BM Scotland FALKIRK again!

 BM Scotland

FALKIRK AGAIN!


FALKIRK was back in the news again because of migrants and so-called 'asylum seekers' and alleged 'refugees' being housed in the Cladhan Hotel.

"Hundreds of protesters outside Falkirk hotel housing migrants to protest 'lack of transparency' around un-vetted migrants to 'save our children'

Falkirk locals are reported to be fed up with the 'lack of transparency' around asylum seekers claiming 'concerns' about public safety have been ignored."

16 AUG 2025.

"Road closed in Falkirk town centre as protests grow outside asylum seeker hotel"

"Police were forced to close a busy road in the heart of Falkirk today as two groups held rallies outside a former hotel housing asylum seekers.

A local group Save Our Future & Our Kids Future had announced a protest on “uncontrolled immigration” outside the former Cladhan Hotel in Kemper Avenue to begin at midday.

However, as the numbers grew, they were forced to close close off the road at Arnott Street and further along Kemper Avenue as people spilled on to the carriageway.

Stand up to Racism, Falkirk Trades Union Council and local residents then announced they would hold a counter protest beginning an hour earlier.

The building is being used by the Home Office and its contractor Mears to house asylum seekers until they can be processed.

Local feelings have been running high after one of the former residents, Sadeq Nikzad, was jailed for nine years in June after he was found guilty of the rape of a 15-year-old girl in Falkirk town centre in October 2023."

This in the Daily Record:

"Scots asylum seeker hotel anti-racism counter-protest as police separate demonstrators"

"Stand Up to Racism Scotland, Falkirk Trades Union Council and residents said they organised the demonstration on Saturday to show that refugees are welcome in the town.

It comes after the group Save Our Future & Our Kids Futures announced plans to hold a protest outside the hotel known as the Cladhan.

Protesters, some waving Union flags, chanted “send them home” and anti-racism demonstrators responded with chants of “refugees are welcome here” and “this is what community looks like”.

Stand Up to Racism Scotland organisers said: “We are organising a peaceful counter-protest to stand in solidarity with refugees and to say that they are welcome.”

Demonstrators held placards with messages such as “stop the far right”, “refugees welcome” and “migrants make our NHS”.

On the opposite side of the road protesters held signs with messages such as “go home”, “enough is enough” and “we want our country back”.

Just look at what the cultural Marxists are saying and 'mobilising', and Falkirk Trades Union Council should be listening to local workers not acting against their wishes and concerns.

Some one needs to remind these leftists about what happened in Falkirk in 2023, this was not the 'cultural enrichment' from an immigrant...

"one of the former residents, Sadeq Nikzad, was jailed for nine years in June after he was found guilty of the rape of a 15-year-old girl in Falkirk town centre in October 2023."


SUTR Scotland.

Falkirk – we all belong in Falkirk, refugees welcome – peaceful counter protest, 11am

Cladhan Hotel Falkirk FK1 1UF

Support Falkirk TUC, Stand Up to Racism and a coalition of local residents standing in solidarity with refugees as hotel becomes target of protests. Refugees are welcome. No to racism in Falkirk.


So once again the radical Left are trying to dictate and dominate local politics in Falkirk by bussing in their activists and 'rent a mob' SUTR from across central Scotland.

Notice they try to claim that they are " a coalition of local residents standing in solidarity with refugees", when in reality the bulk of those protesting against migrants in hotels are local people, local Scots from Falkirk. Local Falkirk folk who were never asked about 'migrants' and 'refugees' being housed in their neighbourhoods and are not being listened to by SNP, Labour, Scottish Greens or Lib Dems when they have genuine fears and concerns.

TIME TO STOP IMMIGRATION AND TO START REMIGRATION AND REPATRIATION!

British Movement SCOTLAND Asks; What Is Happening to Edinburgh University ?

 British Movement SCOTLAND Asks; What Is Happening to Edinburgh University ?

Edinburgh University is one of the oldest universities in Britain and was founded over 400 years ago, so is a very important institution in British education.


There seems to be a clear ideological move towards cultural Marxism and progressive liberalism at Edinburgh University. As one of the oldest academic institutions in the United Kingdom it is a sad reflection on this ideological and politically motivated shift towards a regime dominated by 'White Guilt'.

The university has been a centre of learning for centuries with a reputation for having dominated landmark periods of learning such as the Scottish Enlightenment of the 18th Century with great thinkers and writers such as David Hume, Ferguson, Carlyle and many early 19th Century scientists.

But now such great minds are condemned as being the motivators behind 'white supremacy', British imperialism, colonial expansion and of course from profiting from the slave trade and overseas plantations and slave labour.

This new review at Edinburgh, “Decolonised Transformations: Confronting the University of Edinburgh’s History and Legacies of Enslavement and Colonisation” is an academic attempt to purge the university of its heritage and history and to re-set Edinburgh University as a beason of progressive liberal and cultural Marxist thinking.

