Sir Professor John Curtice lies barefaced about NHS Scotland and comes out as fully Labour

By Professor John Robertson

In the Telegraph today, Sir Professor John Curtice, Cornwall and Oxford, utterly evidence free, tells us:

Over the last two months, polls for this year’s Westminster election have on average put the party on just 33 per cent, twelve points down on 2019, and only neck and neck with a revived Labour party.

and

Meanwhile, voters are seemingly taking more notice of the SNP’s much criticised record in government, not least on the health service.

Really? I’ll leave the notion that Scottish Labour are in any way ‘revived’ as opposed to on life support from Pacific Quay, but NHS Scotland? Seemingly? Your source? Really? You want to go there?

Here are some up-to-date facts, from official figures, collated and compared by another less-lauded professor, Duns, Carronshore, Grangemouth and Paisley/Ayr, but evidence rich:

  1. John, I wish you would stop shilling for a failed and infiltrated SNP that thousands of us have left in disgust.

    I have had serious musculoskeletal problems for years now and I am nowhere near getting proper treatment. 

    The fact that others have failed does not let the SNP off the hook. We need to rip it up and start again with a new independence movement.

    These dodgy shysters and grifters You have shown naked contempt for the independence movement at large need to face the day of judgement.

    A parcel of rogues…

    1. Thanks John for highlighting that NHS Scotland provides a better service than other parts of the UK

      Without proper investment services will suffer and this can only be achieved by Independence

  6. Hi John, I note that you highlight in your Twitter account an article via Bella Caledonia called ‘Spitting out Lies’….which is justification for a crowdfund to continue with a alternate source of news via an online media blog supportive of independence for Scotland.

    I have stated many a time on here that the introduction of specific right wing rogue news channels being granted a licence to broadcast in the UK, was for Scotland, just an additional propaganda source….and thus surplus to requirement.

    The MSM, via televised news within Scotland, were already, as a media, ones that continually stated exactly the very same points, same adopted language and also opposition against independence and too against the SNP as a political party…..which these new rogue news channels have also been promoting on both of their channels via their presenters and guests.

    We also saw and still see the BBC political debate programme Question Time welcome , and thus obviously endorsing , right wing individuals within their panel that they invited onto the programme to opine upon politics within the UK…..many of these same individuals now have careers as presenters on both GB News & Talk TV and are still welcome as panel members on BBC QT ….

    We may often blame solely politicians for all of the mess that their UK finds itself in since the Brexit vote but we also need to source much of the blame to the MSM as well who, as a media, have been very much complicit in supporting, endorsing and attempting to brainwash the gullible among us to support bad policies and adopt the same offensive rhetoric that opposes those, who the establishment within the UK, deem to be the supposed undesirables and thus the supposed source of all ills within their UK…..thus giving the UK government a free pass on taking any responsibility and accountability for the mess they have caused within their UK.

    Talk TV , owned by Rupert Murdoch, is shutting down this year from broadcasting and will only be accessed via streaming….due to financial losses.

    GB News who have been reported as also suffering financial losses are currently implementing a redundancy exercise….though one only has to see who within their channel ,as a presenter , are the ones who are making a large profit via a (second) salary while simultanously sitting as a Tory MP…..to then think that surely savings could and should be made there with these high earners as opposed to ‘ordinary’ workers……

    Brexit IMO has destroyed the Tory party…..and if Labour intends to adopt it then it will also destroy them…..while MSM ignores the negative impacts of Brexit and pre the Brexit vote in 2016 they, as a media, chose to (over) platform Brexiteer politicians and individuals to sway public opinion to support it and vote for it…..now that same MSM ignores the many negative consequences of Brexit while the new rogue channels herald supposed wins via Brexit, which as a supposed wins , amounts to Jack **** (rhymes with SPIT) in significance for the ordinary man and woman in the street…….but for those with money sees them reap more financial gains to be had via the fallout…..while deregulation sees some of us suffer others, more privileged, reap the benefits to be had for their own business interests…..minus EU membership rules and regulations that would have formerly prohibited their taking advantage as they don now via the Tories ‘taking back control’ for the wealthy among us to flourish….

    “Spitting out lies”….is indeed not just the preferred method of new rogue news channels, as we in Scotland , have been and still are subjected to this type of behaviour and output via many British media news outlets in Scotland (and elsewhere in the UK too)…..indeed if any time was right then it is ‘Now is the time’ someone in politics or the media decided to start ‘Spitting out Truths’.…..especially via the biggest lie being repeated by their media……….. as in that Scotland was too wee and too poor to be independent…..as a lie that they, the media, promote on behalf of those politicians from political parties who are supportive of the UK remaining a state that still includes Scotland.

    That would set a ‘Cat among the pigeons’…..as in some Home Truths…..and also with a new independent Scotland how would England ‘Keep the wolf away from the door’….something else the media never reflect upon as the assumption is supposed to be that they, England, subsidise other nations within the UK…..while this supposed huge expense that England has, as a financial burden, is via what….charity, benevolence, sacrifice, sentimental or is it that perhaps the wealth they retain is sourced from other places than England within their UK and thus like Brexit is a subject to Omerta being widely applied….for reasons all too obvious.

    If you want the REAL news then go onto trusted sites on social media….as without social media you would never ever get to hear the news where you are or where anyone else is in their UK either….via either MSM and also certainly not on the rogue new so called ‘News’ channels…..as you will only hear what they both want you to hear and read about ( as in what they dictate is news) and also only allow you to hear and read about what they promote as important (but in the grand scheme of all things important only actually really equates to amounting to Jack **** (rhymes with SPIT) in significance and impact for ordinary people and their lives….and that is not news at all that is just propaganda all done to hide the real news ……that is…in the UK preferred method of communicating their versions of the news every day in their UK….same one that unites in proclaiming #SNPBAD…..Yawn…..but also forever WFT.

  7. Curtice is anti SNP anti Scottish independence and his data or whatever he uses to conjure his stats are suspect to say the least. Just the fact he gets a platform by the Brit state tells us all we need to know about his motives, a nasty man imo.

  9. I am sure that Prof. John Curtice has a good reason for his strange observation in the Telegraph.

    Far be it from me to imply that the Telegraph may indeed be offering a small gratuity for a suitable article, but who knows..

    However, in my opinion, such as I have one. If he truthfully praised the SNP or the Scottish Health Service, then perhaps his services and any future recompense from the Telegraph may soon dry up.

  10. Millionaire pollsters use Scottish funds to campaign against Scotland. Paid by the unionists Press. MSM always gets it wrong, then makes up excuses. Leveson recommendations not implemented.

    MSM owned by non dom tax evading owners, breaking the Law with impunity. Pollsters breaking electoral Laws with imunity. Censored and fined many times. Wasting public and private monies trying to manipulate the vote.

  11. The Tories cut NHS funding. ConDems. 2010. Funded £125Billion. Not increased. Despite an increased elderly population. Use the NHS more. Frail bodies. No increase from 2015.

    Tories funded Covid £270Billion over two years. Much of it wasted. On non regulated contracts. The Tories and their associates cashing in. Fraudulent. £370Billion being spent over a lifetime.

    Tories spending £1090Billion a year. UK Gov whole accounts. 2020/21. Internet.

    Scottish Gov funding SNHS £13Billion + social care. Prescriptions. Keep people well. Less need for higher hospital admissions. Social care. People can stay in their own homes. Not expensive residential home or hospital care.

    MUP cutting ill health and hospital admissions. Scottish Gov funding proper total abstinence rehab facilities. £250Million over five years. People getting help and funding. AA and NA help people stay well.
