After Over 130 Years or More the Marxist Fantasy Continues to Haunt Glasgow,

 After Over 130 Years or More the Marxist Fantasy Continues to Haunt Glasgow.

The Marxists in Glasgow want to resurrect the old 'Red Clyde' of the 1920's and the 1930's, once a stronghold of the Communist Party amongst the working class districts of the city and later a solid base for the Labour Party before thousands of Glaswegian voters defected to supporting the SNP.

Now it seems that the Marxist Left in the city want to return to the past fantasy of the 'Red Clyde' when Communist agitators and Marxist-Leninist demagogues ruled the trade unions on Clyde side and sought to create a 'dictatorship of the proletariat' in the impoverished districts of Glasgow.

Now it is the over-indulged, middle-class 'progressives' of south Glasgow that are seeking to build that egalitarian utopia.

‘We need a revolution in society’: inside Glasgow’s socialist Red Sunday School

Socialist Sunday schools first emerged as a secular alternative to mainstream education. A century later, the Red Sunday School is back teaching anti-capitalist, anti-racist solidarity to kids in the Southside.

The above statement from December 2022 spells out the motivation behind those 'adults'           re-creating the so-called ~"Socialist Sunday schools"  - which had died away in the early 1980's.

The Red Sunday School was launched in 2021 and has already drawn negative media attention in October 2023 by its publication of a magazine supporting Palestine and the struggle in Gaza.

Even the Red Sunday School promotional statements on-line are coloured red.

We are a group of activists, educators, parents, carers and cultural workers who, inspired by the history of the Socialist Sunday School movement, aim to reestablish a similar network of schools. From 1890–1980 Glasgow was one of the heartlands of the Socialist Sunday School movement, which aimed to ‘teach children to think for themselves, feel themselves part of the great community of workers, and supply the Socialist movement with fearless, capable and conscientious thinkers.’ Children took part in the running of the schools, contributed to the curriculum, chaired meetings and recorded minutes and decisions. The Socialist Sunday Schools were a central part of the city’s flourishing socialist culture and trained some of its greatest organisers.

NOTE: The Classic Cultural Marxist language being used here.....

Red Sunday School is a space for children and young people to think for themselves, play with freedom, question the world around them, and change it. Organised on the principles of socialism and solidarity, the School provides tools and resources for the creative exploration of nature, culture and society from a radical perspective, and encourages active participation in the great struggles of our day: anti-racism, the climate crisis, feminism, and the revolutionary transformation of capitalism. Red Sunday School sets out to be an antidote to current mainstream education focused on producing workers ready to compete in the marketplace, regardless of the mental and physical costs to young people.

There are Plenty of 'Progressive' values (Woke) providing motivation for the youngsters being drawn into this organisation.

Our organisation

Red Sunday School is a secular, non-party affiliated organisation. A committee exists to run a monthly socialist school for children, a community meal, a lending library of radical children’s literature, and trips to the countryside. The committee will eventually help form a children’s committee that is able to advise the school.





Pictured above: The Red Sunday School magazine that caught the attention of the national newspapers.

Although it is a 'Sunday school' the narrative is "secular" - that is non-religious and the narrative is blatantly Leftist.

The SNP is in Visible Decline. Humza Yousaf Struggles to Stay in Control and Scottish Labour Foul Their Own Nest Over Energy.

 THE SNP IS IN VISIBLE DECLINE:- HUMZA YOUSAF STRUGGLES TO STAY IN CONTROL AND NOW SCOTTISH LABOUR HAS FOULED THEIR OWN NEST OVER ENERGY POLICY.

There is an unpleasant struggle taking place in Scottish politics right now.


The SNP is struggling to clean up its image in the face of all the revelations coming out of the Covid inquiry about the policy making by former First Minister Nicola Sturgeon and her hand-picked 'gold command' group, and the wholesale destruction and deleting of WhatsApp messages and possibly other records of policy making by the SNP led Scottish government.

Plus the whole scandal around the social media accounts and Michael Matheson's iPad bill payments.

