Photo Credit: Colin D Fisher. The Scottish Conservatives will today highlight their “unwavering support” for the Scotch whisky industry. Party chairman Craig Hoy will visit the Clydeside Distillery in Glasgow alongside the Scotch Whisky Association to showcase their importance to Scotland’s economy. Figures released earlier this year show the industry in Scotland contributed £5.3 billion to the economy in 2022, while the sector supports over 40,000 jobs across Scotland. Craig Hoy says that all Scottish Conservative MPs elected on July 4 will be “strong voices” for the industry, including campaigning to end the permanent removal of tariffs on whisky exports to the United States. He says that Scottish Conservative MPs in the last Parliament were already instrumental in securing duty freezes on whisky in recent Budgets from the Chancellor. Scottish Conservative Chairman Craig Hoy MSP said: “Whisky is one of Scotland’s continued success stories and is hugely important for helping to grow our economy. “I’m delighted to be alongside the Scotch Whisky Association at one of our newer distilleries to toast the industry. “The Scottish Conservatives will always be unwavering in our support for Scotch Whisky and our MPs elected on July 4 will be strong voices for them in Westminster. “We have shown that before with our MPs being instrumental in securing duty freezes from the Chancellor. “We also stood firm against the SNP-Greens’ botched bottle return scheme and proposed ban on alcohol advertising, both of which would have inflicted great damage on the whisky industry. “There is more to do and we will campaign for the permanent removal of tariffs on exports to America. “If voters unite around the Scottish Conservatives in key seats up and down Scotland, then we can get the focus onto people's real priorities like growing our economy and backing key industries, rather than the SNP continuing to obsess over independence.” Notes to editors: The report from January 2024 from the Scotch Whisky Association can be read here: https://www.scotch-whisky.org.uk/newsroom/scotch-whisky-boosts-uk-economy-by-71bn/#:~:text=%E2%80%9CScotch%20Whisky%20is%20a%20world,we%20have%20here%20in%20Scotland.

First Minister and MSPs come together for Carers Week Photo Credit: Colin D Fisher. PRESS RELEASE: First Minister and MSPs come together for Carers Week Scotland’s First Minister, John Swinney, was joined by party leaders and other MSPs on Thursday 13th June for a photocall at the Scottish Parliament as part of Carers Week. The event, organised by the Carers Week partner organisations, enabled Members of the Scottish Parliament to come together to pledge their support to unpaid carers throughout Scotland. Carers Week, which runs from Monday 10th June to Sunday 16th June 2024, is an annual campaign aiming to raise awareness about caring, highlight the challenges unpaid carers face and recognise the contribution they make to families and communities throughout the UK. It also helps people who don't think of themselves as having caring responsibilities to identify as carers so they can access much-needed support. There are over 800,000 unpaid carers in Scotland who generate the equivalent of over £13 billion1 in health and social care costs every year. Despite this massive contribution many do not get the support they need. The Carers Week theme for 2024 is “Putting Carers on the Map”, recognising the invaluable contributions of carers across Scotland and the rest of the UK and ensuring their voices are heard. Richard Meade, Director, Carers Scotland said: “Carers Week is a vital annual opportunity to ‘put carers on the map’. It is great to see the Scottish Parliament acknowledge this week and for many MSPs to join us in helping to raise awareness of the challenges that many unpaid carers face. Unpaid carers make a huge contribution to society, and it is only right that they are recognised, valued and supported as a result.” [END] NOTES TO EDITOR The Carers Week pa

Social Media Press Release: An Independent MP Dear Constituent I am standing as a independent candidate & wrote a number of policies including "Men Must Support Equality" and "Empowering Parents and Protecting Children" while I was a member of the Alba Party. I went to both Gylemuir Primary & Craigmount Secondary schools. I've been a DJ, Pub Landlord, TV Producer and business man. Now at 58 years old I am also a carer for my mum who lost her husband at the beginning of the 2020 pandemic who lives in Fife. So I have plenty of experience of healthcare, social care and everything else that can happen. I support women's equality & will support a change to the Equality Act so that it clearly defines that the protected characteristic of "Sex" means biological sex and no other definition. I've made a number of speeches, which can be found on my campaign Facebook page and on YouTube. I fully support that parents must be consulted and give their informed consent before schools and education authorities teach young children controversial subjects such as sex education. I have planned a Private Members Bill to change the law on energy regulation to prevent above inflation energy bill rises, it will also require the regulator to reverse the price rises and get energy companies to refund the excessive charges to householders & small businesses. As an independent MP I will only be answerable to you constituents not subject to political party whips. It is a much more honest form of democracy. I will work constructively with other parties and politicians to help build Scotland's future. I fully support Scotland being a modern European independent democracy. So I will support your right to have a democratic vote on Scotland's independence. Please vote for me to be your independent MP.

