Truly Insidious, the true history of the Scottish National Party, victimisation is how they run their party, and alleged victimhood is their cover for abuse, SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon is the poisonous spider who sits at the centre of the SNP web of hate, Sturgeon's praetorian guard is a nasty vicious subsection of the lgbt community in Scotland, do you have something to tell us Nicola?

Dear All 

It has been a hugely interesting past week in the world of politics and scandal. And, it seems to be all centred around sex, sexuality and the denial of truth. So, what has been happening? What appears to be the juicy bits that you should clock, what are the bits that make you sit up and take notice? I like to be entertaining on the blog, and also to be factual, after all a 'dry' blog can be like a text book, it serves a purpose but rarely does it make for a good page turner. I have decided to do a bit of SNP history, and ask you to see if you agree that it ties into my theory that the Scottish National Party is in fact controlled by an lgbt faction. These are the people who hold key positions and influence in the movement. So, here are some things which caught my eye which I suggest better explain what the SNP has developed into. These are my personal picks which you might find helpful to explain what is going on, not just at present but also a look into the past. The corruption in the SNP doesn't start at the Salmond scandal, you have to look past that even while Salmond held the leadership. So, let's cover my four points of interest. 

1/ The Salmond Inquiry into Nicola Sturgeon and the SNP is a farce, because they wouldn't look at his evidence. 

2/ Allegations emerge that SNP MP Patrick Grady sexually harassed men, not just men but young men. 

3/ It is alleged that Alex Salmond told Nicola Sturgeon about the activities of Patrick Grady over three years ago. 

4/ A former campaign manager for Angus Robertson for Deputy leader of the SNP is charged and appeared at Edinburgh Sheriff Court. 

So, before, we get started, I would like to take you back in time to Saturday, May 26, 2012 in what was a significant post on my blog. 

http://glasgowunihumanrights.blogspot.com/2012/05/braveheart-alex-salmonds-indy-launch.html 

This blog attracted the wrath of the SNP as I dared to criticise their Scottish Independence launch in Cineworld in Edinburgh. I likened the entire event to the BBC TV show, 'It ain't half hot Mum, you maybe not familiar with this vintage TV show. It's based on an idea of a group of squaddies who put on variety shows for troops during WW2 in Burma. It was a massive comedy because of the writing and the cast, who 'hammed' up their performances as if they were really playing on the London stage. Here is a clip to remind you of the show: 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAL9HG2p98g 

When I wrote my article of May 26, 2012, I wrote the article based around that show and compared it to the SNP launch of the 2014 indy campaign which took place in Cineworld in Edinburgh. Just like the concert party, I ran through the Edinburgh cast list which I wrote about as they "all trooped on stage at Cineworld at Fountainbridge in Edinburgh to voice their support rather like a badly organised concert party in ‘It Ain't Half Hot Mum’." 

So, clearly you can see, I was comparing the SNP launch with the BBC TV show. I also wrote about others who appeared at Edinburgh Cineworld. I blogged: 

"As Alan Cummings took to the stage, he was joined by an odd assortment of characters.
Brian Cox stole the show as I understand it by ranting. The “important” and rich people who are completely meaningless to the ordinary working class people of Scotland, this was their day with Alex Salmond. The poet Liz Lochhead, singers Dougie MacLean and Lou Hickey and names from the past including former MSP Dennis Canavan and union leader Tommy Brennan!"

Do you recognise anyone I have listed as lgbt other than Alan Cummings? Because I don't, other than Patrick Harvie who's face appears in the picture with Salmond for the article, and whom, I didn't even think was worth mentioning. One of my many points in that article was to expressly state, this wasn't a launch for ordinary people, but rather a launch for “important” and rich people. It was overhyped, and badly produced, it was like the BBC TV show, ‘It Ain't Half Hot Mum’ except the BBC actors deliberately played their characters as odd, whereas the 'Fountainbridge Follies' were in their natural state! I finished my article by writing: 

"The launch of the 'Yes’ campaign was a strangely underwhelming affair. Let’s hope that the ‘It Ain't Half Hot Mum’ concert party don’t get taken on the road otherwise some people won’t even get a nickel for their mother!" 

