Daily Record Apologises
At the beginning of the month The Daily Record, a Scottish rag, published a story titled HATEFEST about the PA Scotland conference.
In the article I was 'quoted' by an anonymous source as wanting to "gas" Jews and wanted to "pursue a nazi-inspired and anti-semitic agenda".
I challenged them on this and they've capitulated, admitting that their 'source' actually has no proof of any of this. They've amended the online article, taking out the segment and posting an apology as a footnote but I'll be asking for a further printed apology as I originally requested.
We have to ask why national media is printing hearsay from sources who never bother to provide evidence?
Clearly, if you were to walk into any press office in the country and proclaim "I want to slander White people", journalists would be climbing over each other to get the scoop! Journalistic integrity be damned!
The media is anti-White, push back at every opportunity.

On this day in 1562 the Battle of Corrichie took place in Aberdeenshire. The monument to the battle is pictured above.
The Battle of Corrichie, also known as the Battle of Corrichy was a battle fought near Meikle Tap, near Aberdeen. It was fought between the forces of George Gordon, 4th Earl of Huntly, chief of Clan Gordon, against the forces of Mary, Queen of Scots, under James Stewart, 1st Earl of Moray.
Huntly had defeated the English twenty years earlier at the Battle of Haddon Rig; however, at Corrichie he was defeated by Queen Mary's forces, and apparently he died of apoplexy after his capture. Mary had come in person to the north of Scotland intent on confronting the power of the Gordons. At Corrichie, the Gordon's tactic of charging with swords was defeated by Moray's pike drill.
After the battle, Huntly's eldest son Sir John Gordon was taken to Aberdeen and executed three days later. A younger brother Adam Gordon of Auchindoun, also captured at Corrichie, was spared.

This is modern Scotland, the Scotland the SNP/Green Alliance has created.
While thousands of migrants are encouraged to come to Scotland and are housed in nice hotels with free heating, power, WiFi and food until they are moved quickly to houses of their own, indigenous Scots are stuck on the streets and aren't even be provided with an indoor soup kitchen for the winter, never mind any type of housing.
Why do our people spend the winter on the streets, while ungrateful incomers moan about being in hotels? Why not house our homeless in those hotel rooms?
At the very least this soup kitchen should be found somewhere urgently. Glasgow Council alone has access to many unused or underused buildings. Somewhere warm for people to eat and maybe pass the night should not be hard to do.
Better still, stop housing so-called migrants and start housing our people only.

On this day in 1765 Prince William Duke of Cumberland, also know as Butcher Cumberland by some dies in Mayfair, London.
Prince William Augustus, Duke of Cumberland was the third and youngest son of King George II of Great Britain and Ireland and his wife, Caroline of Ansbach. He was Duke of Cumberland from 1726. He is best remembered for his role in putting down the Jacobite Rising at the Battle of Culloden in 1746, which made him immensely popular throughout parts of Britain and reviled in others.
At Culloden his troops traversed the battlefield and stabbed any of the jacobites who were still alive.When Cumberland learned that a wounded soldier lying at his feet belonged to the opposing cause, he instructed a major to shoot him; when the major (James wolfe) refused to do so, Cumberland commanded a private to do it.

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.[32] 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.
Following Culloden, Cumberland was nicknamed "Sweet William" by his Whig supporters and "The Butcher" by his Tory opponentsthe latter being a taunt first recorded in the City of London[34] and used for political purposes in England. Cumberland's own brother, the Prince of Wales (who had been refused permission to take a military role on his father's behalf), seems to have encouraged the virulent attacks upon the Duke. Cumberland preserved the strictest discipline in his camp. He was inflexible in the execution of what he deemed to be his duty, without favour to any man. In only a few cases he exercised his influence in favour of clemency. The Duke's victorious efforts were acknowledged by his being voted an income of £25,000 per annum over and above his money from the civil list.A thanksgiving service was held at St Paul's Cathedral, that included the first performance of Handel's oratorio Judas Maccabaeus, composed especially for Cumberland, which contains the anthem "See the Conquering Hero Comes".
An equestrian statue of the Duke was erected in London's Cavendish Square in 1770, but was removed in 1868 since by that time the 'butcher of Culloden' was generally reviled.

