Just when you thought Scottish politics had peaked with bagpipes in the Commons and haggis tariffs, along comes an African “king” claiming to be the Jewish messiah, ruling over a woodland cult with a diet of shortbread and spiritualised Irn-Bru. Yes, this actually happened. No, we are not making it up. Welcome to the Highland holy order of divine delusion meets snack-based diplomacy.

This wasn’t just a quirky glamping weekend. This was an illegal encampment in the Scottish wilderness, where a self-declared messiah set up shop among his “lost tribe,” who worshipped him with fizzy drinks and Walkers shortbread like it was scripture.
Forget gold, frankincense and myrrh—this Messiah demands caramel wafers and a bottle of Scotland’s second-most radioactive beverage.
Unfortunately, divine squatters’ rights don’t hold up in court. The group was swiftly evicted, much to the confusion of Forestry and Land Scotland officials who had to explain to lawyers that “being the reincarnated King of the Israelites” isn’t valid grounds for woodland occupancy—even if you do recycle your Irn-Bru cans.
But let’s not be too harsh. At least this cult had snacks, manners, and a dress code. That’s more than can be said for most of Parliament.
