Latest – Police Scotland are aware of 30 County Lines groups in Scotland, have reported on them 60 times but BBC Scotland…..twice and not at all for more than 3 years

In response to my FoI request to them, today:

Based on analysis of the most recent Police Scotland data, the number of ‘County Lines’
groups operating across Scotland, including in Scottish cities, is assessed to be around
30.

Police Scotland, on a site surely a regular go-to for crime reporters, have reported on county lines gangs specifically, 60 times:

BBC Scotland?

Twice only and not once in the last three years?

Why?

Clearly an editorial line.

STV?

Better but still not representing the scale of the problem.

Scottish Daily Mail? Regular reports and this year:

We get a never-ending reporting of drug deaths in Scotland yet a major factor in them staying high must be ignored.

  1. Why dont you call on all nationalist communities to seek out and refer to the police the gangs they know about
    The more people get involved and the more the BBC avoid it the bigger the hole they are in

    1. ‘Nationalist communities’, you mean the ones in England obviously.
      If the English nationalist drugs gangs can be stopped before they invade Scotland’s ‘communities’, ie, towns and cities, that would save Scotland a lot of money and more England imposed suffering. Maybe keep up whoever you are, at least one town in Scotland managed to kick some of the English nationalist drugs gangs out!
      If the BritEnglish ‘media’ reported on these criminals coming into Scotland that might go some way to alerting more people and demanding the English police stop these gangs before even getting near our border!

  2. I have seen a couple of short films about how the US used drugs against the Latin American countries to take down their governments…no doubt it’s still happening. Drugs is big big business and, creates criminals, destroys ‘communities’ and ensures political instability. A classic tactic of colonialists.
