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.

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.

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?"

Some Councils are allowed to cull them however, and usually do this by either poisoning or shooting them. How to catch your seagull.