My track record in fighting for this constituency of Cowdenbeath and Kirkcaldy stands comparison with that of any MP in the country. ALBA’s track record of campaigning for independence stands “abune them a’” as the only party seeking a direct electoral mandate for freedom at each and every election.

Credit: Colin D Fisher/CDFIMAGES.COM PRESS RELEASE First Minister and MSPs back Carers Week Scotland’s First Minister, Humza Yousaf MSP, was joined by opposition leaders and MSPs from across the Parliament to mark this years Carers Week in a photograph at the Scottish Parliament following FMQs on 08 June. Carers Week is an annual campaign to raise awareness of caring, and to highlight the challenges Scotland’s nearly 800,000 unpaid carers face, as well as recognise the contribution they make to families and communities throughout the UK, not to mention our health and social care system. Every year there is a different theme to Carers Week, and this year the theme is around identifying carers, and the important role we can all play in identifying carers and helping them to get the support they need and are entitled to. It is also about helping those many people who are caring, who don’t see themselves as a carer, and as a result can see them missing out on much needed support. Richard Meade, Director of Carers Scotland, said: “It is great to see the whole Parliament get behind this year’s Carers Week and I would urge all MSPs to make sure that they do everything they can to ensure that carers get the support they need and are entitled to”. Running from 5th June to 11th June, the charities supporting Carers Week 2023 are Carers Scotland’ Age Scotland, Carers Trust Scotland, MND Scotland, Oxfam Scotland and The Lewy Body Society. Together, they are calling for better recognition of unpaid carers across society so that they can access the vital support they need to carry out their caring role. -ENDS-

Credit: Colin D Fisher/CDFIMAGES.COM PRESS RELEASE: Ash Regan sets out her energy plan for Scotland - with a proposal to use an existing environmental tax to power the transition to a citizen-owned energy company. In Ash Regan's proposal, the Carrier Bag Charge, which charges 10p in all supermarkets, shops, and take-aways, would be strengthened from its current position of a 'suggestion to give to good causes' to a seed investment in an energy company, backed by the Scottish National Investment Bank. 50% of the carrier bag charge would be diverted to the new energy company, with the remaining 50% staying with the business for continued donation to a registered charity. In the event the company wanted to support the National Energy Company, 100% could be sent to the investment fund. It is estimated nearly £31m could be available to the yearly funding of the energy company, once all forms of retail that are legislated under the charge are taken into account, previous figures have only focussed on the supermarkets. Likewise, under Ash Regan, the full charge would be used for the people of Scotland, withholding the 20% VAT currently returned to Westminster for use in the energy company. Ash Regan said: "We need to be bold and ambitious, we need to look at tackling generation, transmission and supply of energy. We have the resources, we have the infrastructure, we need to make it deliver to the people of Scotland in an affordable manner. For far too long large corporations have profited from Scotland's vast natural resources, and we ensure that those resources are used to the greatest benefit to the people of Scotland. The Carrier Bag Charge can be used to fund the initial setup of the new National Energy Company. This will provide a steady and reliable income stream to get the project setup over the next few years wh

