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.

The SNP are seeking to create a separate visa system that will bypass the UK immigration system and make it far easier for migrants to come to live in Scotland.
They are using the justification that our rural communities are seeing a ongoing decline in working age population as excuse to fill the country with "migrants" who will probably just use the scheme as a way to sneak into the UK and not stay in these rural communities once they arrive. The Scottish government would be better spending time and money developing our rural communities, dealing with the issue of affordable housing, lack of jobs, infrastructure and travel problems that would allow the Scottish population to stay in these areas rather than be forced to move to the city. The SNP and previous governments have ignored and under-invested in our rural areas for decades.
The SNP's real agenda is obviously not about helping these rural communities but just another way to flood the country with the immigrants they seem determined to bring here.

On this day in 614 Saint Kentigern (Welsh: Cyndeyrn Garthwys; Latin: Kentigernus), known as Mungo died and was buried in Clas Gu, which later became Glasgow. St Mungo is the Patron Saint of Glasgow.
. At the age of 25, Mungoi began his missionary work on the banks of the River Clyde. Here he was welcomed by people previously converted to Christianity by St Ninian, and here Mungo built his church, close to the confluence of the River Clyde and the Molendinar Burn. Since the 1200s the site of this early church has formed part of Glasgow Cathedral.
Mungo worked on the banks of the River Clyde for 13 years until the anti-Christian King Morken of Strathclyde drove him out in about AD565. But in the 570s King Rhydderch Hael of Strathclyde, having overthrown Morken, invited Mungo to become Archbishop of Strathclyde
His church became the focus of a large community that became known as Clas-gu or "dear family". From these beginnings emerged the modern city of Glasgow.

Today PA activists combined a homeless outreach with a historical walk around Newcastle city centre.
Through donations from our supporters we provided the homeless with food, hand warmers and water. They were very much appreciated on such a cold day.
After the outreach we visited the Black Gate and Newcastle Castle which dates from 1247, and also admired many grand buildings in between.
We finished off in a lovely traditional and welcoming pub where we discussed plans for future activities.
Thank you to all that turned up.

Work absences in the NHS are at their highest rate since the start of the scamdemic, allegedly due to the Omicron variant.
Official figures show that around 50,200 NHS staff were off work in the week leading up to January 11th. This absence has led to increased pressures on the already failing NHS.
Evidently, despite all restrictions, vaccines, boosters, masks and sanitisation, the NHS is completely ineffective at stopping this viral outbreak. We are lucky Omicron is not deadly, as we clearly can't rely on the NHS to save us anymore.

On this day in 1872 Greyfriars Bobby died in Edinburgh.
Greyfriars Bobby was a Skye Terrier who became known in 19th-century Edinburgh for spending 14 years guarding the grave of his owner. The story continues to be well known in Scotland, through several books and films. A prominent commemorative statue and nearby graves are a tourist attraction.
The best-known version of the story is that Bobby belonged to John Gray, who worked for the Edinburgh City Police as a nightwatchman. When John Gray died he was buried in Greyfriars Kirkyard, the kirkyard surrounding Greyfriars Kirk in the Old Town of Edinburgh. Bobby then became known locally, spending the rest of his life sitting on his master's grave.
In 1867 the Lord provost of Edinburgh, Sir William Chambers, paid for Bobby's licence and gave the dog a collar, now in the Museum of Edinburgh.
He was buried just inside the gate of Greyfriars Kirkyard, not far from John Gray's grave.

Oil services firms say that there is much potential in new unexploited oilfields not just in the North Sea but also off Shetland.
The Scottish government, with its pact with the Greens, is damaging the chances of any of these fields being exploited. While it is true that we should cut carbon emissions, this needs to be a gradual effort. It will benefit no one to see the exploitation of these fields banned or made not viable. We have already seen work on the Cambo oilfield stopped due to fears over the actions of the Scottish government.
At a time when people are struggling to heat their homes and pay ever-increasing fuel bills we cannot transition away from the traditional energy sources too quickly as this will just worsen the problem. The SNP have the dream of Scotland being run on clean energy with homes retrofitted with green technology, but it is at this moment an expensive, unattainable dream that can only bring more energy pain to the people of Scotland.

Today marks a very sad anniversary of a brutal racist murder which, like other racist murders of white people, has been swept under the carpet.
On 15 January 2012 William Mckeeney was walking home to his flat in Pollokshields after enjoying a couple of quiet pints in a local pub and picking up a fish supper for his partner. William had just entered Melville Street where he and his partner lived when he encountered two Asian youths, Asif Rehman and Adel Ishaq. Rehman and Ishaq had been drinking and taking drugs and set upon William - for no reason except, it appears, that he was white and in the wrong place at the wrong time. One of the murderers said in a phone call after the murder that they "had splattered a white cunt".
The two Asian youths knocked William unconscious then continued to kick him, jump on his head and body for several minutes, leaving him battered and broken in the street. William's partner witnessed the attack from their flat window. She thought the two were breaking up furniture.
