British Movement Scotland: The Mainstream Political Parties Continue to Damage Scotland.

British Movement Scotland:

The Mainstream Political Parties Continue to Damage Scotland.

Anas Sarwar leader of Scottish Labour Party gets things off to a flying start...

Not Exactly the Back Drop You Expect for a 'Scottish'' Politician!

ANAS SARWAR - Calls for South East Asians in UK (Pakistanis and Indians) to work to take over politics and education.

Scottish Labour 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."

This From the Telegraph......

Anas Sarwar’s toxic sectarianism is the future of multicultural Britain

The Scottish Labour leader embodies the worst elements of identity politics.

And so it goes on......

And this from other media outlets

"Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar is facing intense criticism after a video surfaced in which he called on Pakistanis to "take power in councils, parliament, political parties and countries" so they could "dictate what's taught in schools." In the viral video, Sarwar said, "a change is coming," urging South Asians to become more politically and educationally influential.

The omission sparked accusations from citizens who accused Sarwar of promoting sectarianism rather than integration. "Multiculturalism has failed," many commented, expressing concerns that Sarwar's rhetoric signals a shift from assimilation to segregation.

However, many viewers quickly noticed the absence of any mention of Britain, Scotland, or the broader British public in his appeal.

One user on X (formerly Twitter) said, "The old Pakistan is going to be destroyed. But a new Pakistan is going to rise in the United Kingdom." Another wrote, "Scottish Labour's Anas Sarwar speaks of putting more Pakistanis into power. Notice he doesn't mention Scots, because they don't identify as Scots. They're not concealing the Great Replacement anymore."

The controversy intensified as videos resurfaced featuring Sarwar's father, Mohammad Sarwar, a former Labour MP and current Pakistani politician. In one video, Mohammad Sarwar reportedly called for worldwide blasphemy laws to protect Islam, saying, "a time will come that there will be a law in place all over the world that there can be no disrespect to our prophet."

Videos also showed Mohammad Sarwar delivering provocative speeches in George Square, Glasgow, where he called for bans on Quran burning and criticism of Islam."

GOOD TO WHERE ANAS SARWAR AND HIS FATHER STAND ON PUTTING SCOTLAND FIRST!

Meanwhile Green Party MSP - Maggie Chapman - Trans Champion and Net Zero campaigner shows her complete lack of interest in ordinary Scots and their concerns.

Maggie Chapman accused judges of 'bigotry' and prejudice and hatred".

Nats politicians rolled in behind Maggie Chapman and ensured she won a knife-edge vote 4-3.

THE SNP have saved a Scottish Green MSP from being axed from a senior party equalities post despite her accusing Supreme Court judges of "bigotry,

It means the trans activist MSP remains as deputy convener of the Scottish Parliament's Equalities and Human Rights committee, despite her attack on judges for their ruling this month clarifying sex in law means biological sex.

At a pro-trans rally earlier this month, Ms Chapman claimed that the landmark ruling from the Supreme Court showed "bigotry, prejudice and hatred".

Good to Know Where Maggie Chapman MSP Puts Her Political Priorities....

Where is the flag of Scotland? Is the 'Trans-flag more important to her?

This is what MSP Maggie Chapman said last year.....

MSP for North East Scotland (Region)

“My generation was born fighting, but I’m tired—tired of fighting for better housing, for a clean environment, for trans people, for refugees and asylum seekers. I’m tired of fighting for an end to genocide and for justice.” That is what human rights are for. They are for justice, not only for those of us in the chamber today, who live in warm, safe homes with family and community around us, but for everyone, everywhere in the world. We all share responsibility for t
"Obviously we are a political party, we want membership, we want support, we want activists. But for me it comes to social justice and of the recognition of everyone's right to be regardless of their identity.
"It's really, really important that people who are LGBTQIA+ feel that there are political voices who represent them, who are there standing up for them, and holding space for their rights and legal protections....The Greens are that safe space and if people don't feel they have that any more in a political party then of course if their values and beliefs are congruent with ours then of course we would welcome them."

