On this day in 1740, James Boswell was born in Edinburgh. Boswell was a Scottish biographer, diarist, and lawyer. He is best known for his biography of his friend and older contemporary the English writer Samuel Johnson, which is commonly said to be the greatest biography written in the English language. A great mass of Boswell's diaries, letters and private papers were recovered from the 1920s to the 1950s, and their ongoing publication by Yale University has transformed his reputation.
Boswell studied law at Utrecht in Holland then Boswell spent most of the next two years travelling around the continent, his Grand Tour. During this time he met Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Voltaire with a recommendation letter of Constant d'Hermenches. Boswell also travelled to Corsica to meet one of his heroes, the independence leader Pasquale Paoli. His well-observed diaries and correspondence of this time have been compiled into two books, Boswell in Holland and Boswell on the Grand Tour.

Glasgow, which has already seen decades of loss of manufacturing jobs, is about to lose another 427 jobs in a community that already struggles with urban deprivation.
This is another example of the dangers of allowing our manufacturing sector to be sold off to foreign interests. Although McVitie's is a well know British brand it is actually owned by Turkish interests.
We need to stop foreign ownership of our businesses and put them back in local hands.

An Afghan immigrant that moved to Aberdeen claims he is "physically here but mentally not."
This is a widespread sentiment amongst immigrants, they do not feel at home here and no attempt at "inclusion" changes that.
The only way he can ever feel at home is to turn Scotland into Afghanistan.
The Scottish people have opened our doors out of care for these people, yet they still seek to warp our communities in their favour.

On this day in 1772 Francis Masson arrived in south Africa aboard the HMS Resolution with james Cook.
Masson was a Scottish botanist and gardener, and Kew Gardens’ first plant hunter.
Masson Masson was born in Aberdeen. In the 1760s, he went to work at Kew Gardens as an under-gardener. Masson was the first plant collector to be sent abroad by the newly appointed director Sir Joseph Banks. Masson stayed until 1775, during which time he sent back to England over 500 species of plant.
In 1776,Banks sent Masson abroad again, this time to Madeira, Canary Islands, the Azores and the Antilles.In 1783, Masson collected plants in Portugal, and in October 1785, he left England on his second voyage to South Africa.
In September 1797, Masson set sail for North America.During the next seven years he travelled widely collecting plants and seeds, visiting Niagara Peninsula and Lake Ontario, but amassed only 24 new species, a minuscule tally compared with his South African spoils.

It would appear that all you have to do to get a free trip to the UK sponsored by the UK goverment with a free house and benefits at the end of it, is claim to be gay.
29 LGBTI "refugess" have arrived and many more are set to follow. How excatly do you work out if someone actually is gay and at risk and not just looking for an easy exit and life..we have seen this happen before and i imagine we will see this type of thing increasing as it appears to be an easy way in.

Just catching up with a few messages after being at the PA conference all day. A couple of people are asking if the claims from the far left about our conference being cancelled are true. They’re not true. The event went ahead smoothly and we’ll have six speeches up online next week, along with photographs and a vlog. The left’s intimidation tactics are wearing off. Unfortunately for them there are more of us and we have strength in numbers.

Pulling off a successful conference is a great feeling, but pulling off a successful conference and then seeing all our enemys’ bitter and confused responses is even better. The far left continue to bicker amongst themselves over how and why their plan to cancel our event didn’t work, and fake nationalists who believed what they read on the internet a bit too early and celebrated our “failing” are sitting very red faced next to their deleted posts this morning.
I’m so proud of Mark for what he pulled off yesterday. And I’m so blown away by the quality of the people who attended our event. You make my heart ache with how amazing you all are.

On this day in 1765 Prince William, Duke of Cumberland died in London aged 44. Cumberland was third and youngrest son of King George II
He was know as the butcher of Culloden. A name given him by Tory opponents. After destroying the jacobite army at Culloden Cumberland ordered his troops to show no quarter against any remaining Jacobite rebels (French Army personnel, including those who were British-or Irish-born, were treated as legitimate combatants). His troops traversed the battlefield and stabbed any of the rebel soldiers who were still alive.
The British Army then embarked upon the so-called 'pacification' of Jacobite areas of the Highlands. All those of the troops believed to be 'rebels' were killed, as were non-combatants; 'rebellious' settlements were burned and livestock was confiscated on a large scale. Over a hundred Jacobites were hanged. Women were imprisoned, and droves of people were sent by ship to London for trial; as the journey took up to 8 months, many of them died on the way.

It is true i would guess that Pupils do want education to reflect and connect with them..
The question being then,why are the Scottish Goverment and education services pushing non white history and lgbt down the throats of our children?.
As a whole the non white population of Scotland at the last census stood at 4% ( remember that was all non whites not just those of school age) and the estimate of non hetrosexual people range between 1.5% and a maximum of 10%, again of all ages not just 0-18.
So in reality if education is to reflect to he Scottish 0-18 population it should be heavily white and hetrosexually orientated. But of course the Politicians and "activists" have their own agendas and that does not included what is right or best for our children.

Happy Samhain everyone
Samhain (/ˈsɑːwɪn, ˈsaʊɪn/, Irish: [ˈsˠəunʲ], Scottish Gaelic: [ˈs̪ãũ.ɪɲ]; Manx: Sauin [ˈsoːɪnʲ]) is a Gaelic festival marking the end of the harvest season and beginning of winter or "darker-half" of the year. In the northern hemisphere it is held on 1 November but with celebrations beginning on the evening of 31 October] since the Celtic day began and ended at sunset] This is about halfway between the autumn equinox and winter solstice. It is one of the four quarter days associated with Gaelic seasonal festivals along with Imbolc, Beltane and Lughnasa. Historically it was widely observed throughout Ireland, Scotland and the Isle of Man (where it is called 'Sauin'). A similar festival was held by the Brittonic Celtic people, called Calan Gaeaf in Wales, Kalan Gwav in Cornwall and Kalan Goañv in Brittany.

After the success of the PA conference supporters from London, North West, Yorkshire and North East went for a historical walk the next day around Kendal.
We walked up to the ancient ruins of Kendal Castle, which was once home to the Parr family (Henry VIII’s sixth wife). Supporters admired the site and had fun spotting all the well carved graffiti of our Ancestors on the walls of the castle. We did a banner drop which reflected all the incredible speeches of the day before.

On this day in 1940, Archie Mckellar was killed over the skies of Kent during the Battle of Britain.
McKellar was born in Paisley in 1912. McKellar grew up and joined the family business in his native Scotland, but in 1936, aged 24, he joined the RAF and began pilot training. He completed his training in 1938.
He gained fame in 1940 during the Battle of Britain. McKellar's combat career proved to be very brief, lasting just over a year. He claimed all but two of his victories within the last two and a half months of his life, 15 August to 1 November 1940. On 7 October 1940 he shot down five Messerschmitt Bf 109s, thus becoming an ace in a day - one of only 24 Allied aces to achieve the feat. At the time of his last mission he had claimed 21 aerial victories.
On 1 November 1940, he was killed in action. He took off and engaged a formation of German fighters, one of which he possibly shot down for his 22nd, albeit uncredited, and final victory. McKellar was then shot down himself.

Tayo Adekunle claims that black people should not be seen as victims, but seeks to empower Africans through her tasteless, nude photography.
The quality of the so-called art aside, she raises an interesting point. That indeed, blacks often are seen as an eternal victim. What Tayo fails to understand is that it is the black community itself which pushes this agenda.
Black victimhood is nothing more than a tool which excuses criminal behavior, going hand in hand with White guilt. We must feel no guilt and we cannot excuse the crimes of these people. They are not victims.