Plus some unsettling revelations about members of Humza Yousaf's extended family and links to certain Islamist factions. Plus Humza Yousaf's recent surprise 'holiday' to Qatar.

No wonder that there are rumours circulating Holyrood that within the SNP there are factions that want to remove Humza Yousaf as leader and replace him with someone who can stop the rapid decline in support for the SNP and restore trust in the party.

Scottish Labour has recently held its best attended and most successful party conference for years and Anas Sarwar, the leader of the Labour Party in Scotland senses a change on the way. After years of playing second fiddle to  the SNP, Scottish Labour thinks that it can regain its past dominance of Scottish politics, the dominance taken from the Labour Party by the SNP.

But, Anas Sarwar has managed to upset the executives of the major oil, gas and off-shore engineering industry after his recent visits to Aberdeen.

Scottish Labour is keen to prise away the Scottish Greens from supporting the SNP and so Sarwar is trying to make all kinds of noises that suggest that a future Labour leadership of the Scottish government will carry out a lot of eco-friendly policies and push for net-zero on carbon emissions, create 'Green jobs' etc etc.


In order to help present this posturing, some weeks ago Anas Sarwar, together with Labour Party leader Sir Keir Starmer and the Labour Party shadow energy geek Ed Milliband went to Aberdeen to meet with oil and gas sector executives to present the Labour Party future plans to move away from North Sea oil and gas, but with plans to invest instead in low-carbon energy projects.

Then at the Scottish Labour annual conference Anas Sarwar gave a long speech about future plans to counter the high cost of energy, to counter the cost of living crisis and how in Scotland a future Labour led Scottish government would put a massive windfall tax on the oil and gas companies. This has gone down very badly with company heads in Aberdeen and statements from 800 oil, gas and engineering executives have warned that Sarwar's Scottish Labour strategy would cost as many as 100,000 North Sea jobs.

As BM Scotland has said many times before : Scottish voters need to be careful what they wish for because if the SNP collapses at the next general election to be replaced by Scottish Labour, then instead of Humza Yousaf (son of Asian immigrants) then Scotland would be led by Anas Sarwar (son of Asian immigrants).  Are there no real Scots out there to lead Scotland?

Meanwhile, First Minister Humza Yousaf continues to play at being an international statesman, meeting up with foreign heads of state and foreign diplomats. Even though he has been previously warned by the Foreign Office that he does not have the authority to do so without the presence of the Foreign Minister or civil servants from the Foreign Office being present.

Most commentators agree that the price increase will hit consumers but the biggest share of the price increase will go into the pockets of the retailers, especially the big supermarket chains.

This Will Impact On Scotland  - especially if Humza Yousaf gets his way on importing thousands of Palestinians to Scotland.

The SNP Persists with the Scottish Independence Fantasy - Humza Yousaf Makes Another Pointless Speech. And further revelations about Nicola Sturgeon.

 The SNP Persists with the Scottish Independence Fantasy - Humza Yousaf Makes Another Pointless Speech. And further revelations about Nicola Sturgeon.

As Scotland slides into 2024, the political climate is almost as rocky as the January weather.

Meanwhile further revelations emerge about Nicola Sturgeon and SNP 'transparency' - the deliberate destruction of WhatsApp messages and social media communications by Nicola Sturgeon when she was still Scottish First Minister, SNP health minister and health officials.

The Covid Enquiry has further exposed Nicola Sturgeon and the SNP, meanwhile First Minister Humza Yousaf began the year with another pointless speech about Scottish independence.

It seems that the leadership of the SNP believe that the General Election in 2024 will give them the opportunity tp push the Independence campaign into reality!

Even more bizarre are the revelations at the Covid 19 Inquiry hearings in Edinburgh that during the Covid pandemic, the SNP leadership under Nicola Sturgeon actually thought that the way the Scottish government under SNP direction handled the Covid crisis would act in favour of Scottish independence!

Meanwhile the Covid Inquiry continues to expose Nicola Sturgeon as untrustworthy and anything but 'open and transparent'.


