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

And the SNP continues to provide its own bad news!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

And do not forget the SNP at the Court of Sessions

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

BM Scotland don't trust the Tories either!

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

BRITISH MOVEMENT (SCOTLAND) STANDS BY THE "14 WORDS"

More SNP Scandals - Misconduct by SNP Ministers - the gift that keeps on giving!

 

More SNP Scandals - Misconduct by SNP Ministers, Missing WhatsApp messages and Sinn Fein at Bute House - SNP conduct, the gift that keeps on giving.

'Honesty, integrity and transparency.'

Or is it incompetence, arrogance, misconduct in public office or corruption?

Another MSP exposed to public scrutiny, Michael Matheson, the SNP Health Secretary has over the last month made several statements in the chamber of the Scottish parliament in regard to the £11,000 iPad streaming bill he ran up during Christmas 2022 and the early part of this year. At first the MSP tried to pass it off as a bill to be paid by the Scottish taxpayer, because it was to cover roaming data charges on his official, parliamentary iPad. 

In fact Matheson initially refused to explain the £10,935.74p data bill. Two weeks ago the SNP Health Secretary faced two days of questioning at Holyrood as to how it was possible for him to run up such a bill on parliamentary business while for part of the period he was on holiday with his family in Morocco over the Christmas and New Year period.

There were contradictory statements to the Scottish Parliament, and eventually Matheson claimed that he had "withheld" information in order to shield his family from media attention and intrusive journalists.

The truth is that the bulk of the roaming data bill was run up by his teenage sons, who were using the iPad to watch Scottish football matches while they were on holiday in Morocco. A cost of £8,666 worth of data on Sunday January 2nd 2023 alone!

Finally, he gave a reasonably honest explanation and has reluctantly agreed to pay the data bill out of his own pocket, and will reimburse Holyrood in full.

Hardly surprising is the fact that SNP leader and Scotland's First Minister Humza Yousaf stands by the SNP Health Secretary and believes his explanations. But as Scottish Conservative Party leader and MSP Douglas Ross has stated that Humza Yousaf was, "the last person in Scotland still believing this minister's ridiculous claims."

And for once Scottish Labour are standing with the Tories wanting answers about Michael Matheson's data bill and in addition questions about his keeping 'confidential information' stored on his iPad secure.

As this article goes out on-line, the arguments continue at Holyrood as Humza Yousaf defends Michael Matheson and tries to deflect attention back on the financial record of Scottish Tory leader Douglas Ross. 

Watch this space  ......

And Did the SNP Mislead the Scottish Parliament?

The official Covid-19 Inquiry continues to drag on and still the SNP leadership drags its feet about releasing all their communications, especially electronic media messaging. That is in spite of repeated assurances to the Scottish parliament by SNP ministers that the SNP administration would fully co-operate and hand over all their records.

MEANWHILE - SCOTLAND'S FIRST MINISTER HAS FACE TO FACE MEETING WITH STORMONT SINN FEIN LEADER AT BUTE HOUSE.

Humza Yousaf met Michelle O'Neill at Bute House on Wednesday November 22nd 2023, just as his predecessor Nicola Sturgeon had done in the past.

It seems that Humza Yousaf thinks that Sinn Fein are kindred spirits in wanting to take Northern Ireland and Scotland out of the United Kingdom.

Humza Yousaf loves to play at being some kind of statesman, and tries to imagine himself as the leader of an independent Scotland on the world stage of international politics.

THIS IS WHAT THE 'SCOTTISH DAILY EXPRESS' HAD TO SAY:

'Selfish' Humza Yousaf meets Sinn Fein Stormont leader at Bute House in new alliance to break up the UK

The First Minister welcomed Michelle O'Neill to his official residence in Edinburgh, sparking claims that he will 'gladly work with anyone who supports his aim of breaking up the United Kingdom'

There have been no denials of this from the SNP !

GLASGOW PAEDOPHILE CASE: Perverts, Child Molesters and Hard Drugs - Pure Poison !

 GLASGOW PAEDOPHILE CASE:

Perverts, Child Molesters, 'Witch-craft' and Hard Drugs

PURE POISON IN THE CITY

Glasgow Crown Court - November 2023.

This was described as the worst child sex abuse case in Scottish legal history.

