On this day in 1941 the salvage crews that had been working on the wreck of the SS Politician, which had run aground of the Isle of Eriskay, left the ship and the locals moved in.
The SS Politician had a cargo including included 22,000 cases of malt whisky and £3 million worth of Jamaican banknotes. It became the inspiration for the 1949 Ealing comedy Film Whisky Galore after
much of the whisky was recovered by islanders from across the Hebrides, contrary to marine salvage laws. Because no duty had been paid on the whisky, members of HM Customs and Excise pursued and prosecuted those who had removed the cargo.
The goverment Considered taking goods from a wreck as theft but the islanders took a different view of salvage and considered that they did not "steal" any cargo from local wrecks, but instead talked of "saving" or "rescuing" it from the sea.They knew Politician had been abandoned by the owners and the salvage crews; one islander later told Swinson "when the salvors quit a ship—she's ours".

The people of Erskine were out again today to protest against the nearly 200 unvetted migrants being housed in the Muthu Glasgow River Hotel near the Erskine Bridge.
Locals were able to publicly speak in front of fellow residents, voicing their concerns about the safety of their community and the lack of information from local councillors, MPs, and MSPs.
These protests have been going steadily for a month and a half now and will continue to happen until this disastrous plan is scrapped.
Come and join us every Sunday at midday outside the Muthu Glasgow River Hotel in Erskine.

On this day in 1941, the first of two days of air raids on Clydebank took place.
As a result of the raids on the nights of 13 and 14 March 1941, the town was largely destroyed and it suffered the worst destruction and civilian loss of life in all of Scotland. 1,200 people died, 1,000 people were seriously injured, and hundreds more were injured by blast debris. Over the course of the two nights, a total of 439 Luftwaffe bombers dropped in excess of 1,650 incendiary containers and 272 tonnes of bombs. Out of approximately 12,000 houses, only eight remained undamaged— with 4,000 completely destroyed and 4,500 severely damaged. Over 35,000 people were made homeless.
Clydebank's production of ships and munitions for the Allies made it a target (similar to the Barrow Blitz). Major targets included the John Brown & Company shipyard, ROF Dalmuir and the Singer Corporation factory. RAF fighters managed to shoot down two aircraft during the raid, but none were brought down by anti-aircraft fire.

In another blow to the credibility of Sturgeon, her husband Murrell and the SNP, it has been reported that Murrell attempted to protect yet another gay predator within the SNP ranks.
Jordan Linden was leader of North Lanarkshire Council and an SNP councillor when he was accused of a sex attack on a 14-year-old, and other offences involving young men.
Tracy Carragher, who is now the SNP's North Lanarkshire group leader, spoke to Murrell then told colleagues at a meeting before the story broke that they must "support Jordan". Another councillor said she thought Linden had done nothing wrong.
Linden admitted wrongdoing and stood down as leader. However, he is still an SNP councillor, even after his admission and other claims being made about his sex pest behaviour.
The SNP are a disgrace. Their ranks are filled with sex pests and the party defends them. It is no wonder that the party is pushing more and more degeneracy on the Scottish people.

On this day in 1748 Field Marshall George Wade passed away.
The government sent Wade to inspect Scotland in 1724.He recommended the construction of barracks, bridges and proper roads to assist in the control of the country. On 10 May 1725, he was appointed Commander in Chief of His Majesty's forces, castles, forts and barracks in North Britain and was tasked with carrying out his own recommendations. Over the next twelve years Wade directed the construction of some 240 miles (390 km) of roads and 30 bridges (including the Wade's Bridge at Aberfeldy). General Wade's military roads linked the garrisons at Ruthven, Fort George, Fort Augustus, and Fort William.
Wade also organised a militia, "Highland Watches", and raised the first six companies in 1725 Also in 1725, Wade put down an insurrection after the government attempted to extend the "malt tax" to Scotland, and enraged citizens in Glasgow drove out the military and destroyed the home of their representative in Parliament.

