Kevin McKenna has written an article for the Herald.

He tweeted this today:

“I walked the streets of Larkhall with Reform UK. What I saw and heard should trouble John Swinney and Anas Sarwar greatly: my despatch for @HerladScotland”

Hmm, but what was the Reform UK candidate saying to these people in Larkhall, as that for me, is far far more ‘troubling’ to be honest.

Now I remember when Kevin McKenna wrote this on 2 September 2023 in a tweet:

“I spent an afternoon on the stump of Burnbank with the most impressive Conservative I’ve ever encountered. My feature on Thomas Kerr in The Herald”.

Thomas Kerr , former Tory Councillor, who has now defected to Reform UK.

Kevin seems to like to spend time with what amounts to being the wrong kind of (fake) politicians from the wrong kind of (fake) parties that Scotland normally rejects.

But it seems that Kevin seems determined to continue to promote these wrong kind of (fake) politicians and their (very) wrong kind of politics who are members of the wrong kind of (fake) political parties.

They are especially wrong for a country like Scotland , but they stand in our elections in Scotland , yet they really only want to represent the UK and not represent Scotland or it’s people.

However not only does McKenna apparently like to ‘spend time with these people’ he also then wants to write about it and so tell the public about it .

Which then also gives them , as (fake) politicians, and their (fake) political parties free publicity.

So then how long will it be before Kevin McKenna writes another article telling us that he “spent another afternoon with Thomas Kerr” as a new member of his new party, Reform UK , and how he, McKenna, saw Kerr as being “the most impressive Reform UK politician I have ever encountered”…..

Irresponsible journalism (if you can call it ‘journalism’) to even consider doing an article where you choose to either “spend an afternoon with a Tory” or “walk the streets with someone who was also a former Tory Councillor who then , like Thomas Kerr, defected to Reform UK, as in one Ross Lambie the Reform UK’s candidate for next week’s by-election” .

You know you could not buy publicity like this but the sh*t media we have here gives it for free to these rogues . (I guess all rogues, both political and media, must stick together).

McKenna surely knows what and who Nigel Farage truly is but clearly he does not care , which is why more people choose to no longer read sh*t papers like The Herald or indeed read fully the articles written by Kevin McKenna (as who in their right mind would pay for media pulp fiction).

Of course if McKenna was really an honest and decent (supposed) ‘Journalist’ then he could have chosen not to “walk the streets” with someone from a rogue party who, as a party, are clearly an English Nationalist party.

Also who , as a party , had until recently , an MP elected for them at WM last year , who now has been suspended from Reform UK, as in one Rupert Lowe, who when he was a Reform UK MP wanted WM to once again have total control of all of the UK, and so get rid of the devolved parliaments here in Scotland and in NI and in Wales too.

Yet they, Reform UK , had candidates who were going to stand in the 2026 election for the devolved parliaments in Scotland and in Wales ????

So basically if they, Reform UK candidates, were to be elected on the list vote next year for our Scottish parliament, then they would be the ‘Enemies within’ , surely ?

(Note Rupert Lowe was not suspended from Reform UK for saying the above in respect to abolishing the devolved parliaments but he was suspended from Reform UK for seemingly making a challenge to Farage’s leadership of the party, via his snide comments that exposed how Farage led this rogue and fake political party, Reform UK).

Also for McKenna to do this again with yet another former Tory , who like Thomas Kerr , dumped his former party and so chose an even more despicable party to stand as a candidate for in future elections, and that as a political party, is one that will most certainly be no friend to Scotland should they, Reform UK, gain any power in their UK.

The Herald Tweeted this today in respect to McKenna’s latest article aka Reform UK puff piece:

“‘Voters feel ignored by Scotland’s political establishment. They feel betrayed‘”

Nope.

Voters in Scotland are “ignored” by rogue media in Scotland , like the Herald for example, who are a part of the British establishment that tries to consistently con voters in Scotland into wanting to stay within the UK and so not choose (the better option of) Scottish independence.

They, the media, do this in promoting sh*t political parties , like for example Reform UK, indeed they as a majority of the media in Scotland, always promote any party but the SNP.

Also it is the media who broadcasts and also publishes so called newspapers in Scotland who have constantly “betrayed” Scotland and it’s people with a succession of despicable articles like this one from Kevin McKenna promoting a party like Reform UK , where if they were an honest and non partisan media they would be attacking and exposing them, Reform UK, for what they are and who they truly represent. (not Scotland or it’s people , that’s for sure).

Kevin McKenna and The Herald have clearly chosen to support and so promote “Gutter politics” in Scotland via the likes of Reform UK, and although this is a new low for them as the so called media , it is not unexpected as we all know just how low much of the media in Scotland are prepared to go, which they do to try to stop both Scottish independence and also to try to stop more people voting for the SNP in elections.

Vote SNP via a majority in all elections to show the likes of Kevin McKenna that we do not care who the hell he chooses to “spends an afternoon” with or who he chooses to “walk the streets with” , as clearly he is cut from the same cloth as those he is “impressed” with and so he then chooses to spend time with them.

So if he then chooses to write political puff pieces about Reform UK candidates, while decent people in Scotland are sickened by them as a party , then the result will be that decent people will also quickly become pretty much sick of Kevin and also The Herald as well. Though in all honesty I think that boat has already sailed (so there is a positive outcome to this then).

Now at least we know why sales for newspapers are in decline……as they insist, as newspapers, on trying so desperately to keep alive the false notion that Scotland is somehow better within their UK . (lived experience aka our suffering in Scotland proves the opposite).

They , as a media, do this by promoting any sh*t party, no matter how despicable that party is and also no matter how much damage they will , as a party, inflict upon Scotland, as the only real reason they , as a media, write the sh*te that they write is to keep Scotland within their UK.

That is always the main and only real purpose of all of the media here in Scotland. (or so it seems).

They are doing it deliberately too. Simples. (to (re)use the quotes from Baron Foulkes and also Baroness May – aka George and Theresa- who are now part of the British establishment as members of the HOL’s aka the UK’s Gravy Train – that exists for those ex MP’s who are now past their sell by date -but also where many were rejected by voters in elections- but who were then rewarded by their respective party leaders in becoming ‘unelected -partisan- bureaucrats’ aka lifetime Peers , who then represent their respective pro UK parties who sit in the HOC’s ).

That’s the UK, disunited really and extremely dysfunctional and so totally unsuitable for Scotland, who should seek to be progressive as a nation and not one that is both subsumed within and so suffocated by antiquated ‘British’ institutions and traditions.