**FOR TV VIDEO CLIP OF THE WHOLE PRESS CONFERENCE SEE BELOW LINK** https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEOG1j1eOPQ Edinburgh, Scotland, UK. 16 June 2022. Female Olympians Sharron Davies and Mara Yamauchi today visited Edinburgh to call on members of the Scottish Parliament to ensure the integrity of female sporting categories. The Scottish Parliament is currently considering draft legislation – the Gender Recognition Reform (Scotland) Bill – which will allow individuals to change the sex recorded on their birth certificate by simply making a statutory declaration. Currently, someone seeking a Gender Recognition Certificate (GRC) needs to have a diagnosis of gender dysphoria and to have lived in their ‘acquired gender’ for two years. The Equalities, Human Rights and Civil Justice (EHRCJ) Committee took oral evidence on the impact of the draft bill on sports on 24 May from sportscotland and Leap Sport Scotland. Ms Davies and Ms Yamauchi were invited to Scotland by campaign group For Women Scotland (FWS), and accompanied by a representative of Fair Play For Women. Susan Smith, For Women Scotland, said: “We were disappointed that MSPs did not seek evidence from female athletes during their oral evidence session on sport last month. Male puberty confers lifelong physical advantage and the inclusion of male athletes in the female category is disastrous for women. We hope MSPs will listen to Ms Davies and Ms Yamauchi’s concerns, and take them into account as they continue to scrutinise the draft Bill. Whilst the Equality Act 2010 has a clear exception for sports, we know that many elite and grassroots sports have adopted policies which allow male athletes to compete in the female category. We also know that participation rates for women in sport are lower than they are for their male counterparts. We should not be putting any further barriers in the way of improving participation levels.” Fiona McAnena, Fair Play For Women, said: “Last year, sportscotland endorsed new guidance on transgender inclusion which said allowing trans athletes into female sport is not fair for females. Governing bodies for sport are now reviewing their policies and we expect them to reinstate a female category based on birth sex. The sports councils suggested other options for transgender inclusion in sport such as Open categories. We need to be fair to females and to trans people. That means ensuring trans inclusion but keeping female sport for those who have not gone through male puberty.

Credit: Colin D Fisher/CDFIMAGES.COM Landmark legislation to tackle Scotland’s drug death crisis has moved a step closer to becoming law today after it emerged there is overwhelming support for the Right to Recovery Bill proposal. The Scottish Conservatives have published responses received during consultation on the Bill proposal, paving the way for it to be put before the Scottish Parliament. Around 77 per cent of those who responded to the consultation were supportive of the Right to Recovery proposals. The responses to the Bill – which will enshrine in law the right of everyone with an addiction problem to receive life-saving treatment – were extremely positive and came from a host of organisations, including charities, support groups and churches. Of the hundreds of responses received, 64 per cent were “fully supportive” of the Right to Recovery proposal and a further 13% said they were “partially supportive”. Shadow Health Secretary Sandesh Gulhane will today meet one of the experts involved in the drafting of the legislation proposal, Annemarie Ward of charity FAVOR Scotland. Annemarie Ward of Favor Scotland said: “We are delighted to see how well this Bill has been received by those who understand what it will take to change Scotland’s failing treatment system. “When passed it will bring much-needed further investment to make sure those individuals and families suffering have choice and access to the types of services that can help us heal. “This Bill brings Scotland’s treatment system and services kicking and screaming out of their inertia and into the light of what’s possible when we listen to those with lived experience who have found recovery. “We are very proud to have taken it to this stage and we hope all of Scotland’s MSPs will help our country heal by making sure it gets over the line.” Scottish Conservative Shadow Health Secretary Dr Sandesh Gulhane MSP said: “Scotland’s appalling drugs-death statistics shame the nation. They are the worst in Europe – and we have a moral duty to act to stem the tragic and needless loss of lives. “We believe Right to Recovery is a crucial part of the solution and I’m delighted to see the extremely positive response to it from stakeholders, who recognise it’s a common-sense Bill drawn up in consultation with experts in the addiction field.

PICTURED: Scottish Conservative party Leader Douglas Ross officially launches the Scottish Conservative Party election manifesto for the spring 2022 elections. Credit: Colin D Fisher/CDFIMAGES.COM The Scottish Conservatives have launched their 2022 local government manifesto with a promise to deliver on voters’ local priorities, not the SNP’s priorities. Speaking at the party’s manifesto launch in Glasgow, Scottish Conservative Leader Douglas Ross urged pro-UK voters to back the party to deliver local action on local issues. He said it was “a manifesto that the silent majority of pro-UK voters can get behind to send a message to Nicola Sturgeon for her 15 years of failing Scotland.” He warned of the risk of SNP-Labour councils that wouldn’t stand up to Nicola Sturgeon. Labour are in coalition with the SNP in six councils across Scotland, and dozens of Labour candidates in this election are pro-independence or pro-indyref2. The Scottish Conservative manifesto includes policies such as: Business rates-free zones on high streets. Cutting council tax for almost a million households. A commitment to oppose the SNP’s workplace parking tax. A Pothole Action Fund to improve our roads and make driving safer. A local tutoring scheme and provide additional support to help pupils catch up from lost learning. A fairer deal for local communities with a set amount of the Scottish Budget going to councils each year. A local care service to provide a guarantee against out-of-area care. Scottish Conservative Leader Douglas Ross said: “This election is an opportunity to get all of the focus onto your local priorities – not the SNP’s. “Scottish Conservative councillors will be totally focused on helping schools to catch up pupils, fixing local roads and protecting local services, all while keeping council tax increases low.

