Anonymous I cannot keep up with the (bad) behaviour of the current Labour UK government. Read this today on social media via MSM Monitor twitter (‘X’) account: Apparently “Keir Starmer has promised more cash for the Welsh NHS although how much is unclear ” (However I noted that the media reported this extra money can be spent how they, the Welsh government , likes though the media said the aim would be to try and bring down Welsh NHS waiting lists !) While the same Keir Starmer is content that Scotland’s government will be bypassed for funding (with £150 million) going directly … Continue reading Labour Wales not Scotland is the nation at the heart of Keir Starmer’s current Labour UK Government

Anonymous Go onto the BBC website Scotland and Scottish Politics pages and try and find a story on the Labour party . There are currently none. Then look for stories about the Scottish government/SNP. You will find plenty and all are either negative or are presenting them, the Scottish government/SNP, as somehow struggling to cope with a situation. The top story on both their BBC Scotland page and their Scottish politics page is: “Scottish Horizon victims still waiting for exoneration letters” The UK Horizon post office scandal that has nowt to do with the SNP/Scottish government but it does have UK Labour, the UK Tory party & the UK Lid Dems complicity/Involvement in it as … Continue reading The UK Horizon post office scandal has nowt to do with the SNP/Scottish government

By Anonymous SKY News is another one who pretends they report ‘UK’ news but they are really presenting a dominant English perspective of the news. (that includes their sports news coverage). If and when they do report on any ‘Scottish’ news then they, like other ‘UK’ news channels , choose to promote mostly negative stories. The irony is that as they diss our Scottish government and the SNP look at what their UK has given to politics with the UK Tory party and their scandals, incompetence, corruption, mismanagement and wastefulness as a UK government when they were in power. Major league failures and flaws we all witnessed with the former UK government … Continue reading We all know that what is behind these constant attacks on the SNP is the constitutional Q

By Jim I’m going to hazard a guess here that drug deaths in England and Wales are every bit as bad as here in Scotland, but we can’t have mother England looking bad now can we. look at the recent BBC reporting of riots ‘Across the UK’. They cannot even own up to the racist English Nationalist problem that exists in their own backyard. They have to make out that it is the whole of the UK and not just England, the OO in Belfast who love to look for any excuse to cause trouble. The English Government, and that’s … Continue reading We can’t have mother England looking bad now can we?

Bob Lamont “Scotland’s drug deaths still worst in Europe after 12% rise” by Jonathan Geddes BBC Scotland News, and James Cook, Scotland Editor, the pivot being ” But the latest figures remain far higher than the 244 deaths in 1996 when comparable records began ” – Now just ponder that ” when comparable records began ” left hanging without reference, the art of the grifter, privy to Spanish ambassadorial emails since 2014….. Yes, Scotland has a drug problem, County Lines and BBC Scotland, both do your head in, you can’t shake off either, yet the latter appears to be protecting … Continue reading Scotland’s drug deaths and the absence of ‘comparable records’ in England

By Anonymous Sarwar’s (negligible amount of) credibility is left in tatters as a former Labour First Minister, Henry McLeish, says they, Labour at Holyrood, have no control over anything they do in Holyrood. As a former Labour First Minister he, McLeish, said that if Labour win power again at Holyrood, they will have no say over what the (Scottish) government does, and that what laws it passed would be decided by the UK Labour Prime Minister. Henry McLeish, who was First Minister for just over a year , said this in an exclusive interview on BBC Radio 4. “When I was First Minister, as … Continue reading Sarwar’s (negligible amount of) credibility is left in tatters

By Professor John Robertson OBA From 2018 to 2023, the NRS overall drug death rate trend in Scotland (above) is down after decades of increasing steadily before that. Though up on the 2022 figure, the 2023 figure is still down from 1 187 in 2018, to 1 172 in 2023, a 1.3% fall. Not much you might say but have a look at the situation across England and Wales for the same period: From 2018 to 2022, up 12%. The death rate in Scotland remains significantly higher [277 per million] but the long-term trend is down and the gap is closing, … Continue reading Scotland’s drug death trend is down but it’s soaring across the rest of the UK

BBC Scotland today is delighting in an increase in drug deaths for 2023, after a big fall in 2022 and the opportunity once more to remind us: It means Scotland continues to have a far higher rate of recorded drugs deaths than other European nations, including England and Wales. Not mentioned, this in the Sunday Mail in February 2024: Scotland is seeing an explosion of ‘county lines’ gangs forcing children and vulnerable adults to smuggle drugs to every corner of the country. The Scottish Mail on Sunday can reveal at least 55 gangs have been identified operating north of the … Continue reading English gangs flooding Scotland with stronger but cheaper drugs to keep drug deaths high