So there you have it - those are her priorities at Holyrood.

And So It Goes On.........

Glasgow City Council expected to foot the bill for housing 'asylum-seekers' and migrants by 2026 it will be at least £79 million!

Meanwhile - Have You Ever Wondered Why NHS Scotland is in Such a Mess and Skint?

SHAMELESS CROOKS

Four men guilty of £6m bribery & corruption plot at NHS boards across Scotland
The four crooks were convicted after a three-month long trial at the High Court in Glasgow
TWO scheming NHS chiefs are behind bars after a £6m corruption and bribery probe at health boards across Scotland.
Disgraced bosses Alan Hush, 68, and Gavin Cox, 60, were nailed alongside telecoms firm directors Adam Sharoudi, 41, and Gavin Brown, 48.
The four crooks were convicted after a three-month long trial at the High Court in Glasgow involving the senior NHS execs and bosses at Oricom Ltd in Irvine, Ayrshire.
The business was headed up by directors Sharoudi and Brown who bribed their way into winning money-spinning contracts after initially setting up business from “a garden shed”.

All four crooks were today convicted of a raft of offences after a gruelling three-month long trial at the High Court on Glasgow.

Jurors heard Hush - a former telecommunications manager at NHS Lothian and NHS Scotland video conferencing manager - used the business as the “Bank of Oricom”.

The charges spanning between 2010 and 2017 included bribery, corruption, fraud, theft as well as others under the Proceeds of Crime Act.

One stated Sharoudi and Brown did “acquire, use and possess” a total of £5,719,244 of “criminal property” paid by NHS Lothian, NHS Grampian, NHS Lanarkshire, NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde as well as NHS Ayrshire and Arran.

The trial heard Oricom started in a garden shed before going on to to secure major deals for the supply and maintenance of telecoms and video conferencing equipment.
Hush was found guilty of nine charges, Cox two, Sharoudi, of Motherwell, seven and Brown, of Prestwick, a total of six.
Lawyers for all four had asked for them to remain on bail.

The NHS pair denied any wrongdoing but were yesterday found guilty of abusing their powers as “public servants” to push deals through - including one contract worth £3.1m.
In return, Hush, of Edinburgh, got £18,231 of cash bungs and gifts, Cox, of Newton Mearns, near Glasgow, a total of more than £70,000.

A Few Thoughts

BNSM Scotland: Easter Weekend but central Edinburgh and Glasgow are taken over by Trans Rights protests.

Easter Weekend but central Edinburgh and Glasgow are taken over by Trans Rights protests.

"Glasgow trans rights protest after Supreme Court ruling"

20TH APRIL

GEORGE SQUARE

PROTEST

An unbelievable mainstream media headline :

"Trans rights groups lead 'emergency' protest over Supreme Court ruling"

Emergency ? What emergency?

And this report is supposed to be factual?

"On Saturday 19 April, around 2,000 protesters turned out in Edinburgh against the UK Supreme Court’s roll-back of transgender women’s rights.

Members of the public marched from the foot of The Mound to the UK government building to rail against the disgraceful far-right-fueled ruling.

Supreme Court assault on trans people’s rights: protest in Edinburgh

Members of the community, including individuals from Resisting Transphobia in Edinburgh, organised the protest:"

e What has happened to Scottish tradition and culture?

THESE PEOPLE DO NOT REPRESENT THE ATTITUDES, BELIEFS OR OPINIONS OF THE MAJORITY OF SCOTS.
After years of 'woke' Labour,, Green and SNP influence it seems that a generation of LGBT activists are now dominating Scottish politics. The cultural Marxists and self styled liberal progressives are setting their agenda.

What kind of influence is this having in Scottish schools?

Especially when primary schools in some areas of Scotland are introducing 'gender neutral' toilets and allow children under the age of 12 to self-identify their gender.

The SNP dominated government at Holyrood has much to answer for as the political Left seek to dominate the so-called 'culture wars'.

