Criminals from major cities such as London, Liverpool, Manchester and Birmingham are expanding their drug networks into rural and suburban areas throughout Scotland

Tarves (population 1 080) on 29 June 2024 react with shock to the above in the P&J local newspaper.

BBC Scotland NE did not cover the story but STV NE did and mentioned County Lines in the headline.

BBC Scotland has only covered County Lines drug gangs 3 times since 2019 with the last, naming them and their origins, in 2021.

This plague is big news across Aberdeenshire:

Police Scotland, whose activity in investigating supposed SNP fraud has been of endless fascination for BBC Scotland, are heavily involved:

BBC Scotland’s clear aversion to covering this plague of violence and related abuse, all from English cities, terrorising small-town Scotland, could not be more newsworthy by normal journalistic standards and a clear dereliction of their duties as a taxpayer-funded public service broadcaster, is astonishing only if you doubt their agenda to defend the Union at all costs.

This comment from their recent response to a formal complaint reveals the extent of that agenda:

Notwithstanding the rather contradictory nature of your complaint where you first highlight that “County Lines gangs [are] based in large English cities… There are no County Lines gangs based in Scottish cities” and then ask why there hasn’t been the same level of coverage in Scotland as there has been in England…..

What!!!???

Footnote: What about their fearless Disclosure team which claims to have solved a murder recently? Have go at investigating these gangs? Go on, I dare you.

The consequences of this plague are already their in statistics:

In the Express yesterday, we read:

Knife crime epidemic rising faster in market towns after spread of county lines drug gangs. Knife crime is rising more rapidly in rural counties and market towns than in cities, a study has found. Although most of the police forces in the top 10 included large inner city areas, the study found offences were soaring at an alarming rate outside of urban regions.

According to Police Scotland, there are more than 50 County Lines drug and child-abusing groups active in Scotland, first identified in 2019, commonly in smaller towns where there is no existing local gang strong enough to resist their extreme violence or to compete with their prices. Auchinleck in East Ayrshire seems to be the only case of locals driving them out last November.

They are also more common up the east coast of Scotland, using the railway lines for their underage carriers and in the more deprived areas where their is a reasonably large existing market. In 2019, police raids were being made in Peterhead and in recent months they have raided in places as far north as Wick and as small as Tarves.

While there are no data available for knife crime specifically, a survey of non-sexual crimes of violence from 2018-2022 reveals a similar pattern to that found in England and reinforcing the evidence that County Lines gang activity is fuelling major surges in violence in Scotland’s smaller towns which had previously low levels of such crime.

In Glasgow and surrounding areas – Lanarkshire, Dunbartonshire, Inverclyde – non-sexual crimes of violence have increased but only by less than 10%.

In sharp contrast, the increases in such crime, in smaller towns, on or easily accessed from the main east coast rail lines from England, from 2018-2022, are shocking:

  • Borders – 78%
  • East Lothian – 47%
  • West Lothian – 53%
  • Perth & Kinross – 70%
  • Fife – 54%
  • Angus – 94%
  • Aberdeenshire – 71%
  • Moray – 96%

BBC Scotland alone refuses to cover this.

  1. As quickly as I posted this FB removed it.

    Evidently trying to get ‘likes’ from a post is now a FB crime even though that’s not the reason I posted it. I don’t want people to like it. I want them to be horrified by it.

  2. What’s Crime/Warmongering Central/aka English Government/ Establishment

    doing about their criminals crossing over into Scotland?

    Only POISON/BAD things ‘gifted to Scotland’ by the

    FOREIGN ENGLISH GOV/ESTAB

    DIVIDE/PARTITION & RULE

    PUPPET ‘unionist/britnat’ politicians

    BAD PEOPLE DOING BAD THINGS

    When such people are caught in Scotland, these should be imprisoned for lifetime sentences. No 5/10/.. yrs/time off for ‘good behaviour’ etc!

    If they’re bringing their evil into Scotland, sentences must reflect their evil and damage, destruction etc done to the people of Scotland.

    All, while said FOREIGN ENGLISH GOV/ESTAB

    asset-strips/thieves/pillages/plunders Scotland.

    When will that vile subliminal brainwashing by said VILE

    FOREIGN ENGLISH GOV/ESTAB

    be cleansed from the psyche of centuries-old and ongoing brainwashing of Scots.

    Time to

    Break the strangling English Shackles

    and

    1. Yep but send ’em to England to be locked up there, because otherwise it’s all at great financial cost to the public purse in Scotland. It’s all very convenient for the BritNat EngUKGB gov for Scotland to have rising crime, imported, and violent gangs, all imported. There’s always someone bigger, at the top of these gangs they don’t work on a shoestring they are paid, and then there’s the drugs ‘lords’, even further up the criminal ladder.

  5. Scottish Gov funding proper, total abstinence, rehab facilities £250Million over five years.

    Tory austerity caused an increase in 200 knife deaths in London S/E, a year. Now falling.

    Police will often leave small time drug dealers to go after king pins. They should be investigating all drug dealers. They know who they are. Clamp down on the lot.

    Police waste funding, on show trials. That will have a negative outcome. The unionists hold on Scottish justice system. Limited response.

    Masonics. Monarchy at the head. On the public purse.