Seven defendants were convicted on a string of sexual offences against children, giving drugs and alcohol to children, child rape, and other sexual acts.

It is also alleged the children were forced to take part in satanic "seances" and made to kill animals.

At the hearing at the High Court in Glasgow, the accused faced a 14-page indictment listing 43 different charges which allegedly happened between January 2010 and March 2020 in Glasgow.

Iain Owens, Elaine Lannery,  Lesley Williams and Paul Brannan were also convicted of the attempted murder of a baby girl they put in a microwave oven!

At least four others were found guilty of non-sexual offences but were guilty of common assault and drug related offences.

Even the Mainstream Media were shocked by the revolting catalogue of sexual offences, hard drug use and 'satanic' excuses for the degradation, depravity and corruption of children.

Members of Glasgow paedophile gang guilty of running 'monstrous' child sex abuse ring

The seven-strong sex ring, all heroin addicts, subjected the youngsters to horrific attacks in an insect-infested den.

All were found guilty of raping children and four were nailed for the attempted murder of a tot who they forced into a microwave oven.

The attacks included the horrific rape of one girl who was pinned down by male members of the ring as female members cheered, hollered and encouraged the attack.

There were said to have been “rape nights”, “dance and sex nights” as well as “dog killings nights” held within the property.

HUMAN GARBAGE

Police mug-shots of six of the seven degenerates found guilty at the trial last week

Iain Owens, 45, Elaine Lannery, 39, Lesley Williams, 41, Paul Brannan, 41, Barry Watson, 47, John Clark, 47, and Scott Forbes, 50, were all convicted.

The court was told that another five heroin and cocaine addicts involved with the Glasgow paedophile ring had died before they could face trial including Rab 'Nae Legs' Brown from Townhead, who had both his legs surgically amputated after infections due to years of injecting heroin into his legs and thighs.

After his initial arrest and charges in October 2020, Rab 'Nae Legs' was removed from his Townhead flat by police and taken to a 'safe address' because a crowd of local residents surrounded the block of flats to force him out.

His sometime girlfriend Maureen McLellan died at a property in Maryhill. Also dead is Sreven McHendrie, another heroin addict who died of an overdose.

Poppy Seller - war veteran assaulted at Edinburgh railway station - Are British traditions now so disrespected?

 A Poppy Seller - a war veteran was assaulted at Edinburgh railway station by Pro-Palestine 'activists'. Are British traditions now so disrespected?

HOW DID IT COME TO THIS?

Army Veteran, 78 years old Jim Henderson  - a volunteer poppy seller in Edinburgh on Saturday November 4th 2023.

Location was Waverley Street Station, Edinburgh - Jim Henderson was assaulted by a group of pro-Palestine demonstrators who 'objected' to him being there selling 'poppies' for the charity Poppy Scotland - on behalf of the Royal British Legion.

Mr Jim Henderson: He reported to the police that he was pushed, punched and kicked, forced to pack up his stall because the Pro-Palestine protesters did not think that he had a right to be there.

Of course left-wing media sources are casting doubt on the story, trying to claim that the man was not assaulted by the "mostly peaceful" pro-Palestinian demonstrators.

British Culture, Heritage and Traditions Take Second Place to Multiculturalism - For the Political Left British Traditions, British Values and Customs Take Second Place to Imported, Immigrant Cultures and Values.

The Left Demand that the White British Show 'Cultural Sensitivity' Towards Ethnic Minority Culture, Religion and Values.

The Left Show No 'Cultural Sensitivity' Towards British Culture.

THE SNP HAVE PUSHED THE MULTICULTURALIST AGENDA IN SCOTLAND.

Nicola Sturgeon was very keen on importing 'new Scots' and was delighted to import 'refugees' and 'asylum-seekers' from the Middle East.

Now Humza Yousaf wants to flood Scotland with refugees from Gaza.

Meanwhile the SNP legal troubles rumble on at the official inquiry into the Scottish government's response to the Covid lockdown. The 'useless' First Minister Humza Yousaf has had to backtrack on his previous statements about releasing internal documents and WhatsApp messages and has had to admit that his predecessor Nicola Sturgeon destroyed WhatsApp messages instead of preserving the electronic documents.