The SNP Has Always Yapped on About 'Democracy' and 'Democratic Processes' When it is Criticising its Political Opponents - But When in Power the SNP Does not Operate with Transparency, Honesty or Open Political Discussion and Debate.

More Revelations from the Covid Inquiry in Edinburgh

A former SNP MSP has declared that Nicola Sturgeon was "such a convincing fraud" over her deliberate deleting of WhatsApp messages, this was the opinion of Joan McAlpine served as an SNP MSP for 10 years. The deleting of WhatsApp messages was not just a regular feature of the SNP leader during the Covid pandemic, but also a regular activity amongst her leadership team; her deputy, John Swinney used 'auto-delete' on all his WhatsApp messages as did most of her key advisors. Apparently the rules on freedom of information did not apply to the SNP leadership.

So much for 'democratic' decision making, openness and transparency. Nicola Sturgeon operated an SNP dictatorship style of governing, she had a so-called 'gold command' of senior advisors and SNP ministers. Together the SNP 'gold command' made policy decisions about Covid lockdowns and population control in meetings where no minutes were recorded and there was no discussion at Scottish government cabinet level, Sturgeon and her select SNP 'gold command' group made all the important decisions.

Now even Humza Yousaf is having to stop making excuses for the former SNP leader and First Minister, this week, faced with all the on-going evidence before the Edinburgh inquiry, he has stated that, he "apologised unreservedly" to the inquiry and to the people of Scotland bereaved by the pandemic, for the Scottish government's failings to hand over the WhatsApp messages dealing with their handling of the Covid pandemic.

Given all that is coming out before the official inquiry in Edinburgh, is the SNP really fit to govern Scotland?  And if Scotland had been independent during the pandemic - then how far would the SNP have gone to conceal its actions and what else would they cover up?

Aberdeen

Aberdeen - a city economy declining in real terms - is that what the SNP government means by 'Net-Zero'?

The recently released figures looking into the whole UK economy and earnings has highlighted Aberdeen as a city where earnings, investment and business potential has gone into steep decline.

The Eco-sensitive policies cooked up between the SNP and the Scottish Greens are the kiss of death to Aberdeen as a centre for the British oil and gas industry.

If Scotland was independent under SNP rule, what else would happen to Aberdeen ?

How the SNP ended the Year 2023: A BM Scotland Perspective.

 How the SNP Ended the Year 2023: - A British Movement (Scotland) Perspective


2023 Was Not A Successful Year For First Minister Humza Yousaf. The ongoing questions about his predecessor Nicola Sturgeon, her husband and other senior SNP financial officials rumble on. The disastrous SNP handling of the Scottish economy, failing state of NHS Scotland, poor showing of Scotland's education system, the worst levels of drug related deaths in western Europe and the SNP obsession with Scottish independence.

The old year ended with continuing questions about the internal workings of the SNP, with the whole tangle web of issues around SNP finances, funds and donations during the leadership of Nicola Sturgeon. The Police Scotland investigation into Nicola Sturgeon, her husband and some of his key associates has not gone away.

The current First Minister, Humza Yousaf continues to embarrass himself and the SNP with his 'international statesman'  posturing and more questions emerge about his past failings as an SNP minister, especially his dismal track record when he was Scottish health secretary.

The laughable idea of establishing an exclusively 'Scottish', that is SNP controlled embassy in the USA. Fair enough that the Scottish government maintains a number of overseas offices dedicated to promoting tourism, Scottish produce and whisky exports, but seriously an 'embassy'?

The Scottish government maintains a total of  seven offices in seven countries including a Trade and Investment office in Ottawa, Canada and an 'EU Office' in Brussels. One of the larger 'trade and investment' offices has a full time paid staff team which is 20 strong.

 The SNP government actually has a budget of £6 million per year to fund the offices in Canada, USA, China, Germany, France, Belgium (Brussels) and Ireland. The office in Brussels alone costs the Scottish government £2.5 million per year.

