“MSM Monitor tweeted at 8.38am today….

“Will BBC Scotland report this or will it employ a news blackout to protect Anas Sarwar? A suspended Scottish Labour Councillor who groomed and sexually abused an underage teenage girl is to be sentenced today”

The BBC did an article about this on the 23 July 2025…..with the headline “Councillor guilty of sex offences against teenage girl” ….note the exclusion of the (Labour) party name in the headline…..in the article they stated this (also note that they , the BBC, know the date, 19 August, when he was to be sentenced)…….

“A Fife councillor has been found guilty of sexual offences against a teenage girl over a seven-month period.

David Graham, who was suspended from the Labour party two years ago, groomed and sexually abused the girl at a variety of locations in the Fife and Edinburgh areas in 2023.

The 43-year-old was convicted of offences involving sexual activity with a girl aged between 13 and 15 following a trial at Kirkcaldy Sheriff Court.

He is due to be sentenced on 19 August“

So I checked the BBC website…..and so far…on the Scotland main page and Scottish Politics page there is nowt in relation to this story…..or indeed on the Edinburgh , Fife and East page….STV News have an article today on their website stating that he is to be sentenced today….so what will be the BBC’s report on this be and what will be their headline on this (will their headline include his former party’s name ?)…..

BTW the BBC website today ( on their Scottish Politics page) still had room for yet another ….#SNP-Bad-Ferry-Article , as in an article with a headline “CalMac pays out £460,000 to delayed ferry passengers” (Former Tory MSP and now the Lib Dem transport spokesman, Jamie Greene, “accused the Scottish government of letting the ferry network deteriorate” stated this BBC article.

Also they , the BBC, still had room for a supposed ‘Scottish’ , checks notes, ‘politics’ article, on what is a 3 day old penned article by James Cook on “Sturgeon book reignites trans row with JK Rowling”…..

BBC still lacking due impartiality…..but only receiving warnings and not fines from Ofcom , who are supposed to monitor and regulate their output….and also supposdley punish them appropriately when complaints are made against the BBC, that is if they, the BBC, are found to have broken the rules (which it seems is , as a situation, consistently still happening now in their supposed ‘Scottish’ news output in all of their formats…)………

Aye but we , who support independence, and too the parties who also support it, are somehow seen to be the real Baddies…..”

Now ‘Breaking News’ …..at 12.54…..the BBC website now has this story on this Councillor….but their headline on this is………yet again, minus the naming of his former political party in their headline……#LabourParty

It is on the BBC Scotland main page as the top story (for now) and it is also on the Edinburgh, Fife & East Page but it is NOT, so far, on the BBC Scottish politics page as an article, for a , checks notes, story on a (now former) Labour politician ??????

“Councillor jailed over sex offences against teenage girl”

(That’s the former Labour Councillor).

The article starts with them stating:

“A Fife councillor has been jailed for 27 months for sexually abusing a 15-year-old girl over a six-month period. David Graham, 43, groomed and sexually abused the girl at a variety of locations in the Fife and Edinburgh areas in 2023″ – (still no party name mentioned….is it a secret ?).

Eventually they specified which party he represented as a councillor when these offenses took place………….

So we will have yet another By-election ……#NotAnotherOne

So much for the current angry mobs who protest against Migrants at various Hotels and Hostels as they say that they seek to protect their children from sexual assault ……apparently ….but what about all of the sexual assaults , including rape, and sexual abuse from certain UK politicians , Police Officers from the Met and also BBC celebrities who had programmes on the BBC…..#JimmySaville….and #others too…#Digeridoo to name another (Rolf Harris) …….

Then there was also the accusation against a member of the Royal Family, Prince Andrew, in respect to the Epstein case….

Who do we, in Scotland, allow to stand in judgement of the party that we elect in Scotland to represent us as our Scottish government ? (as in the SNP) .

Well, it seems to be that we allow all of the political and media hypocrites to judge our preferred political party (SNP) , as those that we elect as our Scottish government.

The SNP are not perfect nor indeed are they exempt from also having some scandals linked to them, via some of their current and former politicians , but those, as scandals, are far far less and also less serious with the SNP compared to those that have occurred with all of the UK parties , as in those via both current and also former UK politicians at different political levels- including some of their representatives- political party Peers- in the HOL’s.

However the various parts of the UK establishment’s position must always be that it is only #SNPBAD (while they, as a UK establishment, seek to look the other way or at least attempt to minimise all of the #Bad incidents that are connected to all other political parties).

We could make it all stop…..we all know how….we just need others to finally come to the same conclusion , as in when they too are finally enlightened as to what’s what via the UK State…..
