The absolute state of it

Watching BBC Sunday Show earlier, did the First Minister really state his desire to kick me (and fellow @ScotTories MPs) “out of Scotland?”

Not just out of Parliament mind you, but kicked out of my home country?
How does this language sit with SNP’s #HateCrime legislation?

Scotland has entered a very dangerous place, Police Scotland told to target
comedians and other performers for hate crimes in their acts

Also included are bloggers and publisher's & anyone who redistributes anything
deemed to fall foul of law, retweeting or posting on this platform are prime examples

Police Scotland have vowed to investigate every reported allegation, how long
till they're swamped in allegations?

BIG @PoliceScotland Hate Crime story coming your way tomorrow. Watch this space!

An MSP is threatening to take legal action against Police Scotland after a tweet he posted criticising the Scottish Government’s transgender policy was logged as a ‘hate incident’.

Veteran Conservative Murdo Fraser said the force had ‘behaved not just outrageously, but unlawfully’ after learning that his name appears in police files for expressing a political view.

A trans activist reported the post on X, formerly Twitter, to Police Scotland whose officers decided it did not amount to a crime but should be classed as a ‘hate incident’ which will remain on record – even though no law had been broken.

Mr Fraser, MSP for Mid Scotland and Fife, is threatening legal action against the force to have the incident deleted and its hate crime policy changed, with the support of the Free Speech Union (FSU).



Last night Mr Fraser told the Mail: ‘Police Scotland has behaved not just outrageously, but unlawfully according to the legal advice obtained by the FSU. This is Police Scotland attacking free speech but it is more sinister than that. My tweet wasn’t pointing a finger at an individual, it was critical of a Scottish Government policy. If police are now treating criticism of SNP policy as hate incidents, that is a really serious issue as it shows how Police Scotland has been captured by the SNP policy agenda.’

On November 18 last year, Mr Fraser shared a column written by Susan Dalgety for The Scotsman, which claimed the SNP Government’s non-binary equality action plan would lead to children being ‘damaged by this cult’.

Commenting on the shared post, Mr Fraser said: ‘Choosing to identify as “non-binary” is as valid as choosing to identify as a cat. I’m not sure governments should be spending time on action plans for either.’ A member of the public reported the post to Police Scotland, claiming it constituted hatred against non-binary or transgender persons.

The Mail is not disclosing the name of the complainant, who is a trans activist...

SNP leader
at his conference

Talking to Victoria

He wants a New Policy
Referendum,
After a General Election?

[Humza Yousaf will attempt to “draw a line”
under the SNP’s independence policy at
this weekend’s party conference after a
failure to address concerns over the
cost of living crisis was blamed for its defeat
in the Rutherglen and Hamilton West byelection.

The conference opens on Sunday with a crucial debate
on Yousaf’s proposals to seek a mandate
at the next general election to open
independence negotiations with Westminster,
which has already attracted widespread
criticism from senior party figures.]

Im amazed he wasnt at one of the despicable "pro-terrorism" marches

becuase that is where his heart really lies

[Christmas Dynasnow]

Speakers scheduled to appear at a pro-Palestinian event at the SNP conference
blamed Israel for Hamas terrorism and described last weekend’s attacks as a
“dream coming true”.

The party’s leadership was urged to block the appearance of the two guests on
an “expert panel” for a fringe event, organised by the SNP Friends of Palestine
group, over the “deeply inflammatory” remarks.

SNP rejects using next election as 'de facto' referendum on independence

The SNP will not use the next general election as a de facto independence referendum, in a shift away from the strategy employed by Nicola Sturgeon.

Humza Yousaf, the SNP's current leader and the first minister of Scotland, backed the switch away from his predecessor's position.

He said using the next general election as a de facto referendum for independence is the "wrong approach" to take.

So when they had the semblance of credibility, the elections were a de-facto referendum. Not they haven't, they aren't.

Coincidence, I'm sure.

I think you can assume that anyone who votes SNP is vaguely pro-independence... however, the inverse isn't true - you can't assume that everyone who is pro-independence will vote SNP. And for various reasons (not in any way related to the independence debate) the number of pro-indy Scots who can stomach voting SNP is reducing.

This stance from them... just proves that they know it.

I'm still more or less pro-indy (although I think it now matters less than it did - we missed the boat timings wise) however I find it very difficult to mark the SNP box these days.

I struggle to name anything tangible that the SNP have delivered in recent years, I think it's time they go. I don't know who I'd vote to replace them but they've just settled into this fairly meaningless centre ground where Nicola Sturgeon's main accomplishment and purpose was to deliver zippy zingers about Westminster politicians, which was entertaining but she could do that on a late night comedy panel show. Humza Yousaf... has inherited the leadership and there's no platform to speak of. I'd be stunned if they are re-elected.

What they really need to do is move independence away from politics to gain traction, but of course, that's just not possible

At least away from party-politics, but as you say it's impossible. It's too tied up with espatblished politics, class, royalty, sectarianism... all sorts of complex things outside of all it should be about (economic viability/prosperity).