Fiona McClement, co-leader of the Race Review response group, added: "Our aspiration is to be an anti-racist organisation. "We want to ensure that are a welcoming and nurturing environment in which all members of our community feel a sense of belonging, and can flourish and succeed without facing unjust racialised barriers."

So they want Edinburgh University to be ~'an anti-racist organisation'.
What happened to it being the one of the oldest centres of learning in the UK with a focus on academic excellence?

And its not just Edinburgh University - check out the others keen to be seen as 'social justice warriors' for 'de-colonisation' and 'Diversity, Inclusion and Equality' champions.

Glasgow University and Dundee University are experiencing the 'Woke' hand-wringing and soul searching over possible historical funding of buildings in the 18th and 19th Century from possible links to trans-Atlantic slavery.

Plus this gem of liberal progressive social-justice : 

More recently, the University of Aberdeen repatriated a murdered Aboriginal man's remains, thought to have been obtained during a colonial conquest in Tasmania.

It is believed the young man was decapitated in the 1820s or 1830s - a time in Australia's history when colonisers used bounties to fuel a trade in tribes people's body parts."

It is fascinating that if archaeologists and historians un earth some Pictish or ancient Roman remains these universities have no problem studying them or putting them on display.

FORGET DIVERSITY AND EQUALITY - JUST FOCUS ON QUALITY!

Anti-Immigration Protests Are Happening in Scotland Too!

 Anti-Immigration Protests Are Happening in Scotland Too!


Not just in England and Wales

The Ordinary Folk Across Scotland Have Had Enough Too!

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

Aberdeen and Peterhead

The Peterhead protest was not just anti-immigration and was more of a civic nationalist event rather than racial Nationalist or National Socialist.

But that did not stop the rabid Left and their fellow travellers from turning up to make all their usual noise and threats.

Who Are They Trying To Fool?


And it is not just Aberdeen and Peterhead

BM Scotland has covered Falkirk in several articles on this blog and this below is not the Falkirk that we know -

The Left-wing 'anti-racists' parading about in Falkirk choose to ignore crimes being committed by illegal immigrants who are being housed in Falkirk. Remember that the crimes they commit are against ordinary, native Scots. Ordinary Scots who were never asked, never consulted about having illegal immigrants housed in their neighbourhoods.

And of course - Glasgow

Given Glasgow City Council's track record on supporting migrants and supporting Left-wing agendas....

The political Left, not just the communists and radical Marxists, but the SNP, Labour party, Scottish Greens and Lib-Dems are all trying to con the people of Scotland that multiculturalism is good for Scotland and that 'diversity is a strength'.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

SCOTLAND DOES NOT NEED IMPORTED 'DIVERSITY'

WE HAVE OUR OWN UNIQUE DIVERSITY.

GLASGOW - Saturday July 26th 2025 - What these protests say about politics in Scotland.

 GLASGOW - Saturday July26th 2025 - What these protests say about politics in Scotland.

The extremist Left were flexing their muscle and took over the city centre, a warning for the future when things are not going their way.

All the usual slogans of the defenders of multiculturalism and multi-racialism.


The above image was put on-line by SUTR Scotland; note the slogans "Refugees Welcome"  <whether you want them or not!> and the leftist myth "Migrants make our NHS" - no! migrants use our NHS.

The Left are worried by the rising tide of public anger against illegal immigration, the cross Channel invasion and the imposing of 'asylum-seekers' on communities that don't want them taking over local hotels and bringing alien customs and un-British attitudes to our neighbourhoods.

This is how Glasgow Live reported the day, and just from the wording of this mainstream media account of the protests it is clear which side Glasgow Live are on.

GLASGOW LIVE

Hundreds in Glasgow city centre counter protest to UKIP ‘mass deportations’ march

Protestors gathered on Saturday afternoon (July 26) at Buchanan Street to oppose a rally organised by the UK Independence Party (UKIP), billed as a “mass deportation” march.

Hundreds of counter demonstrators gathered in Glasgow city centre to oppose a ‘mass deportation’ rally.

Protestors gathered on Saturday afternoon (July 26) at Buchanan Street to oppose a rally organised by the UK Independence Party (UKIP), billed as a “mass deportation” march. UKIP estimated 200 would attend the march through the city centre.

In a post announcing the march, UKIP said the demonstration would “send a message to Holyrood that we are taking our country back,” adding: “the people of Glasgow demand mass-deportations.”

UKIP has never had any elected representatives in Glasgow. It has not represented any Scottish seat at Westminster, and has never had a member elected to Holyrood.

At the general election in 2024, UKIP did not stand a single candidate in Glasgow. Councillor Dan Hutchison, elected representative of Govan, called on the council to ban the “fascist” march.