A Pakistani man who has been in Scotland for three years has been convicted of sexually assaulting at least seven Scottish women. He has now been allowed to fly home to Pakistan to attend his daughter's wedding before returning to Scotland for sentencing. This is Scottish justice, it seems.
This man should have never been in Scotland but, since he was, the case should have been dealt with quickly. He should have been sentenced to jail, to give the victims justice, and then immediately deported and banned from ever returning. Will this happen? Will he even return to face justice and give his traumatised victims some closure?
Foreign criminals are a rising problem in the UK and we see the vast majority of them not deported at the end of their sentences. This needs to change.

On this day in 1940 the Scottish fighter ace Archie McKellar was killed in action.
McKellar grew up and joined the family business in his native Scotland, but in 1936, he joined the RAF and began pilot training. He completed his training in 1938 and was assigned to No. 602 (City of Glasgow) Squadron RAF, an Auxiliary Unit. He experienced his first combat with No. 602 Squadron, credited with two victories soon after the outbreak of war in 1939 McKellar's first victory earned him the distinction of being the first pilot to shoot down a German aircraft over the British Isles during the war. He went onto become an ace in a day shooting down 5 enemy aircraft in one day. His war was a brief one lasting only about a year and 21 kills.
On 1 November 1940, one day after the official end of the Battle of Britain, 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.

The controversial Sandyford Gender Clinic in Glasgow is prescribing puberty blockers to children as young as 9.
40% of the children referred to the Sandyford clinic had mental health problems, and a very high proportion had autism, but the clinic sent many of them for drug and other therapies.
Health professionals and former de-transitioned clients of the clinic have attacked it, saying it should be shut down and is a danger to Scotland's children.
But still, Sturgeon and her Green allies support the clinic and refuse to close it. This is institutional abuse of our children and needs to stop.

Scotland and its inhabitants have recorded many firsts in history over the centuries. Now we achieve another one. Unfortunately this one is not something to be proud of.
The first person to be convicted in court as both a man and a woman happened in Dundee. The defendant was up on charges from different times in the last year and identified as a male in some of them and female in others.
Our world is becoming increasingly ridiculous. PA Scotland is pushing back against the clown world being imposed on us. Why not get involved and play your part in campaigning for a return to sanity?

On this day in 1902 the ship Scotia sailed from Troon Ayrshire at the start of the Scottish National Antarctic Expedition.
The Scottish National Antarctic Expedition (SNAE)was organised and led by William Speirs Bruce, a natural scientist and former medical student from the University of Edinburgh. Although overshadowed in terms of prestige by Robert Falcon Scott's concurrent Discovery Expedition, the SNAE completed a full programme of exploration and scientific work. Its achievements included the establishment of a staffed meteorological station, the first in Antarctic territory, and the discovery of new land to the east of the Weddell Sea. Its large collection of biological and geological specimens, together with those from Bruce's earlier travels, led to the establishment of the Scottish Oceanographical Laboratory in 1906
The SNAE's permanent memorial is the Orcadas weather station, which was set up in 1903 as "Omond House" on Laurie Island, South Orkneys, and has been in continuous operation ever since

Sturgeon seems to be determined to push Scotland ever further into clown world
Under a "feminist foreign policy", out go armed forces and military action as part of foreign policy. In comes prioritising peace, gender equality, focusing on the well-being of the world's most marginalised people, and challenging existing power structures such as racism, colonialism, and male-domination
So it appears that, in Sturgeon's Scotland, we will be sending loads of cash to people abroad and inviting in loads of "marginalised" people to come and live in Scotland. Out will go jobs for men, in will come extra jobs and educational places for women, the prioritising of the "rights" of women over other people, and any traditional structures that are deemed to be linked to so-called "colonialism" will be banished
You have to wonder how all this sits with the current attack Sturgeon is leading on women's rights though via transgender reform bill

Lorimer became President of the professional body in Scotland, the Incorporation of Architects in Scotland, and it was during his tenure in office that the body received its second royal charter, permitting use of the term 'Royal' in the title. Lorimer was a fellow of the North British Academy of Arts.
Lorimer died in Edinburgh in 1929.He was cremated at the newly opened Warriston Crematorium and his ashes were thereafter buried with his parents at Newburn in rural south-east Fife, close to the family home of Kellie Castle.

