At last, a Labour MP sees how dangerous Labour’s nuclear energy policy is
Well, I suppose it’s good to see this, even if a little later and on contrary tack at times to our earlier predictions. First, from the high-status Foreign Policy on January 20th 2025: Labour’s planned small modular reactors – inefficient, polluting and carcinogenic – will also be dependent on high-assay low-enriched uranium (HALEU) from Putin’s Russia which has ‘complete monopoly’ to undermine our energy security For the United States—a country that, especially under incoming President-elect Donald Trump, aspires to be not only energy secure but energy dominant—one energy insecurity problem remains, which could dog the development of a key source … Continue reading At last, a Labour MP sees how dangerous Labour’s nuclear energy policy is
Glenn Campbell’s Podcast dare not question the Conservative plans to strip Holyrood of powers
By Liz S “Latest Tory proposal is to prevent the Scottish Parliament from pursuing its own vision, goals and objectives”! What Bowie stated in his speech, in that a future Tory government would overrule the Scottish government on Nuclear in Scotland , was of absolutely no interest to the BBC in Scotland on their website or in their news reports, as apparently that , as news, was not important. But wait what of BBC Scotland’s Scotcast ? Scotcast is supposedly a current affairs and news podcast produced by BBC Scotland that is on TV twice daily from Monday to Friday. … Continue reading Glenn Campbell’s Podcast dare not question the Conservative plans to strip Holyrood of powers
Glasgow Labour did not just build a hospital near a huge source of deadly bacteria but also of cyanides, arsenic and cadmium
Cadmium? One of the main effects of cadmium poisoning is weak and brittle bones. The bones become soft (osteomalacia), lose bone mineral density (osteoporosis), and become weaker. This results in joint and back pain, and increases the risk of fractures. Spinal and leg pain is common, and a waddling gait often develops due to bone deformities caused by the long-term cadmium exposure. The pain eventually becomes debilitating, with fractures becoming more common as the bone weakens. Permanent deformation in bones can occur. In extreme cases of cadmium poisoning, mere body weight can cause a fracture. The Times on 24 November … Continue reading Glasgow Labour did not just build a hospital near a huge source of deadly bacteria but also of cyanides, arsenic and cadmium

From the Guardian today, the above, and: The Labour chair of the Commons housing committee is urging John Healey to bring forward billions of pounds of planned spending on social and affordable homes in England, after housing associations said they were ready to build tens of thousands more.

Public Health ‘disaster’ in England as hospital critical incidents run at 2 to 4 times the level in Scotland
From BBC Scotland yesterday, the above and: Staff sickness was a major factor behind the critical incident declared by NHS Grampian last month, its chief executive has said. A board-level critical incident had been declared on Saturday 26 September, when A&Es at both Aberdeen Royal Infirmary (ARI) and Dr Gray’s in Elgin struggled to cope with demand. That was stood down on the Monday, and remained in place at hospital level at Dr Gray’s until the next day.

Gaslighting the people over a managed and insignificant gas leak on an almost empty ferry – Whether or not Stephen Flynn saw the emails does not matter
From BBC Scotland today: Transport Secretary Stephen Flynn told a Holyrood committee he knew nothing about a gas leak on board a CalMac ferry, despite records showing he had been emailed about the incident. A faulty valve led to 700kg of methane gas being vented from the side of MV Glen Sannox while it was carrying passengers from Arran to Troon in June 2025. Flynn claimed he missed a BBC Scotland report on the incident as he was facetiming his children before he appeared in front of the transport committee last month. But a briefing document released via a freedom … Continue reading Gaslighting the people over a managed and insignificant gas leak on an almost empty ferry – Whether or not Stephen Flynn saw the emails does not matter
No matter how they try Scotland is not having England’s maternity crisis – It’s just a review
BBC Scotland’s Lisa Summers trying to keep up the exaggerated image of the significance of Scotland’s National Maternity Review interviewing the Chair, Professor Christine McCourt and claiming that the review came ‘after’ the BBC Disclosure series discovered a series of safety failings. As with the other Reporting Scotland story today on violent crime, their piece on the Maternity ‘Review‘ is a desparate attempt to give NHS Scotland one of these: A rapid national investigation into NHS maternity and neonatal services has been ordered by Health and Social Care Secretary, Wes Streeting. This is to provide truth and accountability for impacted … Continue reading No matter how they try Scotland is not having England’s maternity crisis – It’s just a review
Why is Her Majesty’s Inspector of Constabulary only investigating how police investigate violence in Scotland when it is the lowest in the UK here?

Talking-up Scotland in 2026 will easily beat last year’s number of reports written and visitors attracted with almost three months, 84 days, still to go
It’s with great pleasure that I can reveal the significantly increased audience and the presumably connected surge in our output of well-researched rebuttals of media lies and revelations of good news for Scotland, hidden by the same media. It’s with less pleasure that I must note the ironically reducing success in crowd-funding to enable the very success it has so far helped us to achieve, in the last three campaigns. I’ve heard that, paradoxically, if a blog is already productive, people are less likely to donate, thinking it robust and inevitably then ensuring its subsequent eventual demise. As always many … Continue reading Talking-up Scotland in 2026 will easily beat last year’s number of reports written and visitors attracted with almost three months, 84 days, still to go
