Forget About Problems With SCOTRAIL - The SNP wants to build a Scottish Museum on Slavery.

 Forget About Problems with Scot Rail - the SNP wants to build a Scottish Museum on Slavery,

Forget about chaos in Scotland's economy, forget about dealing with the SCOTRAIL and public transport problems, forget about cuts to local services, forget about the state of NHS services, forget about off the scale drug deaths, because the SNP wants to spend £5 million on a Slavery Museum for Scotland.

£150,000 already committed to a  report document produced by the 'Empire, Slavery and Scotland's Museums (ESSM) Steering Group. 

£5 million set aside to build an Empire and Slavery Museum

Pictured above: Sir Geoff Palmer - leader of the ESSM committee and self-described as         'anti-racist educator' and a 'curator of discomfort'.

" Scotland's involvement in empire, colonisation and historic slavery can be addressed using museum collections and museum spaces."

This has to be an SNP exercise in 'Woke' politics, the SNP appointed the ESSM 'activist committee' and extended the project to include an organisation called 'Intercultural Youth Scotland' (never heard of that before),  in an attempt to promote 'White Guilt' in the indigenous White population of Scotland and to challenge notions of 'White Privilege' in Scotland.

Exactly how many black people descended from slaves actually live in Scotland?

Exactly how many black people (African-Caribbean or Sub-Saharan African) actually live in Scotland?

Pictured above: The Empire, Slavery and Scotland's Museums Steering Group, headed by         Sir Geoff Palmer, this 'activists committee' of academics and political 'influencers', believe that   " Scotland's economy was built on the British Empire and slavery."

These 'anti-racist educators' make no reference to Scotland's population in the past being affected by such events as the suppression that followed the Jacobite Rebellion in the 18th Century, the Highland clearances in the 19th Century, the mass influx of Irish people fleeing the Potato Famine in the 1840's and the slums in Scottish industrial centres in the Industrial Revolution. But of course all those are aspects of 'White Privilege' in Scotland.

Meanwhile there is a voice of sanity in the world of Scottish universities and academics, the leading Scottish historian Sir Tom Devine was highly critical of the ESSM project and had previously spoken out against Black Lives Matter protest in Edinburgh, together with BLM vandalising of historic statues in the city. Sir Tom Devine stated that, " BLM protests were historically inaccurate and humiliating for Edinburgh. " and that the proposed Scottish Slavery Museum would be "led by non-historians and would mean a disastrous actual institutions."

And do not forget the millions already ear-marked by the SNP for Indy Ref Two in October next year...

According to media reports this week First Minister Nicola Sturgeon is intending to try to by pass the Westminster government by staging a "softer consultative referendum", whatever that might mean. The SNP constitutional secretary Angus Robertson has tried to put blame on the national government in Whitehall for refusing to grant Holyrood legal powers to hold a legally binding referendum on Scottish independence.

But, it seems that the SNP government at Holyrood is trying to hide the legal advice it has been given in relation to holding Indy Ref Two.  The SNP has attempted to block enquiries by the Scotsman newspaper into the legal advice and has tried to obstruct the Scotsman's applications for Freedom of Information access to Holyrood files on that legal advice.

What are the SNP trying to hide?

SNP Determined to Hold 'Indyref2' in October 2023 - Are they for real?

SNP Has Announced This Week That They Are Determined To hold 'Indyref2' In October 2023

Are they for real?

Sturgeon Claims That the Scottish Government Has A 'Democratic' Mandate To Hold An Independence Vote - Indy ref Two.

In a fresh bout of self-delusion and a distortion of the reality at Holyrood, in a speech in Edinburgh, SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon claims that her government has a 'democratic mandate' to demand a second independence vote for Scotland. 

This ignores all those in Scottish electorate who do not support the SNP and do not want independence from the Union of the United Kingdom.

In the words of the First Minister to create a "wealthier and fairer Scotland" - given that the SNP have now been in charge of Scottish politics and Scotland's economy for almost a decade why has this not been done already?

Yet in making these statement the SNP are ignoring the latest opinion polls in Scotland which make it clear that the electorate in Scotland is "split down the middle on the question of independence".

And that is not a clear mandate Nicola !

SAY NO TO CRAZY SNP DEMANDS FOR INDYREF2 NEXT YEAR !

SNP Shambles for Scotland's Economy but Still find £20 million for Indy 2.

SNP Shambolic Handling of Scotland's Economy but Still find £20 million to Fund Indy 2. 

Yet Holyrood presides over massive council cuts across Scotland and SNP finance secretary refuses to discuss cuts and wage negotiations with council workers representatives and public services.

