I have some absolutely fucking incredible news to share with you all.

My most recent YouTube video looked to address a right-wing conservative group called The Falkirk Center - based on the campus of Liberty University.

https://youtu.be/s71YVI8ul6Y

As someone who was born in the actual town of Falkirk, I took this as a personal slight. They were misrepresenting Scotland’s history and stole my town’s name to prop up their shitty politics and I wasn’t having any of it.

During my research I found they kept referring to “Judeo-Christian Values” - a term they use to, ironically, erase Judaism and make themselves sound more inclusive than they actually were.

After asking some of you for your thoughts, it was clear “Judeo-Christian values” wasn’t a highly regarded term within Jewish communities.

By the looks of things, someone from the Falkirk Center has seen my video - because the Falkirk Center no longer exists.

Not only have they dropped the name and any reference to Falkirk from their website - but they’ve also stopped using the term “Judeo-Christian” - because it’s a meaningless term.

They’ve since rebranded as the “Standing for Freedom Center” which is just a wanky but I still think we did a good thing.

We fucking won.

I’m not seeing anything about this on social media. Certainly I don’t expect to see it covered by the mass media. This is truly something we need to fight back against. Even if you don’t have Comcast\Xfinity, please let your voice be heard.

Amidst a pandemic when we’re all trapped at home, when we’re working from home, schooling from home, and our only entertainment outlets are online, this is cruel and unacceptable. 1.2 terabytes might not be bad for an individual, but if you’re a household of 3 or more, this will be terrible for you.

Make some noise about this please!

The limits will take effect in March 2021.

In the early hours of Saturday morning we had what we thought was an injured haggis brought in, but after listening to the wee thing shouting 'fair fa' your honest sonsie face....... Wee sleekit cow'rin tim'rous beastie.... and 'some hae meat and canna eat' repeatedly for 2 hours, it was obvious he was suffering from severe burns. We started him on an irn bru intravenous drip, hot toddies, and shortbread fed little and often.

By Saturday night he was looking much better.

By Sunday morning he was starting to smile and looked like a totally different haggis.

By this afternoon he had finished the shortbread and the full bottle of whisky, was grinning from lug to lug and is completely away with the fairies. We hope to sober him up and release him onto the Lomonds tomorrow.

Pretty sad when people like to be judged of ithers! Especially when there is already so much crap. Truly sorry for all that’s going on with you and your family.

How did you get in my house?

[ayeforscotland]

The Tories now going full on anti-Gaelic.

Educate yourself on their arguments, and learn how to counter them.

[ro-zden]

So a political party wants to ban the native language of the country's pre-colonial peopleand culture, in favour of the language of the people who colonised them, arguing that it would harm academic achievements to just keep teaching both. That's... that's great. That doesn't remind anyone of the English effort to destroy Welsh culture (and their resistance to being colonised) by banning the use of Welsh in schools. That's not indicative of anything deeply worrying or anything. Great stuff.

[perfectcromulence]

God, what a horrible way to discover that there are such loathsome things as Scottish Tories. You learn something new every day and sometimes that thing sucks.

[ayeforscotland]

Technically they’re the tory party branch in Scotland. There’s no official ‘Scottish Conservative Party’.

Same goes for labour and LibDems as well.

[saga-stuff]

As an American, with no skin in the game, may I recommend to Scotland that you immediately PACK THE CONSERVATIVES UP AND SHIP THEM TO FINLAND BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE?

Look at the mess we're in!

[ayeforscotland]

Wouldn’t want to inflict that on Finland, wouldn’t mind catapulting them all into the sun though.

[slowdissolve]

into the North Sea ought to be far enough, honestly

[ayeforscotland]

That would endanger the sea life, can’t have that!

[thesilversun]

This, the general attitude of the Conservative party and the other discourse about Scottish independence I find worrying.

The Scottish parliament, as does the Welsh and NI assemblies, operates only at the continued good will of Westminster. It not a thing I thought I type, not when they have been in place now for more than 20 years. That the powers that they have can be given or taken away as Westminster see fit.

As with how they (the Conservative party) deal with anything they do not want they will underfund it and scapegoat it, tie it with rules that prevent it from doing what it needs to and then say how it’s not for purpose. Whether that was the coal mining industry, the railways, social housing or the NHS they use the same path.

Wonder if with the raft of new legislation that will surely follow in the wake of Brexit that Wales, Scotland and NI will see their powers limited, things that had been given to them brought back under Westminster control ostensibly as part of a need for cohesion in the face of a likely Brexit driven recession.

I hope my concerns are unfounded.

The UK’s future Prime Minister

The Scotch - what a verminous race!

Canny, pushy, chippy, they’re all over the place,

Battening off us with false bonhomie,

Polluting our stock, undermining our economy.

Down with sandy hair and knobbly knees!

Suppress the tartan dwarves and the Wee Frees!

Ban the kilt, the skean-dhu and the sporran

As provocatively, offensively foreign!

It’s time Hadrian’s Wall was refortified,

To pen them in a ghetto on the other side.

I would go further. The nation,

Does not deserve merely isolation

But comprehensive extermination.

We must not flinch from a solution.

(I await legal prosecution)

—————————————————————

That’s a poem published by Boris Johnson, most likely the future Prime minister of the UK.

It’s quite obvious that the “(I await legal prosecution)” line was an attempt to protect himself from being questioned about his attitude towards Scotland.

The ultimate line being “We both know it’s bad, therefore you aren’t allowed to take it seriously.”

However, while this poem was written years ago, it offered an early insight into the man who would go on to describe Africans as ‘Piccaninnies’ with ‘Watermelon smiles’, and describe women wearing burqas as ‘letterboxes’.

When questioned at his leadership challenge launch whether he stood by his letterbox comment, he said his supporters ‘liked how he spoke directly’.

So, given that he stands by his previous comments, what does that tell us about his poem?

EDIT: Poem was published, not written by Boris Johnson.