It is NOT a 'Hate Crime' to respect the traditional family structure or family life.

This is what a women looks like and she does not need a 'gender recognition' certificate.

BNSM Scotland: The Influx of 'asylum seekers' into Glasgow - It Just Proves that the policy of Multiculturalism is Wrong-headed.

Plus BM Scotland Views and Opinions.

SNP Declares 'Asylum Seekers Welcome' - 4,000 'Asylum Seekers' currently settled in Glasgow. But Keir Starmer's Representatives Fail To Turn Up for Glasgow Meeting

Glasgow City Council ‘struggling to cope’ with asylum housing

Glasgow houses around 4,000 asylum seekers which the council warned is too many to cope with.

Glasgow City Council has said the number of homeless refugees and asylum seekers is putting public services under too much pressure, and is struggling to cope with demand.

The city has built its reputation on being welcoming and open to people of all races and nationalities, proud of its “People Make Glasgow” brand.

However, the council’s statement on the issue has caused some to doubt that slogan.

It comes as a UK Government minister cancelled their attendance at a meeting on Monday morning with the Scottish Government, council and other representatives to discuss the situation in the city.

Glasgow houses around 4,000 asylum seekers, which the council has warned is too many to cope with.

The city has declared a housing emergency, with record numbers of homeless people living in temporary accommodation.

Labour government minister Angela Eagle failed to attend the meeting in Glasgow on Monday, April 7th 2025, which just shows the Westminster cabinets attitude towards the crisis in the city of Glasgow, and probably reflects its attitude to Scotland in general. It is OK for the Home Office to use 'Operation Scatter' to disperse 'asylum-seekers' out of southern England across the country and up into Scotland, but leaves it to Scottish authorities to sort out any problems.

And this unsurprising headline......

"Council leaders in Glasgow have hit out at the Home Office after Immigration Minister Dame Angela Eagle snubbed demands for an urgent meeting to discuss the number of asylum seekers and refugees coming to the city.

Councillors in the ruling SNP administration have warned that the issue is “damaging social cohesion” and putting “unprecedented pressure” on housing.

According to the most recent figures from the Home Office, of the 6,057 asylum seekers in receipt of support in Scotland, some 4,193 are in Glasgow."

JUST STOP SENDING THE SURPLUS POPULATION OF THE THIRD WORLD TO SCOTLAND!"

Meanwhile the Struggle to Save Grangemouth Refineries Continues. But the 'Net-Zero Obsessions at Westminster and Holyrood Threatens Jobs.

Grangemouth is Scotland's last remaining oil refinery complex, and as reported previously on BM Scotland, it is scheduled to be closed down for good in Summer 2025 with up to 500 jobs being lost on site with up to 2,500 jobs lost in related jobs. This will be a permanent and long term loss to Scotland's economy. Unless the situation changes soon, the permanent closure and job losses will happen. The site is currently owned by the multi-national Petroineos company. Of course the Grangemouth refineries are nationally important to both Scotland and Britain as a whole but their existence does not fit in with the 'progressive' Left ideas on 'carbon-neutral' and eco-friendly industries in line with 'Net-Zero'. Not surprisingly, Ed Miliband,, the Labour government's Energy Secretary has once again demonstrated his clueless understanding of industry and real life economics by announcing a 'rescue' plan for the Grangemouth refinery complex. Ed Miliband has announced a plan for timber harvested from Scotland's pine forests to be brought to Grangemouth where the pine wood will be transformed into bio-ethanol via a fermentation process which would then be 'blended' into more eco-friendly fuels or be used to manufacture cosmetics and industrial chemicals. Miliband has proposed that the Grangemouth site can be adapted as a 'low-carbon' industrial area, and his arm of government has pledged £225 million tax payer funds to carry out the bio-ethanol plan with the equally carbon-neutral obsessed SNP government at Holyrood committing £25 million from its budget to top up the scheme.