SNP Announce £1 billion of cuts to council services across Scotland but SNP Finance secretary Kate Forbes refuses to discuss cuts and funding with councils.

Independence obsessed First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has admitted that Scotland's economy is in chaos and Holyrood has an estimated £3.5 billion overspend and will have to go cap in hand to Whitehall to beg the Tory government for a cash bail out !

So how will an independent Scotland manage its economy with the SNP in charge?

And Sturgeon insists that Indy 2 will take place before the end of 2023 !

British Movement Scotland insists that Scotland stays in the Union as a full part of the United Kingdom

Together We Are Strong - Divided We Are Weak !

When BM Scotland covered 'Multiculturalism Poisoning Scotland' last month - we forgot to include this outrageous bit of nonsense currently being touted by Main Stream Media (MSM)

The New Doctor Who - A 'Scottish' actor ?

Several weeks ago the entertainment world hailed the "new Doctor Who"

Described in the mainstream media as a 'Scottish actor born in Rwanda', other media outlets describe him as a 'Rwandan-Scottish' actor.

Ncuti Gatwa - he was born to Rwandan parents in Kigali, Rwanda, so how does that make him Scottish?

According to media froth his family smuggled him out of Rwanda as a toddler with the help of a Scottish Christian charity. The family settled in Dunfirmline where Ncuti Gatwa went to school and of course he "faced racism"  and "racist bullying" but still managed to go to London to train to be an actor and low and behold he secured major (and lucrative) acting roles and has been honoured by BAFTA Scotland as the best actor on television.

Now they media are hailing his latest 'achievements' and he has been honoured by the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. No doubt he still suffers as a victim of 'racism'.

Of course First Minister Nicola Sturgeon notoriously stated a couple of years ago that in her opinion anyone who settles in Scotland to live there, no matter what part of the world they come from, once they are living in Scotland they are Scottish !

Which just about sums up the SNP and Scottish Greens immigration policy.

Nicola Sturgeon and the SNP - Scotland's Self-Inflicted Wound.

 Nicola Sturgeon and the SNP is Scotland's

 Self-Inflicted Wound

What is wrong with voters in Scotland that the electorate continue to allow the SNP to dominate Scottish politics and now the mainstream media in Scotland actually celebrates the fact that Nicola Sturgeon is the longest serving First Minister since devolution (so far)?

Ask Alex Salmond how it worked out for him after she succeeded him as leader of the SNP and became First Minister.

Nicola Sturgeon is obsessed with being the politician that takes Scotland out of the Union and takes her place in history as being responsible for breaking up the United Kingdom.

Sturgeon is still determined to push for Indy Two vote in 2023, no matter what the Westminster government says and no matter what the legality is of staging the vote.

Still no answers about the ferry contracts even though the First Minister claimed that responsibility for the ferry contract rests in her office - quote. "the buck stops here".

Nicola Sturgeon on the International Stage

Almost forgot about the First Minister visiting the USA earlier this month - what a lacklustre performance.

SNP Sturgeon was supposed to be in Washington DC to win over US support for Scotland, get trade deals etc. but all she wanted was photo-ops and ego boosting, self-promoting TV interviews, She was of course pushing the SNP Indy Two agenda but managed to upset a large section of SNP supporters by declaring that an 'independent Scotland' would join NATO - although most SNP activists oppose NATO; that the SNP youth wing actually campaigns against NATO and her allies in the Scottish Greens also oppose NATO. Just shows what an astute politician Sturgeon is, apparently totally out of touch with the thinking in her own party and with her Scottish Green allies. does she just make it up as she goes along?

ALBA DUISG ! 

SCOTLAND AWAKE !

It is time for a complete change in Scottish politics, time to ditch the leftist phoney nationalism of the SNP; time to consign the Labour Party in Scotland to the dustbin of history, how can Labour claim to represent the working people of Scotland and its long working-class traditions when it is led by the son of a Pakistani immigrant?

The Scottish Tories are not only unpopular but totally out of touch with the people of Scotland, and represent the old ruling class and land owners.

The Liberal Democrats and the Scottish Greens represent left of centre thinking, 'Woke' and eco-obsessed policies that fail to answer the big questions affecting Scotland's economy, Scottish energy needs, employment and sustainable land use. 

The fringe Marxist, Trotskyist and old school communists do not represent Scotland.

What is needed is a complete revolution in thought, a complete shift in thinking, not only to maintain the major role that Scotland has in the Union, the United Kingdom, but to represent the real people of Scotland and to reverse the damage being done by 'Woke' politics, leftist economic policies, Third World immigration and the resettlement of Syrians, Iraquis, Afghans and assorted asylum-seekers from the surplus population of the Third World in Scotland.

