British Movement Scotland - Towards the end of the year and it has been a bad year for the SNP.
2024 was not a good year for the SNP.
In the UK General Election in July 2024 the SNP group in the House of Commons at Westminster was greatly reduced as the resurgent Labour Party took Scottish seats.
Meanwhile as the Labour government is losing ground nationally, in Scotland the SNP now finds itself under pressure from both Labour and Reform UK.
Add to that all the changes of leadership the SNP has suffered across the year and the blocking of SNP reforms pushed forward at Holyrood but blocked by the Westminster government. SNP First Minister John Swinney has been staging damage limitation to the SNP ever since he was elevated to leader.
John Swinney is desperate to salvage some semblance of the SNP as a political force in Scotland to prevent disaster in the Holyrood elections in 2026. Looking at the year the SNP has had in 2024, there is a lot of damage already done.
Turkish Barber Shops
An in depth investigation carried out by a 'Daily Mail' journalist into the rapid expansion of so-called 'Turkish' barber shops across England and Wales has unearthed some worrying facts.
Many of these barber shops, (not all) are operated by criminal syndicates to launder drug money, to operate as cash only outlets to avoid taxes, to employ illegal immigrants, to act as drug couriers, also to people traffic and to act as fronts for prostitution. The list is endless. Also many are not actually Turkish, but can be Kurdish, Syrian, Albanian, Bulgarian, Romanian or even Ethiopian.
According to an interview with the 'Daily Mail' journalist, most of her focus was on towns and cities in England and Wales, but the problem is spreading into Scotland. Most noted were Glasgow and Dundee, but also spreading out into other other towns in the central belt of Scotland and up the east coast into Aberdeen.
As illegal immigration into the UK is driving this expansion it seems that the police nationally are unwilling to look into the networks of barber shops in the same way they are reluctant to start investigating networks of nail bars and hand car wash businesses.
Nicola Sturgeon is still trying to be relevant in Scottish politics.
On Monday December 16th 2024, the former leader of the SNP and First Minister of Scotland, Nicola Sturgeon appeared in a flattering interview article in the Guardian newspaper.
The main focus of the article was Nicola Sturgeon's role in Gay and rights gender politics in Scotland. Sturgeon claimed a key role in getting same-sex marriage legalised in Scottish law, which became legal in December 2014, and she continues to push for transgender reforms in Scotland, the failure to get her 'gender recognition rules' into law still irritates her.
Police Scotland Investigation into SNP Funding and Finances.
Not surprisingly, Sturgeon plays down any mention of the still on going Police Scotland investigation into SNP finances and her husband (Peter Murrell) or her part in that. She conveniently fails to mention that Murrell, the former SNP chief executive was charged with embezzlement and the investigation is continuing.
BRITISH MOVEMENT SCOTLAND HAILS ALL PATRIOTIC SCOTS ON SAINT ANDREW'S DAY 2024.
Scotland needs to base its Nationalism on Blood and Soil, Faith and Folk.
British National Socialism is the way forward to build a solid Folk Community across Scotland, uniting our folk, honouring our culture, history, heritage and traditions but remaining part of the union of Great Britain, the United Kingdom.

Rock Against Communism Music Event in Bathgate Defies Left-Wing Intimidation
Bathgate - November 16th 2024.
Hate of Hope!
On Saturday the 16th November a ballad gig was organised in Scotland. This was to coincide with their usual celebration of St Andrews day that is held annually each year. Also for a mark of Remembrance for British personal killed while serving in the Armed Forces. On Wednesday the 13th of November Nick Lowles of Hope not Hate decided he was going to do what he always does and incite Ultra Left Wing Echo Terrorists to mobilise and try and disrupt the gig or attack people wanting to attend the event. Lowles, a fanatical hater of anything traditional about Britain, was spreading his hate through his usual channels via Social Media, getting his minions to phone round and threaten publican’s and threaten any establishment that may let musicians from Rock Against Communism play at the event. Police Scotland also who are advised by Lowles were scrambling around visiting peoples houses and threatening them. Its utterly disgusting that an organisation such as Police Scotland which is supposed to represent everyone impartially takes orders from Marxists such as Lowles's organisation, a well known instigator that use Communist tactics to threaten law abiding people.
