    1. Yep I saw that earlier today ArtyHetty.

      MSM Monitor posted this on ‘X’ today

      “The UK Labour Govt has moved from simply favouring England to actively sabotaging Scotland. The blocking of the £1.5bn China turbine investment is just the latest example. It’s OK for China to have a stake in the Hinckley nuclear power plant and a mega-embassy in London but not OK to invest in Scottish renewables. The problem is exacerbated by having political parties and a broadcaster that are just English branches tagged ‘Scottish’ which means the decision isn’t getting the condemnation or coverage it deserves. London kicks Scotland and these branches polish its boots”

      So what exactly does the BBC in Scotland see this as, in relation to it being a major political story :

      Well they , the BBC website , added this story onto the Scotland main page hours ago “Chinese firm’s Highland port plans blocked by UK government” but already it is now gone from that page

      There is nothing about that story on their Scottish, checks bloody notes, Politics page.

      The do however still have room on their Scottish Politics page for articles that are 1 day old, 2 days old, 3 days old, 4 days old and 5 days old…………

      One of these older articles on the Scottish Politics page is “Sturgeon denies ‘obsession’ with gender reforms when Scotland’s first minister” that article, when you go into it, is dated as the 24 March ,that is 2 days ago , but on the main page it states it is only 1 day old ???………

      Apparently as a negative action taken by the Labour UK government against Scotland, well that is seemingly not classified as being significant political news by the political BBC news team that works in Scotland but obviously not for Scotland !

      Also MSM noted in other posts that:

      “UK Chinese investment. Notice anything”?

      “Mega-Embassy in London – tick

      Hinckley Point nuclear power plant – tick

      Bradwell B nuclear site in Essex – tick

      Heathrow Airport – tick

      Electricity Power Networks in South East – tick

      Northumbrian Water – tick

      Battery site in Wiltshire – tick

      Scottish wind turbines – cross”

      I agree with MSM Monitor, as where are all of the same “security concerns” in England with all of the Chinese investment in various places there?

      Apparently “The UK Labour government welcomes Chinese investment that aligns with ‘national interests’”…………..so then when they , Labour, say “national interests” where exactly do they mean , location wise, in their use of the word “national”……..not in Scotland interests then ?

  2. The UK gov and the BBC had plenty to say about China offering to help the SG with £10 Billion of investment in Scottish infrastructure, in fact they managed to block it, don’t seem to have any issues with China involvement in what I would call strategic assets ,e.g. Closure of Scotland’s only oil refinery and owning oil licences.