Meanwhile Another Old Funding Question Has Surfaced To Haunt Humza Yousaf

SNP government grants to the Scottish Islamic Foundation.

Now documents have surfaced from as far back as 2008, with questions around Humza Yousaf and £405,000 grants to the Scottish Islamic Foundation. Back in the distant years when Alex Salmond was in charge of the SNP, it seems that questions were being asked about substantial government grants of funding going to the Scottish Islamic Foundation. Even more so given that one of the SI Foundation directors at the time was none other than a certain Mr Humza Yousaf. Also one of the other senior SI Foundation officials was his cousin Osama Saeed, and it turns out that Osama Saeed was an 'advisor. to the SNP leadership before standing as an SNP election candidate in 2010. More documents relating to funding grants to the Scottish Islamic Foundation are yet to be made public, but at least they were not buying camper vans!

Most mainstream media political commentators are now predicting a collapse in support for the Scottish National Party at the next General Election.  However Scottish voters would do well to remember the the SNP marched into power on the back of the loss of support across Scotland for the Labour Party, and the Labour Party leader Sir Keir Starmer and his Scottish Labour colleague Anas Sarwar are building their hopes on a resurgence of support from Scottish voters. They are hoping that the old dissatisfaction with Labour will have been forgotten.

As this website has said many times before, Scottish voters need to be careful what they wish for when they vote. It could be that they replace one second generation Pakistani immigrant as First Minister with another - swapping Humza Yousaf for Anas Sarwar.

British Movement (Scotland): more bad news for the SNP - more policy failures and on-going scandals.

 

British Movement (Scotland): more bad news for the SNP - more policy failures and on-going scandals.


First Minister Humza Yousaf - doing what he does best. No wonder that the Al-Mahdi Islamic Centre in Glasgow got such generous financial support from the SNP government.

In a recent BM Scotland blog we commented that scandals emerging from the SNP and its leadership are the 'gift that keeps on giving'. And so it continues....

The SNP Public Spending and Taxation Policies; increasing the top earner tax payment levels in Scotland could see the highest earners moving south to live in England which would mean a loss of potential and actual high tax income for Holyrood.

This insight this week from the Guardian newspaper:

Although the Guardian is a national media mouthpiece for the liberal 'progressive' and Left-wing of British politics, and usually looks favourably on the SNP

Unlike the UK government, Holyrood has few options but to balance its yearly budget. Inflation produced £580m more in tax receipts than projected and the SNP gambled that this would be enough for outlays, such as £100m for NHS waiting lists and higher than expected pay awards, to bolster its flagging appeal. This was a costly bet to lose. The Fraser of Allander Institute warns that the public sector workforce – which accounts for one in five jobs in Scotland – may have to shrink to fill next year’s £1.5bn gap between spending commitments and state revenues.

           In a real blow to the SNP obsession with Scottish independence, even the Guardian is at pains to point out that the SNP Scottish government is forced to go cap in hand to Westminster for millions of pounds to function, something an independent Scotland could not do. Perhaps the SNP believes that by some miracle the European Union would fund a newly independent Scotland.

Again the Guardian makes the point:

Egalitarian values have long been the rhetorical basis of Scottish nationalism. The SNP’s policy differentiation did see free university tuition as well as increasing benefits for poorer families. Scotland has a legacy of deep poverty and deindustrialisation. Without more cash from Westminster, the Scottish government’s choices are limited, as its borrowing options are constrained. Humza Yousaf, the SNP first minister, might say higher taxes on the rich build a “fairer society”. 


Meanwhile  More SNP Scandals Enter the Public Mind

First of all the recent revelations about the SNP grants to a Glasgow mosque linked to Iran.

It seems that the official SNP admissions about a grant to the Al-Mahdi Islamic Centre and mosque in Glasgow was downplayed and the true value of the grant was almost double the original amount.

Classing the grant as being made to a 'charity', the Scottish government made an initial grant of £193,000 to the Al-Mahdi Foundation from the Scottish 'Climate Change Fund', which comes out of the Scottish government budget.

