From BBC Nottinghamshire yesterday, the above and:
Twelve drug dealers have been jailed for running an “industrial” supply network that flooded heroin and crack cocaine into towns across the East Midlands and Aberdeen. The Nottingham-based ringleaders sprayed champagne from a white Rolls-Royce, in one of several “drill” music videos that boasted about their weapons and wealth.
Nottingham Crown Court heard how they protected their turf with knives, a loaded pistol, and bombarded drug users with marketing texts. They also set up local distribution hubs at addicts’ homes and recruited children to move and sell their drugs, to reduce the risk of getting caught.
The police traced this network of County Lines across the East Midlands and another to Aberdeen
BBC Scotland NE, Orkney and Shetland have nothing on this. Should they? Isn’t this a new thing?
Nope, they’re ignoring this plague going back at least six years, because it looks bad for the Union. See:
Talking-up Scotland 'Albatraz' 
The Brit state and the ‘unionists’ will be quite happy about the English county lines drugs gangs invading Scotland. I wonder who could be facilitating that.hmm.

The BBC ?
BBC Scotland , as in BBC Debate Night , are in Glasgow this evening, on the night before a By-election in Scotland in the Hamilton, Larkhall & Stonehouse Constituency.
On their Panel is not just one but two Labour politicians.
MSP Paul Sweeney for Labour and also Lord Willie Haughey.
Lord Willie Haughey ?
Who is he ?
Well BBC Debate night are referring to him on their Twitter account as only being an “entrepreneur” , where he does indeed have business interests but that’s not all he is.
Why are the BBC hiding the fact that he, Haughey, is also a Labour peer and why do Labour get two politicians on the panel of this BBC debate programme , on the night before a Scottish by-election, where Labour are said to possibly come third to a Reform UK possibly in second place ?
So as sourced elsewhere here are the facts that the BBC do not seemingly want the public to know about Lord Haughey. , via their , BBC’s, social media account for Debate Night.
Baron/Lord Haughey, is referred to as a Labour peer and also as someone who donated over £1 million to the Labour party in 2003 and 2010, he was Knighted in the 2012 Birthday Honours for services to business and philanthropy.
On the 1 August 2013, it was announced officially that he was going to be a Labour peer in the HOL’s.
His title is Baron Haughey of Hutchesontown in the city of Glasgow.
He was once reported as saying (in a way that only a UK supporting Labour politician would say):
“The truth of the matter is that heat pumps don’t work as efficiently in Scotland as they do in other countries”
( Is that because Scotland is too wee, or too poor or too stupid or is it just that Haughey is too much of a Labour UK supporting peer/politician that he , like others in his party, always feel the need to talk Scotland down ) ?
He received criticism for that remark from someone at Mitsubishi as they said:
“Lord Haughey claimed to have sold thousands of heat pumps but only for the right application, which he saw as air conditioning for heating in the winter and cooling in the summer”.
Now there is no Reform UK person on the panel tonight , where is the balance ?
That is because the main focus for the BBC tonight (again) is to try to get Labour as the winners tomorrow in the by-election.
They have blown it.
Surely to ensure a Labour win tomorrow they could have had this:
A full Labour audience (which there may still be).
Paul Hutcheon from the Daily Record as the programme’s host.
(Though Stephen Jardine does his best as one who also seems to endorse the Labour party mantra, via his attitude , of ‘anyone but the SNP’ kind of manner as the programme’s host).
On the panel as well as the Labour MSP and the Labour Peer mentioned , they could also have had a Labour councillor , the Labour SOS for (against) Scotland and also Kevin McKenna who will jump onto any bandwagon that is created as a vehicle (pun intended) against the SNP aka #SNPBAD.
The other panel member is an artist, his politics I know not what they are , but I am sure those who seek pain may watch it tonight , and via his opinions on the panel, will soon be able to establish whether he too is Labour , or a Tory supporter , or a Lib Dem supporter , or Green or neutral ? (or could he be an SNP supporter , but not though another SNP politician on the panel) !
Vote SNP even though the media do not want you to, and they will use any dirty trick they can , including loading an audience and panel of one of their ‘debate’ programmes with more people who oppose both the SNP and Scottish independence ( they will even put two politicians on from the same party but try to be clandestine about it, in not mentioning on their social media account that one of them is a Labour peer).

Representing the Tories tonight on Debate Night is Annie Wells, which means they, the Tories, have obviously conceded ( a loss in) the by-election tomorrow.
Though being in Scotland anything is possible , but I think in this instance unlikely.
Susan Aitken is the SNP panel member – she is up against two Labour, one Tory, the Host, probably most of the audience too (if this is one of Debate Night’s usual programmes) and also another person , an artist, whose politics I do not know, but they too could be an adversary as well ( as in a full house against the SNP).
