Glasgow, Gaza and Hamas


A sparse turnout for a pro-Palestine rally as I passed through Glasgow's George Square on Saturday.

I listened briefly to two of the speakers (both shouty men) who were completely one-sided and partisan.

Maybe the penny is dropping that this terrible conflict will only be resolved if and when there are security guarantees for both sides.

Peace talks, never mind a peace settlement, are impossible to imagine while Hamas continues with its murderous attacks on Israeli civilians and its campaign of kidnapping  innocent civilian hostages including young children.

More Jew-Hate In Glasgow (November 12, 2023)

I'd love to know why these pro-Palestinian protesters keep marching on Marks&Spencers?

M&S is not a Jewish store and even if it were, that's not reason to stand outside shouting abuse - unless it's just more ugly Jew-hate on display.

 

Jew-Hate In Glasgow (1) November 03, 2023

An angry mob targeted Marks & Spencer in Glasgow's Argyle Street - chanting slogans about Israel and terrorism while having nothing to say about Hamas and its horrific attack on Israeli civilians which has triggered the latest crisis in Gaza.

Now that we're a month away from the month formerly known as June, we can think about what's happened.

Hi. https://t.co/yuA2cY109e — Brian Spusk (@BrianSpanner1) December 16, 2022 Brian Spanner (aka Brian Spusk) shares a tweet from the SNP's chief executive and husband of SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon) criticising secretive party donations. What a complete hoot - these hypocrites have no shame! Peter Murrell  @PeterMurrell "Anonymous political donations supposed to be a thing of the past. 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 "

SNP - Conspiracy of Silence

So here's the issue - two Glasgow MSPs (Nicola Sturgeon and Humza Yousaf) have been asked a reasonable question about their use of public money to employ two SNP councillors who already have full-time, salaried jobs as senior elected members of Glasgow City Council.   But these two public servants (both long-serving ministers) refuse to answer, so what to do next? One regular reader suggests raising the matter on the floor of the Scottish Parliament which is a good idea, but requires an MSP who's prepared to put down a written question for Scottish Ministers to answer. So here's a list of activities which will help shine a light on what has been going on because as Lord Nolan once said apropos driving up standards in public life - 'daylight is the best disinfectant'. Write to the leader of Glasgow City Council Write to the Chief Executive of Glasgow City Council Write to all elected members in Glasgow City Council Write to the party leaders in Glasgow City Council W