After I trashed the launch as a current SNP Member, the SNP in an act of revenge decided to take part of what I wrote out of context which was: 

"Rather than 'The A Team' it looked more like 'The GAY Team' in nature." 

The SNP then implied that I was homophobic, which set the stage for a 'rigged' hearing. As people know the SNP stitch people up. It took the Alex Salmond scandal to reveal to the wider world what they were really like. Prior to Salmond's victimisation, the press didn't really care about SNP victims of any description. The well oiled SNP machine smeared people, bullied people and had little helpers to spread their message to others. The person who complained about my post was someone called William Henderson, he was also the National Secretary of the SNP at that time. Henderson organised the hearing against me, he was also talking to the judges outside the process which was a clear violation of my Article Six human rights. I regardless of what I was accused of, I was entitled to a fair hearing under due process. When I complained about what Henderson was doing, the SNP did nothing, so I had a choice, I could keep quiet or expose them. I decided to expose them, so I took their letters and walked into the Daily Record and gave them the whole story. I did so because I knew they would publish it, and it was important to me to expose Henderson. In Scotland, there is a type of behaviour from a person who is wronged called 'Fuck you', this was my 'Fuck you' moment to the Scottish National Party. Call me old fashioned! 

After, I exposed William Henderson, he stepped down. 

Rather than investigate what happened to me, and who was involved, the SNP continued with the compromised hearing. Henderson was gone once I got the story into the Daily Record. Henderson was then duly replaced by Patrick Grady, and he subsequently became an SNP MP. I should also mention that previously I had complained to SNP HQ about being the victim of a smear campaign. In the SNP, the standard operating practice is to smear people by tagging them as either racist, homophobic or misogynist, or using the same tags to claim they are a victim of it. I complained about being smeared to the senior SNP which include Alex Salmond, Nicola Sturgeon, Derek Mackay and Ian McCann. They all did nothing, so when the SNP thought they could use the rules to get me, they leaped into action. I wrote the post on May 26, 2012 and they tried to fit me up in less than circa two months. Contrast the investigation into me with the one into disgraced SNP MSP Derek Mackay, over a year now, and no action. The SNP find plenty of time to act when they want to discriminate against someone, but hold back when it is someone close to the leadership of Nicola Sturgeon. 

Looking back on this now, I think the real reason I was singled out was because they read into my post that I was saying the SNP is controlled by members of the lgbt community. I believe this made them angry. The SNP tended to project that the number of SNP lgbt elected members is relatively small and they were somehow an oppressed minority, as part of their victimhood culture. In a country the size of Scotland statistically the number of lgbt SNP politicians outstrips the norm, and it also outstrips the norm in the senior positions they hold. When I wrote my post 'SNP Cult Aid', I made the observation of who controls the SNP by writing: 

"The controlling faction is the lgbt group, these people aren't just a few politicians, they are elected politicians at MP, MSP, Cllr levels, they're also party staffers, staffers of MPs and MSPs, and party officials running SNP branches. The size of the SNP lgbt group has never been talked about openly because, any talk of the extent of their control and influence is attacked immediately by anyone questioning their role in the party." 

I had observed during my SNP membership, the working of the party up close, and because I was very active, I gained an insight which many people didn't, of the key players of the time. At MP level, the SNP openly boosted that they had the highest percentage of lgbt MPs. At Holyrood, at MSP level the SNP also had the largest percentage of lgbt MSPs. As far as I am aware, no one has done a study of the numbers of SNP lgbt Cllrs unless they make the press. Recent events have led to people calling the SNP various nicknames, like the 'Scottish Nonce Party', others have broke the name down on twitter to say the SNP stands for; 

S = sex pests

N= nonces

P = Perverts 

Not everyone in the SNP is a sex pest, or a nonce, or a pervert or a bully, but it is incredible how many are close to Nicola Sturgeon, and are lgbt. 

