On this day in 1971 the Ibrox disaster happened at Rangers FC football ground in Ibrox Glasgow.
The disaster occurred on Saturday, 2 January 1971, when 66 people were killed in a crush as supporters tried to leave the stadium. The match was an Old Firm game (Rangers v Celtic) and was attended by more than 80,000 fans.In the 90th minute, Celtic took a 1–0 lead through Jimmy Johnstone, but in the final moments of the match, Colin Stein scored an equaliser for Rangers. As thousands of spectators were leaving the ground by stairway 13, it appears that someone may have fallen, causing a massive chain-reaction pile-up of people
Most of the deaths were caused by compressive asphyxia, with bodies being stacked up to six feet deep in the area. More than 200 other fans were injured.
The disaster spurred the UK government to look into safety at football grounds and led to the publishing of the Guide to Safety at Sports Grounds (Green Guide), first published in 1973.

The Witches of Scotland are campaigning for Nicola Sturgeon to publicly apologise for Witch trials between the 16th and 18th century.
Once again we see this perpetual idea that we must apologise for all of Scotland's past. The justification for this is to encourage an end to witch hunting in many parts of Africa.
Why should we concern ourselves with African tribes? It is foolish to imagine our apology will change their practices. This is but a thinly veiled excuse to force even more White guilt on our people.

Jemma McDonald has been denied IVF treatment due to being unvaccinated against Covid despite being advised by doctors not to receive one while pregnant.
The Scottish government has stopped treatment for all patients who are not fully vaccinated. This is sick. How dare the government stop us from receiving the treatment that we pay for through our own tax.
This is a clear breach of our rights and a dangerous display of government overreach. The treacherous SNP have much to answer for.

Since 2017, at least 852 babies have been born in Scotland with addictions.
Babies in the womb are becoming exposed to even more drug abuse and this number is continuing to grow. This is a crisis that is barely being addressed.
Handling of the drugs crisis has been a huge failure thus far for the SNP and now the most vulnerable of our people are suffering the consequences.

PA Young Scots return with episode 7 and PA Talk's first reserve and all round good guy Mean Peem, a well-known Scottish activist.
On this day in 1543 Cardinal David Beaton declared himself Chancellor of Scotland.
Beaton was Archbishop of St Andrews and the last Scottish Cardinal before the Scottish Reformation. A hugely powerful man, prominent in the turbulent politics of the day, especially pushing for greater links between Scotland and France.
Cardinal Beaton was one of James V's most trusted advisers, and it was largely down to his influence that Scotland became more closely aligned with France and more distant from Henry VIII and England. James V died on 14 December 1542, leaving as his heir the six day old Mary Queen of Scots. Beaton immediately produced a document dated on the day of the King's death and supposedly signed by him, which appointed Beaton and others as Regents for the young Queen. Though this was declared a forgery and led to his brief imprisonment.
He returned to power in 1543 but was unpopular, especially for his persecution of Protestants. Ultimately this led to his assassination in 1546 at St Andrews Castle.

A 29 year old rapist has avoided deportation as judge rules the Taliban "will take a dim view" of his sex offences against Scottish women.
Ibrahim Ahmadi raped Glaswegian women in their sleep but has been able to avoid deportation, instead being kept in Scotland.
Why should we Scots have to house this dangerous foreigner in our nation? He is not one of us and does not deserve our protection. This "justice" system has harmed the people of Scotland for too long.

Around 4,400 jobs have been lost in many of Scotland's airports due to the government enforced lockdowns and restrictions.
Airports have struggled to meet demands and have seen a large decrease in passengers, harming the industry and the livelihood of their employees.
Perhaps if the untrustworthy vaccines were not mandatory for air travel, along with constant testing and isolating, these industries would not be in such a sorry state.

On this day in 1841 Alexander Bain was awarded the patent for the electric clock.
Bain was a Scottish inventor and engineer who was first to invent and patent the electric clock. He invented the Telegraph Clock, which was a technology of synchronizing many electric clocks placed anywhere in the world; they would all have the exact same time. He also invented and patented the technology of the facsimile machine for scanning images and transmitting them across telegraph lines hundreds of miles away.
Scotland has always produced many innovations and innovators that far outweigh the size of our country.

The hospitality industry is in a 'state of limbo' according to an industry body due to the ever changing covid restrictions.
Many livelihoods have been lost in this sector and many small businesses have struggled to stay afloat.
There has been a total lack of communication from the government to the hospitality sector, meaning the industry has very little time to adapt to the constantly changing rules.
The SNP have no care for the livelihood of Scots or for our industries. Only for their maniacal control over our lives.

On 12 January 1682 the Covenanters marched into Lanark where they published the Lanark Declaration. The leader was Rev James Renwick, and he and sixty men read the declaration from the Cross, which they had defaced with hammers. The Declaration was entitled 'The Act and Apologetic Declaration of the true Presbyterians of the Church of Scotland'. In it they adhered to the declarations of Rutherglen and Sanquhar and 'repudiated the unconstitutional acts of Charles II. The magistrates of the council were fined 6,000 merks for their slackness in apprehending the 'desperate villains'.
The picture above is the Covenanters Monument in Lanark.
The Covenanters and the Government carried on in conflict in what was called the Killing Time from 1679 until the Glorious Revolution in 1688. The Government persecuted the Covenanters, with many being executed, tortured or exiled abroad.