The Green Party councillor said: “I believe the actions and words of the organisers are an incitement to violence and a risk to public safety and order on our streets. UKIP use phrases like “these streets are our streets” and “we will protect ourselves”.

“Well, they aren’t their streets, they belong to the people of Glasgow. And we don’t want fascists calling for our friends and neighbours to be deported.”

The counter protest, attended by trade unionists, faith organisations, and other anti-racist and anti-fascists, was organised by Stand Up to Racism Scotland. Sharing a video of the demo to social media, they said: “Hundreds of anti-fascists and anti-racists from the trade unions, community and faith organisations have answered the call to say that fascists "shall not pass" in Glasgow.”

Notice that statement here: - " we don’t want fascists calling for our friends and neighbours to be deported.”  That obviously includes illegal immigrants who commit serious crimes here.
There was similar reporting in the Daily Record, so it is easy to see how 'impartial' these mainstream media journalists are to events like this.
Also the boast from SUTR "fascists shall not pass in Glasgow".

Daily Record

Hundreds gather in Glasgow city centre protest to UKIP ‘mass deportations’ march"

"Protestors gathered at Buchanan Street to oppose a rally organised by the UK Independence Party (UKIP), billed as a “mass deportation” march."

And from the Herald

"The march is planned for Montrose Street, Cochrane Street, George Square (South), St. Vincent Place, St. Vincent Street, up West Nile Street, round Nelson Mandela Place, and back into West George Street, George Square (North), George Street, High Street, Castle Street before ending at Glasgow Cathedral.

Stand Up to Racism has urged supporters to tell Ukip it is not welcome in Glasgow or Scotland.

On its social media, it states: “Tenconi is a fascist who is trying to radicalise what is left of UKIP, allowing fascist elements to dominate it and trying to build up a group of street thugs to intimidate ethnic minorities, trade unionists and the left. We won't let them!

It added: “As we have successfully done on several occasions recently, let's mobilise to show them a majority of us in Glasgow oppose them and that we say refugees and migrants make Glasgow.”

Notice the Herald telling the leftist the exact route for the UKIP march and repeats the untrue mantra of the multiculturalists "refugees and migrants make Glasgow."

The likes of SUTR ignore the crimes committed by illegal immigrants and tries to pretend that all those making the small boats crossings are "refugees".

The Left are ideologically blind to the crimes that migrants carry out, the likes of SUTR do not accept that these ate illegal immigrants and instead refer to these mostly male economic migrants as 'undocumented migrants' or arriving on our shores as part of 'irregular immigration'.

With the cultural Marxist Left it is always anything but the truth, and as part of the whole progressive, liberal way of thinking, the Greens and the SNP are no better.


The hysterical display by the assorted political Left in central Glasgow on Saturday is a good example as to how the Left will respond when BM Scotland steps up its game in the city centre at some point in the future. It is one thing for them to try to intimidate an organisation like UKIP, but British Movement is something very different.

BM Scotland: Taking a Look at Falkirk and the Housing of Migrants in Hotels in Scotland.

 BM Scotland: Taking a Look at Falkirk and the Housing of Migrants in Hotels in Scotland.

While all the mainstream media focus is on protests outside hotels full of 'asylum seekers' in England, it is worth noting that Scotland is not immune to the sly housing of migrants in local hotels without warning local people.


It is not just Afghans being settled in Scotland, remember a few years back when Nicola Sturgeon was First Minister, she made a big show of welcoming Syrians to settle in Scotland.

Last year the report below appeared in several Scottish news outlets.

A refugee charity has said hotels should never be used to house asylum seekers, warning it leaves vulnerable people isolated and at risk of being targeted by the far-right.

Hotels housing asylum seekers were subject to protests and violence this summer,(2024) as far-right protesters took to the streets for days of rioting. This was met with counter-protests by anti-racism groups and swift prosecutions through the courts.

Home Office figures show the number of asylum seekers housed in hotels has dropped 41% across the UK, from 50,500 in June 2023 to 29,600 at the same point in 2024.


It is not just the better known example of the hotel at Erskine which attracted protests about 18 months ago.


FALKIRK.

Recent anti-migrant protests in Falkirk this summer are just the tip of an iceberg

The Falkirk Herald has been reporting on the situation over the last couple of years

Last year the Herald note that:

"More asylum seekers were being housed in hotels in Falkirk this summer than a year earlier." 

The figures further show 79 asylum seekers were being housed in hotels in Falkirk in June (2024) – up from 33 a year earlier.

Imran Hussain, executive director of external affairs at the Refugee Council, said: "Despite some progress on reducing the use of hotels, there were still nearly 30,000 people seeking asylum living in hotels at the end of June.

"Hotels should never be used as accommodation, as people in asylum hotels are isolated, struggle with their mental health, and may be targeted by far-right attacks, as we saw a few weeks ago."

