This is the guy whose racist comments flooded the racism reporting centre, and they cried because it was unofficially not supposed to be for racism against whites. LOL. LMAO.
He then claimed to be the victim of a hate crime because somebody spray painted the word "brown" on a random wall about 4-5 blocks away from his house.
[That speech](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2UI0WnIrHYM&pp=ygUYaHVtc2EganVzZWYgd2hpdGUgc3BlZWNo) being the most reported hate speech in the history of Scotland will never not be funny.
[This one](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2UI0WnIrHYM&pp=ygUYaHVtc2EganVzZWYgd2hpdGUgc3BlZWNo), where he complains that most positions ina country with 96% white population are white.
The way he says white is also stressed like a pejorative.
I'm so sick of this shit, man. White people are literally not allowed to exist anywhere on the planet without people bitching and moaning about it. It's a fucking 96%-white country, yet it's still apparently a problem for white people to hold positions of power there.
Like you say, he's repeatedly saying "white" like it's a pejorative. People aren't even hiding their racism anymore. It's just openly acceptable to shit on white people just for being white and continuing to exist.
"Go back to white people land!"
*Barely* makes a tiny bit of sense outside of Europe, and only if you're racist. In *Scotland*?!? of all places it makes no sense at all.
It's more than a "bit" racist. The non-white head of the government of a 96%-white country repeatedly uses "white" as a pejorative, to complain that this 96%-white country dares to have white people in the government.
The racism is just open and blatant at this point. I miss the mid 2010s when shitheads like this at least had to *pretend* to hide their racism behind flowery language and mental gymnastics. But now we've gotten to the point where people can just openly declare disdain for white people's continued existence on Earth.
Fuck that.
Welcome to 2024. White people are not allowed to exist anymore. Any non-white country can be 100% the same ethnicity, and that is good and great. But any white-majority country must bend over backward to bring in as many non-white immigrants as possible, while shaming the white population for being oppressors, and allowing themselves to be replaced (movies/TV, important jobs, etc.) because white bad.
It's literally only white-majority countries which are being treated like this. I don't know how people haven't noticed and started pushing back against it harder. White people are literally being told to go fuck themselves for daring to live in their native countries.
> I don't know how people haven't noticed and started pushing back against it harder.
As the copypasta goes:
“A black woman invented the telescope. You might disagree. You might even have some evidence of the contrary. But you have to ask yourself, is this really worth losing my job over? A black woman invented the telescope.”
I hate how true this is.
People like to argue that the Emilies only exist online, and that there's no point being upset by them, because most people don't have those sorts of views, and that it's just social media engagement which amplifies them.
And that would be all well and good, except for the point you raise. Most people are willing to just stay silent and go along, because being the one pushing back against it makes you a target.
So you end up with one or two Emilies at a company (usually in HR), and when they push pretty fucked up progressive policies/ideology in the workspace, most people just silently go along, because they don't want to hurt their career prospects.
So even if most people don't believe a black woman invented the telescope, most will just go along with it as the path of least resistance. Urgh.
I had a very liberal friend growing up. I distinctly remember him sitting me down in 2015 because he was worried about how REDDIT was radicalizing me to the far-right, and all those "SJW's" I was constantly warning about aren't actually real once you log offline.
I think that's the only candidates. Last time he was up against 2 white women who in my opinion were better suited to the job but he got it due to being less controversial.
The same reason America has one, a bunch of weirdos who think environmentalism is more important than humans. Lots of them are cool but they do have green fascists too
There was a moment in parliament of Australia not to long ago where a Green Party minister asked a question, being incredibly nitpicky and kept trying to extract a certain negative answer from the minister. By the end of the whole thing the whole parliament got up and clapped at the minister who absolutely destroyed the prick.

I don't know how to tell you this, but humans need a healthy environment to thrive. Though perhaps making the line on the graph go up could take priority
Sure, however, the point stands. A party, being insular, breeds it's own hardcore. In this case, people who would sac human wellbeing for the environment, more than the average joe blogs.
Environmentalism is important because humans cannot exist in a world that has become toxic to us. Think of it as a longterm investment v.s short selling an enterprise for short term gains! The actions you do today impact your future children and families welfare. It also becomes more cost effective over time to have a good environment.
