BM Scotland asks - Will the General Election Shatter the SNP? Plus other news on Scottish politics.

  Will the General Election Shatter the SNP?

The General Election for the UK has been called for July 4th 2024 and this is the opportunity at least to clear out the SNP from the House of Commons.

Most political pundits agree that the forecasts do not look good for the SNP based on its serious failings in regard to NHS Scotland, the ferry scandal, the state of Scottish education, drug deaths, and the state of Scotland's economy.

Plus the shambolic SNP governance : - the failings of each SNP First minister; Alex Salmond, Nicola Sturgeon, Humza Yousaf.  And we don't want to see them replaced by Anas Sarwar and Scottish Labour.

Don't Forget That Police Scotland are still pursuing 'Operation Broadform' in regard to financial 'irregularities' in the SNP funds and have pushed ahead this week with papers to the Procurator Fiscal and related agencies in regard to the potential prosecution of at least one former senior SNP official.

When it comes to the election remember and remind Scottish voters that the SNP also means dodgy headlines about gender identity, male rapists in women's prisons, police searches and arrests of SNP officials, and purchases of luxury motorhomes from SNP campaign funds.

Dodgy population statistics for Scotland.

Can the figures for the 2022 Scottish census be trusted?

The population report of the 2022 census for Scotland has recently been published.

Part of the report states that the population of Scotland is now more 'ethnically diverse' than it has ever been, claiming that 13% of the Scottish population are now from a "minority ethnic background". This is broken down in part as 1.3 % Pakistani, 1.0 % Indian, 1.0% African but undermines this by stating it includes 1% Irish !   Why have the census technocrats classed the White Irish as an 'ethnic minority' in a majority White Scotland?

Thankfully unlike parts of England and parts of Wales, the population of Scotland remains overwhelmingly White European. Although the figures do show a worrying upward trend for the settlement of non-whites in Scotland.

Scotland must not fall into the trap of the Great Replacement.

The Horizon Post Office Scandal

Scottish victims of persecution, malicious prosecution and false accusations of dishonesty are being left in the lurch. The Scottish government is letting Scottish sub-post office victims of the Horizon scandal down.

England and Wales are now covered by the new legislation the Post Office (Horizon system) offences bill, which has been pushed through into law before parliament switches to campaigning for the General Election.

While victims in England and Wales are going to benefit from having convictions quashed and financial compensation awarded, those in Scotland must wait for a Scottish version of the bill to be passed and anyone who failed to get their convictions over-turned at the court of appeal will not be covered and will lose out on everything.

The new legislation for England and Wales covers all Horizon linked prosecutions by the Post Office and the Crown Prosecution Service between September 1996 and 31st December 2018.

Scottish law needs to catch up fast - What is Holyrood playing at?

BM Scotland: 'Humza Useless' has resigned and the SNP continues in its Decline

'Humza Useless' has resigned and the SNP continues in its decline.

Humza yousaf's final speech at Holyrood was, as expected a race-baiting, "I am the victim of racism" rant, ignoring his lack of ability as First Minister of Scotland, his obvious grand-standing overseas, and his well earned nick-name of 'Humza Useless.' 

Humza Yousaf did of course lay the blame for hostility to his leadership of the SNP and the Scottish government at the door of "the Far-Right, racists and bigots", and actually thanked the MSP's of the Scottish parliament for giving him the chance to become an SNP MSP and thus to "defy the far-Right bigots and racists" who had told him to 'Go Home' (meaning Pakistan) all through his life. Remarkably Yousaf went on to say that " I have no other home than this one. I never will. I never have. My heart will forever belong to Scotland."

Seriously?  What a change of tone to his 'White - White -  White" rant when he was promoted to SNP Justice minister.

Yousaf's posturing at political events in Egypt, his desperation for photo-opportunities with diplomats and ministers from the Arab world, and of course a photo-op with the Turkish President Erdogan.

Yousaf's final speech included the compulsory mention of Gaza, and perhaps when a new First Minister is firmly in office there can be an open and transparent investigation into how much the SNP government donated to pro-Palestine/pro-Gaza causes, and how much money from the Scottish tax-payer was shunted by Humza Yousaf into charities and civil society organisations involved in the Gaza situation.

Good Riddance to Humza Yousaf.

And now the SNP imposes John Swinney on Scotland as leader of the SNP and First Minister of Scotland.

John Swinney is the selected choice of the SNP, not the elected leader of the Scottish parliament voted into office by the Scottish electorate. John Swinney was elected to post by 64 MSP's from the SNP at Holyrood but his former allies in the Scottish Greens abstained.

The Ferry Scandal Drags On.

Something that this BM Scotland site has referenced before and continues to demonstrate the financial mismanagement of the SNP government, plus the incompetence of contracting by the last two SNP First Ministers.

Bowing to the influence of the Scottish Greens, the ferry design requirements set out by the SNP government for the two ferries has added to the delays and to impossible targets to fill. The ships are not finished and are five years behind schedule with no indication when work will be completed. Add to that there are no fuel storage facilities in the West coast ferry ports for the specialist 'low-carbon' fuel required for the new ships. The 'low-carbon fuel has to be imported by sea to a port in England and then transported over 200 miles by road in tankers to the ferry ports on the Ayrshire coast. So much for a low carbon impact.

Millions of pounds of Scottish tax-payer's money over budget and no nearer to completion.

Yet another triumph for the SNP government.