Glasgow, Scotland, UK. 29 April 2021. PICTURED: GLASGOW SNP COUNCILLOR BACKS ALBA ON THE LIST “VOTING ALBA ON THE LIST IS THE BEST WAY TO INCREASE PRO INDEPENDENCE REPRESENTATION” A Senior SNP Councillor in Glasgow has pledged his support to ALBA on the regional list stating that a list vote for the SNP is “wasted” because the party won’t win any regional seats because of their strength in constituencies. Councillor John Letford’s support for ALBA on the list was welcomed by ALBA Party Leader and Former First Minister Alex Salmond who joined the Glasgow Councillor and other Glasgow candidates in a campaign session in Glasgow this evening. Campaigning alongside Cllr Letford Mr Salmond said: “Across Scotland nearly one million SNP list votes were wasted last time round. Next week we have the opportunity to elect a Supermajority for independence if independence supporters follow John Letford’s example by putting country before party. By backing the SNP in your Constituency and ALBA on the list, the people of Scotland can help ensure the case for Scottish independence is progressed with urgency." Letford has served as an SNP representative in Glasgow since he was first elected in 2012 to serve the Maryhill area. He previously had a role at the heart of the SNP administration on Glasgow City Council, serving as business manager to the SNP administration. The Maryhill Councillor says that this election is vital to the future of Scotland and that for him country must come before party as he urged independence supporters to “back their SNP Constituency candidate and give their list vote to ALBA to help elect a Supermajority for independence”.

Greenock, Scotland, UK. 29 April 2021. PICTURED: ALBA Party Leader and Former First Minister Alex Salmond will today (Thursday) unveil an immediate "five point plan" to reduce poverty in Scotland. Salmond will set out the plan today on a campaign trip to the West of Scotland. Central Greenock was ranked as the most deprived zone in Scotland in the 2020 SIMD (Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation) update. Salmond will set out that the levels of deprivation and poverty in the West of Scotland, and in areas across the country, are a “political scandal and parliament must now take bold and radical action to ensure that such inequality is no longer accepted by politicians in the Scottish Parliament”. ALBA will: 1.Introduce an Annual £500 payment to assist half a million low earnings households in Scotland. 2.Increase the Scottish Child Payment to £40 per week for 400,000 children in quarter of a million households. 3.Extend free school meals to all primary and secondary pupils in Scotland. 4.Double the Educational Maintenance Allowance (EMA) from £30 to £60 for 16-19 year olds in school and college. 5.Introduce universal access to sports facilities for all children and young people under 18. Unveiling a new ALBA campaign message billboard Mr Salmond said: "Covid has shown us, in the starkest way possible, the division in our society between the 'haves' and the 'have nots'. Covid did not create these divisions but it has exacerbated them. As the country recovers from the pandemic it is time for Scotland to think big about the kind of country we want to be. It is time to rebalance our nation's priorities in favour of people who have the least and for those communities who have been left behind for far too long. Pic Credit: Colin Fisher/CDFIMAGES.COM

Marion Calder said: On International Women’s Day, Scottish women lit candles to remember those who fell victim to the witchcraze which swept Scotland. We find it ironic that the First Minister today apologised to those who are safely dead, but said nothing about the ongoing campaigns against women, including women in her own party, who defend women and women’s rights today. Somewhere in the region of 85% of the accused then were women, victims of a patriarchal society in which women often had to turn on their sisters to survive. We must never forget that madness and violence are not yet behind us. Nor are superstition, cruelty and hate. As we remember the women who died here in Scotland, we also think of those who continue to face persecution at home and abroad. We urge women in parliament to stand up for the most vulnerable today and to commit to ensuring that women are never again made scapegoats to serve the imposition of ideology. About For Women Scotland: FWS are a grassroots women's group who campaign to protect women's and girls' rights in Scotland. We recently won a judicial review appeal to stop the Govt redefining "women" in the Gender Representation on Public Boards Act.