No laws are broken while these concerts are happening. In fact the event was used to raise money for a project being run by British Movement North West called (Feed the Streets). One of Ian Stuart's acoustic guitar’s was on show and for a donation people attending the event could have their photos taken with it. A sum of £500 was raised for the British Homeless who are left to rot by the British government. This money will buy medical supplies and blankets chocolate and water and other items they need all for Our People on the streets. Some of them ex soldiers.
Lowles and his band of Cultural Marxist terrorists (Communists) planned a demonstration at Bathgate Train Station which of course Lowles wouldn’t be present at. 10 of them turned up, so their mobilisation was useless anyway. Lowles then issued a statement saying that his minions and Police Scotland had found the venue and had got it cancelled. Which was just in his and Police Scotland's heads. As the event went ahead as planned, with no trouble, no interference and no violence committed by Lowles's Communist rabble.
We who attended the event were greeted by good honest people who care about their people and Nation. Who are sick of the ever evident two tiered Political Policing instigated by such people such as Lowles. His vile politics and instigating of Violence towards anyone who disagrees with his political agenda of being master Witch Hunter is all a fallacy within his tiny little head.
While he and Police Scotland his political puppets were busy persecuting good people, money was raised for the indigenous British Homeless on our streets. While his Communist co horts were holding their 'Demo' in Bathgate, Money was being raised for the indigenous British Homeless.

Edinburgh Diwali Festival 2024
Evidence that the Great Replacement is Impacting on Scotland.
This is not just about illegal immigrants and 'asylum seekers' being housed in hotels and rented properties in Scottish towns and cities.
The mainstream media and Left-wing politicians say that the Great Replacement is just a 'Far-Right Conspiracy Theory'.
But the what about the Hindu Diwali festival celebrated in Edinburgh city centre in November ?
DOES THIS ACTUALLY SOUND LIKE A TRADITIONAL SCOTTISH CELEBRATION?
This report from the Edinburgh News
Diwali is a five-day festival of lights, celebrated by millions of Hindus, Sikhs, Jains and Buddhists around the world.
In Edinburgh, Diwali is celebrated with a free festival that starts with a parade from St Andrew Square, led by the Lord Provost of Edinburgh. The annual event takes place in the first week of November in 2024.
Diwali is a five-day festival of lights, celebrated by millions of Hindus, Sikhs, Jains and Buddhists around the world.
In Edinburgh, Diwali is celebrated with a free festival that starts with a parade from St Andrew Square, led by the Lord Provost of Edinburgh. The annual event takes place in the first week of November in 2024.
Diwali is a five-day festival of lights, celebrated by millions of Hindus, Sikhs, Jains and Buddhists around the world.
The Diwali parade features floats with giant Hindu Gods: Ganesha, the Elephant God; Hanuman, the Monkey God and Commander in Chief of Rama’s Army; Shiva, God that destroys and transforms the Universe and the centrepiece of Rama’s Horse-drawn Chariot carrying Rama, his wife Sita, his brother Lakshman and Hanuman returning from exile after killing Demon God Ravana.
Music and dance includes pipe bands, led by the band of the Scottish Regiment and folk dancers from India and Scotland.
At the end of the Edinburgh Diwali Parade the Diwali celebrations move onto The Ross Bandstand in West Princes Street Gardens for live performance typically ranging from Bollywood style dance to dramatic enactment.
A selection of North and South Indian Food will be available and the Festival ends with a firework show around 5.30pm.
Edinburgh Diwali is a registered charity, started as an initiative by the Lord Provost in 2015. The Edinburgh Diwali Festival is free to all.
This is the tenth year that Edinburgh has celebrated the Festival of Lights in the city centre. Edinburgh Diwali began as an Indian festival and this is the largest public Diwali event in Scotland with dancers and musicians from South America, India and Scotland.
Rajnish Singh, President of Edinburgh Diwali, said: “‘We are celebrating our 10th Diwali, Festival of Light, complementing 900 years of Edinburgh city. Diwali is one of the most widely celebrated Indian festivals across the world by the Indian diaspora. We at Edinburgh Diwali organise the festival in such a way that anyone interested can participate with no barriers – open to all and free to attend in the city centre.
“The organisation of Diwali 2024 is not possible without the hard work of Edinburgh Diwali committee, volunteers, performers, and the support from City of Edinburgh Council and our sponsors. I would like to extend my gratitude to all of them and to our audience for their continued support. We also highly appreciate the support and guidance from the office of Lord Provost of Edinburgh, Consul General of India, Edinburgh, and many long-standing friends of Edinburgh Diwali.”
