stealth.

Gordon Brown was the driving force behind the Edinburgh conference on June 1st 2023, with a series of strategies and policies developed by the so-called think tank 'Our Scottish Future'.


Of course Gordon Brown will not stray from the policies and strategies agreed at Davos with his friends and allies at the WEF. All the proposals for a future Britain put forward at Edinburgh are dependent on a Labour Party victory in the 2024 General Election.

The gathered great and good at the conference described themselves as 'the Alliance for Radical Democratic Change' and propose a future restructuring of the United Kingdom built around the devolved system of government currently operating in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Some speakers suggested that Northern Ireland should be given the opportunity to follow Sinn Fein into a future united Ireland, severing Ulster from the United Kingdom.

Other than Gordon Brown, the key names present at this conference reads like a 'Who's Who' list of politicians and opinion makers and influencers that BM Scotland would not trust under any circumstances.

Key players at the 'Alliance for Radical Democratic Change' conference were;

     Anas Sarwar - Scottish Labour Party - speaking with the approval of Keir Starmer.            Gordon Brown actually went so far as to call Anas Sarwar "the future First Minister of Scotland".

Mark Drakeford - Welsh Labour Party and First Minister of Wales, leader of the devolved government of Wales.

Andy Burnham, the Labour Mayor of Greater Manchester, former Labour MP and the poster boy for the 'progressive' face of Labour local government.

Steve Rotheram - Labour Mayor of Liverpool City region.

Tracey Brabin, Labour Mayor of west Yorkshire, former Labour MP for Batley, West Yorkshire, former TV soap actress, and never shy to remind journalists that she was a close friend of the late Jo Cox MP.

The high profile list of 'progressive' speakers together with a mixture of left-wing academics and self-styled 'democratic socialists' should stand as a warning not just to the people of Scotland, but to all the British folk of Wales, England and Northern Ireland, as to what these political movers and shakers have in mind for the future of Great Britain.




Tensions are Growing at Holyrood between the SNP and the Scottish Greens

All is not going smoothly at Holyrood between the SNP and their allies in the Scottish Greens, the much trumpeted Bute House agreement which was stitched together by Nicola Sturgeon in 2021, is starting to splinter. The Greens were brought into government to bolster the SNP administration after the last elections where the SNP failed to achieve a controlling majority. This manoeuvre of course gave the Scottish Greens a level of political influence far beyond their actual level of support amongst Scottish voters. The cost to the SNP was the inclusion of Green policies in legislation and the introduction of a number of 'eco-green' measures that had little actual support amongst ordinary Scots.

Now, these 'eco' policies are causing rifts between some SNP MSPs and the Greens, both in the background and in the chamber at Holyrood. The SNP rural affairs secretary Mairi Gougeon is outspoken in her opposition to some of the environmental controls being proposed by the Greens, MSP Kate Forbes has declared that she wants to scrap some of the plans for fishing and coastal controls being pushed through, and SNP MSP Fergus Ewing actually stood up in the chamber at Holyrood during discussions and ripped up a Green proposed consultation document.

It seems that some of the legislation being launched by the Scottish Greens and supported by urban based 'progressive' SNP MSPs is being directly challenged by the island and coastal populations most affected. there are accusations that Edinburgh based politicians and academics are totally out of touch with the lives, traditions and livelihoods of the communities they are imposing their 'eco' policies on.


Operation  Branchform   - the Police Scotland investigation into the SNP finances and spending has not gone away.

The Chief Constable of Police Scotland, Sir Iain Livingstone has given press statement to national newspapers justifying the methods and tactics used so far to investigate the SNP finances and those involved in directing and spending the £600,000 of donations from SNP independence supporters that are under scrutiny.

Meanwhile Nicola Sturgeon is whining that the continuing Police Scotland investigation into her activities and spending of funds in the SNP and her leadership of the SNP is down to 'sexism' and 'misogyny'.

Really ?   What about the arrest of her husband and other former senior SNP executives who are all  male and she has not been arrested (yet). How is 'sexism' and 'misogyny' influencing that?

Best strategy of defence - play the victim.

Police Scotland have recently stated that the investigation into Peter Murrell (Sturgeon's husband) is still open and on-going and that Nicola Sturgeon is still being investigated and at some point in the future she could be arrested and brought in for questioning.