Yousaf has suggested that all SNP candidates should be vetted before they are allowed to stand as a MSP or MP.
Fair enough, perhaps this would have stopped the SNP's gallery of fraudsters and sex abusers from becoming MSPs and MPs.
However, it seems that Yousaf is suggesting that anyone who opposes the SNP/Green "progressive" agenda would be barred from standing. If your religious views don't match the "progressive" wing, you will be barred. Traditional social views? You're out. Doubts over the "green" agenda? You're out. Concerned about immigration? You're out, and so on. So much for the democracy that the SNP claims to cherish.
Under Yousaf it looks as though the SNP will become even more unrepresentative of the Scottish public by pushing more wildly unpopular legislation such as the Gender Recognition Bill.
If you care about the future of your nation, why not get involved in a real nationalist group? Reject the fake nationalism of the SNP, and join up with PA.

In Govan alone, Elder was responsible for building Elder Park Library, a School for Domestic Economy, Cottage Hospital, the Cottage Nurses Training Home, and erecting a statue in honour of her husband John Elder. She also gave Elder Park to the people of Govan. Many of her philanthropic works are still open to the community today.
The University of Glasgow awarded Elder an honorary degree (LLD) in 1901. In December 2015, the University named a building after her.She is also commemorated on the University's Memorial Quincentennial Gates and in a memorial window in Bute Hall, titled The Pursuit of Ideal Education.

Nobody who has been involved in nationalism should be surprised to hear that fears have been raised over undue political influence in the actions of Police Scotland and that we could be potentially heading for a police state.
Colin McKerracher, who served for three decades in the former Strathclyde force before becoming chief constable of Grampian, has raised just such fears. He said, "My fear is that we move into a police state and I think what we have is already very unhealthy political interference just now".
The SNP have used the police against political opposition and seem to have influence that has caused investigations into the SNP, such as the missing six hundred thousand, to make no progress.
Scotland has become an authoritarian nation under the SNP, with them retaining powers they granted themselves under COVID one example of this. Both the Lord Advocate and Solicitor General of Scotland are SNP appointments.
Scotland needs change. Help us be the change.

Today is the anniversary of the death of Kriss Donald. A 15-year-old schoolboy who was abducted from Kenmure Street in Glasgow, brutally tortured and murdered by five Asian men in a racially motivated attack. When he asked why they chose to attack him, he was given the response that it was because he was a "White boy."
This is a time to remember Kriss, and all people whose lives were cut short by the disastrous multicultural experiment that is modern Britain.
It is also a time to remember that anti-White hatred kills, and that what we are fighting for is the safety of our own children and our own people.

The group Concerned Adults Talking Openly About Gender Identity Ideology were forced to raise £600 to employ security guards and call in the police when they arranged a meeting in Portobello Library in Edinburgh to discuss concerns over the teaching of trans ideology in schools.
Over 150 counter-protesters turned out to oppose the meeting, hurling abuse at those attending and creating what was described as a "hostile atmosphere".
The police had to step in and control who could enter the building after security guards had to remove counter-protesters who had tried to occupy the venue in order to cancel the event.
The Unison union and the local Green councillor also attempted to put pressure on the council to ban the meeting.
We are seeing a growing intolerance to free speech in our nation and this needs to be opposed. Join us in fighting to preserve free speech in Scotland.

On this day in 1935 John James Rickard Macleod passed away in Aberdeen.
Mcleod was a Scottish biochemist and physiologist. He devoted his career to diverse topics in physiology and biochemistry, but was chiefly interested in carbohydrate metabolism. He is noted for his role in the discovery and isolation of insulin during his tenure as a lecturer at the University of Toronto, for which he and Frederick Banting received the 1923 Nobel prize in Physiology or Medicine.
John Macleod was a distinguished physiologist even before the discovery of insulin. He was elected a member of the Royal Society of Canada in 1919 and president of American Physiological Society in 1921. In 1923, Macleod was awarded the Cameron Prize for Therapeutics of the University of Edinburgh. Among the recognitions he received after 1923 were memberships of the Royal Society and the Royal Society of Edinburgh, corresponding membership of the German Academy of Sciences Leopoldina and honorary membership of the Regia Accademia Medica.[