In total, 89 asylum seekers were receiving a form of government support in Falkirk as of June (2024). This was up from 33 in June 2023.

The national backlog of asylum applicants has remained steady since last quarter, even if it has dropped compared to a year earlier.

The figures come amid calls to allow asylum seekers to work while their applications are being processed.

The Lift the Ban coalition, made up of think tanks, faith groups and refugee organisations among others, described the policy as "regressive, hostile and self-defeating".

Tim Naor Hilton, chief executive of Refugee Action – and part of the coalition – said: "The new Government could improve people’s lives, increase community cohesion and give a huge boost to local economies by giving people seeking asylum the right to work."

The reports below are from last year and nothing has changed in Falkirk, in fact even more migrants have quietly been housed in the town.

"Campaigners want to move asylum seekers out of Falkirk hotels"

"An asylum seeker who has been living in the Cladhan Hotel for more than six months says it is “worse than prison” because no-one knows when they will finally be given proper accommodation.

Isaias, from Eritrea, spoke out as campaigners called for an end to the “damaging and inhumane use of hotels and other forms of institutional accommodation for asylum seekers across Scotland”.

Falkirk is now understood to house more than 100 asylum seekers, although this has not been officially confirmed.

Isaias was taken to the former hotel on Kemper Avenue along with 50 other asylum seekers from various countries last November – but massive delays to processing asylum claims mean that there is no end in sight.

 Isaias is seeking asylum in the UK but has now been waiting months in hotel accommodation

He and his fellow asylum seekers are given £8 a week, which means charities have to give them clothes and organise things like hair cuts.

All meals are provided by the hotel and the men have no kitchen facilities.

He said: “We have a bank card but you can’t take £8 out of the bank – you have to wait a week so you can take £10 out then another week until there is another £10.”

While they are not prevented from travelling, it is not just the lack of cash that stops them.

Isaias says they are unable to go anywhere in case they are suddenly called to leave as their claims is processed.

It is this uncertainty that he is finding so frustrating and leads to many asylum seekers suffering depression and anxiety.

“If you go to jail, you know you will be there for one year, two – however many. We don’t know how long we’ll be here. No-one can tell us anything,” he said.

Many of those in the hotel have fled political persecution in Eritrea – widely criticised as being one of the most repressive regimes in the world – but their claims for asylum have still not been heard after months in Belfast and now in Falkirk.

Falkirk Council’s chief executive and council leader both condemned the move when 50 asylum seekers were brought at very short notice to stay in the former hotel.

Six months on, most of the asylum seekers are still there and another 60 are understood to have been put in the Metro Falkirk Hotel at Beancross.

The Roof Coalition represents over a dozen housing, legal, community and human rights groups and organisations who want to see “safe and dignified housing for people seeking asylum”.

Launching their campaign, Savan Qadir, of Refugees for Justice, said: “ Despite all the evidence of harm, the Home Office and its private contractors continue to practise this inhumane and harmful practice in Scotland without consent from Scottish local authorities.

“We demand the Home Office and their private agent contractors to put an end to hotel detention and start treating asylum seekers and refugees as human beings, accommodating them in safe community-based housing where they belong.

“Despite all the promises from the Mears Group that they have made to reduce the use of hotel, what we see is the total opposite of these promises and Mears group keep putting more and more people in the hotels as we see Mears now putting people in other council areas all around Scotland including Falkirk, Perth, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, East Kilbride and soon other areas. Quite Frankly this is not what reducing use of hotels looks like as Mears Group is claiming.”

Councillor Cecil Meiklejohn, leader of Falkirk Council said: “We do not believe that hotel accommodation is appropriate for asylum seekers and will continue to work with the Home Office to ensure that they are moved on to more suitable accommodation as quickly as possible.

However, it must be recognised that there are delays in the system, which are outwith the local authority’s control. We will therefore continue to do our best to ensure that the asylum seekers are safe and well throughout their stay in the area.”

But the Mears Group – the private company looking after asylum seekers for the Home Office – say it is doing “all in its power to end hotel use”.

A spokesperson for the Mears Group said: “Due to the rise in the number of people in the UK asylum system, and the need for the Home Office to secure accommodation for those people just arrived into the UK, Mears is currently providing additional contingency accommodation in hotels in Falkirk as well as Aberdeen, East Kilbride, Edinburgh and Perth. This is in common with the approach across the UK where hotels are currently needed as a contingency.

“Supporting the welfare of service users is of the utmost importance to Mears. We have been working closely and positively with local authorities and with other partners, including health and welfare teams and NGOs to provide support. There are on-site Resident Welfare Managers at hotels to assist with any issues. Service users are provided with their own room, all meals and snacks, access to health and welfare support, and other provisions, including social and leisure activities.