Of course, Ed Miliband is placing his usual lack of judgement on a report jointly produced by the Petroineos company and the Scottish government, which helpfully offered a total of nine different options for transforming the Grangemouth complex, and this could offer a future of up to 800 jobs (compared to 500 and 2,500 likely to be lost). This "feasibility study" cost a cool £1.5 million and included such gems of recommendation as; "The Grangemouth cluster is important to Scotland's economy and energy security, hosting a concentration of strategic energy infrastructure assets, a logistics hub and a highly skilled workforce, contributing £900m to the UK's economy annually."

Not surprisingly the current workforce and trade unions at Grangemouth are less than impressed by the academic and civil service jargon of the 'feasibility study.' Even the usually Labour Party loyal Unite union has real doubts about Miliband's vanity/fantasy project for Grangemouth and has pointed out that a bio-ethanol plant for breaking down and fermenting pine trees into fuel would cost £430 million of tax-payer funding but would only create 50 to 60 jobs initially, possibly rising to 120 jobs if "Successful over the long term." Another bright idea is to turn part of the site into a plastics re-cycling plant , which could create aviation fuel or packaging material. But that would cost Scotland's tax-payers up to £250 million annually. Other equally net-zero minded plans include a plant to convert vegetable oils into 'sustainable aviation fuels' or even 'renewable diesel fuel'. But that would cost £900 million to get started and operating.

Scotland does not need Ed Miliband's net-zero obsessions or the carbon-neutral fantasies of the SNP. It needs real energy security and real jobs.

ALBA DUISG - SCOTLAND AWAKE!

BM Scotland - Asylum seekers are overwhelming Glasgow homeless services.

British Movement Scotland. - Asylum seekers are overwhelming Glasgow homeless services.

Multiculturalism Policies Directed From Holyrood :- Asylum seekers are overwhelming Glasgow homeless services and the Labour Government Don't Care..

Since the beginning of this year there have been repeated reports and warnings about the situation in Glasgow. Even mainstream media outlets both in print and on-line have joined in the warnings and sounding the alarm.

Numerous newspapers and news on line have reacted including the Glasgow Times, the Scotsman, the Daily Record and the Scottish Sun.

A few extracts here:

"Refugees homeless crisis 'unsustainable' for Glasgow"

20th January. Asylum seekers. Glasgow City Council. Refugees and immigration

"Hundreds of homeless refugees are travelling to Glasgow after being granted leave to remain."

"Hundreds of homeless refugees are travelling to Glasgow after being granted leave to remain. The situation, which added to the growing crisis in homeless services, has led to officials to warn the situation “unsustainable” for Glasgow to continue to commit to taking the same level of asylum seekers."

"The situation, which added to the growing crisis in homeless services, has led to officials to warn the situation “unsustainable” for Glasgow to continue to commit to taking the same level of asylum seekers.

Glasgow takes almost all the asylum seekers coming to Scotland (95%) despite a plan to have more people dispersed to other areas.

The remaining 5% of asylum are dispersed across 17 other local authorities with 14 local authorities in Scotland accommodating no asylum seekers.

The city declared a housing emergency in 2023 and since then has spent millions of pounds trying to cope and ensure people are accommodated.

Despite the city willingly housing thousands of asylum seekers the UK Home Office only gives £750 a year per asylum seeker, leaving the city to fund the rest.

It has led to the council and health board digging into reserves to the tune of £11m to cover the increase in costs.

In a report into homelessness, the Glasgow Integration Joint Board (IJB) has said the city cannot afford to continue to take part in the asylum seeker dispersal scheme to the extent it has.

Jim McBride, head of homelessness and complex needs, said: “Whilst Glasgow has always been, and will continue to be, a welcoming city for those fleeing persecution, it is evident that an increase in asylum cases as well as an increase in domestic demand, the crisis in the housing market and funding constraints make it challenging for Glasgow to continue to commit to the national framework in relation to asylum seekers and refugees.

“It is unsustainable for the city of Glasgow and is placing significant strain on the authority’s Homelessness Service.”

And this....