In a classic display of his 'ability' as First Minister of Scotland, Humza Yousaf "apologised unreservedly" about the accuracy of his statements to the Scottish parliament last week in regard to the inquiry requests for 'full, un-redacted copies of its legal advice' during the pandemic.

It would appear that there are accusations of "non-compliance' by the Scottish government with requests by the official inquiry for full access to all government internal documents connected to the Covid pandemic and that access includes all WhatsApp messages and communications.

October 2023 Ends on a Low Note for Humza Yousaf and the SNP.

October 2023. The Month Ends on A Low Note for Humza Yousaf and the SNP. 

First Minister Humza Yousaf seems to have convinced himself that he is some kind of international statesman on the world stage. Perhaps being interviewed by US magazines has gone to his head. Humza is now calling for a ceasefire in Gaza and actually seems to think that his voice will rank alongside national leaders and will convince the Israelis to stop bombing Gaza.

And Humza Yousaf continues to make noises about bringing thousands of Palestinian refugees to settle in Scotland. There are 2,500 'asylum-seekers' currently being housed in hotels and similar accommodation in Glasgow, the biggest concentration in a British city outside London.

So where are all those Palestinian's supposed to go?

SNP WOES CONTINUE....

SNP - another two defections from the SNP this time to Alex Salmond's Alba Party, during the conference for the Alba Party, Alex Salmond was able to declare that Ash Regan the MSP for Edinburgh East , and a former contender for SNP leader, was quitting to become the Alba Party's first sitting MSP. A day later she was joined by South Ayrshire councillor Chris Cullen, who also quit the SNP to join Alex Salmond's Alba Party.

Yet, another poke in the eye for Humza Yousaf, who tried to pretend to the press that Ash Regan leaving was no loss to the SNP and losing Chris Cullen was nothing significant. Well he would say that wouldn't he?

And also......

November gets off to a flying start with school strikes and closures across South-West Scotland.

The SNP are certainly doing a good job of running Scotland's education system.

Still Not Off the Hook

For all the posturing at the SNP conference in Aberdeen, and her blustering in the MSP chamber at Holyrood, Nicola Sturgeon is not off the hook yet.

There are still plenty of questions hanging over from her time as SNP leader and First Minister of Scotland; the Police Scotland investigation has not gone away yet; and now a whole stack of questions for her as the Covid official enquiry gets under way.

Where are all those WhatsApp messages ?

How come Nicola Sturgeon keeps insisting that all her official communications are going to be turned over to the inquiry but she stone-walls on questions about if some of her 'electronic messages' have been deleted?

Nicola Sturgeon needs to think hard. Trying to deflect public attention away by carefully stage managed reports on taking her driving test, will not wash with the people of Scotland.

So Now Humza Yousaf Wants to Flood Scotland with Refugees from the Gaza Strip.

 So Now Humza Yousaf Wants to Flood Scotland with Refugees from the Gaza Strip.

In his own words to the SNP conference in Aberdeen.....

"There are currently around one million people displaced within the Gaza Strip. I am therefore today calling on the international community to commit to a worldwide refugee programme for the people of Gaza.

"I am calling on the UK government to take two urgent steps.

"Firstly, they should immediately begin work on the creation of a refugee resettlement scheme for those in Gaza who want to, and are able to, leave.

"And when they do so, Scotland is willing to be the first country in the UK to offer safety and sanctuary to those caught up in these terrible attacks."

What a surprise that Humza Yousaf, himself a second generation Pakistani immigrant should propose to bring untold numbers of Palestinian refugees to Scotland. No doubt as a practising Muslim he will welcome so may of his co-religionists, think of all the new mosques that will need to be built.

So if Humza Yousaf gets his way, where exactly in Scotland are these refugees going to settle, live and establish 'new lives'?   

Given that Scotland's total population at the last census was roughly five and a half   million in total  the impact of so many 'new Scots' from the Middle East will have a major impact on Scotland's ethnic makeup, Scottish culture, Scotland's dominant religion and eventually Scottish politics. Given that most of Scotland's current population is concentrated across the cities and towns of the Central Belt; no less than three and a half million people.

Where is the First Minister of Scotland going to house, provide medical care, social care, education,    jobs for these refugees?  In the Central Belt towns and cities?  Just in greater Glasgow?  Or spread them out ?  Where in Perth and Kinross or Aberdeenshire?  Angus and the West Coast ?  How about Inverness and along the towns of the Moray Firth?

