For all their claims that they are making Scotland a better place, the SNP have yet again been found to be letting the children of Scotland down. A new report has found that over half of Scotland's children have experienced poverty in the last 12 years and instead of falling the number of children living in poverty is actually rising.
The SNP announced with much fanfare their targets to reduce poverty to 18% by 2023/24 and 10% by 2030/31. Still unambitious, as no child in Scotland should be living in poverty. But the report finds that they are way off hitting even these targets.
Maybe the SNP should spend less time promoting their LGBT agendas, historical slavery reviews, black lives matter agendas and working to fill the country with their "New Scots" and more time actually working to better the lives of our people.
Our children are our nation's future. Their future and the future of our country are being damaged by the failures of the SNP.

On this day in 1926 John Logie Baird gave the first public demonstration of true television images for members of the Royal Institution and a reporter from The Times in his laboratory at 22 Frith Street in the Soho district of London, where Bar Italia is now located. He went on to invent the first publicly demonstrated colour television system, and the first viable purely electronic colour television picture tube.
John Logie Baird was a Scottish inventor, electrical engineer, and innovator. He was born in Helensburgh and attended Glasgow University.
He demonstrated the world's first colour transmission on 3 July 1928, using scanning discs at the transmitting and receiving ends with three spirals of apertures, each spiral with a filter of a different primary colour; and three light sources at the receiving end, with a commutator to alternate their illumination.[28][29] The demonstration was of a young girl, 8-year-old Noele Gordon, wearing different coloured hats.

For years, campaigners have been trying to get the Customs House building in Leith transformed into a museum celebrating the history of Leith and its port. The council and other organisations have shown no interest and refused funding.
Now as part of the ongoing Edinburgh Council review into slavery, it has been proposed that the very same building will become a museum of slavery and oppression.
What a kick in the teeth for the people of Leith. It appears that their history means nothing to Edinburgh Council and to the other heritage organisations. Should we be surprised? It has been evident for a long time that the history of the people of Scotland means nothing to the political class of our nation. Just more proof, as if you need it, that we are indeed second class citizens in our own country.

The Scottish government will be making changes to the 'gender recognition process' to make legally changing sexes even easier.
However, a human right's body has asked the government to take this matter into great consideration and put even more spending into this project. The government has already conducted two consultations on the plans.
A spokesperson for the government has stated they are 'working to support respectful debate.'
This seems an odd turn for the SNP after announcing their Hate Crime bill, which would have anything deemed 'hate speech' criminalised, including criticism of transgenderism. They are tripping over their own narrative.

On this day in 1860, Major-General Sir Thomas Makdougal Brisbane died in Largs.
Brisbane was a British Army officer, administrator, and astronomer. Upon the recommendation of the Duke of Wellington, with whom he had served, he was appointed governor of New South Wales from 1821 to 1825. A keen astronomer, he built the colony's second observatory and encouraged scientific and agricultural training. Rivals besmirched his reputation and the British Secretary of State for the Colonies, Lord Bathurst, recalled Brisbane and his colonial secretary Frederick Goulburn.
Brisbane, a new convict settlement, was named in his honour and is now among the largest cities in Australia.
He joined the British Army's 38th (1st Staffordshire) Regiment of Foot in 1789 and had a distinguished career in Flanders, the West Indies, Spain and North America. He served under the Duke of Wellington, and in 1813 he was promoted to major general. He saw much action during the Peninsular War.

The Scottish Government not so long ago issued a survey to schools aimed at children in the 14-17 year old range asking about their "sexual experience", wanting to know how often they have sex and if they indulge in oral, anal and vaginal sex amongst other questions.
This survey seems completely inappropriate - in fact so much so that ten of Scotland's councils are refusing to issue it and others are still reviewing it or have changed the questions.
Now a local campaigner is holding a demonstration in Glasgow opposing it. You have to ask yourself what kind of people are in charge of health and education in the Scottish government when they think this is an appropriate survey for children. Given its position on other subjects such as trans "rights", it appears that there is a strong degenerate element at work within our nation's government.