“The use of hotels is a contingency measure to meet the current need for suitable accommodation. Mears will continue to do all in its power to end hotel use. To do this we’re working closely with local authorities to source suitable new accommodation and ensure that our service users are found a home in the community.”

NOTHING HAS CHANGED OVER THE LAST TWELVE MONTHS!

Note all the different towns and cities in Scotland that are listed in addition to Falkirk, and that does not include earlier locations over the past couple of years including hotels in central Glasgow.

 

Coming to a hotel somewhere near you - anytime soon.

BM SCOTLAND: Fighting Against the Tyranny of 'Woke' Politics.

 

British Movement SCOTLAND:

Fighting Against the Tyranny of 'Woke' Politics.


THE ''HATE CRIME' OBSESSION OF THE WOKE PROGRESSIVES HAS GONE TOO FAR.

*** This article from the Mail on Sunday.


Remember it was the SNP government at Holyrood which brought in the 'hate' crime laws to Scotland. Nicola Sturgeon and Humza Yousaf have a lot to answer for, and now this 'woke' nonsense has spread down to England.  Another attack on Scottish history and heritage by the cultural Marxists and the 'woke'.

How far has Britain gone down the slippery slope of oppression when a traditional, patriotic song can be held to be a 'Hate crime' if it is sung in a different part of the United Kingdom?
It is already a fact that the SNP government has had Ibrox stadium in its sights for a few years to clamp down on Rangers fans for singing 'politically incorrect' songs. How long before Police Scotland carry out mass arrests of Rangers fans at an Old Firm game for 'hate crimes'?

**** Good to hear that Humza Yousaf is possibly facing some heavy duty legal action from Elon Musk.


Way Back In Time

This was not a speech made at a BM Scotland meeting in 2025 but a speech made in Scotland in July 1937.

".. soon the first stage of the fight for National Socialism in Scotland will be won and the people will turn to the revolutionary creed, the only creed which will offer them release from the twin evils of 'Red violence' and financial democracy."

Extract from a report in The Blackshirt newspaper - July 1937.

This statement still applies today. Times have changed but the tactics of our political and racial opponents stays the same.


It is hard to believe today, but 90 years ago the BUF were campaigning across Scotland, to bring National Socialism to the Scottish nation.

BM SCOTLAND. Forward into Summer 2025 - The Resistance to Multiculturalism is Growing in Scotland - ALBA DUISG!

 BM SCOTLAND: Forward into Summer 2025 - The Resistance to Multiculturalism is Growing in Scotland - ALBA DUISG!

There is growing evidence that the people of Scotland, particularly working class folk living in the cities and towns of the Central Belt, do not want Scotland to become as 'diverse' and 'multicultural' as parts of England and Wales.

Letters to mainstream newspapers and comments columns on social media sites all point to a slow but steady awakening of Scots to reject the idea of a multi-racial future for Scotland.

Settling 'asylum seekers' and illegal immigrants in Scottish hotels has already created problems over the past couple of years, and more than ever, scots want none of it.

British Movement Scotland is keen to build on this sense of race and nation and will work hard to make sure that true Scots recognise and understand the Fourteen Words.


Back in March of this tear BM Scotland reported on the reality of grooming/rape gangs operating in Scotland, and that it was not just an imported problem affecting England and Wales.

This was the word in some newspapers back in January of this year

The Scottish edition of The Sun.
GRIM WARNING: "

Grooming gangs are operating in every town and city in Scotland, expert warns".  

'Those who deny the existence of rings in Scotland are wrong'
"This week (January 2025) members of a Romanian grooming gang were convicted of raping and sexually abusing 10 women, and forcing one into prostitution, in Dundee.".

And in 2016, police smashed a huge 55-strong asylum seeker grooming gang operating in Glasgow with at least 44 victims.

One girl was abused by 28 men — but the investigation was kept under wraps by police who say they “carefully consider” what information they release to “protect vulnerable victims and the integrity of the inquiry”.

*** Note that it was the rape of local girls by Romanian Roma migrants that triggered the recent riots on the streets of Ballymena in Ulster.

Even the Scottish Labour Party are questioning the SNP government's response to the Westminster government's proposals for a national inquiry that might not include Scotland. That would fall to SNP ministers at Holyrood.

“To exclude Scotland risks creating a two-tier system of justice,” he warned. “Victims of grooming gangs in Scotland must not and cannot be overlooked.”

He said there was “clear evidence that victims have been trafficked into Scotland as part of organised exploitation networks”.

Yet it is apparent that some media outlets in Scotland shy away from any stories that involve crimes committed by ethnic minority individuals.

Why are certain crimes not being reported in Scotland's mainstream news media?

SCOTLAND DOES NOT NEED MULTICULTURALISM AND 'DIVERSITY'.