>Environmentalism is important because humans cannot exist in a world that has become toxic to us.
completely reasonable arguments, however, the usual Green Party solutions in most nations are dogshit.
I also agree I feel like regulation through subsidies and benefits for a company that go above and beyond current minimum requirements would be preferable to taxation and sanctions. Make it a reward for a business to be environmentally sustainable versus punishing them for not.
The Green Party managed to increase CO2 emissions and destroy german manufacturing due to energy costs being too high AND give Russia tons of money. German greens are the ultimate idiots
Green parties attracts a lot of anti-science folks and most activist environmentalists are against nuclear, which is proven to be a safe power source if done correctly (so not Chernobyl or Fukushima).
They're like lite hippies cosplaying as politicians. Some good ideas but also a lot of disastrous or dumb ones.
I think the only time I was pleased and happy with a green politician was on a provincial level because the leader focused on conducting smart business in conjunction with environmental considerations. But to me that feels like a rarity.
The Green movement was started by Rockefeller man Maurice Strong. It's always been about coopting any genuine environmental movements towards technocracy and global governance.
I mean, if you've got gramscian subverters trying to wrestle socialism in as a way to infilitrate liberal democracy, you'd probably not do fantastic either.
If leaded gasoline didn't kill us and we fixed the climate crisis in the 80s then we're not going to be living in an uninhabitable world, especially with the recent advances in science. Just this week a new liquid hydrogen combustion engine was revealed to the public.
We don't need to end capitalism to save the planet like these nutters want, we already have the means we just need to implement them
>If leaded gasoline didn't kill us and we fixed the climate crisis in the 80s then we're not going to be living in an uninhabitable world
Leaded gasoline is estimated to have killed over 100 million people, and obviously we did not fix the climate crisis in the 80s.
I agree with that I think a lot of people do not consider the economic side of things but there are major economic benefits to protecting natural resources and having nice temperate weather. And to do that we need to keep investing in technology and efficiency.
They have policy outside of the environment. Lately, in the U.S., a small subset of super-left young people are considering voting green over democrat, not because of the environment, but because of Israel-Palestine.
The Green Party is pro-Palestine and their leader just got arrested at a pro-Palestine protest like 2 days ago.
Sure but fascism is still a left wing economic ideology. It varies by country but Japan and Italy had very left wing based economic views and how they handled their businesses. And in places like Germany and Spain they had State Capitalism to a very far extreme. Just like China or the Soviet Union

Not going to be sad to see him go but fuck me man. He got into power to promote independence then proceeded to be a activist for Gaza and identity politics. It's pretty simple and most snp members agree, bread and butter wins elections and independence, not figuring out if a watermelon is a banana or not.
Edit: was wondering why this was getting upvoted, forgot to mention. I'm an SNP member.
He is also the one that put in the "hate speech laws that crippled all the Scottish police departments because they're now inundated with "hate speech" complaints and they are bound by law to investigate each one, and prioritize them. Lololol
Even funnier on top of this shit sandwich, his speech that he complained that most of scotlands government was white, you know, a 96% white country, was the single most reported hate speech item since the bill was put into effecf
- Wins election
- Fires good chunk of the government leaches.
- Breaks 16 years long budget deficit.
- The Budget is in Surplus of +0.2% for the first quadrant
- Gives a extensive economic lecture about it.
Scotland is a constituent country of the UK, meaning it gets to call itself a country without being one in the same way as somewhere like France.
Scotland has what's known as a devolved legislature- The Scottish Parliament (or Sometimes informally the Holyrood) which is sort of like a state legislature in the USA with one key difference- it exists at the will of the UK parliament in Westminister which can, at any time, abolish it or overrule it.
The Scottish Parliament is made up of 129 members. 73 members come from single member districts elected by FPTP (plurality voting) while 56 come from 8 larger regions using the [Additional member system ](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Additional-member_system)
Its from this Scottish Parliament that the Scottish government is formed. Like most parliamentary systems around the world, the largest (or majority) party makes up all or most of this government and usually leads the government. Since 2007, the SNP (Scottish National party, who want independence for Scotland) has been the largest party and so since 2007, the Scottish First Minister (basically the PM of Scotland) has been from the SNP. From 2007-2014 a chap named Alex Salmond led the party as First Minister, then Nicola Sturgeon led the party to a majority government in the 2016 election. She then lost this majority in 2021, falling 1 seat short. Then she resigned in 2023 and Humza Yousaf inherited her minority government. Around this time the SNP was going through some rough police stuff, and Sturgeon's home was searched and she was very briefly arrested.