The Edinburgh Reporter again, enthusiastically said this.....
Edinburgh Diwali, a registered Scottish charity, has been organising Edinburgh’s primary public Diwali celebration since 2015. This vibrant, multicultural event warmly welcomes people of all backgrounds and has become one of Edinburgh’s most popular community-led festivals, now a fixture in the city’s festive calendar.
The 2024 Diwali celebration, scheduled for Sunday 3rd November, marks Edinburgh Diwali’s 10th anniversary. To commemorate this milestone, Edinburgh Diwali held a special reception in the Scottish Parliament’s Holyrood Room on 30 October, sponsored by Foysol Choudhury MSP, who welcomed attendees.
Distinguished guests included First Minister of Scotland John Swinney, Leader of the Scottish Labour Party Anas Sarwar MSP, Minister for Equality Kaukab Stewart MSP, Leader of the Scottish Liberal Democrats Alex Cole-Hamilton MSP, Neil Bibby MSP, and the Indian Consul General in Edinburgh, Mr Siddharth Malik. The event brought together over 100 guests, including representatives from community organisations, councillors, and long-time supporters of Edinburgh Diwali.
Dancers from Ahalya Dance Academy and Dance Ihayami showcased traditional and fusion performances, adding to the festive atmosphere.
Mr Rajnish Singh, President of Edinburgh Diwali, extended a warm welcome and expressed gratitude to the sponsor, speakers, performers, attendees, photographers, decorators, and the Scottish Parliament events team on behalf of the Edinburgh Diwali Committee. Guests enjoyed an evening of light refreshments and celebration.
Foysol Choudhury MSP said:
“Hosting cultural events in the Scottish Parliament, at the heart of Scottish democracy, serves as a powerful reminder that: Culture Matters.”
“It matters to Our Communities—by celebrating religious freedoms and cultural expression, strengthening community bonds, and promoting cooperation and unity within our diverse society.”
“It matters for Cross-Cultural understanding—encouraging us to engage with each other’s faiths, cultural practices, and customs, helping combat prejudice and fostering a more tolerant society.”
Notice the wording here......
The Edinburgh Hindu Mandir & Cultural Centre is established for the advancement of religion, culture and arts and specifically:
The Edinburgh Hindu Mandir & Cultural Center is committed to promoting an equal opportunities policy that will reflect good practice by actively discouraging discriminatory behaviour on the grounds of race, religion, color, nationality, age, gender, marital status or disability.
Edinburgh Hindu Mandir recognize that Scotland is a multicultural society and believes that cultural diversity positively enriches our society. This belief is reflected in the commitment of the Hindu Mandir and culture to promoting and encouraging wider access to Indian arts and cultural activities within Scotland.
Specifically two statements.....
“Hosting cultural events in the Scottish Parliament, at the heart of Scottish democracy, serves as a powerful reminder that: Culture Matters.”
“It matters to Our Communities—by celebrating religious freedoms and cultural expression, strengthening community bonds, and promoting cooperation and unity within our diverse society.”
"Edinburgh Hindu Mandir recognize that Scotland is a multicultural society and believes that cultural diversity positively enriches our society."
Since when is Scotland a multicultural society?
Edinburgh is supposed to be Scotland's capital city and a shop window for Scotland's traditions, history, culture and heritage - so a week given over to a religious festival celebrating the Hindu religious traditions of the Indian sub-continent is hardly that.
Scotland has already seen Muslim Asian/Pakistani immigrants being elected as MP's or MSP's ; think Anas Sarwar leader of Scottish Labour or former useless First Minister Humza Yousaf for the SNP. And there have been others.
Exactly when and by whom were the Scottish people asked whether they wanted Scotland to become a multi-racial, multicultural country?

Meanwhile in recent weeks.....
Human Trafficking in Scotland?
What is going on? News media reports of Police Scotland raids on premises in Dundee and Paisley involved in human trafficking.
Brothels in Paisley and Dundee where young women have been 'imported' from south-east Asia to work as prostitutes and sex slaves in Scotland. And that is the news that has been allowed to be reported, some sources suggest that this is an even bigger problem in Scotland.
Meanwhile 'Operation Branchform' - the investigation into the financial 'irregularities' in the SNP continues to drag on.
