After the Wehrmacht took Bydgoszcz in September 1939, the Nazis carried out reprisals against the city’s Poles for the " Bloody Sunday " clashes of 3 and 4 September.
General Walter Braemer himself estimated that at least 400 people were shot between 5 and 8 September. Hundreds more followed, including public executions on the Old Market Square on 9 and 10 September and the shooting of captured members of the Civic Guard. People were also killed in the Bielawki hills, in barracks and at other sites around the city.
The killing went on in secret until December. Polish estimates put the number of Poles and Jews murdered in Bydgoszcz between September and December 1939 at about 5,000, including the victims of the Fordon Valley of Death.
The killers were Einsatzkommando 1/IV under Helmut Bischoff, part of Lothar Beutel’s Einsatzgruppe IV, along with Wehrmacht rear-area troops under Braemer, Field Police Section 581 and the 6th Motorized Police Battalion. No conviction for the September reprisals has been found.

SNP Ministers are treating local MSPs with utter contempt.
I wrote twice to the Health Secretary privately to seek an explanation as to why I was excluded from an important meeting regarding the critical incident at Dr Gray's Hospital.
She has ignored both of those requests. This is is a breach of the Ministerial code, but more importantly it has stopped me from representing my constituents interests.
I am now making my third attempt at an answer public.

Reform ➡️ only exists because there’s a real problem in our communities, and the established parties are not prepared to listen‼️

I know the caseload of MSPs - I worked for one. I used to be a councillor, so I know that caseload too. I doubt any MSP can justify a dedicated post of 22.5 hours a week dealing with refugees at £30k pa.

This exposes the problem with list MSPs who are accountable to no-one but their party. Kate Nevens (Green MSP) uses public money to hire a migrant justice officer - immigration is a reserved issue. Surely a deeply cynical use of public money for purely political purposes. (Free to read)

The country has been held back by Net Zero ideology for long enough – it is time to unleash the full power of the North Sea.
