SCOTTISH Secretary Ian Murray is one of several politicians to have removed a fringe pro-Union group from his feed on Twitter/X after a series of racist posts – as well as a call to bomb Holyrood.
The Majority, an ultra-Unionist group which campaigns for the abolition of the Scottish Parliament, was also followed by political leaders such as the LibDems’ Alex Cole-Hamilton and Scottish Labour depute leader Jackie Baillie before questions were asked about the posts by The National.
The Scottish Tories’ leader Russell Findlay continues to follow the group – along with a swathe of his MSPs – and the party did not respond to this paper’s approach.
On June 14, days after Israel had bombed Iran in a major escalation of conflict in the Middle East, The Majority posted: “Dear Israel, while you’re at it, can you hit this target? 55.9523° N, 3.1749° W. Thanks!”
The co-ordinates in question are those of the Scottish Parliament at Holyrood.
Elsewhere, The Majority posted on July 30: “Out of around 100 people we walked past in Argyle Street in Glasgow last night, only two were white. Everyone else was Middle Eastern, Indian or black. What is going on?”
It added: “Walk down a city centre street, take a bus, go to a park: there are masses of black, Indian and Middle Eastern immigrants. Is it any surprise that people think that it’s out of control?”
In March, the account had written: “Immigrants from other cultures shouldn’t be wearing their national dress as daily wear in the UK. You don’t see Japanese immigrants to the UK wearing kimonos every day. If you want to integrate here, wear proper clothes. If you don’t, go back home and wear them there.”
The Majority then added: “Special occasions: fine. Going to get the milk: not fine.”
huh crazy how “The Majority” parrots the exact same rancid bigoted talking points as many of our own top 1% unionist commenters
Funny they mention Japanese, I seem to remember a story about them doing a lot of fraud in Japan before coming back to the UK.
Massive transphobes too. You know what they say, scratch a transphobe, find a racist.
The Majority has always been a giant piss baby propped up by Unionists in parliament. Hopefully this is the start of his Wings Over Yoonland arc.
Who even still uses the social media platform formerly known as twitter ?
Seriously though. A bunch of public entities, like Traffic Scotland, still have a twitter dingus, and I’d prefer they didn’t, and found some other method of providing updates.
Is that the account ran by the roasters who lived in fucking Japan for 20 years and now think they’re some sort of authority on Scottish politics?
I mind seeing that account on twitter sometimes. Absolute bloody melt
Not a good week for the yoons. They’ve been praising a massive racist – because they like one aspect of her bigotry – and now found to be fans of racists who also seem to qualify as inciting terrorism.
“The Majority” are not really a fringe group though, they’ve long had support from top yoons and I’m reasonably sure I’ve read some of their bile in major newspapers as well.
Once again, let’s designate extremist Westernism as terrorism.
Because it really sounds like it.
Asking Israel of all regimes to bomb your own country is fucking vile.
Imagine getting triggered by the mere existence of other human beings with different skin colours. What a pair of absolute fannies.
Pretty sure it was the Majority account behind that spin story that went big about bots supporting Independence (as if the British establishment didn’t perfect the use of bots and shady Cambridge Analytica type shit).
Exists in a urine soaked daisy chain of twitter self fellating with esteemed names like Stephen Kerr, Murdo Fraser, Alex Massie and ‘the history woman’. Absolute poison.
Why is the Scottish secretary following an account that calls for the dissolution of the Scottish Parliament. Is that the official position of Scottish Labour now?
The rest of the extremism is why they no longer follow it; I’m asking why they followed in the first place.
A call to bomb Holyrood is clearly terrorist activity. Following them is obviously support for said activity.
I look forward to the series of dawn raids.
Oh, these are *important* people? Oh well, carry on. Back to kicking the weak and vulnerable….
The Majority is Wings but for Unionists. Utterly batshit transphobe racist. The writing was on the wall years ago but nobody was willing to listen.
Ofc the notable part is that he disapproves.
The Majority used to be quite good at calling out Sturgeon and the SNP. Seems they’ve taken a turn for Reform as of late. Shame.
Would be awfully nice if politicians just fucking stopped being on social media, this sort of hiding-in-plain-sight account is only going to get more rampant and the damage has long been done with their sharing/liking nonsense before the inevitable switcheroo.
Unfollowing in this case after the horse has bolted is lolworthy.
