Sex offending councillors – Spot the difference

By NMRN

Spot the difference.

BBC Scotland news website :

February 2024 headline

Former SNP councillor charged with multiple sexual offences”

Then we read….this….

March 2024 (today) headline (6th story) via the BBC Scotland website (soon perhaps to disappear from their website)….

Ex-councillor jailed for having indecent images of children”

Guess which party the “Ex councillor” was from…..no…not the SNP as that would have been in the BBC’s headline….well he was an ex Labour councillor.

So the BBC team think it is compulsory to note the party name in their headline when tis the SNP….but no need to name the party when tis a Pro UK party….this is a regular behaviour we witness via the BBC website.

As too did these following ‘papers’ also note the former party name (as in him being an ex SNP Councillor) The Sun, The Daily Record, Daily Express, The Scotsman, The Courier, The Independent, SKY News, The Times, The Herald, The Daily Mail…..and also papers darn Sarf did too….as in the Slough Observer, Surrey Comet, Dorset Echo, The York Press and the Ely Standard……so #SNPBAD is a UK growing trend then.

So now the ex Labour councillor has been jailed for 28 months after admitting possessing indecent images of children.

But wait how did the press headline the news via this ex Labour councillor…….well….

The Herald “Disgraced former Clydebank Councillor Craig Edward Jailed” (no party name)

The Daily Record “Disgraced former West Dunbartonshire councillor jailed” (no party name)

So far the only reference to this ex Labour councillor via other papers was where he had been caught or snared via his offences but headlines did NOT yet again name his former party…i.e. Labour party.

But we are supposed to believe there is no ongoing vendetta via the media in promoting anything negative about the SNP…via anyone connected to the party both in the past and the present….in the press/media always, via their headlines, highlighting the party name i.e. SNP as in #SNPBAD…..while simultanously similar stories linked to Pro UK parties the same press and media omit their party name in the headlines when tis a #BAD story..…so not a conspiracy theory but an actual reality.

Bad apples….yep there is in all parties….but the public when passing news stands in shops and supermarkets and perhaps browsing the headlines (but not actually buying the paper) are left in NO doubt who the individual was formerly a politician for when tis the SNP…..but they would need to buy the paper and read the content of the story to establish which party they were with whenever it is a Pro UK #BAD politician (ex or current)…….that’s a not so subtle form of propaganda.

  1. https://www.parliament.scot/-/media/files/committees/criminal-justice-committee/cjs062024r02.pdf The Scottish government want to change the law proposals include abolishing the not proven verdict and 15 person juries with some courts having no jury just a judge , its proposed in sexual offence cases the victim get lifelong anonimity and proposed anonimity after death , if an accused is found not guilty they will not get anonimity the accuser may still get anonimity , Lady Dorian is mentioned in this report , Alex Salmond is not mentioned in this report.