More Scandal for the SNP, it seems every week there is a new scandal coming out about elected members of the SNP.
Mark Kerr sexually groomed and abused teenage boys including touchinh one while they were at a food bank and attempting to rape another in his home .
Kerr was a SNP councillor in Lanarkshire, where recently the SNP leader of the council had to stand down over his own abuse of teenage boys.
The SNP is a party of degenerates. How can the people of Scotland trust them to look after the children and vulnerable of our Nation. The SNP need to go. Scotland needs a proper Nationalist Party not the fake Nationalists of the SNP.

In yet another attack on the family by the Scottish Government and local councils, a school in West Dunbartonshire has banned teachers from letting parents know that children as young as 12 are changing gender at school. The school and council say they are following Scottish Government guidance. This appears to be happening at more and more schools across Scotland.
Parental authority has been under constant attack for years now under various governments. But this has increased under the present SNP/Green alliance and their gender war on society is having negative societal consequences.

Even though she was not officially invited, Sturgeon is swanning around Cop27 in Egypt this week playing at being a world leader.
She just announced at the conference that Scotland is going to give £5 million in climate "reparations" to less developed countries that are affected by "climate change".
Ar the same time as she is giving away the people of Scotland's money, we have a financial crisis at home. The health budget has just seen a £400 million cut, over £1.2 billion in total cuts have been made to the Scottish budget, Scots can't feed their children or heat their homes, council budgets are facing multi-million-pound deficits that are going to mean large cuts in services and staff redundancies.
But Sturgeon has decided to hand this money over as a vanity project so she can carry on pretending she is a progressive world leader.

On this day in 1937 Ramsey Mcdonald died.
James Ramsay MacDonald FRS was a British politician who served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, the first who belonged to the Labour Party, leading minority Labour governments for nine months in 1924 and again between 1929 and 1931. From 1931 to 1935, he headed a National Government dominated by the Conservative Party and supported by only a few Labour members. MacDonald was expelled from the Labour Party as a result.
MacDonald was born at Gregory Place, Lossiemouth, Moray, Scotland, the illegitimate son of John MacDonald, a farm labourer, and Anne Ramsay, a housemaid. Registered at birth as James McDonald (sic) Ramsay, he was known as Jaimie McDonald.
MacDonald, along with Keir Hardie and Arthur Henderson, was one of the three principal founders of the Labour Party in 1900. He was chairman of the Labour MPs before 1914 and, after an eclipse in his career caused by his opposition to the First World War, he was Leader of the Labour Party from 1922.

The Scottish Government has been referred to the UK’s statistics watchdog over alleged inconsistencies in the reporting of Accident and Emergency (A&E) figures.
At the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Glasgow alone, over 2000 people are being "hidden" from the A&E waiting times it appears.
The SNP are constantly lying to the people of Scotland, not just over health figures but on many other subjects as well.

On this day in 1150 Dryburgh Abbey in the Borders was established.
Dryburgh Abbey, near Dryburgh on the banks of the River Tweed in the Scottish Borders, was founded by an agreement between Hugh de Morville, Constable of Scotland, and the Premonstratensian canons regular from Alnwick Abbey in Northumberland. The arrival of the canons along with their first abbot, Roger, took place on 13 December 1152.
It was burned by English troops in 1322, after which it was restored only to be again burned by Richard II in 1385, but it flourished in the fifteenth century. It was finally destroyed in 1544, briefly to survive until the Scottish Reformation, when it was given to the Earl of Mar by James VI of Scotland. It is now a designated scheduled monument and the surrounding landscape is included in the Inventory of Gardens and Designed Landscapes in Scotland.
Sir Walter Scott and Douglas Haig are buried in its grounds.
