@Englishremnant Scottish is its own ethnicity and its own culture. British is a made up identity.

@basedandbougie 52% voted for Brexit for immigration reasons with a fairly well appreciated understanding it was going to cause economic harm.

I’m all for the English not being demographically replaced in their own homeland… it is wrong and should not be happening. However, I think the Restorians need to leave this fight for reform. Saying you don’t mind seeing your people economically deprived … whilst also claiming to care for your people is insaneeee😭 It is painful watching the Restorians constantly humiliate themselves online because they don’t have any verbal discipline? Now they are being annihilated and outsmarted by Lefty Lunatic Femi. This is becoming a humiliation ritual

@FUDdaily I've lost track of what it is you support.

This is a fair criticism. I had reservations about joining the Homeland Party, but I shared Kenny Smith's sincere ambition to build a "sensible nationalism" given the lack of a party with a coherent stance on immigration. I believed I could help shape that. You have to join a party to be part of its internal conversation. I gave them the benefit of the doubt, despite my reservations - which were all documented on my Substack. My conscience is clean. This was before Steve Laws completely unmasked himself. I overlooked much on the assumption that most of it was tongue-in-cheek, with view to shifting the Overton window. Over time it became abundantly clear that the foaming antisemites were absolutely serious. This is pretty much what prompted my withdrawal. As much as I detest antisemitism, it is also the most reliable indicator of crankery that wrecks a party. The party had a pretty decent model for its ideology, which I could just about live with, but ultimately, people like Steve Laws and his fellow e-celebs decided it wasn't extreme enough - and didn't qualify as a proper nationalist party unless it was explicitly antisemitic and intent on deporting everyone with brown skin - which was not Homeland policy at all. They decided to blow up Homeland because they thought they could achieve more by standing on bridges with banners and putting stickers on lampposts. Having made themselves politically homeless, destroying something that had momentum, they've since latched on to Restore Britain, ignoring the views of its own leader because Restore is their last chance saloon, exploiting the fact that sleepy-Joe Lowe will turn a blind eye to them. They will wreck Restore in the same way, for the same reasons, and Restore has no immunity to it because it has no intellectual foundation. It's just another slopulist party like Reform, but unlike Reform, doesn't have the good sense to maintain a cordon sanitaire with the pathologcal losers of the far right.

@megha_lilly Emiratis are untouchable. They can report any foreigner for doing something they don't like and they will be deported. The courts are extremely tough on crime, no juries. Jails are horrific. Democracy and human rights acts do not allow a society to be kept so safe in this manner.

I lived in a Muslim country for three years and much of the population around me were Europeans with small children looking for a safe & wholesome place to raise them. Despite social media appearances, much of the UAE is comprised of families with small children. The public spaces are packed with toddlers, many of them Europeans. How can a Muslim country be safer for European children than their own homelands? Because the west refuses to punish violent criminals. The Arabic countries are not afraid to be perceived as “mean” by criminals and their sympathizers. The west destroys itself because it is too afraid of being accused of bs labels such as racism or “Islamophobia”.

Let’s compare what Scottish Minister Humza Yousaf said about the Charlie Hebdo massacre to what he’s saying today. Notice anything?

@Heccles94 Nah, this is a result of the government failing to protect Scots. Completely ignoring it and saying anyone that mentions it is whipping up divisions.

These is horrific and terrifying. This is what happens when dangerous extremists like Rupert Lowe and Nigel Farage are allowed to mainstream Islamophobic hate on a daily basis.

@mehdirhasan @ShehabKhan There have been equivalent attacks on Scots that have received far, far less coverage than this one has. Why is that?

"Why Does a Suspected Anti-Muslim Attack Barely Make the News?" Zeteo UK's @ShehabKhan on the double standards from politicians & the media when it comes to attacks on Muslims. No front page headlines on Edinburgh; no Cobra meeting; no sustained outrage. zeteo.uk/p/why-does-a-s…

@bellacaledonia This happened on the VERY SAME DAY in Edinburgh. The Edinburgh attacker said why he did it. While his actions were completely wrong and misguided, the fact he stated was correct. He wasn't shouting misinformed propaganda.

The terrible events in Edinburgh have a background in the complete normalisation of fascism, racism and Islamophobia for which the media have responsibility | Why do you like Yachts? bellacaledonia.org.uk/2026/03/17/why…

@edinburghpaper No place for this either. Sentenced in Edinburgh earlier on the same day this man went on a rampage. "Shop owner raped girl, 15, after supplying her with alcohol & vapes. Asief Anwar groomed 3 different teenage girls & supplied them with vapes". #Echobox=1781883896" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">news.stv.tv/east-central/s…

@JohnSwinney You say NOTHING when every single day a news story is published about sexual violence by New Scots. You say NOTHING when Old Scots are violently attacked by New Scots. If you did, people would be assured the government is dealing with it and wouldn't do very bad retaliations.

🧵 There is no place for race-based or faith-based violence in Scotland. My thoughts are with all who have been impacted by the appalling violence on Friday - the victims but also the communities who are understandably anxious by what happened.

How much more of this are the Scots expected to put up with? news.stv.tv/east-central/s…

@Davo_Mack @JohnSwinney @StephenFlynnSNP @theSNP There's Westminster elections to be won don't you know? They're determined to win those back!

Since the huge independence majority was delivered at the 2026 Scottish Elections we’ve had no progress on independence, what’s the latest? we need to get a move on @JohnSwinney @StephenFlynnSNP @theSNP

“writes Equalities Minister Simita Kumar” Who’s about as Scottish as a Salwar Kameez and Diwali fireworks. There is no “New Scots”. You can’t just show up and fucking cosplay being an ethnic Scot anymore than I can move to fucking Deli and claim to be Indian. This shite has to stop.

