The Moral Decline of Scotland Pace Quickens; Disgraced former SNP minister Derek Mackay sets up own consultancy firm after two years away from the public eye, allegedly his firm will teach people “management consultancy activities”, who would be his client base after his fall from grace, former SNP MSP Andrew Wilson of Charlotte Street Partners, a strategic communications consultancy, based in Edinburgh and London says Mackay should be given a shot at redemption, begs the question why isn't he giving him a job?









It is Friday and as the week draws to a close, the final SNP story is that disgraced former SNP minister Derek Mackay sets up own consultancy firm. As I have previously mentioned the SNP is made up of four main groups, LGBT, Muslim, Sein Fein lite and the Rich. In fact, the overall control of the party is controlled by the embedded LGBT group. They are at every level of the party acting as gatekeepers for Nicola Sturgeon, it is a nasty vicious clique operating in Scottish politics. Earlier in the week, I blogged on ex SNP Health Sec Jeane Freeman, another member of the SNP LGBT clique who has now been given at job at Glasgow University at the age of 68 years old. The title which Freeman has been given is the equivalent of the same contrived nonsense that the SNP gave to Scottish Greens Minister Patrick Harvie. The one person who links all these people together, is Nicola Sturgeon, the SNP leader. It was Sturgeon who was keen to promote LGBT very publicly into her inner circle and Cabinet, not just to support her but also to promote her, and their agenda. 

On twitter and elsewhere, there has been continued speculation regarding the marriage of Nicola Sturgeon and Peter Murrell, as well as their sexuality. Personally I don't know or care if Sturgeon is allegedly a lesbian, or if her marriage is allegedly fake, or why she surrounds herself with a LGBT clique. What people do know is that she is, fully signed up to the agenda to promote an LGBT lifestyle to children in schools, She is signed up to the Trans agenda. Sturgeon is signed up to that agenda to change the Gender Recognition Laws. This allows men to identify as women, and to allow them, access women's personal spaces such as toilets and female changing rooms. One thing that you would have noticed is that Nicola Sturgeon doesn't take a lead in promoting the LGBT agenda. Although she does attend Pride Marches as a PR media managed stunt to show that she is inclusive. What the SNP have done to limit bad PR on the issues of sexualisation of children and trans rights is remove her from the frame and insert John Swinney to run with the ball. John Swinney is the Education Minister, he is also what I term an "enlightened heterosexual", he is the point man for Nicola Sturgeon. You might ask why him, well you might assume this is because he is married to a woman, and has a kid, Sturgeon although married has no kids. Even mainstream media highlights the existence of the LGBT clique in the SNP.

Given the fight over the Gender Recognition Act, you can see why Nicola Sturgeon and her clique put LGBT Green MSP Patrick Harvie into her Cabinet. This is because down the line the SNP will have majority support. Nicola Sturgeon and her advisors will spin erasing women as not an SNP LGBT agenda but as the 'will of parliament'. I would imagine that come the vote for the Gender Recognition Act to be passed, Sturgeon will say this will be a "free vote" where MSPs vote with their conscious. It will be spun as a victory for civil liberties with Nicola Sturgeon surrounding herself with 'bought and paid' women's groups funded by the SNP government. Some members of the LGBT community are rightly appalled by what is going on, so much so they have setup an organisation LGB Alliance, because they recognise that the decades of progress made on LGBT rights will in the minds of the public be wiped out. If Sturgeon gets her way, a man born male can call himself a woman, simply  walk into a female changing room, strip naked in front of women and young girls, and display their penis. In normal times, if a man walked into a women's changing room and walked about naked, the police would arrest him and he would face a criminal trial. Under the SNP, the police instead of arresting him would protect him from angry women and label them as the 'victim'. What would you think if a guy who claimed to be a woman pulled his dick out in front of your 8 year old daughter? Would you be understanding? Would you be tempted to say anything? Would you just keep your mouth shut because of fear of getting a criminal conviction? Here is a snapshot of what is in store for women once Nicola Sturgeon and her LGBT group who control the levers of power change the law. This story is recent, some people might say this is a scare story, but it isn't, its truth. 

https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/scot-flashed-penis-used-sex-26256211         