"In the space of a year homeless applications from people who had been granted leave to remain doubled from 1300 applications in 2022/23 to 2600 in 2023/24.

In the last year as a result of Home Office decisions, the cost to services in Glasgow is estimated to be £26.5m.

It will be funded by £11.6m from reserves and the council committed to paying the remaining £14.9m.

Glasgow currently has 4103 asylum seekers.

When they get a decision form the Home Office they are no longer entitled to accommodation through the asylum system and many present to the council as homeless.

On top of that, there are many more who get a decision elsewhere in the UK who then travel to Glasgow seeking housing, placing even more strain on services.

Mr McBride added: “In 2023/24, Glasgow received 599 homelessness applications from those granted leave to remain out with the city and in 2024/25 (up to 17th December 2024) a further 527 applications have been made.

“Homelessness Services are given no advanced notification of these households and receive no additional funding for them.”

The Labour Government of 'Two Tier' Keir Starmer is turning a deaf ear.....

"Labour minister snubs Glasgow asylum seeker summit despite 'unprecedented pressure'"

"Labour’s asylum minister has refused to attend a summit on pressures placed on Glasgow despite being in the city when talks take place."

And this in the GLASGOW TIMES

"UK asylum minister rejects invite to meeting about homeless crisis in Glasgow"

"THE UK Government minister responsible for asylum seeker policy has declined a request to meet with local politicians and support groups while on a visit to Glasgow

Angela Eagle, minister of state for border security and asylum is due to visit Glasgow next month.

She was invited to a roundtable meeting with senior councillors, the Scottish Refugee Council and Scottish Government representatives to discuss the unique pressures facing Glasgow with the high number of asylum seekers dispersed to the city.

The council wanted to state the case for more support for Glasgow to deal with the homelessness crisis that has resulted from the acceleration of asylum claims and hundreds more refugees reporting to the council as homeless.

Allan Casey, Convener for Homelessness, has written to the minister asking her to reconsider.

He said almost 1,000 people with leave to remain have accessed Glasgow’s homelessness services who have been given a decision elsewhere in the UK.

More than half of homeless households in temporary accommodation in Glasgow are from households who have been granted leave to remain, which he said is putting enormous financial strain on services.

Councillor Casey told the minister: “We want to discuss these issues with you in person so that we can, collectively, come to an agreed way forward which continues Glasgow’s proud history as a dispersal city, while balancing the ongoing needs of our communities, and which funds us appropriately for the impact that your decisions are having.

Over 4,000 asylum seekers flock to Glasgow and damage 'social cohesion' as they take advantage of generous housing rules.

Glasgow City Council has demanded a meeting with UK Government Asylum Minister Angela Eagle over growing levels of immigration to the city, with thousands declaring themselves homeless."

So much for establishment politicians listening to the local government officials...

The New 'Woke' Hero for the Political Left and Progressive Liberals in Scotland.

Mhairi Black

Mhairi Black, the former SNP Member of Parliament for Paisley and Renfrewshire South is currently being hailed by left-wing journalists after her appearance on a BBC Two documentary about her life, "Mhairi Black; Being Me Again."

As a living example to the progressive left, Mhairi Black ticks all the boxes, she was the youngest MP to enter the House of Commons since 1832, when she was elected as an SNP MP aged just 20 years of age. Plus she is a lesbian and she has a 'neuro-diversity condition' having been diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

Black has now stepped down from Westminster politics but has sought out new audiences at the Edinburgh Fringe, appearing on stage as a political stand-up comedian.

As we say - Mhairi Black ticks all the boxes for the 'Woke'.

Successful BM Glasgow meeting

Saturday March 29th 2025

A successful, low key but enthusiastic British Movement meeting was held in the Glasgow area on the afternoon of Saturday, March 29th.

Hosted by members of BM Glasgow the meeting heard speeches from a senior BM Glasgow activist as well as a speech by the BM National Secretary and BM activist Benny 'Whitelaw' who had travelled up to Scotland to support the meeting.
