While the SNP claim to be fighting for the poor of Scotland and different from other main parties , it appears that they like every other party in the UK have their nose in the trough of exploting the public purse and taking lobbyists money.
Dr Lisa Cameron ,the SNP MP for East kilbride, Strathaven and Lesmahagow , has been on a total of 111 trips funded either by public money or by lobbyists, some of whom represent tax havens, large corporations and dictatorships.
While many of her constituents struggle to afford the basics and have no hope of ever having a holiday ,cameron jets around the world living in luxury.
The people of Scotland need to realise that the mainstream political parties, for all their claims to be fighting for the common man and woman , aren't and are just interested in power and their own enrichment .
The people need to wake up to alternatives to the old political system and that alternative is the Patriotic Alternative , a group that genuinely cares about our people.

Edinburgh University is being urged to review its "trans policy", with campaigners saying it is dangerous and that the University is not safe for women.
Edinburgh University's policy allows biological men to access women's single sex areas such as showers and changing rooms, with equality campaigners claiming it was influenced by trans lobby groups.
We are seeing this again and again, where the "rights" of a tiny minority are put before those of the general population and potentially leave them at serious risk of harm.
This madness has to stop.

On this day in 1648 the battle of Preston started Oliver Cromwell's New Model Army defeated the Royalist Army and the Scots Army under the Duke of Hamilton allied with the Royalists.
The Battle of Preston (17–19 August 1648), fought largely at Walton-le-Dale near Preston in Lancashire. The Parliamentarian victory presaged the end of the Second English Civil War.
Various attempts were made to raise the Royalist standard in Wales and elsewhere, but Preston was the death-blow to the Royalist hopes in the Second Civil War.
Cromwell estimated the Royalist losses at 2,000 killed and 9,000 captured. Those among the prisoners who had served voluntarily were bound for servile labour in the New World, and when there was no more demand there, for service in the Republic of Venice When the English Parliament decreed a day of thanksgiving for the victory, it was announced that Cromwell's army had "one hundred at the most" killed.

On this day in 1773 Samuel Johnson and James Boswell set out on their three month tour of the Highlands and Hebrides.
In 1773, Boswell enticed his English friend Samuel Johnson to accompany him on a tour through the highlands and western islands of Scotland. Johnson was then in his mid-sixties and well known for his literary works and his Dictionary. The two travellers set out from Edinburgh and skirted the eastern and northeastern coasts of Scotland, passing through St Andrews, Aberdeen and Inverness. They then passed into the highlands and spent several weeks on various islands in the Hebrides, including Skye, Coll, and Mull. After a visit to Boswell's estate at Auchinleck, the travellers returned to Edinburgh. Johnson published his Journey to the Western Islands of Scotland on 18 January 1775.
James Boswell, also kept a record of the trip, published in 1785 as A Journal of a Tour to the Hebrides. The two narratives are often published as a single volume.

The SNP super sponsor programme for Ukrainian refugees has turned into yet another fiasco. It appears that there is nothing that the SNP cannot mess up.
Sturgeon said Scotland would welcome uncapped numbers of Ukrainians and give them homes. Over 10,000 have arrived already and a further 20,000 have been given the right to come. Though Sturgeon, as she has with some many promises, has now gone back on that promise by ending the scheme, urging Ukrainians not to come or to sort out their own accommodation.
Those who are here are being dumped on ferries in Leith (and soon to be on the Clyde) which have been hired to accommodate several thousand people at a cost of up to £100 million.
Many Scots are homeless or on years-long waiting lists for their own house, but Sturgeon seems to care more about spending eye-watering amounts to house incomers in what appears to be some attempt to boost her own image as a world leader and human rights champion.

William Miller died on the 20th of August 1872. Miller was a Scottish poet best known for the nursery rhyme Wee Willie Winkie.
Miller, known as "The Laureate of the Nursery", was born in Glasgow and lived in Dennistoun, Scotland. He suffered from ill health and was unable to become a surgeon and instead took up woodturning and cabinet making. At the same time he began writing poetry and children's rhymes, mainly in the Scots language. His poetry was published in various works including the Whistle-binkie books.
In 1842, Whistle-binkie: Stories for the Fireside was published and contained the rhyme Wee Willie Winkie. The poem would go on to become known in other countries, in translation, and made Miller famous at the time.
In 1871, Miller's leg became ulcerated and he had to retire from cabinet making. The leg became infected and led to his death in 1872 aged 62. By then Miller was destitute and was buried at Tollcross. Later a memorial to Miller was erected on the Glasgow Necropolis.[

Scotland's children are already suffering a crisis in education. Now it looks like they will lose two days a week of in-school education. This can only make the situation worse. Even if the days that schools are closed are replaced by "virtual learning" this is not good enough. As we found during the government-enforced Covid lockdowns, many children do not fare well with virtual learning.
The Scottish education system used to be the envy of the world. Now it is a disaster for many children.
The so-called "Curriculum for Excellence" is anything but, and is unpopular not just with pupils but also with teachers. The SNP's much-vaunted program to close the attainment gap is another failure, with the gap actually widening. Then of course we have the issue that schools are being turned into camps to brainwash our youth into the latest "progressive" ideas, ideas that are having a negative effect on society.
It is easy to see why so many are now turning to homeschooling.