On this day in 1829 William Burke, of the notorious Edinburgh "body-snatchers" Burke and Hare, was executed. Burke was hanged in front of a crowd possibly as large as 25,000.
Burke and Hare are probably the two most famous body-snatchers. The two are almost always paired together, being known simply as Burke and Hare. They achieved their infamy in an age when it was common for body-snatchers or "resurrectionists" to steal freshly-buried bodies from graveyards to sell them for dissection or anatomy lectures in medical schools. Burke and Hare took this to its, for them, logical conclusion: cutting out the tiresome business of digging up corpses by murdering carefully selected victims so their bodies could be sold.
William Burke was living with his mistress Helen MacDougal in William Hare and Maggie Laird's lodging house. It is here that they lured people, who they then killed and sold to the anatomist Robert Knox.
Eventually their scheme was uncovered. Hare gave evidence against Burke and went free.

Donnie Watt has been a resident of a hospital in Fife for five years now. His family feels distant from him and feels he has become invisible to the NHS.
Data on hospital beds being 'blocked' shows that some residents are now waiting more than five years to be released despite being healthy again.
The NHS has much to answer for and many Scottish families have experiences of their family being held captive by them.

Scotland: Rabbie Burns – where is he now?
Burns Night has come and gone, and outside of businesses trying to turn a few quid, you would barely notice that such a thing has taken place. The National Bard, with his own day, and he gets a little mention at the end of the BBC Scotland news. What used…
On this day in 1750 Helen Gloag was born in Muthill, Perthshire. Helen was a victim of a part of history that is never talked about when people talk of slavery. She was a white victim of slavery, one of many hundreds of thousands captured by the Barbary pirates and sold into slavery in North Africa and the Middle East.
Helen left home at the age of 19 to take a passage to South Carolina. The ship was captured by Barbary corsairs, pirates from Morocco, two weeks into the voyage.
After capture, the men were killed and the women were taken to the slave market in Algiers. Gloag was purchased by a wealthy Moroccan and handed over to Sultan Sidi Mohammid ibn Abdullah. Due to her beauty, red hair, and green eyes, the Sultan added her to his harem. His infatuation toward her resulted in her becoming his fourth wife and eventually a favourite wife.
Sultan Sidi Mohammid ibn Abdullah died in 1790 and his throne was seized by his son Mulai Yazeed. Helen and her two sons were killed as he consolidated power.

Staff at two Edinburgh hospitals have been forced to park two miles away from their work due to 'congestion' at the site.
Many of the staff do not feel safe having to walk this distance in the dark after a long shift. Sadly, Edinburgh has been hit hard with foreign immigration, bringing danger to Scottish women.
The NHS is notorious for their incompetent, top-down decision making. Often these decisions come from managers that will never feel the effects of their own decisions. The Scottish people have had enough.

On this day in 1649 at 2pm Charles I was executed by beheading on a scaffold outside the banqueting Hall on Whitehall, London.
Charles had been accused of treason against England by using his power to pursue his personal interest rather than the good of the country. The charge stated that he, "for accomplishment of such his designs, and for the protecting of himself and his adherents in his and their wicked practices, to the same ends hath traitorously and maliciously levied war against the present Parliament, and the people therein represented", and that the "wicked designs, wars, and evil practices of him, the said Charles Stuart, have been, and are carried on for the advancement and upholding of a personal interest of will, power, and pretended prerogative to himself and his family, against the public interest, common right, liberty, justice, and peace of the people of this nation."
He was found guilty after a six day trial which led to his execution.

If you own an iPhone, it may be time that you reconsidered giving your money to Apple…
Their latest release includes emoji's for a pregnant man/pregnant person. Apple seem very happy to push this corrupt view of humanity onto millions of its users. A view that denies simple biology: that a man simply cannot get pregnant. It is also an attempt to wipe out the differences between men and women and deny women the characteristics that are unique to them. The primary characteristics that make them the vital part of our society that they are.
Big tech seems fully onboard with ripping our world apart and inverting biological and societal norms, and ultimately trying to create a new degenerate world where men and women no longer exist. We must reject this world of nothing that they are trying to create and force upon us. This begins with refusing these big corporations your money and rejecting their twisted narratives.

This morning, PA Scotland's team in the north east took advantage of the gaps between weather warnings to take to the hills of Angus.
The summit of Kinpurney Hill and its old observatory was the destination. The weather held out long enough for some amazing views at the top.
Come lockdowns or mandates, PA Scotland will be taking in the countryside, improving our fitness and enjoying the company of some great people.