Does Anyone Think That The Scottish Greens Would Get This?

BM Scotland: The New Scots Housing Fair in Greenock on June 11th - Is this more evidence of the Great Replacement in Scotland?

 BM Scotland: The New Scots Housing Fair in Greenock on June 11th - Is this more evidence of the Great Replacement in Scotland?


What is going on in Greenock?
As if there is not a housing shortage in Inverclyde - this event prioritises what the SNP and assorted leftist allies insist on calling 'New Scots'!

New Scots Housing Fair to support refugee integration in Greenock

This is how the mainstream news media and the Scottish Refugee Council are putting a positive spin on this highly selective event.

A HOUSING fair for refugees and asylum seekers is set to take place in Greenock.
The New Scots Housing Fair, hosted by the Scottish Refugee Council, will be held on June 11 at Lyle Gateway Church.
"It will bring together housing providers, support organisations, and community members, with the aim of improving access to information and services for New Scots, and fostering community integration.
The event will feature stalls from various associations, authorities, and support groups, with interpreters provided.
Emily Edwards, housing development officer at the Scottish Refugee Council, said: "Safe and secure housing is the foundation for rebuilding lives.
"We are delighted to bring the New Scots Housing Fair to Greenock, where communities are working together to create a welcoming environment for those starting new lives in Scotland."

River Clyde Homes, a local housing provider, also expressed support for the initiative.
A spokesperson said: "We have attended Scottish Refugee Council’s previous events and enjoyed meeting with New Scots in person to chat about their housing needs.
"A few have gone on to settle in Inverclyde.
"We are excited at the upcoming New Scots Housing Fair taking place in Inverclyde for the first time."

The free event will run from 11am to 1pm. 

Notice that this is a FREE EVENT - who is providing all the funding?

And yet more of this positive spin....

Scottish Refugee Council is to host the New Scots Housing Fair in Greenock next week.
Bringing together housing providers, support organisations, and members of the refugee and asylum-seeking community in Inverclyde, the fair aims to improve access to housing information and services for New Scots – refugees, asylum seekers, and those with humanitarian protection – while promoting community integration and collaboration among local stakeholders.

River Clyde Homes, a key local housing provider, also welcomed the initiative. “We have attended Scottish Refugee Council’s previous events and enjoyed meeting with New Scots in person to chat about their housing needs,” a spokesperson said.
“A few have gone on to settle in Inverclyde. We are excited at the upcoming New Scots Housing Fair taking place in Inverclyde for the first time. It is a great opportunity to showcase all that Inverclyde has to offer as a great place to live, work and play.’
Inverclyde has played a key role in welcoming people displaced by conflict and crises, including those from Syria, Afghanistan, and Ukraine. The Housing Fair provides an opportunity for residents and professionals to share knowledge, build connections, and ensure everyone has access to the support they need.
Housing associations and service providers are warmly encouraged to register for a stall at the event to showcase their services, share information, and connect directly with individuals seeking housing support. "

Amazing how these organisations can find the time, money, resources and enthusiasm for such projects but not a squeak from them about all those indigenous Scots who are waiting on housing lists for months and perhaps years on end.
Notice that this social engineering propaganda also casually lumps in Ukrainian refugees in with Syrians and Afghans. No doubt a lot of other 'global majority' Third World economic migrants will be attending too.
BM Scotland has no problem with the Ukrainian refugees, who are White European genuine refugees from an on-going war zone, the majority of who will be women and children. Not like the majority of the small boat crossing migrants and 'asylum-seekers' shipped up from the south coast of England, who are mostly young adult men. 

And there are plenty of 'do-gooders' keen to help these 'New Scots' settle and colonise Scotland.

New Scots | REFUGEE COMMUNITY
CONNECTING NEW SCOTS
Since 2017 our New Scots project has welcomed families and individuals from multicultural backgrounds as they navigate their new home. It can be daunting arriving in a new place and starting over. 
We host a space every Friday, 11am – 1pm in 51 Hamilton Way, Greenock PA15 1RQ. The drop in is an informal, friendly relaxed space where friendships are formed, and experiences are shared. We have also utilised this space to invite many organisations to meet with Inverclyde's New Scots, many of which have now connected with a variety of organisations & services.

The Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse by-election result.

What does it say about domestic politics in Scotland?

Labour won the seat from the SNP but what does that say about the voters in that constituency?

They actually voted in on of Anas Sarwar's colleagues, another Labour Party figure who thinks that Sir Keir Starmer is an effective national Labour Party leader and Prime Minister!

British Movement Scotland does not support the Conservative Party or Reform UK but this by-election campaign revealed a lot of what is wrong in British and Scottish politics.

The Reform UK ads and election material attacking Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar was a step in the right direction and certainly wound up the political Left, with whining voices from both the SNP and Labour Party condemning the criticism of Anas Sarwar.