A few days ago we reported on allegations that Sturgeon's husband had been involved in attempting to cover up the sexual harassment carried out by the ex-Leader of North Lanarkshire Jordan Linden.
It appears that things have become too much for Linden and the SNP after the allegations were published, with it being reported that Linden has now quit as a Councillor and even left the SNP altogether.
Linden had been under pressure as further allegations had been made against him in the last few months.
There will now be a by-election in Bellshill. Let's hope that the people of Bellshill show their displeasure at the antics of the SNP and throw them out.
Patriotic Alternative Scotland is fighting to clean up politics in our nation and make sure our country is run by real nationalists, not the fake nationalists of the SNP.

Today in 1328 the treaty of Edinburgh Northampton was signed.
The Treaty of Edinburgh–Northampton was a peace treaty signed in 1328 between the Kingdoms of England and Scotland. It brought an end to the First War of Scottish Independence, which had begun with the English invasion of Scotland in 1296. The treaty was signed in Edinburgh by Robert the Bruce, King of Scots, on 17 March 1328, and was ratified by the Parliament of England meeting in Northampton on 1 May.
The terms of the treaty stipulated that in exchange for £20,000 sterling,the English Crown would recognise:
The Kingdom of Scotland as fully independent;
Robert the Bruce, and his heirs and successors, as the rightful rulers of Scotland;
The border between Scotland and England as that recognised under the reign of Alexander III (1249–1286).
One of two copies of the document, which was written in French, is held by the National Archives of Scotland in Edinburgh.

Yousaf has become a victim of his own controversial Hate Crime and Public Order Act that he forced through in 2021 in the face of much opposition.
Yousaf referred to double rapist Bryson as "not a genuine trans woman" and "at it". The person who reported him said they did so to hold Yousaf to the same standards as everyone else, to show how vague and ridiculous the law is and ultimately get it repealed.
Sadly, due to Yousaf's incompetence it is unlikely that we will see him in court. Although the Bill became law in April 2021, it is yet to come into force with Police Scotland, as Yousaf did not make sure they were able to Implement it and it is unlikely to be in force until next year.
PA Scotland has always opposed the bill and we would of course like to see it repealed - though it would be amusing to see Yousaf in court being tried under the act he was so desperate to bring in.

On this day in 1689 the Kings Own Scottish Borderers Regiment was raised by David Leslie, 3rd Earl of Leven to defend Edinburgh against the Jacobite forces of James VII. It's claimed that 800 men were recruited within the space of two hours. The regiment's first action was at the Battle of Killiecrankie on 27 July 1689. Although this battle was a defeat for the Williamite army, the Jacobite commander, John Graham, 1st Viscount Dundee (Bonnie Dundee), was killed by a volley fired by Leven's Regiment, bringing an end to James II's attempt to save his throne in Scotland. The regiment was judged to have performed well and was granted the privilege of recruiting by beat of drum in the City of Edinburgh without prior permission of the provost.
The King's Own Scottish Borderers Regimental Museum is located in Berwick Barracks, Berwick-upon-Tweed. Exhibits include uniforms, badges, medals, weapons and relics from different campaigns. Berwick Barracks is operated by English Heritage.

Murrell will be coming under more pressure as the SNP media chief resigns, basically saying that statements he was told to put out by Party HQ were lies.
Murray Foote, a veteran journalist, issued statements rubbishing reports the SNP had lost 30,000 members in just over a year - describing them as "rubbish" and "drivel". However, after days of pressure, the party confirmed the numbers on Thursday.
This, on top of the actually massive drop in party numbers and the loss of income this will cause, must put pressure on those in charge of the SNP.
It is becoming more and more obvious that the SNP is built on a culture of lies. Lying not just to the Scottish public but also to their own officials and members.
Latest analysis claims that the SNP are set to lose up to 14 MPs in the next general election. Let's hope so and get these liars out, although Labour gaining these seats is not much more desirable.