In fact, even the sexuality of Nicola Sturgeon has been frequently questioned so much over the years. Time and time again, the question 'is Nicola Sturgeon a lesbian' is so common place on social media platforms. It has been alleged by many people from vastly different political beliefs that Nicola Sturgeon is a lesbian on twitter. She has been also allegedly accused by some people to be in a relationship with a French woman. It is also rumoured and alleged that Sturgeon has a super injunction to prevent information being published about her in the press. When asked if the rumours were true, Sturgeon to the press said: 

“This sort of exotic double life that I’m supposedly leading is a damn sight more interesting than the actual life I’m leading. It does not have a scintilla of truth or basis in reality. It is just so completely off the wall.” 

The top three jobs in the Scottish Government are First Minister, Health Minister and Finance Minister.  Under Nicola Sturgeon, two out of three top jobs were held by lgbt members, and then when Derek Mackay was outed over the alleged grooming of a 16 year old boy, it dropped to one. Apparently Mackay thought the boy he was targeting was 'cute'. In the wake of the SNP MP Patrick Grady scandal, it has been alleged that Derek Mackay had a vocal supporter in private called Patrick Grady. Grady is alleged to have said the shamed ex-Finance Secretary did “nothing wrong” in the days after The Scottish Sun revealed he bombarded a boy of 16 with sleazy messages. Mackay was cast out because of the scandal which involved 270 texts, Grady is accused of physically groping young men. Grady, 41, quit as the party’s Westminster chief whip following a formal complaint alleging he touched a man just aged 19 inappropriately. This was alleged to have happened in a London pub in October 2016. Another report of alleged groping of two male researchers subsequently came out about in December 2016. It seems that email complaints were sent to the SNP and alleged Grady defended Mackay. 

One said: 

“Patrick continuously exclaimed how Derek had done nothing wrong and that 16 is the age of consent.” 

Clearly the weight of public opinion and political opinion doesn't back the conclusion what Derek Mackay did was right. So, is it okay for a 42 year old gay man to chase after a straight 16 year old? And I made the point previously, what was Derek Mackay's endgame? Apparently many SNP staffers were uncomfortable that Mackay was “protected” by the party in the months after his resignation. And here we are in 2021, no action taken against Mackay by the SNP still, and it has been alleged that SNP MP Patrick Grady was also 'protected' by the party. So who in the SNP is making the decisions not to act? And why are they not acting? According to reports, it is said that Alex Salmond flagged up the behaviour of SNP MP Patrick Grady to SNP Leader Nicola Sturgeon in 2018, at Sturgeon's home in the East End of Glasgow. This begs the question, what did Nicola Sturgeon do about this if the report is true? Her husband, Peter Murrell is the SNP CEO, surely she must have discussed Grady with him?    

Scottish Conservative MSP Annie Wells said: 

“For any SNP politician to defend Derek Mackay’s predatory targeting of a teenager is wrong and shows a worrying lack of decency and judgment. But there is also the recurring allegation of certain SNP people being ‘protected’. Nicola Sturgeon told parliament that Mackay would be investigated but over a year later we still don’t know the outcome while he continues to rake in public money. We also know that complaints about Grady were ignored and that he was supposedly ‘protected’. With every passing day, yet more SNP sleaze emerges. The party is rotten to the core and Scotland’s voters are beginning to see it.”

Annie Wells is someone who is also lgbt, and if I wasn't in the Labour Party, she is someone who I would consider campaigning for her. As many people know, I have campaigned for lgbt politicians in different parties. I judge the person on their character not their sexuality, because as we have seen with SNP MSP Joe Fitzpatrick. Picking a diddy has ramifications. Fitzpatrick before he stepped down in disgrace for being incompetent showed the entire world just how shit he is as an MSP. I have met Joe Fitzpatrick, he is a fucking arrogant asshole. 