Credit: Colin D Fisher/CDFIMAGES.COM CEO of the Caribbean Climate-Smart Accelerator (CCSA) Racquel Moses has been appointed the newest UN global ambassador to represent the Caribbean at the UN climate change summit. The 26th UN Framework Convention on climate change (UNFCCC) will hold its yearly Conference of the Parties (COP26) in Glasgow, Scotland, from November 1-12. In a release, Island Innovation said the UN High Level Climate Champions had appointed a small group of global leaders, including Moses, who is a Trinidadian, to represent the region. It said the global ambassadors were chosen on the basis of their committed work on transformative change and addressing the climate crisis. The organisation said the CCSA had been created through a partnership between the prime ministers of Dominica, Grenada, St Lucia and the founder of the Virgin Group, Sir Richard Branson, who all shared a vision for the Caribbean to become the world’s first climate-smart zone. Moses reacted to her appointment by saying, “It is an honour to have been selected as an ambassador for the UNFCCC Race to Zero and Race to Resilience programme. I was already set to travel to Glasgow to take part in COP26 and represent the interests of the Caribbean and other developing nations and this has bolstered my determination to bring forth the challenges we are facing.” She said certain islands have not been able to send delegations owing to the covid19 pandemic, including accessibility to the conference’s location, so it is important that the region has representation in Glasgow. “Islands need a seat at the table when discussing sustainable development and economic development. I intend to make our collective voices heard,” she said. The release said Moses will be joined by other global ambassadors including the UN secretary general special envoy for climate ambition and solutions Michael Bloomberg, founder of Bloomberg LP and 108th mayor of New York City, Dr Susan Chomba and Prof Saleem Huq.

The artwork illuminates the links between climate change and historical and ongoing colonisation, inviting viewers to ask difficult questions about themselves, the legacy of colonialism and its relation to our damaged planet, as well as providing a bright beacon for the future. The high-profile sculpture - measuring 70m long, 6m high and using 3,723 low power LED lights with equal energy usage as two toasters; was previously exhibited under the title Speedwell, at the Mount Batten Breakwater in Plymouth as part of the Mayflower 400 Commemoration Programme, and will now travel to Glasgow for the duration of COP26. The project has been realised with the support of a community Crowdfunder campaign. Its placement at Govan Dock and in full view of the COP26 summit site will shine a light on the River Clyde, and serve as a stark reminder to COP delegates that there is no plan(et) B. Still/Moving is composed of three artists based in Devon, Laura Hopes, Martin Hampton and Léonie Hampton. Their collective practice with each other and partner communities, developed through a collaborative process, aims to create social and ecological change through questioning established modes of thinking and behaviour. CDPI, the Clyde Docks Preservation Initiative is a social enterprise promoting maritime heritage, sustainable development and sustainable recreation & tourism on the River and Firth of Clyde. The NO NEW WORLDS sculpture is the start of a year-long engagement programme to take the message of climate action to the communities of the Clyde - to develop an understanding of its relevance to maritime heritage and the Turning the Tide On the Clyde celebration and mapping programme. NO NEW WORLDS will be switched-on at dusk on Saturday 30 October and remain illuminated for two weeks, through to Saturday 13 November. ENDS

Credit: Colin D Fisher/CDFIMAGES.COM PRESS RELEASE: Women lobbied the Scottish Parliament in defence of their rights. Women are protesting against Nicola Sturgeon’s policy program which is detrimental to the rights and safety of women and girls. The Scottish Government's policy of Self-Id is where a male can identify as a woman simply on his own say so. This requires no medical intervention. Self-Id removes the rights of women and girls to single sex spaces and services. Males will be allowed in women’s changing rooms, prisons, hospital wards and any women only space. It will not be possible to request a female perform intimate services. And Self-Id will enable males to compete in women’s sports. The Scottish government cannot win this argument, so backed by the police and prosecution service they have created a hostile environment for those that speak out. Women risk a criminal record and up to seven years in jail - even stating that predatory males might take advantage of Self-Id is potentially a hate crime. Today women are making a stand and letting Nicola Sturgeon know women will not be silenced. ENDS PoC

Credit: Colin Fisher/CDFIMAGES.COM PRESS RELEASE: Dear First Minister, We are demanding that as the COVID-19 Pandemic is ongoing and the real financial difficulties tenants find themselves in that a two year eviction ban be put in place along side strong rent controls for all tenants in Scotland. Your response to me was full of platitudes about the homeless and not recognising the crisis in homelessness we face. People have lost their jobs, the furlough is coming to an end and the £20 temporary uplift to universal credit is ending soon and yet you make it clear that the temporary regulations governing the temporary ban on evictions in both the public and private sectors in Scotland will now only apply to levels 3 and 4 areas for COVID -19 because as of today Monday 17th May 2021 all areas of Scotland go back to level 2 on the mainland and level 1 in the islands meaning that Private and Social Landlords can now evict poverty stricken tenants. This is unacceptable as the Scottish Government has to immediately amend the regulations to extend eviction protection to all tenants in Scotland. We will be engaging in a major PROTEST at the Scottish Parliament this Thursday 20th May 2021 at 12 noon calling for the following measures to rid Scotland of homelessness: - to implement a 2 year ban on all evictions for rent arrears and to implement comprehensive rent controls for all tenants - the building of at least 37,100 socially rented homes during the next five years

