Here are those who have been rewarded for their part, with well-paid, secure employment, in lies about, amongst other topics, Scotland’s ferries, hospitals, schools and crime rates: Today, they face, for them, an unexpected shock: Should they have known this might come? AI – Do those employees who lie on … Continue reading How BBC Scotland’s regime loyalists should have seen this betrayal coming

Inverness Sheriff says county lines gangs from England exploiting vulnerable women and children must be stamped out then spares them jail – got at?

johnrobertson834

In the P&J, two days ago, the report on the left suggests a puzzling change of heart by a senior judge. It’s really difficult to understand this given what he said in July, on the right, and what it must have been based on: Police report a notable increase in drug offences in Inverness. Gangs target the region because of demand, less competition, and vulnerable people. Cases involve women and sometimes children being coerced into the networks. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cwy0xdxdl40o How widespread and how damaging have county lines gangs been in the Highlands? They are not as pervasive as in major English cities … Continue reading Inverness Sheriff says county lines gangs from England exploiting vulnerable women and children must be stamped out then spares them jail – got at?

Herald ignores hybrid-working efficiency evidence and supports Tory campaign to increase civil servant bums on seats

johnrobertson834

The Herald today, largely recycling Tory MP, Craig Hoy’s March 2026 campaign and ignoring as he did, his own party’s research into hybrid working. If you have little time, a short video on the issue: https://talkingupscotlandtwo.com/2026/03/13/short-video-on-are-hard-pressed-scots-sick-of-homeworking-hybrids/ On 12 March 2026: The Herald has: The Scottish Government faces a new transparency row over civil servants working from home as statistics are set to be withheld until after the Holyrood election. Pressure is mounting on SNP ministers to crack down on officials who refuse to work from the office as part of the Scottish Government’s hybrid working policy. Where is this ‘mounting pressure’ coming from? Anyone else? Nope, that’s it. Pathetic. Is there any … Continue reading Herald ignores hybrid-working efficiency evidence and supports Tory campaign to increase civil servant bums on seats

No UK Government homelessness reduction initiative for England has ever stayed within budget so Scots taxpayers will pay for Burnham’s plan

johnrobertson834

We’ve already shown here that Scots taxpayers will end up funding steel nationalisation in England, illegal dump clear-ups and HS2 stopping well before the border, with no benefits and no Barnett compensation likely. Today, prompted by Kath Barr, we’re looking at whether Andy Burnham’s latest mission to end rough-sleeping by Christmas in England will cost us too. The official line is that it won’t because it will be funded from uncommitted budgets within the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG), with allocations based on English rough sleeping pressures. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/new-pm-says-government-can-bring-back-hope-to-britain-and-launches-drive-to-end-rough-sleeping-at-the-earliest-opportunity Uncommitted budgets are a real thing but what is … Continue reading No UK Government homelessness reduction initiative for England has ever stayed within budget so Scots taxpayers will pay for Burnham’s plan

England’s GCSE results reveal thousands of pupils betrayed after two years of Labour rule

johnrobertson834

The BBC above and the Guardian below are reacting favourably to the GCSE results with, for example: Almost one in four boys in England received top grades in maths while results in English improved across the board, helping to propel improved GCSE results for this year’s cohort of 16-year-olds. The stronger performances in maths helped pupils taking GCSEs in year 11 reach a record level for higher grades in England outside the Covid pandemic years, when exams were replaced by teacher assessments. https://www.theguardian.com/education/2026/aug/20/gcse-results-almost-one-in-four-boys-in-england-get-top-grades-in-maths Can we compare these results with comparable outcomes for 16 year-olds in Scotland? There are differences in methods but … Continue reading England’s GCSE results reveal thousands of pupils betrayed after two years of Labour rule

Twice as effective closing their own illegal dumps but Scots taxpayers to pay for Burnham’s clear-up of illegal dumps in West Yorkshire, Surrey and Kent and there will be no Barnett consequentials

johnrobertson834

In the Guardian today, the above, and: Illegal dumps in West Yorkshire, Surrey and Kent will be cleared up using taxpayer money, Andy Burnham has announced, as the prime minister promises a new drive to tackle toxic waste. Ministers have identified dumps in Bradford, Runnymede and the Isle of Sheppey, which collectively contain about 22,000 tonnes of illegal waste, to be cleared in the next phase of the government’s national clear-up effort. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/aug/19/taxpayers-to-fund-clear-up-of-dumps-in-west-yorkshire-surrey-and-kent Why will this not be paid for by a waste management budget for England? The money comes from the UK Treasury’s pooled revenues, which include taxes raised across … Continue reading Twice as effective closing their own illegal dumps but Scots taxpayers to pay for Burnham’s clear-up of illegal dumps in West Yorkshire, Surrey and Kent and there will be no Barnett consequentials