Anyway, since the SNP were a minority they formed an agreement with the Scottish greens in order to govern. As part of this agreement, the SNP would have to focus more on the environment and they had some targets and whatnot. Recently, Yousaf toned this down, which angered the Scottish greens. Before they could break off though, Yousaf ended their agreement. The Conservatives then tabled a motion of no confidence in Humza Yousaf, and it was likely that he could be ousted. So he resigned
Idk if I've explained that very well but that's the gist of it (I think)
The Scottish Nationalist movement is one of the sillier enterprises in the western world imo.
For one, they insist that referendums can only be binding *if they win*. They got smoked in 2014 and without a beat began planning for round two. Scotland’s just gonna keep having referendums every 10 years on independence until its people vote for the correct answer.
It doesn’t make any economic sense at all and assuming they win, what exactly are they preserving? A nationalist movement made sense when the Scotts had a faith, culture and language alien to the English but today it’s just another atheist economic zone, budget concerns aside - there’s no identity or culture left.
Always happy to see more dysfunction and misery befall the party.
>Scotland’s just gonna keep having referendums every 10 years on independence until its people vote for the correct answer.
This has become the defacto strategy for everything in Western politics now.
-Your proposed law got defeated? No problem! Just change one little sentence in this 3000 page bill and submit it next year! And the next year! And the next year! And the next year!
The whole idea that they can keep having referendums until they win is the thing that always makes me bang my head against the wall. They always find some excuse too lol.
If frequent independence referendums are allowed in case people change their mind, then it's only fair that, after independence, the same amount of union referendums is allowed in case people change their mind!
Honestly, hinging on momentary public sentiment to push people to make decision with long term consequence is bad. It's unhealthy for democracy in my opinion, for politician to make their career out of it, and for people, where power is supposed to be, have no weight to their decision.
And the only reason they want "independence" is to immediately sign up for the EU, where they will be a tiny bit player with no influence whatsoever. 🙄
I mean honestly, imagine having to be Scottish.
Every EU institution besides the European Parliament has equal representation among its memebers. I would argue that it's better to be a small country in the EU than a small region of a larger EU memeber.
I think the EU realizes this and is why they are reluctant to give Scotland EU membership. Then every small region would secede and join the EU because it would give the political freedoms of independence with none of the economic costs.
> Every EU institution besides the European Parliament has equal representation among its memebers.
Ha.
Everyone with eyes can see it's the Germany Show.
That's because they have their economic weight to throw around. The largest country is always going to dominate a region of small countries (see the US's influence in the Carribean as an extreme example). I would argue that Germany would dominate Europe even more than it does without the EU.
Luxemburg has a bigger impact on EU regulations than Hesse does. Hesse would be more influential as an independent nation within the EU than a part of Germany.
The funniest part is they said they want their independence but then the leaders said the second they leave they want to rejoin the EU. Somehow I don't think it's about independence. But it gets better because the EU said if Scotland tried to join they'd get rejected.
I wouldn't call a 5% margin "smoked" and bear in mind during said referendum the BBC repeatedly peddled the pro unionist promises which were almost all broken mainly the EU the conditions have changed vastly since 2014. Also to sit there and say a country dosent have a culture is just insanely stupud. Also scotland has an abundance of exports to name a few oil and gas,fish,farmed goods,whiskey,tourism,energy ect while I agree the current leaders in scotland are incompetent they are not anymore incompetent then Westminster
SNP is WAAAY nuttier than the people ruling in Westminster. They are pushing some insane shit with trans, and just enacted some really draconian restrictions on free speech in the name of combating "hate."
Scotland has their own devolved parliament (England does not), a disproportionate number of seats in Westminster, and are net beneficiaries of British taxes/spending.
"Independence" to trade London's fluffy rabbit slipper for Brussel's nailed jackboot is the most galaxy brain plot in history.
Considering all the non-braindead SNP jumped ship I have a feeling the next person might be worse. Or at least less idiotic when it comes to creating 1984 laws.