"Through this event and the release of the video 'ALBA Women Rising' ALBA women are taking centre stage in the remaining days of the Election campaign. "We are coming together as Women Candidates to proclaim Women's sex based rights in Scotland. We are urging Women across Scotland to vote for ALBA on the list as the best way of 'shaking up' the Scottish Parliament and protecting the rights of women and girls. As more and more women recognise ALBA as the custodians of Women's rights in this Election so ALBA will rise between now and polling day."

PIC CREDIT: Credit: Colin Fisher PRESS RELEASE: It is a matter of political will to end homelessness in Scotland. The Homeless numbers are very high and those struggling to pay rent and those with low wages are increasing in number and we will witness a tsunami of homelessness unless a raft of measures are taken now in 2021 to stop this from happening. It is time we had a dedicated Homelessness and Housing Minister in the Scottish Cabinet of Scottish Government to give the high prioritisation and action to protect our most vulnerable citizens. As I have said the above should have the highest priority as they are the most vulnerable of our people in Scotland. Instead in recent times we have witnessed rich Lobbyists from big Companies having meetings with Scottish Ministers that go unrecorded because hundreds of millions of pounds of our money is being handed over to greedy millionaires and land developers. We need to engage in a massive build of 37,100 social rented homes over the course of the next term of the Scottish Parliament that are warm dry and secure to ensure that the current record high number of 27,322 homeless households who are classed as open cases can be moved on to an excellent standard of permanent social housing. In the meantime we have a record number of 14,151 homeless households stuck in temporary accommodation including 7900 children who are being damaged by this state of affairs. We must implement the Unsuitable Accommodation Order in June 2021 to ensure that all homeless people are provided with a a high standard of temporary accommodation instead of the substandard and unhealthy bed and breakfast and hotel accommodation they have to put up with at the current time. This is unacceptable. They then can then move onto permanent social housing from better temporary accommodation. In addition the COVID-19 Pandemic

But Mr Sarwar has outlined how his party will go further, outlining plans for a transformative approach to social security that ensures no one is left behind with a “minimum income guarantee” and using the powers to reduce child poverty.

Speaking in advance of the launch which will take place at the Buchan Hotel, in Ellon Alex Salmond said: "On week one of the Scottish Parliament elected with an Independence Supermajority, the Scottish Government should seek an instruction from the Parliament to begin Independence negotiations with the Westminster Government. “However for that to happen people need to Vote ALBA on the list to deliver that Independence Supermajority and to allow those negotiations to begin. What will change Westminster's mind about engaging in negotiations is the strength of the votes in Scotland and the knowledge that they are not taking on a single party, the SNP, but a Parliament representing an entire nation.” Credit: Colin Fisher Credit: Colin D Fisher/CDFIMAGES.COM

Clearly though, with climate science giving us just nine years to turn things around, we will need to move further and faster in the next parliament.

He said that: “Time and again, the SNP have told fairy stories while playing fast and loose with the rules, imperilling the very foundations of the devolution settlement. We have seen an arrogant Scottish Government, distracted by internal bickering, taking the public for fools.” He praised the Scottish Conservatives – under the leadership of Douglas Ross – for holding the SNP to account, forcing rethinks on flawed Holyrood legislation and dragging nationalist secrets into the open. Alister said, “The United Kingdom has a Covid-19 vaccination programme that is the envy of the world. “In Scotland, millions of doses of Valneva’s vaccine are rolling off the production line at a high-tech plant in Livingston, ready for approval.

Nicola Sturgeon hasn’t taken responsibility. She has not fired anyone. The whole of Scotland is talking about her collusion, corruption and cover-up, instead of health, education and jobs. She must resign so the country can move on.

