On this day in 1759 Scotland's national poet Robert Burns was born in Alloway, Ayrshire.
Robert Burns, also known familiarly as Rabbie Burns, was a Scottish poet and lyricist. He is widely regarded as the national poet of Scotland and is celebrated worldwide. He is the best known of the poets who have written in the Scots language, although much of his writing is in a "light Scots dialect" of English, accessible to an audience beyond Scotland. He also wrote in standard English, and in these writings his political or civil commentary is often at its bluntest.
He is regarded as a pioneer of the Romantic movement, and after his death he became a great source of inspiration to the founders of both liberalism and socialism, and a cultural icon in Scotland and among the Scottish diaspora around the world. In 2009 he was chosen as the greatest Scot by the Scottish public in a vote run by Scottish television, though of late he has become yet another target of the "woke" mob over false links to slavery.

In Scotland today there are 47,000 homeless, including 600 veterans, and a further 21,000 people in temporary accommodation. More than 330,000 people, including 24,000 disabled people, are on social housing waiting lists.
Housing in Scotland is in crisis and the SNP, as seems to be usual, appear to have no idea how to deal with the situation. The SNP recently cut £170 million from the housing budget for 2023/24, while increasing the money spent on housing "refugees".
In fact they their only idea around housing seems to be to make the situation worse by pushing for more Immigration to our nation and bringing thousands of "refugees" to Scotland. We are housing people from all over the world while our own people live on the streets.
Scotland needs a massive increase in the building of social housing. It also needs an end to the housing of "refugees".
Scotland needs a real nationalist alternative to the SNP. Patriotic Alternative is that alternative.

200 fighting aged-economic migrants given a hotel with swimming pool and fitness suite while nearly 400 Scots are homeless in Renfrewshire. That is shameful. We need a Patriotic Alternative.

While it is possible to sympathise with the Ukrainian refugees, it is correct that they are refused social housing.
Not just for the reason, stated by some sources, that being housed on the cruise ships means they are not homeless, but because with 47,000 homeless in Scotland and 330,000-plus on social housing waiting lists it is right that indigenous Scots are housed first.
No "refugee" or Immigrant, no matter where they are from, should be assigned social housing until all indigenous Scots on the waiting lists who have a genuine need for housing are housed.

200 Fighting-Age Migrant Men are due to be housed in the Muthu Glasgow River Hotel (formerly the Erskine Bridge Hotel).
There has been no local consultation - though local politicians admit they knew in advance. Local outrage is growing and Patriotic Alternative are lending our weight to the campaign.
We have had success in Yorkshire, Wales and elsewhere in stopping this madness. Not a single migrant should be housed while we have indigenous homeless on our streets.

An employee of the SNP-funded LGBT Youth Scotland, which works in Scottish schools, has been suspended while the police investigated allegations of sex abuse connected to the charity.
A man who was involved with the charity when he was 15 years old claims that he was given cigarettes and alcohol by the charity's employee, provided with a fake ID, then taken to adult gay venues where he was Introduced to men who went onto rape and sexually abuse him.
The Scottish Government is handing out taxpayers' money to charities that have safeguarding issues or which are, like the Mermaids trans charity, encouraging children to take part in harmful practices and giving them false information.
It is time that the SNP stopped funding these charities and held a review of whether they are fit to work in Scotland - the answer being that most are not.
Many of these charities are a danger to our children.

In yet another example of the Scottish Government talking a lot about our children being their priority but not actually doing anything, a youth centre that has served residents of Leith for 34 years has been allowed to fold after a lack of funding.
Pilmeny Youth Centre in Leith has been a vital resource for the local community, giving generations of children a safe space and lots of learning and recreational opportunities.
Allowing services like this to close along with the shambles the Scottish Government has made of education and children's mental health services, amongst other cuts, shows how little the SNP actually care about our kids.
A proper nationalist government would prioritise our children. It seems that the SNP are more interested in prioritising LGB and trans "rights" and refugees over Scottish children and their future

It appears that the Scottish justice system is holding "asylum seekers" to a different standard when it comes to sentencing for violent offences.
A Syrian "asylum seeker" in Inverclyde was convicted of making death threats to a man while walking towards him holding a knife, and throwing an item at a man which left him injured, the offence being religiously aggravated. The "asylum seeker" received a 12-month community payback order.
An indigenous Scot facing similar charges would face a very good chance of being jailed and would certainly receive more than a community payback order. But it appears the sheriff says that because the man is an "asylum seeker" and has allegedly had a "tough time" that he deserves different treatment and a softer sentence.
This man has show himself to be a danger to other people and to harbour religious hatred. This alone should make him ineligible for asylum to protect the Scots people.

PA Glasgow and West of Scotland branches spent this morning delivering 1700 leaflets in Erskine, Renfrewshire. It didn't take long for locals to mention the issue of the "Muthu Glasgow River Hotel" (formerly the Erskine Bridge Hotel) which is set to house 200 fighting age migrant males, with the first few of these now already in the hotel.
This plan was set in motion and carried out without the knowledge of the people of Erskine or its Community Council until just a week before the first group arrived.
We stand with the people of Erskine in their fight to keep their community safe and free of these migrants who have been forced onto the community without warning. Watch this space, we will be back.

The Scottish Prison Service have caved into pressure and "paused" the transfer of transgender prisoners while it conducts an "urgent review".
This only happened because the Scottish people spoke out after the transfer of violent rapists Adam Graham/Isla Bryson and Andrew Burns/Tiffany Scott were approved. Raise your voices people and take back your country. We can reverse this madness if we find our courage.

Yousaf (or "useless", as many in the political world call him) was a failure as justice minister. But failure in the SNP doesn't mean dismissal if you are a friend of Sturgeon, so he was moved to the health secretary job.
Yousaf has now shown how incompetent he is yet again, by gaining the accolade of being the worst health secretary as well.
Under Yousaf, A&E and cancer treatment performance had plummeted to record lows; waiting times were 100,000s higher than under his predecessors; delayed discharge is the highest ever on record; and there had been a sharp rise in NHS vacancies over 15 years, with the number currently at almost 8,000.
Though Yousaf needs to go, he is not the only failure. The SNP have been failing the people of Scotland on nearly every front and their time is up. Scotland needs a change of government.
Help us achieve that change, and play your part in making Scotland a better place.

Mark McGivern from the Daily Record called us a short time ago. They are running a story about Sunday's demo tomorrow (Wednesday). He admitted it would be baised against the demo because they have an agenda opposite to our local people first belief.
I advised him that PA are opposing the migrant hotel because we have supporters here who wanted our help. I informed him about our successes down south and that PA are happy to work with anybody in the community who is also opposed to the dumping of 200 fighting-age male migrants in Erskine.
Apart from a wee story in the Daily Record owned Paisley Daily Express six days ago the media have ignored the issue. National headlines in the Daily Record will likely be followed up in other media outlets and help us refocus the thoughts of the local politicans and those responsible for this mess.
Get the word out about the demo on Sunday. Share the hashtag #ErskineSaysNo across social media and let's make the decision makers think again!

Fed up with the state of the local area, one of our activists took it upon himself to do something about it and collected six bags of rubbish from one car park in an industrial estate.