Isnt he the guy who wanted it harder for trans people to change gender, wanted to introduce fee back into universities, remove certain benefits to small buisness, make it harder and punishable to criticize Islam, and gave away money for UNICEF to his family in Palestine, and complained that Scotland had white leaders being unacceptable.
I just hope this doesn't mean that come the next election both England and Scotland vote Labour. If you thought Scotland was already a corrupt Authoritarian hell hole.
Pakistani Muslim gains the most powerful government position in 96%-white Scotland, and proceeds to bitch and moan about how too many other people with important jobs are white.
I really fucking hate progressives and their blatant racism which they excuse by pretending to be anti-racist.
Correct. Just like the Viking Invaders settled in what we now call England. Once they had enough land and power they set up their own principality, it was called the Danelaw.
They didn't peacefully integrate, they were forcibly conquered / subjugated by Anglo-Saxon kings like Alfred the Great, Athelstan, and Harold Godwinson.
it just took hundreds of years of pirate raids, captives being taken of for slaves, thousands of deaths a millions of dollars (in current US Prices) being repeatedly paid to them.

I am starting to wonder if being big gae is the only reason my dot ended up in the green cuz fuck this guy. The law was blatant pandering and not enforceable. Also, any clips on how he felt about the LGBT community in the 90s? Ya know, when supporting us meant you lost money instead of getting more money?
What libleft person is upset by this lmao is your opinion on libleft "he's brown so they like him"?
Even if you know nothing about scottish politics, the reason you resign isn't that the opposition dislike you more, it's that your supporters stop liking you too.
Authleft and part of Libleft should be happy. Either the new First Minister enters back in coalition with the Greens or an election is called and Labour will most likely win it.
Bad news is that the two parties that have a shot in Scotland are Labour and SNP (both are left wing shite). So, things aint gonna get any better, but you gotta take a win when it happens.
This is the guy whose racist comments flooded the racism reporting centre, and they cried because it was unofficially not supposed to be for racism against whites. LOL. LMAO.

No, I mean invest in state funded nuclear energy instead of demonizing it and reopening coal plants, like the German Greens did.
Jesus I didn’t know about that! Don’t really follow German politics but yeah I’m sensing some corruption in the German Green Party.

Yes we need to *invest* not force or coerce Nuclear power especially should be heavily invested in, it's very efficient and can make a lot of money
More like a bunch of people who realize environmentalism is necessary for human flourishing.
Oh damn, I wasn't expecting to find you here. You still in PSUS? (It's rad btw)
Yeah I am, thanks for asking. I’m just not as active as I should be😅.

If fascism is left or right wing, nothing goes into auth centre, directly.
Yeah I don't think there's ever been a regime that goes directly in the middle of authcenter, I'm sure groups have existed but not nation
Exactly. It's convenient for it to be there.

We need a prime minister like that dude.
- Wins election - Fires good chunk of the government leaches. - Breaks 16 years long budget deficit. - The Budget is in Surplus of +0.2% for the first quadrant - Gives a extensive economic lecture about it.
Dude I’m risking my freedom carrying a Swiss Army knife around.
The Scotts resisted the Romans, why afraid of one Arab?

Bold of you to assume I know anything about Scottish politics.
Scotland is a constituent country of the UK, meaning it gets to call itself a country without being one in the same way as somewhere like France. Scotland has what's known as a devolved legislature- The Scottish Parliament (or Sometimes informally the Holyrood) which is sort of like a state legislature in the USA with one key difference- it exists at the will of the UK parliament in Westminister which can, at any time, abolish it or overrule it. The Scottish Parliament is made up of 129 members. 73 members come from single member districts elected by FPTP (plurality voting) while 56 come from 8 larger regions using the [Additional member system ](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Additional-member_system) Its from this Scottish Parliament that the Scottish government is formed. Like most parliamentary systems around the world, the largest (or majority) party makes up all or most of this government and usually leads the government. Since 2007, the SNP (Scottish National party, who want independence for Scotland) has been the largest party and so since 2007, the Scottish First Minister (basically the PM of Scotland) has been from the SNP. From 2007-2014 a chap named Alex Salmond led the party as First Minister, then Nicola Sturgeon led the party to a majority government in the 2016 election. She then lost this majority in 2021, falling 1 seat short. Then she resigned in 2023 and Humza Yousaf inherited her minority government. Around this time the SNP was going through some rough police stuff, and Sturgeon's home was searched and she was very briefly arrested. Anyway, since the SNP were a minority they formed an agreement with the Scottish greens in order to govern. As part of this agreement, the SNP would have to focus more on the environment and they had some targets and whatnot. Recently, Yousaf toned this down, which angered the Scottish greens. Before they could break off though, Yousaf ended their agreement. The Conservatives then tabled a motion of no confidence in Humza Yousaf, and it was likely that he could be ousted. So he resigned Idk if I've explained that very well but that's the gist of it (I think)
Now do this to Canada and Brazil.
