BBC headline Scottish pages : ‘Our kids are killing each other – we need to do something’

Meanwhile what was formerly and very recently the top article on the main Scottish page of the BBC website on the 5th December, that is now no longer there and it was also formerly the top article on the Scottish Politics page, but now it has descended to being the 6th article on the Scottish politics page.

It was earlier today the 11th article on the Glasgow & West Scotland page but now it has gone from that page. (at 15.36pm).

So it’s gonna be a case of that article ……Going , Going and then it will be Gone from all of the BBC website pages way too soon (and ,they the BBC, hopes, as do Labour , it is then a political story that will be forgotten) and never noted (regurgitated) by the BBC ever again).

The article ?

“Scottish Labour frontbencher quits over links to sex offender”

“quits” ?

So has this person really quit completely ?

Nope.

Just quit the front bench as Labour’s Education spokesperson but will still be a Labour (backbench) MSP.

Apparently Scottish Labour MSP Pam Duncan-Glancy‘s continued friendship with former Labour Councillor Sean Morton it is to be filed under a “serious error of personal judgement” over her friendship with a then convicted sex offender.

So it is now a case of ‘Move on nothing to see here’….apparently.

The BBC article stated that “She will remain as a Labour MSP. The party said she had done the right thing and it considers the matter closed”. (the BBC website will also consider this story also as being closed too soon as well).

Sean Morton, the former Labour Councillor, “admitted having indecent images of children and extreme pornography in 2017”.

Clearly then she , Duncan-Glancy, has not “done the right thing” in continuing a friendship with a convicted sex offender who was convicted of having indecent images of children, and she was Labour’s ‘Education spokesperson’ .

Also it may be considered as a “matter closed” for Labour but surely not one considered closed for all others as it then questions her lack of judgement and also her lack of moral standards, in her thinking it is acceptable and so right in her continuing a link with , as in a friendship, with such a person as Sean Morton.

Imagine this was a SNP Minister and the FM stating in this exact same scenario that “The party said the Minister had done the right thing in resigning and so it now considers the matter closed” and then the SNP MSP still in the SNP (as Duncan-Glancy is now still in Labour) and then either Anas Sarwar, other Labour MSP’s , including Pam Duncan-Glancy , all then just saying Okay, that’s fine let’s now just move on.

See this is the double standards and the sheer duplicity with which Labour, Tory & also the Lib Dems operate as opposition parties , as whenever they are caught out , either as a party or individually, and so then they are exposed as #BAD, they just declare that they intend to hold an ‘internal investigation’ and then they reach their own conclusion upon it and so then declare publicly that the matter has now been dealt with and so now it is closed …………..so Move On.

Where as when the SNP are in the #BAD spotlight (as a constant with both the media and also with all other parties) it is then always to be up for a heated debate within the chamber , where they , the SNP, are then demonised , vilified and never allowed to move on from it. (and so are subject to a feeding frenzy of front page (widespread) headlines in all of the UK papers about how #BAD they have been and are).

So Labour did no investigation upon this scandal connected to Duncan-Glancy , they just accepted her resignation (after the Daily Record exposed this story) and then nowt more, as a punishment, is to be done. She is still a Labour MSP.

That’s the Labour party for you………they love to dish it out to those in opposition to them, but they are a tad too quick at trying to avoid all others scrutinising and then rightly judging them and their #BAD actions (which last year and this year is a tally that is mounting up).

I mean first we had the Colin Smyth scandal ( previously worked as a modern studies teacher) , then also there is the Labour MSP Foysol Choudhury allegations of “inappropriate conduct” and now Pam Duncan-Glancy……..(we also had the” Fife former Labour councillor who had been found guilty of sexual offences against a teenage girl over a seven-month period, he was expelled from the Labour party only after he was convicted” and then we also had the Labour MP, Dan Morris, arrested this year for rape and Child sex offences).

Of course the BBC itself also does not have a clean record themselves either on who they employ that then , as BBC employees, turn out to be individuals arrested for sexual offences or indeed their higher up ’employee’s considered to be politically compromised (Richard Sharp, Robbie Gibb).

This is why we on here often say ……’why should we allow anyone, be it the UK media or a politician from any opposition party, to judge the SNP, when we all know that they have all had their various scandals, many sexual, and political within their own parties and also within the BBC and other media too.

To paraphrase a biblical quote:

“All of those political parties and the UK media that are without any sin , then yes, let them be first to cast their stones (plural) at the SNP”……..

However hypocrisy, self-righteousness, and passing judgment may unfortunately be something that they all assume is their entitlement to use, and so then they deploy these undesirable traits that they then weaponise against the SNP…..or rather those that they refer to as being the #SNPBAD.

Truth is that their combined and individual tally of #BAD , as opponents to the SNP, is way way way in excess of anything #Bad that the SNP have either actually done or are accused of doing as a constant, accusations mainly sourced from and so used by the SNP’s very hostile opponents , as in hostility that stems from both opposition political party’s sources but also a hell of a lot from the UK BritNat media as well…………..like say the BBC.
