The Cult of St. Nicola

The Cult of St. Nicola

The camera shakes. A young child comes into view, the first of many, their gleaming eyes open and eager. They start talking in the coached manner of totalitarian regimes:

The children of North Korea would like to say ‘thank you’ to our Dear Leader. We are so grateful, thank you for always keeping us safe, working so hard, for being strong for us. Thank you for caring for every individual life and for always thinking about the children. Thank you, Dear Leader, thank you, thank you, thank you….

#5. The Sun pulled an article about the Health Secretary’s complacency…during a pandemic

Despite being months into the Coronavirus pandemic crisis, when frontline workers are still not being routinely tested and PPE shortages are still troubling, the Scottish Health Secretary, Jeane Freeman, had time in her schedule to tweet she would chase up ASDA for Nationalist journalist Angela Haggerty’s groceries.

This, rightly, attracted much scorn and derision. The Sun ran a perfectly legitimate article, which they then deleted, leaving little trace that this story ever existed - an airbrush job the Ministry of Truth would be proud of.

Nicola Sturgeon: Bigotry in a Smart Suit

Nicola Sturgeon: Bigotry in a Smart Suit

Yesterday, I was talking to a female ex-Labour supporter, and new Nationalist. While claiming she was 'for social justice', she said that she was all for anyone being Scottish, except for JK Rowling. When I asked why, she told me that Rowling should be excluded because of her political views.

Whatever you think of Ms Rowling, or transgender activism, this woman, who presumably thinks she is a decent person, told me straight up that someone with a different political opinion from her has no place in Scotland.

#5 She deprived 300,000 children of their new hospital


Edinburgh's new Sick Children's Hospital was supposed to open at the end of 2012.  You didn’t misread that: it's just one example of the level of incompetence we must live with under the SNP in Scotland.

The project has been so delayed it has even outlived three previous health secretaries who were looking after it, making Jeane Freeman the fourth.  I hear you all breath sighs of relief at that...

Why I'm Not A "Unionist"

Why I'm Not A "Unionist"

One of the main techniques extremist groups like Nationalists use to make themselves appear normal is to label their opponents something they would like them to be and then attack that label.

By labelling their opponents as “Unionists” or “Yoons” they associate them with Union Jacks, British bulldogs, Churchill, and The Queen.

(Of course the Union that the Nationalists almost always imagine is English — they never include Northern Ireland or Wales, or the Scottish people who are part of Britain.)