@ScotNational A NEW Scot is quite literally not particularly of the fabric of the nation. They are a person who arrived here recently.

New Scots make an important contribution to Scotland’s diversity – they are part of the very fabric of who we are as a nation, writes Equalities Minister Simita Kumar ✍️

Note how different the language is in this case. Freely discussing motive, no 'don't look back in anger', no 'part and parcel of living in a big city', no 'mental health', no 'you ain't no true Scotsman bruv', promises of swift and severe punishment.

@SteveSayersOne Nowhere near as simple as leaving meant being better off to the sum of the contribution to the EU budget though. Many benefits were forfeited and economic harm accepted. People chose more sovereignty, as is their right. That's the similarity.

Really? We (our UK) is an independent country/state with our own currency & economy / the EU is a club of states - I’m sorry, but there is ZERO similarity between Brexit & Scexit - we were net contributors to the EU - not like Scotland, we are massively financially supported by our UK

Hmm, don’t hold your breath…. Scexit will never happen in the next 100 years if ever. Overall polls have been stuck at 44-47% Yes for over a decade with no sustained majority. Young voters (16-34) poll strongly Yes (~55-65%), but older Scots (55+/65+) are HEAVILY No -?and they actually turn out to vote. Going forward, Scotland’s demographics make it even more impossible: record-low fertility with births at historic lows, deaths outnumbering births, and a rapidly ageing population with far more older people and fewer young ones incoming. The pro-indy cohort shrinks while the reliable No base grows. Westminster has zero reason to budge without overwhelming cross-age support which without a peer reviewed logical economic plan you’ll never get, the structural deficit funded by our UK (mostly English) taxpayers is essential to our current spending. Generational fantasy on a dying demographic trend.

@Liam_Holman99 He condemned and the police cracked down on all protests. People standing in town centres or outside Downing Street were labelled far right. As usual they failed to say the expected thing - the state failed and we will do everything we can to ensure it never happens again.

When Southport happened, I was angry and demanded justice AND I was affronted by the rioting and incitement of violence. A lot of people feel like Starmer was talking about them when he condemned the far-right. If they feel represented by rioters, that's on them.

The means testing of winter fuel allowance set a tone, even after the government changed the terms, and that also set the tone of u-turns, even though it was a compromise. After watching Clarkson's Farm, I think the inheritance tax was probably too stringent.

@cautiousdave Those people would rather it happened to their daughter than be labelled racist. You can't reason with them. Stop caring what they think.

All you cunts who either call or imply I’m a racist please watch this. Could this wee lassie be YOUR daughter, sister or pal? Does she look like a far right supporter? Wake up.

@AmjidSNP @Nigel_Farage @TRobinsonNewEra What is violence and sexual violence against native Scots a direct result of? Whose rhetoric?

Disgusting and vile attack targeting #Muslims in #Edinburgh. The is the direct result of divisive rhetoric from @Nigel_Farage, @TRobinsonNewEra & #Reform. #scotland #farright #Islamophobia #muslimhate

@MothinAli Are you politicising a tragedy?

Reform, Restore et al have been inciting hatred and this is the consequence. And where are the speeches from ministers saying how laws need to be changed, marches need to be stopped and phrases need to be banned.

@ClaireCoutinho Scotland should be like Norway!

Kemi Badenoch declared that the Aberdeen South by-election was going to be a referendum on our oil and gas industry. The election of the Conservative candidate Douglas Lumsden – on almost 50% of the vote – proved her right. Douglas has spent two decades working in the oil and gas industry, so he knows more than most what is at stake because of Labour’s ban on new licences and the crippling taxes they are imposing on the sector. We are losing a thousand jobs a month as Labour’s policies take their toll. Families are making the agonising calculation of whether to uproot and move abroad, or stay and watch as the industry that built their city is suffocated by a government that has decided it is worth sacrificing on the altar of Net Zero. Aberdonians can see that just on the other side of the North Sea, the Norwegian oil and gas sector is thriving. Norway is drilling new wells, reopening old fields, and making new discoveries – including some which butt right up against the border they share with us. Only someone as deluded as Ed Miliband could think that oil and gas deposits respect geopolitical borders drawn down the middle of the North Sea. The truth is that none of this matters to Ed. He doesn’t care about the thousands of people who are losing their jobs, or the fact that we are becoming more dependent on foreign imports with higher emissions and harming our economy. He doesn’t engage with any of the arguments. He is much more comfortable repeating tired old slogans about 'climate leadership' and 'green jobs’. This is an ideological crusade and nothing will make him admit he is wrong. Which is why the result in Makerfield should concern us as much as Aberdeen encourages us. Andy Burnham is now in Parliament – and the job destroyer-in-chief is reportedly set to be rewarded with a promotion to Chancellor. Given the damage he has already done to Aberdeen and other vital industries like refining, chemicals, and ceramics, the prospect of Ed Miliband being put in charge of the British economy should fill every family with dread. The result in Aberdeen South was a vote to return to energy realism. It was a vote to end Labour’s mad ban on new licences, scrap the taxes that are crippling the industry, and to finally give the go-ahead to the Rosebank and Jackdaw oil and gas fields that have been sat on Ed Miliband’s desk gathering dust for a year. That is the argument that Douglas will make as he takes his seat in Parliament this week, and it is the argument that the Conservatives will continue to make at every opportunity.
