Yesterday MSM Monitor tweeted this observation that he saw on the BBC website via various headlines by the BBC upon Labour & also on the FM John Swinney in response to Trump winning.
MSM Monitor Tweeted this:
“Why was John Swinney singled out by the BBC in this manner”?

“Welsh FM Eluned Morgan once described Trump as “off the wall crazy”. Not mentioned in her headline”

“Keir Starmer once called Trump’s comments “absolutely repugnant”. Not mentioned in his headline”
“Starmer and Morgan are also referred to by their title. Our FM is referred to by his surname”
Then he MSM Monitor showed the BBC website headlines that prompted his above tweet:
“Swinney congratulates Trump after backing Harris in US Election” (My Bold).
“Strong US relations crucial says PM after Trump win”
“Strong Wales-US links to continue under Trump – FM”
So basically as MSM Monitor noted only John Swinney’s BBC headline mentioned a supposed negative in him, John Swinney, endorsing Harris and not Trump.
While the Labour UK PM and the Labour Welsh FM had no previous history noted on both of the negative comments they had previously made in relation to Trump.

Also nothing via the BBC relating to David Lammy’s negative comment on Trump in a 2017 tweet where he called Trump a “Nazi sympathiser” and also called Trump a “racists KKK”. (David Lammy was merely a opposition Labour MP in 2017).
However the same David Lammy , who is now the new Labour UK Foreign Secretary, and who grovelled in a tweet that he sent yesterday to Donald Trump where he tweeted”
“Congratulations to @realdonaldtrump on your victory”
“The UK has no greater friend than the US, with the special relationship being cherished on both sides of the Atlantic for more than 80 years. We look forward to working with you and @JDVance in the years ahead”
That is some U-Turn by David Lammy is it not , from his former position on Trump in 2017, to his new more gracious position now in 2024 ?
I noted that yesterday , in a Tweet by Anas Sarwar, that he tweeted his thoughts on Trump as the new president which was full of the usual very obvious non committal clichés such as “we must respect democracy” and “national and global interest to have a positive relationship with the USA” .
Editor, what happens if you search for 'Anas Sarwar Trump BBC Scotland?':

Why must we respect a moronic decision by some Americans ?
(Just because your Labour party are the new UK government and so will have to deal with Trump)
What special relationship ?
(We have , as yet, since Brexit not been given a ‘great’ trade deal by Biden as the current USA President , and with Trump as the new President , as in he who promotes the message of “America First” , then that, as a position, is not going to change any time soon)
In fact any supposed ‘trade’ deal that is done will not be to the UK’s advantage but only to America’s advantage. They , America, say jump we , or rather our UK governments says, how high.
Another observation by MSM Monitor was that some of the UK media, prior to the Presidential election, noted that “Labour activists were encouraged to go to the USA and campaign for Kamala Harris. Not mentioned in the Starmer (BBC) headline”
Yet in a new BBC website headline this is again not noted in relation to Labour activists supporting Kamala Harris where the BBC only noted Starmer had phoned Trump to congratulate him.
In fact the BBC said Starmer’s call was the supposed first call since the US election, grovel much did he (Starmer) to then expect Brownie points from Trump, in him being the first to call to congratulate Trump, obviously Starmer does not really know who he is dealing with, as being the supposed first to call Trump, well that would count for the square root of Jack Sh*t to Trump.
So we now have an Idiot in charge of America and another one in charge of the UK and also a UK media trying to take us, in Scotland, all for Idiots too.
What a time to be alive !!!!

As an aside, it’s not often that I agree with or promote the words of a Tory – but this caught my eye on Twitter. A message to Trump from the Belize Billionaire, aka Lord Ashcroft, reminding him of what some of Labour’s current cabinet really think of him.
I had to laugh as well as applaud…

I wouldn’t applaud that s***hawk.
He has equally more faces than a town hall clock.
They’re all birds from the same nest.

I’ll have to disagree and own up. Tory or not, I owe him a bit of respect – he saved the football club I support from liquidation a few years ago. So he’s not all bad.🙂

Why was John Swinney singled out?
Because the establishment / Westminster are terrified of a resurgence of the SNP in Scotland. BBC Scotland is merely a propaganda outfit these days to put Scotland, its people and its achievements down, including its government, nothing else.

Starmer talks about his non-existent ”special relationship with the US” but failed to mention the almost immediate imposition , by Trump as President , of 20% trade tariffs on almost all imported goods .That’s soooo special , innit ?

The reason ” Why was John Swinney singled out by the BBC in this manner ? ” is known to all, the same propaganda game BBC Scotland et al have been playing since rising support for Scottish independence disturbed the status quo on which they all rely….
