gavinochiltree “If you think old England’s done”! Monty Pythons flying (“expert”) circus is back in town. Perhaps Dr Ibrahim hasn’t noticed the shrinking of Scotland’s regiments over the decades–the lack of sea-born cover of Scotland’s coastline–the closing down of Scottish air bases. But when Scotland regains its independence it should be entitled to fixed assets and a share of other assets.That would include Faslane/Coulport and all that is contained within–even though Scotland does not wish them, they are one almighty bargaining chip. I would lease the nuke bases for a decade to allow Greater England to build new facilities. Another … Continue reading Dr Ibrahim’s pythonesque intelligence

Reporting Scotland have been everywhere looking for flooded properties and perhaps lives endangered as the Met Office issued an Amber Alert. So, far nothing beyond wet road surfaces and a few abandoned cars but they haven’t given up. in 2016, as major flooding of homes in England was desperately linked by ‘our’ media to a few cases in Scotland and supposed SNP failures. Why are homes not flooding 40-50mm of rain in 24 hours? As far back as 2006, researchers at the English College of Estates Management, whose patron was HRH Prince of Wales, made a number of highly encouraging … Continue reading SNP Government investment in flood barriers has paid off as NO properties are flooded

Scottish Tory MSP Maurice Golden – who obtained the figures through a parliamentary question to … Continue reading 99% working on any one day: Conservative MSP reveals remarkable reliability of Scotland’s car charging points

Doctor Iain Kennedy is everywhere in the MSM, forecasting doom and scaring the old and vulnerable in a manner quite unworthy of a trained medic As the ever alert MSM Monitor has noted he fails to mention what his UK HQ has reported: NHS would not survive without the contribution of overseas healthcare workers, BMA says https://www.bma.org.uk/bma-media-centre/nhs-would-not-survive-without-the-contribution-of-overseas-healthcare-workers-bma-says Instead, he joins that venal posse of opposition politicians in blaming the ‘SNP Government.’ Again as MSM Monitor has revealed, he seems far too fond of that other part-timer, Sandesh Gulhane MSP (Con): Kennedy is presented as a top or leading doctor when … Continue reading This man is most definitely NOT a ‘head doctor’ NOR is he a ‘top doctor’, he’s just very naughty union rep!

Ill keep this short. It’s another Reporting Scotland-only story, not fully written up for their website because it’s just a feed directly to John Beattie or some other New Labour Luvvie in Pacific Quay. It is, of course, not news to help viewers make sense of the world they live in. Which former Labour leader thinks English-style city mayors are needed in Scotland? Gordon Brown, former PM. Which thinktank agrees with him? This one: Reform Scotland, like most right-wing, unionist, so-called think tanks is keen to project itself as somehow independent or non-partisan. Any social science student will tell you … Continue reading Mayors for Scotland Shock: Thinktank headed up by former Labour leader supports ideas of former Labour leader

In the Herald, today (28 December 2022), ‘Sarwar fails to replicate Starmer’s success!’ No!! Whit!! Who’d a thunk? Well Talking Up Scotland on November 19 2022, 39 whole days earlier: I’m shocked. Kenny Farquharson hasn’t bother to look at the actual support for Scottish Labour to see if they might be replicating the Starmer surge in England. It’s so easy. In the last 5 full Scottish polls, August-October 2022, the SNP averaged 46.6% and Labour averaged 26.2%, more than a 20% lead, as the Con support collapsed. In March-April, the 5 poll averages were 44.8% and 24%, the same lead. So, a … Continue reading 1.1 ‘man’ blog beats 38 ‘man’ newspaper to punch