A person who some people describe as a Scotsman flashed their penis and used sex toy in public leaving onlookers shocked. The former soldier was previously placed on the sex offenders' register for assaulting an underage girl. There is another story which made the press in a spectacular fashion from the US. A young boy claim to be a woman rape a young girl at a school in a bathroom. What makes this even worse is that cops to arrested the father after he complained at school board meeting. Later on Police in Loudoun County revealed the same boy who allegedly raped the young 15 year old girl was arrested in October for a different alleged assault. Now, he is in juvenile detention, awaiting a court date on multiple charges. This is a taste of what Nicola Sturgeon's over inflated ego might bring to Scotland, and like most politicians whose policies result in harm, she won't have any time to speak to the press, her advisors will shield her as they already do. Over the years you will have noticed a decline in Nicola Sturgeon's meet the people events, what she tends to do now is limit the public's access to facing off directly against her. Did you notice the shift to stage managed events and interviews? At election time she still has to go do the 'show face' but in the past I know the SNP like to do so to targeted SNP supporters/ members to give the impression that the warm response to her is from the general public. The SNP have a database not just of members but also members of the public who are minded to support the SNP. However that database may prove worthless if there is no indyref 2 and indy voters drift to Alex Salmond's Alba Party. Alba's stand on women's rights is 180 degrees to the stance of the SNP, I would put this down to a lack of LGBT members. 

One person particularly close to Nicola Sturgeon was former LGBT SNP minister Derek Mackay. It was said that Mackay was tipped as Nicola Sturgeon's replacement once Sturgeon stepped down. However Mackay, the rising star flamed out when it was discovered that he pestered a young boy of 16 years old and the parliament turned on him. As the parliament had turned on Mark McDonald , another SNP Minister in Sturgeon's Cabinet over an alleged sex scandal, the convention had already been set. The extend of what some MSPs termed 'grooming' of a 16 year old boy sealed Mackay's fate. When the scandal broke in February 2020 on the eve of the Scottish Budget in Holyrood, Mackay disappeared from Holyrood never to be seen again but didn't resign his seat and kept collect his salary, including a payday for leaving as a Minister from allowances. The SNP kept quiet, much is in the same as the are keeping quiet about the allegations of sexual harassment against SNP MP Patrick Grady who had been accused of inappropriate behaviour towards two male researchers at the SNP’s Christmas party at the Phoenix Artist Club in London in December 2016. He has not been suspended as an MP or SNP member, on his wiki page, his personal life is more or less a blank. Although the SNP claim to take complaints of sexual harassment seriously, they are slow to act against allies of Nicola Sturgeon. Grady isn't listed on wiki as a "gay" MP, In the SNP it isn't unusual that LGBT members mask their true sexuality from the public. This is what happened with Derek Mackay, he was previously married with children. When Mackay betrayed his wife and kids, the SNP effectively painted her and the kids out of the picture very quickly. 

So, we have Derek Mackay who has popped up like a cork in the bath to setup a consultancy firm two years after he left politics in disgrace. The question is who would want to use his services when he such a documented history of poor professional and personal judgment. Who is willing to pay to use his new venture Lochan Associates Ltd and his alleged expertise to allow him to conduct “management consultancy activities"? Already we have seen people like Andrew Wilson, former SNP MSP who works with Charlotte Street Partners say that Derek Mackay should be given a shot at redemption. Just recently Nicola Sturgeon jumped into the pile on regarding a footballer called David Goodwillie, over his past, I assume this was more to do with her reaching out to women to repair her tarnished self image with women that she is some sort of 'protector' of them. Too many people, it seems redemption seems to be limited to people like Derek Mackay and Patrick Grady who are close to Nicola Sturgeon, everyone else, fuck them, shove them in the fire. I have been talking about the moral decline of Scotland, double standards and the general lack of ethics within Scotland's political class. Why should people rally round someone like Derek Mackay, his betrayal getting caught bombarded a 16-year-old schoolboy with messages, including calling him "cute" and inviting him to dinner wasn't his first rodeo. He betrayed his wife and kids, he hung out and socialised with criminals, he refused to attend parliament but took his salary and expenses, including an automatic grant of £11,945 for “loss of ministerial office”. 

One of the things I welcome is that the Scottish Conservatives are now consulting on a new law that would allow MSPs to be removed from office. The Removal from Office and Recall Bill would see MSPs automatically dismissed if they failed to take part in Holyrood proceedings for more than six months without a valid reason. I would like to see a recall mechanism so that the public can have a say in removing MSPs, I would also like to see the list system abolished entirely and every seat of the 129 seats in Holyrood made first past the post. 

