From Public Health Scotland’s Accident and Emergency: Accredited Official Statistics, published today, NHS Scotland’s Type 1 emergency departments (full, consultant led) treated 62.4% of those attending in February 2026, within the target time of 4 hours. https://www.publichealthscotland.scot/healthcare-system/urgent-and-unscheduled-care/accident-and-emergency/overview/ In the same period, NHS England’s, Type 1 emergency departments treated only 59.4% https://www.england.nhs.uk/statistics/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/03/February-2026-AE-by-provider-lopYX.xls Now some will say a difference of only 3% is insignificant but that’s 3% of Scotland’s 105 000, 3 150 people treated on time in Scotland who would not have been in England, or god forbid, Labour Wales. Try tell them they’re insignificant. It’s also around 30 000 people … Continue reading In February 2026, more than 3 000 Scots were treated on time in Type 1 A&E units, who would not have been in NHS England

Always choosing the darkness for you – BBC Scotland give you one rape and hide both that it’s TWICE as common in the rest of the UK and that resident doctors are NOT on strike here

johnrobertson834

Above BBC Scotland, below BBC UK: In more than 1 000 words, BBC Scotland’s report on a rape case, above, offers no context of the kind student journalists must have or they fail, eg, ‘Is this offence more common in Scotland than elsewhere as drug deaths apparently are?‘ Would a bit of context have been useful for readers? This kind of thing? On 25 June 2025, I wrote: The media in Scotland are headlining the increase in recorded cases of rape and attempted rape in Scotland. Though the increase may in part be a consequence of a greater confidence by victims … Continue reading Always choosing the darkness for you – BBC Scotland give you one rape and hide both that it’s TWICE as common in the rest of the UK and that resident doctors are NOT on strike here

johnrobertson834

Alexander Dennis (ADL), owned by a Canadian multinational, NFI Group Inc., had already signalled major restructuring and at least partial withdrawal from full bus-building in Scotland.

In March 2026 won a Scottish Government contract for 123 buses but Chinese manufacturer Yutong won a contract for 166. On March 31, 2026, the owners announced full closure. Would it have been reasonable on the light of other pressures on public spending and taxation for the Scottish Government to have given more public money to a company … Continue reading Daily Record suggests Canadian bus company already given £62 million to stay but which always planned to leave should have had more cash from you

As thyroid cancer surges globally a serious warning from Japan for Scotland on Labour’s nuclear energy obsession

johnrobertson834

From researchers working outside the Japanese government departments and those higher education institutions dependent on funds from that government or the nuclear industry itself, the above headline and this: As we approach the 15-year mark since the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station (FDNS) disaster, brought about by Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) and the Japanese government, the government is still unable to revoke the Nuclear Emergency Declaration. Further, without knowing what will happen in the future, and with an exceedingly hazardous accident site that has absolutely no outlook for a final conclusion, the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Station is being restarted. … Continue reading As thyroid cancer surges globally a serious warning from Japan for Scotland on Labour’s nuclear energy obsession