Glasgow, Scotland, UK. 22 February 2021. Pictured: Sean Clerkin holding a gravestone shaped placard which reads, “HERE LIES SCOTLANDS HOMELESS DEATHS” Credit: Colin Fisher PRESS RELEASE: The homeless death statistics for Scotland for 2019 are a disgrace and scandalous in that so many human beings had to die alone and unknown in the 21st century. These deaths could have been avoided by providing real resources to build at least 12,000 social homes a year in Scotland ,provide wraparound services for drugs ,alcohol and mental health and end harmful and substandard temporary accommodation. The Scottish Government are good at publishing Reports on how to help the homeless but less good at matching words with deeds. The Scottish Government have to act now by really ramping up Housing First for those with complex homeless needs and accelerating Rapid Re-Housing Transition in local authorities for the homeless. The Housing Minister Kevin Stewart has to act now to do the above and with the homeless being susceptible to COVID-19 having underlying conditions they should be vaccinated now against COVID-19. The homeless are human beings that have to be treated with dignity and respect as they are someone’s father, mother, son and daughter. These deaths must stop now.

We are demanding that water charges are frozen for the next 6 years from 2021 to 2027-28, that all those on social security benefits get 100 mitigation and that all domestic water debts are written off. The above is what is needed during this terrible COVID-19 Pandemic to reduce the financial burden on our most vulnerable people instead of further enriching Scottish Water to be set up for Privatisation.

PRESS RELEASE: I did numerous protests calling on Nicola Sturgeon First Minister of Scotland to ban travel between Scotland and England earlier this year to stop the spread of COVID-19 in Scotland. The Protests were purely for public health reasons as both Professor Roland Kao and Professor Devi Sridhar of Edinburgh University repeatedly called for border controls to curtail travel to stop the spread of COVID-19 in Scotland. The Protests showed we were right In our actions and only now with the dire threat of this variant of COVID-19 from England has action been taken to stop non essential travel between Scotland and England. However the initial response of Police Scotland is disappointing in that they say they are not going to alter the way they police the border. If we are to prevent this mutation of COVID-19 from spreading widely north of the border we will need firm policing to maintain border travel restrictions to protect the Scottish People From harm.

The Lion & The Unicorn Hotel has been going strong since 1999 under the ownership of Landlady, Fiona Stevenson. The hotel, restaurant and snug bar act as the local community hub in Thornhill. There really is no place quite like it with, good locally sourced food, good chat and a general relaxed and happy vibe through the place. Then along came the Coronavirus (COVID19) Pandemic and businesses local and national struggled massively and a lot of them went bust. Thornhill’s beating heart of the community is the Lion and Unicorn Hotel. Locals paying their daily visit to exchange stories and have a blether can no longer under the various lockdowns. A community in crisis and a business on the brink. Blood, sweat and tears and more have been poured into this place, and everyone is dammed if its going to be last orders at the bar on their watch. So far most of the staff have been furloughed leaving a skeleton staff to keep everything running and in a safe and distanced manner. Keep your local community alive and and buy local. If the Lion and The Unicorn were to close its doors for good then the only other place in Thornhill will be the local newsagents, and this means that all the good things which come with a hotel like this will be gone forever.

Scottish Border, Berwick-upon-Tweed, Scotland, UK. 16 October 2020. Pictured: Sean Clerkin of Action For Scotland. Credit: Colin D Fisher/CDFIMAGES.COM PRESS RELEASE: The Protest today is directed towards the Scottish Government calling on it to close the Scottish Border to all people on non essential travel from areas of high transmission in England. It is time the Scottish Government showed some backbone and stopped the spread of the coronavirus from these areas coming to Scotland via legal travel restrictions. The Welsh Government today will legally ban people from all non-essential travel to Wales from other areas of high transmission in England. The Scottish Government have to do the same to protect the People of Scotland on the grounds of Public Health. That also means people from Scotland should be stopped from travelling to the North of England on the grounds that they could bring the virus back to Scotland as represented by positive cases from Blackpool. There is no anti English sentiments being expressed here but the cold hard reality that we must all behave properly to beat this Terrible Disease.

We are demanding that all bomb production is halted now as Raytheon UK have been the subject of a complaint by the European Centre for Constitutional and Human Rights to the International Crime Court at The Hague alleged to have aided and abetted war crimes in Yemen. We are also calling on the Scottish Government to stop giving taxpayers money to subsidise Raytheon as to date they have given this bomb maker over £200,000 in public money. The Scottish Government should get the above sum of money back and give a commitment never to give further hand outs to these Arms Companies.