Give us strength!  Anas Sarwar actually issued a press statement saying that; "What the vast majority of people in Scotland see is someone who is one of their own, is a Scot and is working hard to change the country."

Seriously!  Anas Sarwar actually believes that the majority of Scots see him as "someone who is one of their own, is a Scot"?

Does this look like someone who is 'one of our own, is a Scot' ?

And one left-wing journalist went so far as to say that the Reform UK criticism of Anas Sarwar was "a toxic, racist and dis-honest dog-whistle".

Which pretty much ignores Anas Sarwar's speech earlier this year, previously covered on the BM Scotland blog, the speech which the Reform UK advert was referencing.

This kind of political manipulation is how the cultural Marxists, communists and the globalists introduce the Great Replacement by stealth.

This kind of rhetoric manipulates the truth and ignores our history and heritage, by calling migrants and asylum-seekers 'New Scots' is part of the Great Replacement because now anyone from any part of the world can become a 'Scot'.

 British Movement SCOTLAND

The 'Anti-Far Right' Summit in Glasgow and the SNP Defence of Anas Sarwar- Does it Truly Reflect Scotland?

This is the image used in The Herald to illustrate First Minister John Swinney's 'anti-Far-Right' summit that was held in Glasgow on April 23rd.

"Swinney hosts summit to combat 'threat from the far right' "
Key organisations and leaders from across Scotland including churches, trade unions, charities and political parties are due to attend.
John Swinney announced back in February that he would convene a gathering to unite Scotland against the “increasingly extreme far right”. 
According to Swinney, the summit will “draw a line in the sand” and “bring Scotland together in common cause”.
The topics up for discussion will include the “threat from the far right” as well as democracy and respect across Scotland.
The First Minister also said the gathering is an opportunity for Scotland to unite behind the common principle “that far right and racist hatred” should have no place in Scotland.

He said it’s a chance for Scotland to discuss its shared values and work towards a “cohesive society where everyone feels at home”.
“The threat from the far right is real. But that leaves me all the more convinced that working together is not only the right choice, but the only choice,” Swinney said when he announced the summit.
“That is why I want to share a new initiative to bring Scotland together in common cause. I want us to work together to agree a common approach to asserting the values of our country, to bringing people together and creating a cohesive society where everyone feels at home.”

The Cultural Marxist credentials of the SNP in full display.

As one Scottish mainstream media outlet questioned John Swinney's determination to stage this so-called summit.

"The First Minister’s decision to hold an “anti-far right” summit has hit the headlines in recent days – but what exactly is it and why does the meeting matter?
John Swinney announced back in February that he would convene a gathering to unite Scotland against the “increasingly extreme far right”. 
In recent days, politicians and organisations have spoken out about the meeting – with criticisms levelled at the First Minister by those across the political spectrum.
Wednesday will see Swinney’s summit finally begin, with key organisations and leaders from across Scotland – including churches, trade unions, charities and leaders of Scotland’s parliamentary parties – due to attend.
According to Swinney, the summit will “draw a line in the sand” and “bring Scotland together in common cause”.
The topics up for discussion will include the “threat from the far right” as well as democracy and respect across Scotland."

And its not just the SNP getting agitated about the possibility of real Nationalism in Scotland.

"The summit guest list includes church and religious leaders, trade unions, charities and leaders of Scotland’s political parties.
The Scottish Trades Union Congress (STUC) will be among those in attendance. Ahead of the meeting, STUC general secretary Roz Foyer said the summit “must not just be a business-as-usual gathering”.
“The far right are feeding like vultures off the alienation and desperation many feel within our communities. Legitimate fears and concerns on the economic precarity and insecurity many working class people feel are being twisted into false and hateful narratives that must be countered,” Foyer said.
“Now is the time for action. Fighting the far right is a central theme of our upcoming congress in Dundee next week. This summit therefore from the First Minister cannot be a talking shop. We trust it won’t be.”

"Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar said he will attend, but levelled harsh criticisms at both Swinney and his SNP Government in his public RSVP.
“Those that helped fan the flames of divisive politics – a failing SNP government – cannot pretend to be the ones to lead the fight against it,” Sarwar said.
Criticising the SNP’s management of NHS and public services, Sarwar accused the government of acting as a “recruiting sergeant” for fringe parties such as Reform."

The summit will kick off at 10am on Wednesday April 23 at the Merchants House of Glasgow.

Why are the SNP leadership so keen to defend Anas Sarwar after his statement about the SNP ?

Why Then the Position Taken by the First Minister and other senior SNP figures against the Reform UK election video which was attacking the Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar?

"SNP complain about Reform's 'race-baiting' advert on Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar"

The Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse by-election, suddenly it is all about Anas Sarwar and the Reform UK video criticising the Scottish Labour Party leader. 