There are reports leaking out that investigators from Police Scotland are becoming increasingly frustrated by the slow pace of the investigation.
**** Alex Salmond Dies - So What Will Happen to the Alba Party?
As this blog goes out - the news comes through of the death of the career Scottish politician and independence obsessed campaigner Alex Salmond.
His legal battles with the Scottish government and with the party hierarchy of the SNP, resulting from his court cases and failed prosecutions around allegations of sexual misconduct were still going through the legal system.
Plus there was still plenty of animosity between Alex Salmond and the leadership of the SNP, both past and present, especially Nicola Sturgeon.
His recent political party the Alba Party has now lost its most experienced and high profile politician. So what now for the Alba Party?

GLASGOW - George Square 'Pro-United Kingdom' and Anti-immigration rally - Saturday 7th September. So what went on?
That was almost a couple of weeks ago now, the dust has settled and plenty of video footage from the day is now in public circulation. Glasgow Live even provided a running commentary together with images and video footage.
Prior to the day there was no shortage of mouthing off from Left-wing 'spokespersons' their justification for trying to block the pro-UK rally....
"Talat Ahmed, SUTR Scotland convenor said: "Our rally is about celebrating and defending multiculturalism and diversity and saying loud and clear that refugees are welcome here and aren't to blame for the problems in society. And that the far right, with their toxic politics of hate and division, are not welcome in Scotland."
Linda Somerville, STUC Deputy General Secretary, said: “We have long warned that the far-right poses a dangerous threat in the UK, spreading racist hate amongst communities that are often marginalised and under-resourced. The cruel impacts of austerity, compounded by the drip feed of anti-migrant rhetoric from parts of the media and some politicians have created these conditions.
"Trade unions have a long history of defending our communities against fascists and racists and will proudly join the rally in Glasgow to show racists that they have no place here.”
On the day there was no shortage of wild, slogan shouting from the assembled forces of the militant Left, plenty of speeches filled with wild exaggerations and the usual sessions of infantile chanting by Left wing activists.
There were activists from assorted Marxist organisations, activists from a range of well funded anti-racism and self-styled anti-fascist organisations, mainstream politicians from the SNP, Labour Party and Scottish Greens, Trade Unions, and plenty of social justice activists standing up for Gaza, LGBT rights, pro-asylum-seeker, pro-immigration and all shouting abuse at the loyal, Unionist White British Scots assembled to oppose immigration and support the Union. !
One prominent left wing/anti-sectarian academic from Glasgow University got so carried away in her ranting speech that she was later reported to Police Scotland for 'Hate' speech.
Meanwhile the Scottish mainstream media reported on the day......
Glasgow City Council leader Susan Aitken told BBC News neither Scotland nor Glasgow were "immune to the far right".
She added: "The turnout of people who are here to resist them and more importantly come with a really positive message about diversity and unity in a city like Glasgow - which is Scotland's most diverse city - is a far bigger number."
Glasgow Live reported on the events of the day and it was clear from their wording where their reporters stood politically:
Hundreds of people descended on Glasgow’s George Square in an anti-racism counter protest amid ‘pro-UK’ demonstrators gathering today.
The September 7 event hit headlines last month when extremist Tommy Robinson promoted it as a ‘pro-UK’ rally, following outbreaks of violence in England, in the wake of the murder of three schoolgirls in Southport, on July 29.
The Daily Record reports several hundred anti-immigration protesters gathering in the city centre today from noon, with hundreds more turning out to support Stand Up to Racism.
A large police presence separated both groups, and kettled a group of men dressed in black as well as a number of anti-racism protesters. Officers also attended on horseback and riot vans have been spotted at the scene.
As of 2pm, reports suggest that pro-UK protesters are beginning to disperse while Stand Up To Racism speakers continue to address the crowds, including Patrick Harvie, co-leader of the Scottish Greens.
Speaking ahead of today’s events, Harvie said: "There should be no place in Glasgow or Scotland for the toxic mix of fear, hate and division that the far right promotes. The violence and criminality we saw from them across the rest of the UK last month was shameful and must never be allowed to take root here.
"Glasgow’s a multicultural city with a long, proud history of standing up against the far right. We saw it when the English Defence League tried to stir up hate, we saw it when residents stood up to the Home Office at Kenmure Street, and we’re seeing it again here today.