The Scottish Government should bring forward the Scottish Parliamentary Elections and with a subsequent Majority of Pro Independence MSPs elected should then sue for complete secession from the Rogue British State. The British State is in complete chaos and meltdown with the Tory Government refusing to extend the Furlough Scheme which will make hundreds of thousands of Scots unemployed and create social unrest. The same UK Government is taking us to a no deal disaster with Brexit Britain being the Titanic heading for the Brexit Iceberg. It is time to leave this Rogue State that breaks International Treaties that in any case Is dragging Scotland into mass unemployment and terrible poverty for hundreds of thousands of Scots. I burn this Union Jack , this butchers apron that has championed slavery, empire, and the destruction of whole cultures including our own and we are saying to all the people of Scotland to throw off the yoke of colonisation and to be a free nation again. The Union Jack represents the past and a free and independent Scotland represents tomorrow. A free and independent Scotland can have its own currency, Central Bank and be free of debt to create equal life chances for all through having first class Public Services. We in Scotland can provide a Universal Basic Income for all of our people so that no one lives in poverty. The time has come to end the Union with this Rogue British State.

PRESS RELEASE: Today’s protest outside Barlinnie Prison is calling for the immediate release of Mr Singh from his draconian 72 Day jail sentence for defying Glasgow City Council to have the March and rally for Scottish Independence at 1.30 pm in the afternoon In May 2019 which attracted over 100,000 people allowing those people from the Highlands and Islands and the South of Scotland the time to get to Glasgow For the March instead of following the late imposition of a 11.30 am start by Glasgow City Council. To impose the above jail sentence is an abuse of his human rights and seriously brings into question the increasing quashing of civil liberties of freedom to assemble and protest in our so-called democratic society. Mr Mandeep Singh is an important founder of the grassroots YES Movement in Scotland and we want his immediate release from prison as he is not a criminal but a person who showed courage which he Is now being unfairly punished for.

Credit: Colin Fisher From: Scottish Green Party Media Release Scottish Greens 24 August 2020 Scottish Greens call for Glasgow Life bailout The Scottish Greens have today called for the Scottish Government to bailout Glasgow Life, the charity responsible for operating the city’s libraries and leisure centres. Glasgow Life faces an estimated £38 million funding gap caused by the covid crisis, meaning it currently can’t afford to reopen dozens of the city’s libraries and leisure centres, so the Scottish Greens have called on the Scottish Government to step in with emergency support. More than two-thirds of the city’s libraries are set to remain shut indefinitely including Govanhill Library and Pollokshields Library, both in the First Minister’s Southside constituency. Speaking at the launch of his campaign outside Govanhill Library today, Patrick Harvie MSP said: “Libraries are a lifeline for communities and will be even more so in the months ahead, when many people will need them to get online to look for jobs, access learning, or just have a place to get away from it all. Glasgow Life’s financial losses are so great that they will need urgent government help if they’re to safeguard services for the public and avoid damaging job losses. That’s why I’m calling for an urgent bailout so these essential services can reopen as soon as possible.” Cllr Kim Long added: “Many of the local facilities that are staying shut, like Whitehill Pool, have been threatened with closure in recent years. The Scottish Greens have helped save them by winning millions for Glasgow in budget deals but now they face a new threat. We’re calling on the Council and the Scottish Government to work together to reopen the libraries and leisure centres so essential to Glasgow communities and needed now more than ever.” Ends

Protest today at the British/English Government HQ, Queen Elizabeth House to demand that our border with England be closed immediately so that COVID-19 is not allowed to spread throughout Scotland by people coming up from England. Sean Clerkin from Action For Scotland said: 1) Scotland is a colony of the British/English State and we will only ever truly control our borders with Scottish Independence. If we were an Independent Nation we would already have closed our border with England further preventing the spread of COVID-19 in Scotland. Instead we will continue to suffer as we did the irresponsible behaviour by 34 English Tourists at a Airbnb at Glen Etive with most of them from Manchester which is supposed to be under restrictions because of a high level of Covid-19. 2) The English Government is only interested in financially raping and exploiting Scotland to further its own interests. The People of Scotland are increasingly being put at risk from COVID-19 by a lack of border controls and we are demanding that the border is closed immediately.

We are drawing attention to this issue and calling on the Scottish Government to implement quarantine restrictions on people from south of the border if they are engaged in non essential travel. It would be best that people living in England think of others and take staycations in England which is in the best interest of public health.
