BBC UK report on Labour’s energy plans this morning with a fairly full account of the criticism of them, including John Swinney’s simple assessment:
25 minutes later BBC Scotland offer an uncritical advert for Labour
Not a word of criticism of their plans.
A simple piece of comparative reporting for an S4 Modern Studies class lesson on propaganda by, of course, a decent teacher, not that ethnic cleansing apologist Michael Shanks in Rutherglen.

Scotland should be in control of the fuel and energy industry. Scotland in surplus pays more. Independence.

I saw Kate Forbes on the BBC Network news this morning about 08:00 giving a good rebuttal of the proposed GB Energy proposals along with other good responses to questions put to her.
If you see any of that particular interview on BBC Scotland I will be very surprised or if it is, it will be very heavily edited.

It’ll probably start along the lines of, “The deputy first minister whose previous attempt for the post of first minister was mired in controversy..”

This is the only policy Labour is pushing, even though they insist on telling us ‘change is coming’ and the only one their leader hasn’t u-turned on. He can’t because he knows full well the only way a UK energy policy can succeed is if Scotland is included. It’s the only reason it’s being hailed as a Scottish initiative, based in Scotland. Otherwise, we would be hearing nothing about it.

The British National Oil Corporation HQ set up by the 1970s Labour Government when it stole Scotland’s oil, after suppressing for a long time the report on the extent of the oil and gas reserves, was just along the street in Glasgow from where my mother lived. This was Labour’s ‘commitment’ to the people of Scotland. Thatcher sold it off and used the oil revenues to deindustrialise much of the UK and to destroy the unions. Blair and Brown both invited a then senile Thatcher to Downing St to signal to the City that their profits and bonuses were safe under Labour. “Socialist” Starmer and Reeves have given their paeans to the memory of Thatcher and now Starmer launches his colonialist renewable energy asset stripping plan today.

”Change is coming” …this mantra is spouted endlessly by Starmer in place of actual policy ! This is Starmer’s version of Blair’s ” Education , Education , Education ”.
Unlike the superficial appeal of Blair , Starmer has all the appeal and charisma of a middle-age bank manager telling a customer that the bank has seized his house and made him and his family homeless .

Who wants to watch two of the most boring people on the planet play oneupmanship on telly when neither of them means a word they say. At least Stephen Flynn would have livened things up a bit.

Labour are only plugging the “based in Scotland “ line to try to win back voters from SNP while the con artists in UK media promote the lie that Labour seats in Scotland make a difference to the outcome of the UK GE election which they never have. England always gets what English vote for, or perhaps more accurately only a minority vote for given the distortion of the FPTP voting system. We were already 90% disadvantaged before but the gerrymandering of voting by reduced seats in Scotland and increased seats in England are bound to have exacerbated that. John might need to amend his usual population comparisons to reflect that.
