Wes Streeting and Ian Murray humiliated as Scotland’s roll-out of health data digitisation now seem likely to be smoother and quicker than that in England
Please Support Talking-up Scotland at: https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/support-talking-up-scotlandClick on the above. England’s Health Secretary, Wes Streeting, and the former Secretary of State for Scotland, Ian Murray, have delighted in the the alleged slower digitisation of health data in Scotland, even calling John Swinney, ‘analogue‘ in a very nerdy niche joke. However, in the Guardian yesterday: Health officials fear Palantir’s reputation will hinder the delivery of a “vital” £330m NHS contract, according to briefings seen by the Guardian, sparking fresh calls for the deal to be scrapped. In 2023, ministers selected Palantir, a US surveillance technology company that also works for the Israeli … Continue reading Wes Streeting and Ian Murray humiliated as Scotland’s roll-out of health data digitisation now seem likely to be smoother and quicker than that in England

Should Pam Duncan-Glancy not have tried to support her long time friend in some way?
Please Support Talking-up Scotland at: https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/support-talking-up-scotlandClick on the above. Alasdair Macdonald You are correct as always to point out and publicize the political anti-independence bias displayed by BBC Scotland and the unionist media. I should like to make a point exemplified by the issues in the articles you have used here. It concerns the identification of politicians and other higher profile figures who are associated in some way with individuals who have been accused of a crime even though the well known people are innocent of any crime. It is ‘guilt by association’. A fairly recent example was when a … Continue reading Should Pam Duncan-Glancy not have tried to support her long time friend in some way?
Labour MSP and friend of convicted paedophile disappears completely from BBC News in just two days unlike Nicola and Peter back in 2023
Please Support Talking-up Scotland at: https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/support-talking-up-scotlandClick on the above. Only the day before yesterday and Labour MSP Pam Duncan Glancy had doubled down on a defence of her friendship with a convicted paedophile so, was understandably the top story on the BBC Scotland website. Surely, this one would run and run, she was defending her contact with a paedophile, as we have seen with the now ten year-old ‘infected hospital deaths’ story featuring Anas Sarwar as heroic lead or the Sturgeon/Murrell ‘fraud’ case in 2023. Today, in record time, she’s gone, gone completely! Let’s compare this with BBC Scotland’s coverage … Continue reading Labour MSP and friend of convicted paedophile disappears completely from BBC News in just two days unlike Nicola and Peter back in 2023
Daily Record confuses ‘suspects’ with ‘criminals’ to scare you and ignores Scotland’s far lower murder rate and violence against women..to scare you
Please Support Talking-up Scotland at: https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/support-talking-up-scotlandClick on the above. Still fighting hard for Scottish Labour, the Record has another of it’s utterly dishonest and immoral front pages today, with in the opening lines: ‘Killers and rapists are among thousands of fugitives on cops’ wanted list.’ These are presumably suspects rather than criminals, as yet. Murder makes up only 0.015% and sexual violence makes up only 5% of all crime in Scotland so we’re not, as they hope you might think, talking about thousands of either. Here is the truth about murder in Scotland: Here is the truth about sex crimes: … Continue reading Daily Record confuses ‘suspects’ with ‘criminals’ to scare you and ignores Scotland’s far lower murder rate and violence against women..to scare you
Criminals stealing used cooking oil from Scotland’s chip shops are mobile groups ‘traveling to Scotland’ for opportunistic thefts
Please Support Talking-up Scotland at: https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/support-talking-up-scotlandClick on the above. We know that the hundred’s of County Lines drug gangs terrorising small town Scotland, increasing violent crime, prostitution, child abuse, and keeping drug deaths high are based entirely in large English cities such as London, Liverpool and Birmingham. They send child drug mules and violent enforcers into Scotland as far as Shetland. The recent reports, in newspapers and online, of criminals stealing used cooking oil from Scotland’s chip shops, are careful, as with most County Lines reports, to avoid suggesting that this might be similar. However, unscripted comments in broadcasts by … Continue reading Criminals stealing used cooking oil from Scotland’s chip shops are mobile groups ‘traveling to Scotland’ for opportunistic thefts
What kind of miserable wee s***e had the meanness of spirit to ask how much it cost to send the New York mayor an SNP baby box and which media outlet do they work for – what’s your guess?
Please Support Talking-up Scotland at: https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/support-talking-up-scotlandClick on the above. On the 23rd January, someone wrote to the Scottish Government to ask: Please provide copies of any internal correspondence, submissions, briefings or approvals relating to the decision. Please provide the total cost incurred by the Scottish Government in producing, packaging and sending the Baby Box. They got a reply on 4th February and it was published yesterday. https://www.gov.scot/publications/foi-202600503409/ In the correspondence you can see that the Social Justice Secretary Shirley-Anne Somerville had seen Mayor Mamdani express a desire to introduce a similar baby box in New York.

Another attempt to hide the true NHS England performance as waiting lists in Scotland keep falling
Please Support Talking-up Scotland at: https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/support-talking-up-scotlandClick on the above. Today, BBC UK present, uncritically, the suggestion that waiting lists are falling at the same time as they’re getting longer, in NHS Alice in Wonderland: BBC analysis shows more procedures and treatments are being carried out across the NHS in England, but still not enough to match the number of new patients joining waiting lists. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/l0057yrn This is just another attempt (more below) by NHS England to fiddle the figures on behalf of the Labour Government. The waiting list is the waiting list.

BBC UK find ’55 babies who died may have survived with better care’ to add to police investigations into hundreds of avoidable baby deaths in NHS England but none in Scotland and NHS England pays out twice as much for maternity failings!

Starmer told Sarwar to call for his resignation allowing him to seem to be standing up for Scotland and to flush out and scare off the real threats with a promise that he would then forgive him and he could carry on managing the Scottish branch office
Please Support Talking-up Scotland at:https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/support-talking-up-scotlandClick on the above. At 2.30pm on February 9th, Anas Sarwar called for the resignation of the deeply troubled Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer. He ended up acting alone. The big beasts, Streeting and Raynor, hesitated then pledged loyalty to Starmer. If anything, Starmer is now strengthened and his jolly, bullish manner at PMQs today suggests just that. How should this apparent treachery by Sarwar have worked out in a normal world? Starmer should have ‘had his guts for garters‘, maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but some day soon and for the rest of his … Continue reading Starmer told Sarwar to call for his resignation allowing him to seem to be standing up for Scotland and to flush out and scare off the real threats with a promise that he would then forgive him and he could carry on managing the Scottish branch office