Scottish Conservative MSP Russell Findlay said: 

“After shamelessly milking every last dime from Scottish taxpayers since his downfall, Derek Mackay's legacy is likely to be a new law being brought forward by the Scottish Conservatives that will allow rogue MSPs to be sacked. Perhaps the supposed one-time first minister in waiting hopes to exploit his SNP connections to continue gorging on public funds.

But all public bodies have a responsibility to adhere to the rules and not treat him any differently to others seeking to get a foot in the door.” 

Finally ex politicians' setting up consultancy firms isn't new, many former MPs and Ministers have previously done this, even ex Labour Council leader Steven Purcell. Purcell who like Mackay, LGBT and tipped as a "rising star" had a fall from grace in the Labour Party which was equally dramatic. In many ways, the SNP and Labour Party are a mirror image of each other which is why people like ex SNP Health Minister Jeane Freeman can have a seamlessly transition from one party to the other. Russell Findlay flags up his concerns that Derek Mackay after laying low for two years wants to make a comeback. After all Mackay can't have failed to notice that people like Patrick Grady who is close to Sturgeon is still allowed to operate with no restrictions. If there is a boundary change for the 2024 election which might happen by all accounts given that the Boundary Commission of Scotland has already redrawn new boundaries, Grady could just disappear as an MP. He no doubt would resurface rather quickly I suspect, perhaps in the SNP Government or an SNP funded NGO, who knows maybe he would be allowed to be a special advisor to an SNP Minister. The SNP seem to think that the public don't notice what is going on, they do, they don't however speak out which is perhaps the biggest failure of our democracy, bad people like Mackay, Grady, Freeman and Nicola Sturgeon are allowed to roam about living the high life when they should be booted out of public life an received a life time ban from ever being allowed near it.

  1. I cannot help but hope that the government in Westminster actually have the dirt on Sturgeon and her extra marital activities.
    To he question is: how bad do things in Scotland need to get before they pull the trigger and release the information to the MSM?
    Sadly I suspect we will have to wait a while longer to establish who the first minister was visiting in Portugal over the Christmas break, whilst her government were frightening the general public with dire predictions of the Omicron variant.
    The nationalists do face a bit of a dilemma re Indyref2. Johnson won't sanction it with a section 30 and Sturgeon won't risk her political security by calling a Catalonia type poll.
    As the wheels continue to fall off almost all aspects of state run enterprises north of the border perhaps information a deep throat scenario will not be necessary.

    1. I doubt very much whether anyone at Westminster wquld make any remark on the sexuality of Sturgeon and Murrell, except possibly under Parliamentary Privilege. However, they must have a fair idea of her financial mismanagement and misdeeds, and most certainly possess evidence to shut her down when the moment is right. Perhaps that moment would be the day after she announces a wildcat referendum?

  2. Shocked to learn you would like all 129 seats,first by the post. The only reason I can think of you wishing an 80%+ SNP Scottish parliament is that your desire for Scottish Independence did not die in 2012/13. I started following your blogs in recent years but over time read most of your blogs from early years but read nothing about your transition from Independence to unionism. I cringe when you align with the left wing of the Labour party when your views/writings are actually Conservative centre left but some are far to the right. Sorry to appear critical but love your blogs,knowledge and daring to tread where few dare. The D'Hondt system is the only way to give a voice in Scottish parliament to voters who are anti-SNP/Independence. Pity it lets Greens in through the back door.

  3. Dear Ellie,

    While the list system exists, it is undemocratic, it also doesn't put pressure on unionist parties to get active because the leadership know that they are getting elected regardless. Forcing them to evolve is I would suggest the only way that the SNP can be defeated. Yes, this would involve short pain. I know this, but if the strategy is to simply wait till the SNP lose popularity (due to their election bribes), you will be waiting for decades. It is like flooding in your house, you can let continue of fix it by shutting off the water for everything. Finally, I would say that everyone has left and right wing views, so if I said to you do you believe in the welfare state, you would on principle say yes, if I said do you believe in policing you would say yes. I see left and right as a redundant term, because no one is all left or right in their views. I don't wish any SNP in any seat, but like child birth with its joy, you accept pain as part of the solution. While there is no pressure on unionist leaders they will not evolve.