But it finally emerged in mid-December that the total grants given to the Al-Mahdi Islamic Centre in Glasgow amounted to a staggering £372,000.

Given this Islamic Centre and mosque's close ties to Iran and the Iran Islamic Republic with the regime's known hostility to the United Kingdom and the West, how does the SNP administration justify this?


Do Not Forget Nicola Sturgeon

And it would not be the SNP without more information leaking out about Police Scotland investigations into the SNP linked financial dealings of former First Minister Nicola Sturgeon and her husband.

                                                   Did someone mention the purchase of a £95,000 Jaguar car ?                                           Where did the money come from to buy that Jag?

Not forgetting that the investigation into the purchase of the camper van by Sturgeon and her husband has not gone away yet.

British Movement (Scotland) - Latest SNP Scandal - BM News and Views - December 2023 in Scotland.

British Movement Scotland: Latest SNP Scandal BM News and Views - December 2023 in Scotland.

And the SNP continues to provide its own bad news!

Now there are media stories circulating about a sex scandal involving SNP Members of the Scottish Parliament.

First Minister Humza Yousaf has just returned from playing his favourite role as an international statesman at the COP28 conference in Dubai. As is often the case when the First Minister of Scotland is strutting on an international stage he is making bold statements and making promises to Third World politicians as if he is some kind of great leader of a powerful, wealthy nation.


Humza Yousaf has promised that the Scottish government will invest £2 million in the so-called 'climate justice' projects in the Third World countries of the 'global south'.

"Our world-first climate justice fund will continue to focus on communities most affected by climate change, and in order to deliver for those who need it most we must ensure the views and needs of those typically marginalised in such communities – particularly urban voices from the global south and youth perspectives "

Which part of the Scottish government budget is that money being taken from?

Why not invest in the needs of Scotland and the Scottish people?


Meanwhile back at the ranch in Holyrood, the Covid 19 lockdowns were apparently breached by two SNP politicians conducting an extra marital affair.

Rumours and denials abound, but it is strongly suggested that the husband of the woman MSP involved has been threatened with violence (by persons not yet identified) for speaking out.

And do not forget the SNP at the Court of Sessions

The SNP and its lawyers are trying to block Freedom of Information requests, still trying to hide internal SNP documents from scrutiny, still putting up a smokescreen for Nicola Sturgeon.

Remember that when she was First Minister Nicola Sturgeon used to boast about her government's 'transparency' and 'openness' and yet time and again the official Covid-19 inquiry cannot secure the Whats App messages it has requested from the SNP (and Nicola Sturgeon) and for some reason a stack of notes on paper that Nicola Sturgeon used but then destroyed.

So much for 'openness' and 'transparency' in the SNP government.

And the High Court says that the Westminster government rejection of the SNP inspired Gender Recognition reform bill was lawful.

As the week ends, the Hugh Court inflicts another defeat on the SNP government, although the Scottish Greens, plus a number of MSPs from Scottish Labour and of course the Lib Dems had a hand in this failed piece of Holyrood legislation.

Not surprisingly this legal ruling by Scotland's highest court has not gone down well with the 'progressive' elements in Scottish politics.  The "Equality spokesperson" for the Scottish Greens has said that the high court ruling as a "democratic outrage" and "a devastating day for equality".                  Wow! they don't like to be told No do they?

Predictably First Minister Humza Yousaf upset that the court supported the blocking of an SNP led legislation, said that the court decision was, "a dark day for devolution".

As is to be expected LGBTQ organisations like Stonewall Scotland and Scottish Trans are less than happy that such liberal and 'progressive' legislation has been rejected.

Yet the majority of ordinary Scots do not support such gender political legislation.


And NO we did not forget St Andrew's Day !

British Movement(Scotland) was proud to celebrate Scotland's national day.





And its not just the SNP and Labour Party we don't like;

BM Scotland don't trust the Tories either!

Nor the Scottish Greens, the Liberal Democrats, the Alba Party and any organisation that is Communist, Trotskyist, Maoist, or 'Woke'!
