@hightreebud @LoveWestLothian All teacher training for the last ten years at least has included belief in gender identity, and the right of schools to decide to trans a child. Safeguarding went our of the window then

[AyrshireAlba 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @AlbaAyrshire]

As with policing, also with teaching. Political Indoctrination runs right through our public services and institutions. How can good and competent people who think things through succeed in such environments? We're left with box ticking inhumanity and incompetence.

@NoLGBTYScharter @WingsScotland @Documark @TheParty1sOver Aye, but what's in her fund?

[Wings Over Scotland @WingsScotland]

Holy shit, Murrell’s got £613,000 in his pension fund. https://t.co/qZXgQwDldN

Craig Berry? Who is he? N ot someone who had anything to do with the “good guys campaign” I never even heard of him till he made himself an unofficial spokesperson for Alba and denigrated all the Alba members who actually were part of the good guys campaign when they were in SNP

[InJail @InJail4]

@PuppyMonsterBo1 @gracebrod1e @LindyLoo2020 @DougChapmanSCO @Craig_Berry_ I was just a lowly SNP grunt, and it was Denise who I recognised as the organiser for the campaign that gave many of us our last nugget of hope of turning things around.
That hope shifted to Alba and that too was misplaced, sadly.

[Gordon Millar @TheMcGreig]

I was there too and @gracebrod1e and @DavidDhenry are absolutely right. This is a complete rewriting of history by @Craig_Berry. The CWG slate was ineffective and all the hard work and organisation was done by Denise Findlay and her Good Guys campaign. And, interestingly enough, the opposition who didn't want change pretty much ignored CWG and focused on the Good Guys, something that I experienced personally.

[Denise Findlay 💚🤍💜 @gracebrod1e]

@DougChapmanSCO @Craig_Berry_ But it wasn’t Craig that ran the good guys campaign but all the guys are falling in behind his rewriting of history
This why I hate politics.

The proceeds of crime act should see Peter Murrell's fraudulently obtained art collection handed over to the National Galleries of Scotland for the nations enjoyment.

The centre piece of which is "The Derision of a Fallen Woman" by Italian Baroque artists Caravanaggio.

[Wings Over Scotland @WingsScotland]

15 months elapsed between Wings breaking the story of the missing fundraiser cash and Sean Clerkin making a formal police complaint about it. Tune in tomorrow for the full blockbuster story of why the SNP couldn't shut it down in the intervening time.

Artificial topiary balls, the whole Le Cruset collection, hand cream & £150 on a tea pot…

Not only did Nicola not see the motorhome, she didn’t see that her husband was a raging homosexual.

MANDELSON SCANDAL

No 10 braced for ‘excruciating’ revelations as Mandelson messages about to be released

People despair at the quality of governance in the UK countries, England in particular, but in one respect we are living through a golden age; if you are interested in contemporary political history, and learning about what actually happens at the heart of governments, you can now access the sort of information never available before.

Today, Westminster publishes information – running to three volumes, and more than 1,000 pages – containing the private messages Peter Mandelson exchanged with government ministers and officials when he was ambassador to the US, and before his appointment.

Last month a minister compared this to the evidence released as part of the Chilcot inquiry into the Iraq war. But the Chilcot inquiry took place in the era before WhatsApp, and it was publishing secret memos – intended for circulation within Whitehall.

WhatsApp messages are a lot more personal; reading them is like being able to eavesdrop on a private conversation, as followers of the vengeful 'Jigsaw Women' in Scotland are aware.

Mandelson is a man with spiky, controversial views, and a shady background, always on the lookout for financial enhancement, who loves gossip and plotting (he did a lot to undermine Scotland's rights), and whose private views don’t always accord with what he has said in public.

It should be fascinating. And it will knock Murrell off the front pages. Hurrah! The Beater will report soon as information is read.

Popcorn at the ready!

Nicola Sturgeon has updated her pronouns to him/not me

[Wings Over Scotland @WingsScotland]

Okay, so let’s get this clear.

Sturgeon visits mother-in-law “a handful of times”.

Maybe she doesn’t ever SEE the campervan as she arrives.

But not even ONCE does Ma Murrell say “Ooh, have you had a wee shottie in my Peter’s new campervan yet?”?

🧐

[Wings Over Scotland @WingsScotland]

You can’t blame it all on misogyny, Nicola

Revealing information in Sunday Times that Murrell & Swinney grew up together in Corstorphine, were both together in Boy’s Brigade and it was Swinney who appointed Murrell although he was already suspected of theft working for Salmond. “Honest” John has more questions to answer.