Given the state of Scotland's economy, NHS Scotland, the entire social welfare system in Scotland, and not forgetting the current turmoil in Scotland's schools and education system, how exactly does this social justice warrior First Minister propose to provide for these refugees? 

A as a final point here; how can anyone in the ranks of the SNP describe themselves as a 'Scottish Nationalist' when the party is led by a second generation Pakistani immigrant who wants to flood Scotland with Muslim refugees from the Middle East?

It was bad enough when the Scottish Government under Nicola Sturgeon imported thousands of 'asylum-seekers' and 'refugees' from Syria and elsewhere, but now?

AND THE SNP MEMBERSHIP HAVE LEARNED NOTHING THIS YEAR!

Nicola Sturgeon Gets Rockstar Welcome At SNP Conference – But Denies Overshadowing Humza Yousaf

Was this genuine emotion or just playing to her captive audience of adoring fans?

SNP on the back foot after the Rutherglen & Hamilton West by-election - and facing defections.

 The SNP is on the back foot after the Rutherglen and Hamilton West by-election and now has suffered its first defection by an SNP Westminster MP.

Above: How the Scottish First Minister likes to present himself, a recent issue of the American publication 'Time magazine'. Humza Yousaf displays himself as a statesman and postures to a US readership as "a trailblazer shaping the future".

Obviously 'Time magazine' did not spend too much time looking at his dismal record as an SNP minister over recent years, why else do his opponents call him "Useless Yousaf"?

In a few days time SNP leader Humza Yousaf is due to strut his stuff before the SNP Annual Conference in Aberdeen and the situation he is to present to the SNP faithful  is not exactly rosy.

The SNP were hammered by Scottish Labour in the Rutherglen and Hamilton West by-election, losing the seat by more than a 20% swing to Labour. So bad was this political rout for the SNP that one SNP insider stated that the party had been "skelped", and admitted that members were quitting the SNP because they disagreed with much of its 'radical social agenda' on matters such as gender and education.

The SNP share of the vote in the Rutherglen and Hamilton West by election went into free-fall, but the Labour Party victory was not as great as the Labour publicity machine presents - the number of voters who did not take part was significant.

Add to that the very surprising news that one of the SNP's Westminster MP's has quit the party and of all choices she has joined the Conservative Party.

Lisa Cameron, who until this week was the SNP Member of Parliament for the seat of East Kilbride, Strathaven and Lesmahagow, left the SNP to join the Conservatives because she had suffered months at the hands of what she called, "the toxic and bullying culture" of the SNP group at Westminster, because she spoke out against the party line on the behaviour and SNP party line on SNP MP Patrick Grady.

So much for internal solidarity in the SNP.

It will be interesting to hear how SNP leader Humza Yousaf explains all that and more to the audience at Aberdeen.

Pictured above: Humza Yousaf as he likes to think of himself, and desperately wants the Scottish electorate to think of him as a serious, professional politician.

IF ONLY THE REALITY MATCHED THE GLOSSY PRESENTATION.

And What About Israel  and the Conflict in the Gaza Strip?

It seems the Scotland's First Minister Humza Yousaf has a card in that game too.

It seems that the Scottish First Minister has family members caught up in the siege of the Gaza Strip, and the pending bombing offensive and ground attack by Israeli forces. Humza Yousaf has been quick to tell the media about his wife's family members, her mother and brother, who are trapped in the Palestinian enclave. His brother in law. Mohammed, is doctor working at a hospital in Gaza, and his wife's parents made the trip out to Gaza to visit him and other family members last week. That has to be a serious error of timing.

As a Muslim, Humza Yousaf is deeply concerned for the people of Gaza facing the onslaught by the military might of the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF), and he has stated that, "The world can't sit back and witness the obliteration of 2.2 million people."

A fair comment, the mass destruction of Gaza and its population is a pending humanitarian disaster, but the Scottish First Minister needs to think about his statements because the bulk of the British political mainstream, especially the government are standing in solidarity with Israel and any expressions of sympathy or support for the Palestinians will be held under great suspicion.

BM Scotland wonders if the SNP conference in Aberdeen will display the Israeli flag in solidarity?