Let's get to number 4 on my list of SNP stories to keep up on. Nathan Lewis Sparling, this is a guy who the Daily Record did a puff piece on back in Oct 2014. This guy worked for SNP MSP Aileen Campbell, and if you look at some of the SNP senior elected politicians, you can see as I mentioned that they employed members of the lgbt community. In fact this caught my eye so much, that I wondered how many SNP politicians did this? Of course, there is absolutely nothing wrong in an lgbt person being employed by a politician, but what struck me was the numbers, and who was employing them. Who knows, maybe it will start to get you wondering? When the harasser of SNP MP Joanna Cherry made the court of Edinburgh Sheriff Court, some eagle eyed spotter noticed the name, Nathan Lewis Sparling. The name is un-usual, and people looked him up and found him to be a former SNP staffer of Aileen Campbell. It is also said that Nathan Sparling worked in some capacity for SNP MP Mhairi Black as referenced in a buzzfeed article. SNP MP Mhairi Black is a lesbian who associates with drag queens, this came out during the row of an xxx rated who attended an event in a primary school.  Apparently Mhairi Black thought this was acceptable. Sparling's history also includes him as the campaign manager for SNP MP Angus Robertson ,in his bid to be SNP Deputy leader. Robertson is now standing to be an Edinburgh MSP at the Scottish Parliament election in May. I think in both pro uk and independence minded camps, there is a mutual consensus of wishing to see Robertson lose and not become an MSP.

The year is 2021, and former SNP staffer and drag queen Nathan Lewis Sparling has a new stage, this one is Court 4 in Edinburgh Sheriff Court. The former charity chief executive of HIV Scotland has been charged with a voyeurism offence. Sparling's appointment as Chief Executive raised some eyebrows because apparently he doesn't have, or come from a medical background. So, how did he get the job may seem as a totally reasonable question to ask? At the present moment, he pleads not guilty, and a trial is set for August. A spokesperson for the Scottish Courts and Tribunal Service said: 

“Nathan Sparling appeared on a single charge of contravention of Sexual Offences (S) Act 2009 sec 9(1) and 4(b) (voyeurism). He pled not guilty with an intermediate diet fixed for 19 July 2021 and trial for 9 August 2021.” 

So, what is voyeurism? Well voyeurism from what I can gather is defined as an interest in observing unsuspecting people while they undress, are naked, or engage in sexual activities. The interest is usually more in the act of watching, rather than in the person being watched.

The person doing the watching is called a voyeur, but you might hear them casually referred to as a peeping Tom. A key element of voyeurism is that the person being watched doesn’t know they’re being observed. The person is typically in a place where they have a reasonable expectation of privacy, such as their home or other private area. At the present moment, details of the Sparling case aren't in the public domain, however, like all cases, information will come out. I had a look at section 4 (b), and to save time, this is it: 

(4B)The fifth thing is that A— 

(a)without another person (“B”) consenting, and

(b)without any reasonable belief that B consents,

records an image beneath B's clothing of B's genitals or buttocks (whether exposed or covered with underwear) or the underwear covering B's genitals or buttocks, in circumstances where the genitals, buttocks or underwear would not otherwise be visible, with the intention that A or another person (“C”), for a purpose mentioned in subsection (7), will look at the image. 

I think that is one court case worth watching, what do you think? 

Looking at the section 4B, this is what is termed 'dirty bastard' stuff by Scots. This is real low life behaviour, if the Court case is going ahead against Sparling, it begs the question do they have digital evidence? If the Court does possess such evidence, another question would be, can they tie such evidence to Angus Robertson's former campaign manager Nathan Lewis Sparling? If Nathan Lewis Sparling is found guilty or pleads guilty to get a reduced sentence under the Criminal Procedures Scotland Act, he may still face a prison term. The type of sentences available, you can see by clicking on the link.

Finally, why is it so many vile people are closely connected directly or indirectly via a third party to SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon? Why do people openly say in print that Nicola Sturgeon would rather attend a lgbt march than a Scottish Independence march? Why is lgbt SNP member Derek Mackay's case not been dealt with by her? Why did Patrick Grady allegedly support Mackay when it was alleged Mackay was grooming a 16 year old boy? Why has SNP MP Patrick Grady not been suspended by Nicola Sturgeon? Did Alex Salmond tell Nicola Sturgeon about Patrick Grady's alleged behaviour back in 2018? Why did she do nothing about it, if Salmond told her? Did Nicola Sturgeon order a formal investigation? If there was an investigation, did the SNP interview alleged victims and potential witnesses? If alleged victims of Patrick Grady weren't interviewed, why not? Did Nicola Sturgeon bury an investigation? If so, did she deem alleged groping of young men by Grady was a price worth paying to keep him onside an ally?