The time has come for radical racial Nationalism, for British National Socialism.

The Creeping Poison of Multiculturalism Spreads Out Through Scotland.

 The Creeping Poison of Multiculturalism Spreads Out Through Scotland

Even in the Highlands and the Western Isles the cancer of multiculturalism is taking hold, taking small inroads into communities. A Chinese takeaway here, a curry house or kebab shop there, a Turkish barbers (usually staffed by Afghans or Kurdish) there. Not to forget the Asian owned tartan shops in the centre of Edinburgh, lots of 'traditional tartan' items on sale to the tourists, some even staffed by Indian employees wearing tartan turbans. (It is true - I have seen them!)

The Scottish tourist board likes the rest of Britain to consider this the traditional face of the Highlands, but in Nairn itself there are Chinese takeaways and Kashmiri curry houses, all staffed by non-whites.

Pictured above: The Istanbul kebab shop in the village of Carrbridge in the Cairngorms National Park, how the population of a small place like Carrbridge can sustain such a business is baffling unless the bulk of customers are tourists staying in the local hotels.

Who can forget that it was some SNP genius at Holyrood who thought it a good idea to settle some Syrian 'refugee' families on the island coomunities in the Inner Hebrides. Add to that the asylum-seekers and 'refugees' being resettled or housed in hotels and not just in Glasgow, Edinburgh or Aberdeen, this blogger was shocked to see 'migrants' taking over a hotel in Fort William recently.

**** Remember just last year in Glasgow, what the political Left now refer to as 'the battle of Kenmure Street', a mixed mob of Left-wing activists and immigrants prevented the arrest and deportation of two illegal immigrants. Add to that a recent situation in Edinburgh where another mixed mob of 'anti-racists' and non-whites prevented the arrest and removal of another illegal immigrant.

The multiculturalists are getting bolder and their poison is spreading across Scotland.

Pictured below: Kenmure Street Glasgow, the police surrender to the mob and release the two Indian illegal immigrants from lawful custody.

Another fine mess - the ScotRail situation

In an extraordinary display of political shared thinking, both Scottish Tories and Scottish Labour have publicly berated First Minister Nicola Sturgeon for being responsible for the current chaos on Scotland's railways. A series of 24 strikes by embattled rail staff, a total of 700 services cut as of May 25th as the SNP government continues to mishandle Scotland's rail network.

And Just in Case You Missed the Media Coverage - Nicola Sturgeon is officially the longest serving First Minister of Scotland since devolution. How much more damage can she do into Scotland's currently uncertain future?

The SNP Has Tightened Its Grip On Scottish Politics - So Now What?

 The SNP Has Tightened Its Grip On Scottish Domestic Politics - So Now What ?

The local elections unfortunately worked out in the SNP's favour; increased the number of SNP councillors across Scotland, increased the SNP hold on local councils and council budgets, created control of local authorities so that the will of the SNP at Holyrood will be easier to impose.

Here at BM Scotland we cannot understand what the voters in Dundee were thinking of, they gave the SNP greater control of the city, and Nicola Sturgeon was so thrilled that she made a special 'victory' visit to Dundee for photo-calls and media interviews.

Even worse, Sturgeon pointed out to journalists that over in Northern Ireland the balance of power had swung in favour of Sinn Fein, a situation that the First Minister obviously admires and finds inspiration from in her drive for' Indy Two'.

During her Dundee interview Sturgeon gushed that Scotland would be directly involved in any talks between the UK government, the Irish government and representatives of the Ulster Assembly as part of the 'Irish Council'. She clearly supports the idea of a united Ireland and sees it as a first stage towards breaking up the United Kingdom and of course as a template for Scotland leaving the Union.

Although the voter turnout across Scotland, Wales and England reflected a low level of electorate participation, Nicola Sturgeon and her SNP cohorts see it differently, they believe that the vote actually endorses the SNP and its 15 years in power at Holyrood. Quietly forgetting the previous deal the SNP had to do with the Scottish Greens to maintain control.

If nothing else the local election results in Scotland have increased Nicola Sturgeons ego and have pushed her and her SNP acolytes towards directly challenging the government in Westminster over a second independence referendum.  The legal implications do not seem to bother the SNP leadership, and the First Minister ignores the repeated reminders from Whitehall that the earlier 'Indy' referendum was a 'once in a generation' vote.

These are challenging times and over the coming months there will be increasing political friction over the attitudes of the SNP as it seeks to transform Scotland into a 'One Party state'.

British Movement Scotland and British Movement nationally stands by the Union and opposes any attempts by the SNP to break up the United Kingdom.