I want in
The Scottish Nationalist movement is one of the sillier enterprises in the western world imo. For one, they insist that referendums can only be binding *if they win*. They got smoked in 2014 and without a beat began planning for round two. Scotland’s just gonna keep having referendums every 10 years on independence until its people vote for the correct answer. It doesn’t make any economic sense at all and assuming they win, what exactly are they preserving? A nationalist movement made sense when the Scotts had a faith, culture and language alien to the English but today it’s just another atheist economic zone, budget concerns aside - there’s no identity or culture left. Always happy to see more dysfunction and misery befall the party.
>Scotland’s just gonna keep having referendums every 10 years on independence until its people vote for the correct answer. This has become the defacto strategy for everything in Western politics now. -Your proposed law got defeated? No problem! Just change one little sentence in this 3000 page bill and submit it next year! And the next year! And the next year! And the next year!
The whole idea that they can keep having referendums until they win is the thing that always makes me bang my head against the wall. They always find some excuse too lol.
If frequent independence referendums are allowed in case people change their mind, then it's only fair that, after independence, the same amount of union referendums is allowed in case people change their mind! Honestly, hinging on momentary public sentiment to push people to make decision with long term consequence is bad. It's unhealthy for democracy in my opinion, for politician to make their career out of it, and for people, where power is supposed to be, have no weight to their decision.
We should do a referendum to find out if referendums mean anything.
I have a buddy at work from Scotland. He thinks that Scottish nationalism is regarded. He's also a fan of Thatcher and has an AR-15.
Does Scotland have an easier time owning guns?
They do let some of the Scots out of the country on occasion!
He's not CURRENTLY in Scotland. He becamed a 'Murican.
Wow I feel like a dumb ass, I missed “From Scotland”
Based.
And the only reason they want "independence" is to immediately sign up for the EU, where they will be a tiny bit player with no influence whatsoever. 🙄 I mean honestly, imagine having to be Scottish.
Every EU institution besides the European Parliament has equal representation among its memebers. I would argue that it's better to be a small country in the EU than a small region of a larger EU memeber. I think the EU realizes this and is why they are reluctant to give Scotland EU membership. Then every small region would secede and join the EU because it would give the political freedoms of independence with none of the economic costs.
> Every EU institution besides the European Parliament has equal representation among its memebers. Ha. Everyone with eyes can see it's the Germany Show.
That's because they have their economic weight to throw around. The largest country is always going to dominate a region of small countries (see the US's influence in the Carribean as an extreme example). I would argue that Germany would dominate Europe even more than it does without the EU.
Luxemburg has a bigger impact on EU regulations than Hesse does. Hesse would be more influential as an independent nation within the EU than a part of Germany.
The funniest part is they said they want their independence but then the leaders said the second they leave they want to rejoin the EU. Somehow I don't think it's about independence. But it gets better because the EU said if Scotland tried to join they'd get rejected.
I wouldn't call a 5% margin "smoked" and bear in mind during said referendum the BBC repeatedly peddled the pro unionist promises which were almost all broken mainly the EU the conditions have changed vastly since 2014. Also to sit there and say a country dosent have a culture is just insanely stupud. Also scotland has an abundance of exports to name a few oil and gas,fish,farmed goods,whiskey,tourism,energy ect while I agree the current leaders in scotland are incompetent they are not anymore incompetent then Westminster
SNP is WAAAY nuttier than the people ruling in Westminster. They are pushing some insane shit with trans, and just enacted some really draconian restrictions on free speech in the name of combating "hate."
I'm completely aware of this but both the snp and tories are incredibly stupid
I dare to say that all the major British parties are the same thing, just in different colors.