Alex Bell, a former special advisor to the SNP who was involved in negotating the last referendum, says that Sturgeon is playing political games and wasting time and money over her latest indyref bid.
Bell said that the Scottish Government had received clear legal advice that they did not have the right to hold a vote without UK government permission.
If this is true, Sturgeon is not only wasting money but is also betraying her supporters. The bid, Bell claims, is no more than a bit of political theatre to cover up her failure on the issue. Another failure in a long list of failures that have betrayed the future of our nation.
It's time that SNP supporters wake up and boot Sturgeon and her small clique of cronies out.

On this day in 1305 William Wallace was executed in London.
Wallace had evaded capture by the English until 5 August 1305, when John de Menteith, a Scottish knight loyal to Edward, turned Wallace over to English soldiers at Robroyston near Glasgow.
Wallace was transported to London and taken to Westminster Hall, where he was tried for treason and for atrocities against civilians in war. He was crowned with a garland of oak to suggest he was the king of outlaws. He responded to the treason charge, "I could not be a traitor to Edward, for I was never his subject.
Following a trial ,Wallace was taken from the hall to the Tower of London, then stripped naked and dragged through the city at the heels of a horse to the Elms at Smithfield.He was hanged, drawn and quartered—strangled by hanging, but released while he was still alive, emasculated, eviscerated and his bowels burned before him, beheaded, then cut into four parts. His preserved head was placed on a pike atop London Bridge

Oban's 'Pride' event has decided that as part of their "celebration" they would put on one of the disgusting drag queen story hours in September.
There has been a lot of opposition to these events south of the border. Argyll and Bute Feminists have raised objections to this event in Oban, pointing out, quite rightly, that drag is not meant for children and it presents a hyper-sexualised picture of women with many misogynistic elements.
Hopefully other local groups will raise objections to this event. The Council should not be allowing such an event to take place in a public building in the first place.
Our children need to be protected and allowed to enjoy their childhoods free from sexualised degeneracy forced upon them by adults.

The question the Scottish people need to ask of Sturgeon is: what is more important to her, the Scottish economy or raising her own media profile and getting yet more attention with Fringe appearances?
Sturgeon has attended the GERS (Government Expenditure and Revenue Scotland) report ever since coming to power but it now appears she has other priorities.
The report is important as it shows how much revenue has been raised in Scotland and how much expenditure the Scottish government has in the last year. It also shows the notional deficit or surplus that Scotland has in public finances. Though not an actual deficit or surplus it is an indicator of the financial health of our nation.
Obviously a third appearance at the Fringe is more important than how well - or badly - Scotland is doing. Hopefully the present state of the capital's rubbish-strewn streets will not interfere with her making her way to her Fringe appearance.

West Dunbartonshire has the highest rate of homelessness in Scotland. As it stands there are 1,404 people per 100,000 suffering from homelessness in the region, which includes sofa surfing as well as rough sleeping, compared to the Scottish average of 632 per 100,000.
At the same time as West Dunbartonshire is suffering a massive homelessness crisis,it is still offering homes to Afghan and Ukrainian refugees.
It appears that they're able to house incomers but not the indigenous population.

On this day in 1565 Mary, Queen of Scots led her forces out of Edinburgh at the start of what was know as the chaseabout raid.
The Chaseabout Raid was a rebellion by James Stewart, 1st Earl of Moray ( pictured above), against his half sister, Mary, Queen of Scots, on 26 August 1565, over her marriage to Henry Stuart, Lord Darnley. The rebels also claimed to be acting over other causes including bad governance, and religion in the name of the Scottish Reformation. As the government and rebel forces moved back and forth across Scotland without fighting, the conflict became known as the "chase about raid." Queen Mary's forces were superior and the rebel lords fled to England where Queen Elizabeth censured the leader.
Moray stayed in England at Newcastle over the winter and returned to Scotland on 10 March 1566. Mary had summoned him for trial, and David Rizzio had just been murdered. Moray was reconciled with Mary and back on the Scottish Privy Council by 29 April 1566