"The SNP have made a formal complaint over Reform UK’s “race baiting” by-election advert about Anas Sarwar.
Chief executive Carol Beattie urged Meta to pull down a controversial video which claims the Scottish Labour leader will prioritise Pakistani communities.
Underneath the post is a video which starts with an image of Sarwar next to the words: "Anas Sarwar has said he will prioritise the Pakistani community."
She wrote: “It appears designed to provoke division, stir racial resentment and marginalise Pakistani residents in Scotland.
It then cuts to an edited video of the Glasgow MSP telling an audience: “The days where South Asian political communities get to lead political parties and get to lead countries is now upon is.”
Beattie, the new SNP CEO, has complained despite the ad focusing on the leader of a rival party.

She wrote: “The video strongly criticises Scottish Labour Leader, Anas Sarwar, for promoting the inclusion of the Pakistani community in Scotland and portrays this kind of engagement with the Pakistani community in Scotland in a disparaging and negative manner.

“I strongly believe this content crosses the line into race-baiting and scapegoating, framing the support of a long-established ethnic minority community as a threat to the living standards of people in Scotland.”

All the furore from the SNP around the Reform party video with its focus on Anas Sarwar and yet it conveniently ignores the speech Anas Sarwar actually made standing in front of the flag of Pakistan calling for Pakistanis to take greater control over British politics.  As was previously covered in a BM Scotland blog several weeks ago.

This was how one Indian based news outlet reported the original Sarwar speech;

"Scottish leader Anas Sarwar asks Pakistanis to 'take power', causes massive social media outrage;

Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar has come under fierce criticism after a video emerged where he stood in front of a Pakistani flag and called on Pakistanis to "take power in councils, parliament, political parties and countries" so that they can "dictate what's taught in schools."

In the going-viral video, Sarwar announced, "a change is coming," urging South Asians to become more politically and educationally powerful. "

That is the speech being referred to by Reform UK in the current Scottish by-election.

And this is what Anas Sarwar has said about the Reform Uk video.

"Sarwar said last week that Reform was questioning whether he belonged in Scotland.

He said: “They want to try and question my identity, my belonging and my loyalty to the country in which I was born, the country with which I identify, the country in which my children were born.

“I am a Scot, a proud Scot. Having worked in Scotland’s NHS, I want to deliver a fairer and better Scotland. What these guys are, are chancers who want to play on people’s fears, to divide us rather than actually deliver meaningful solutions for the people of Scotland.

The people of Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse will see through it. And I’m pretty confident the people of Scotland will see it too.”

To be Clear - British Movement does not support Reform UK but BM Scotland certainly does not believe that Anas Sarwar belongs in Scotland.



WHAT HAS GLASGOW DONE TO DESERVE THIS?

The Make Up of Glasgow City Council - Does It Reflect the City?  Does it Reflect Scotland?

Glasgow Labour’s new leader is Rashid Hussain, Baillie Hussain is now  leader of the Labour Party on Glasgow City Council

Bailie Hussain, a councillor for Greater Pollok, was selected to replace George Redmond as the head of the group on Glasgow City Council at its AGM.

He replaced George Redmond, a white Scotsman, and Rashid Hussain, who is a data analyst for BAE Systems, becomes the Glasgow Labour group’s first BAME leader.

During the leadership campaign for the Labour group he was up against Baillie Soryia Siddique, Glasgow's former Labour deputy and she has publicly complained about a "glass ceiling" in Glasgow politics and in Scottish politics which allegedly prevents Muslim women and 'women of colour' from being elected to high office. Of course "racism" is a constant obstruction to any kind of advancement, or so she says. But isn't she the former deputy leader of Glasgow Labour group?
Doesn't she also hold the office of Baillie on Glasgow City Council?
So where is this glass ceiling?

Notice a pattern here?

What about Baillie Roza Salih who is an Iraqi-Kurdish born human rights activist and an SNP councillor for the Greater Pollok ward on Glasgow City Council, the first former refugee to be elected to political office in Scotland.

The 'BAME' population for Scotland is  about 5%.

BAME is the abbreviation for 'Black, Asian, Minority-Ethnic'.

But the 'BAME' representation on Glasgow City Council stands at 13%  - so the ethnic minorities are actually OVER represented in local authority politics in Glasgow.

Plus the leader of the Labour Party in Scotland is Anas Sarwar - check out all the noise coming out of the Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse by-election, as discussed above.

And remember the former SNP First Minister Humza Yousaf ?

Remember the rant at Holyrood by Humza Yousaf - "White!  White!  White!' ?

Exactly How 'Diverse'' Does Glasgow City Council Have To Be?

Exactly How 'Diverse'' Does Scotland Have To Be?

SCOTLAND DOES NOT NEED TO BECOME A VICTIM OF THE GREAT REPLACEMENT!