The reference to "men dressed in black" is a watered down account of the arrival of a masked and militant mob of Celtic FC - 'Ultras' and the 'Green Brigade', plus a few additional thugs from AntiFa.
The reference to Kenmure Street was the near riot situation a couple of years ago when in broad day light a large leftist mob together with a large 'ethnic minority' crowd prevented the arrest and detention of two illegal immigrants.
The Home Office team and officers from Police Scotland gave in to the mob pressure and released the two illegal immigrants back into the community and the Left hailed this as a victory. BM Scotland reported on this at the time.
And the speakers at the 'anti-racism' rally should at least get their facts straight - the EDL (English Defence League) folded as an organisation almost ten years ago.
THE REALITY OF SCOTTISH HERITAGE
This is all the 'Diversity' that Scotland needs..
Meanwhile in the same week as the Gorge square rallies:
September 2024
WHAT WAS HAPPENING ON THE DUMBARTON ROAD IN GLASGOW?
Traffic blocked, fireworks going off in the middle of the street, Syrian flags being waved by some drivers, swords being waved about by some drivers and lots of singing and chanting in Arabic!
No mass turnout by Police Scotland even though there is a large operational police station just down the road from where this was happening!
So what was going on?
More 'Diversity' and 'Cultural Enrichment' ?
SCOTLAND NEEDS A RADICAL CHANGE - SUPPORT BNSM SCOTLAND
SUPPORT BRITISH MOVEMENT
THE SNP CONTINUES TO STRUGGLE - Scotland Needs a Radical Political Alternative to the SNP, to the rotating dictatorship of Conservative and Labour Parties, to the Liberal Democrats, to the Scottish Greens and assorted parties of the Left - it needs British National Socialism!
SNP membership is in steady decline, and over the past year the SNP has lost over 10,000 members and since 2019, SNP total membership has halved.
That is a massive decline in support, plus voter support for the SNP has crashed.
Even the SNP leadership are starting to admit what is happening, and a recent statement by the former MP for Glasgow South, Stewart McDonald, " I don't think it is possible to overstate the scale of the challenge we are facing as a party."
Scottish voters look at what years of SNP politics at Holyrood has done (or failed to do) for Scotland. Plus the scandals within the SNP; the Police Scotland investigation into SNP finances continues, the arrest of Peter Murrell, former SNP chief executive, the resignation of Nicola Sturgeon, who is still under investigation, the failures of Humza Yousaf, the £11,000 ipad bill for former SNP health secretary Michael Matheson. None of it looks good.
And the ferries scandal, the state of Scottish education, the state of NHS Scotland and the Scottish economy is in crisis as is the Holyrood budget.
SCOTLAND NEEDS A RADICAL POLITICAL CHANGE.
Grangemouth and Falkirk Refineries - Remember what BM Scotland said a couple of months ago?
Now it is being confirmed by both the Scottish government and the Westminster government
At least 400 jobs will be lost possibly more, all sacrificed on the altar of Net-Zero.
This is what the mainstream media have had to say:
"END OF THE LINE
Scotland’s only oil refinery Grangemouth to CLOSE with 400 jobs axed as governments ‘failed to step up to the plate’
SCOTLAND’s only oil refinery will close after months of desperate attempts to try to save it - with 400 jobs set to go at the plant.
The Petroineos plant at Grangemouth, Falkirk, will stop operations next year, the parent company announced today, ending hopes it could continue following government efforts to secure its future.
It follows UK and Scottish ministers spending £1million to fund a study into how to keep it open.
Energy Secretary Ed Miliband previously said the UK Government would "leave no stone unturned" to ensure a future for Grangemouth.
But Petroineos said today the oil refinery will become a “finished fuels import terminal” by mid-2025.
Both governments also announced today an extra £20million would be funnelled into the area - alongside £80million previously committed in March - to help boost jobs in the region.
£10million will come from the Scottish Government’s “Greener Grangemouth” programme, while another £10million will help pay for local energy projects with UK Government cash.
And it follows UK and Scottish ministers spending £1.5million to fund a study into how to keep it open.
The Grangemouth complex is Scotland’s biggest industrial site and employs over 2,000 people across oil and petrochemicals work.
It produces 80 per cent of Scotland's fuel, makes up four per cent of our GDP and eight per cent of manufacturing."
And yet more hand-wringing by the media.....
