In the Herald today this either unaware or dishonest claim, above.
Journalism students know that much of what journalist do, rather than faithfully sharing any kind of pre-existing shared reality, is collectively, sheepishly, construct an alternative reality to suit the agenda of those who fund them and upon whom they depend for their existence – paying their mortgage, their car loan, feeding their families and so on.
Regulars here will be well aware of how selective and edited ‘herd’ coverage of, for example, NHS performance, of youth violence, of drug death trends, of housing shortages, of even child poverty has made sure that many of those in Scotland benefiting from objectively better NHS performance, lower crime, more affordable housing and even those whose grandchildren have been helped out of poverty, can be duped into thinking they live in a wider crisis, as we saw in July 2024 and as we saw last week in Aberdeen South, to vote against their own interests.
Here’s how they have hidden the legacy justified by facts. Full text at: https://talkingupscotlandtwo.com/?s=Sturgeon
Before you tell me I’ve been duped:

The 'Unstoppable' Talking-up Scotland 
I noted Laura Goodwin tried to bring this up while interviewing Kirsty Blackman this morning she is a hopeless person trying to interview anyone.

For the Westmonster government no matter which one was in power, to mess up the response to the pandemic was deliberate. You just have to look at who made huge sums of public money from the dodgy PPE etc. It was and is absolutely criminal. Boris Johnson was a bumbling idiot about it all, and he knew what he was doing, making a ton of cash from peoples’ suffering juts like his pals were.
Nicola Sturgeon did all she could to save lives, while within EngGov restrictions and rules.
The BritNats are desperate to slate and slander and defame Nicola because they know she was brilliant at her job, not perfect, who is, but a force to be reckoned with, and a woman! The partriachy are not so keen on strong women in positions of power, certainly not ones who not right wing or far right wing.
Nicola Sturgeon was also admired internationally…that’s just too much for the English establishment and their dodgy pals abroad, can’t have that!
They’ve got nothing on John Swinney, so expect to see this faux BritNat (anti SNP) outrage etc dragging on, and on and on..sigh.

The money is being paid back. The other parties get donations from any crook without explanation. The money Westminster cheat and lie about is £Billions.
Westminster want to cut the welfare bill and overspend on illegal Defence projects. HS2 and Hickley Point etc has wasted £Billions.
