Tyrannies, Oppressors and Nut Jobs

The suggestion that Scotland is living under an oppressive tyranny is completely laughable.

Yet this didn't stop former SNP MP for East Lothian, George Kerevan, from attacking the current SNP leadership on social media by drawing unfavourable comparisons with Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King Jr and Mahatma Ghandi.

Bonkers or what? - though it does lend weight to the argument that the 'old SNP' really is in the ascendancy following its recent success in elections to the party's national executive.

See post below featuring Kenny McAskill, the former SNP justice secretary who has now reinvented himself as the new SNP MP for East Lothian - no fan of Nicola Sturgeon either, I would say. 

   

Spelling Trouble For Sturgeon (11/12/20)


Here's an interesting article by Kenny MacAskill, the former SNP justice minister and MSP, who has remerged as the Westminster MP for East Lothian.

Apparently the old SNP is back after recent elections to the party's ruling national executive - and that spells trouble for Nicola Sturgeon & Co.

Scottish independence: The old SNP is back and pressure is mounting on Nicola Sturgeon and co – Kenny MacAskill MP

It’s safe to say that the elections to the SNP National Executive held last week didn’t produce the outcome the leadership had been seeking.

An alliance of women’s rights activists, old party stalwarts and the left had a pretty comprehensive victory, taking many senior scalps.

They were reclaiming their party, as they saw it, from a woke faction who were damaging women’s rights and downplaying, if not, ignoring independence.

It wasn’t achieved without a fight. Factions had been denounced, by inference as well as by name. But all was to no avail, and whilst not a tidal wave, it was still a sea change.

Kentucky Fried Seagull

Hugh Fearnley Whitingstall is one of my favourite - and endearingly bonkers - TV chefs. The River Cottage chef has a some imaginative ideas for adding seagulls to the national diet - including a recipe for Kentucky Fried Seagull - would you believe. Here's what HFW has to say on the subjecy -  I think I'll contact Hugh - and ask if he'll join the TAPAS campaign. "Vermin with wings? Chicken of the sea? Or just an opportunity missed?" "First and foremost, before we all go on a mad seagull killing frenzy. In the U.K it is against the law to kill seagulls or interfere with their nests under the countryside and wildlife act. Some Councils are allowed to cull them however, and usually do this by either poisoning or shooting them. How to catch your seagull. Remember this is against the law in the U.K. I don't want the Men in Blue knocking at the door because someone said that Foodimum told them it was okay to catch and eat seagulls. It isn't... P

Yet Scottish Tories pocketed £319,000 from secretive trust with no fixed address or known current trustees. @Conservatives legally responsible for checking true identity of donors before accepting cash. #DarkMoney "