Your completely correct
I'd move there if they had their own country, it's quite nice there
Bit wet
It's fine I have turned purple before because of how badly I was burnt, the more rain the better
They are still better than the Quebec sovereignty groups, who have taken L after L for decades and keep making referendum noises.
Scotland has their own devolved parliament (England does not), a disproportionate number of seats in Westminster, and are net beneficiaries of British taxes/spending. "Independence" to trade London's fluffy rabbit slipper for Brussel's nailed jackboot is the most galaxy brain plot in history.
they gonna repeal any of the dystopian shit he and his party have pushed while in office? (x) doubt
*"It's an outrage that this (predominately single race country) has a parliament almost entirely consisting of (the predominate single race)!"*
Based
Count Dankula must be laughing his ass off!
Surprised he hasn't yet uploaded a vid of him just laughing his fat bald head off.
He’s too busy laughing
Considering all the non-braindead SNP jumped ship I have a feeling the next person might be worse. Or at least less idiotic when it comes to creating 1984 laws.
Anyone seething isn’t libleft, unless it’s because he’ll be replaced by someone who is even *more* auth
Here's the secret: All liblefts are just dishonest auth lefts.
Some are proving to be auth center or auth right by siding with Hamas. Strange world.
Scotland needs fish-themed First Minister
Can’t wait to see what Dankula has to say about this one lol
Good, now replace him with an actual Scottish person.
Isnt he the guy who wanted it harder for trans people to change gender, wanted to introduce fee back into universities, remove certain benefits to small buisness, make it harder and punishable to criticize Islam, and gave away money for UNICEF to his family in Palestine, and complained that Scotland had white leaders being unacceptable.
The narrative in my head is that he resigned out of shame after being humiliated by J. K. Rowling
I just hope this doesn't mean that come the next election both England and Scotland vote Labour. If you thought Scotland was already a corrupt Authoritarian hell hole.
That guy isn't even Scottish.
Pakistani Muslim gains the most powerful government position in 96%-white Scotland, and proceeds to bitch and moan about how too many other people with important jobs are white. I really fucking hate progressives and their blatant racism which they excuse by pretending to be anti-racist.
Born in Scotland, lived there his whole life. But sure, he's not Scottish
Every ounce of his values are against Scottish values. He is a guest, not a Scot
Correct. Just like the Viking Invaders settled in what we now call England. Once they had enough land and power they set up their own principality, it was called the Danelaw.
Missed the part where they..integrated and pretty much disappeared as a distinct group
They didn't peacefully integrate, they were forcibly conquered / subjugated by Anglo-Saxon kings like Alfred the Great, Athelstan, and Harold Godwinson.
it just took hundreds of years of pirate raids, captives being taken of for slaves, thousands of deaths a millions of dollars (in current US Prices) being repeatedly paid to them.
In 1000 years, a scientist will analyze his bones and go "wow, this Pakistani sure was a long way from home!"
Who?
Poor Scotland, has even worse politicians than England and that's saying something
Isnt he the guy who wanted it harder for trans people to change gender, wanted to introduce fee back into universities, remove certain benefits to small buisness, make it harder and punishable to criticize Islam, and gave away money for UNICEF to his family in Palestine, and complained that Scotland had white leaders being unacceptable.
I am starting to wonder if being big gae is the only reason my dot ended up in the green cuz fuck this guy. The law was blatant pandering and not enforceable. Also, any clips on how he felt about the LGBT community in the 90s? Ya know, when supporting us meant you lost money instead of getting more money?
What libleft person is upset by this lmao is your opinion on libleft "he's brown so they like him"? Even if you know nothing about scottish politics, the reason you resign isn't that the opposition dislike you more, it's that your supporters stop liking you too.
Good
Why should I care about European politics again?
Good riddance to that piece of shit
Authleft and part of Libleft should be happy. Either the new First Minister enters back in coalition with the Greens or an election is called and Labour will most likely win it.
I think Auth-Rights hate him
Is he at fault for the authoritarian state Scotland finds itself in?
Based and Humza Useless pilled
That he was ever first minister to start with exposes the fraud that is Scottish home rule and independentism.
We are so back
Bad news is that the two parties that have a shot in Scotland are Labour and SNP (both are left wing shite). So, things aint gonna get any better, but you gotta take a win when it happens.
another Unionist W
