Neil Bibby allowed to question a second referendum with facts that on examination are lies but still show the SNP has done far better than his party ever could even if they were true

johnrobertson834

Professor John Robertson OBA Wheeled in by BBC Scotland’s Glen Campbell, in the BBC HQ rather than his constituency, becasue he doesn’t have one, to try to take the wind out of the SNP sails during their conference, Neil Bibby Labour list MSP for the West of Scotland, based on his party only winning 22.2% of the vote, to say: We have got one out of six Scots on an NHS waiting list, we’ve got rising violence in our schools, we’ve got a housing emergency. These are the issues that the people of Scotland want to see action on. 1. … Continue reading Neil Bibby allowed to question a second referendum with facts that on examination are lies but still show the SNP has done far better than his party ever could even if they were true

As unfairly subsidised Polish yard reaches milestone on 7 ferries GMB should be reminded to stop supporting Labour if they want to keep jobs in Scotland or the UK

johnrobertson834

Professor John Robertson OBA The GMB is joining in with Labour, the Herald and BBC Scotland as they try to detract from the SNP Conference. The GMB have clearly forgotten how little they can trust Labour. By Liz S Anas Sarwar tweeted this on 28 September 2025 : “So much for Stronger for Scotland…. More like SNP – Stronger for Poland. This is a huge blow to Scottish shipbuilding. Once again, jobs and investment going abroad on the SNP’s watch” This was in relation to the news that “Ferguson ship yard misses out on new CaLMac Ferry order” as headlined … Continue reading As unfairly subsidised Polish yard reaches milestone on 7 ferries GMB should be reminded to stop supporting Labour if they want to keep jobs in Scotland or the UK

Not yet the news but needed now to undermine the SNP Conference

johnrobertson834

are set to ballot members on strike action, both claiming that the Scottish Government has reneged on promises made earlier in its parliamentary term. Professor John Robertson OBA So, two groups, teachers and young doctors might strike in the future but haven’t even had a vote yet? Wouldn’t this be the news if they have already voted to strike or not to strike? What’s the rush? Well, obviously and firstly, the SNP Conference is already under way and some bad news is needed to report on instead of what the governing party might promise the electorate for the May 2026, … Continue reading Not yet the news but needed now to undermine the SNP Conference

Sarwar Jr has the same grasp of medical science as RFK Jr before his conversion on measles vaccines and supports a criminal justice approach to drug abuse which does not reduce it and which carries significant harms for individuals and for all of us

johnrobertson834

Professor John Robertson OBA Robert F Kennedy Jnr has at least had the intelligence to change his mind on measles vaccination but Sarwar Jr shows little sign of learning on drug abuse and regulation as he pursues populist, street-corner, theories in a vain attempt to undermine the SNP Conference and to come second in the 2026 Scottish election. In the Daily Record yesterday as the SNP Conference begins: Anas Sarwar says he does not support drug decriminalisation for personal use: The Scottish Labour leader said communities do not back “making it easier for people to get drugs and take drugs” … Continue reading Sarwar Jr has the same grasp of medical science as RFK Jr before his conversion on measles vaccines and supports a criminal justice approach to drug abuse which does not reduce it and which carries significant harms for individuals and for all of us

So we have BBC Scotland, the Chair of the Scottish BMA, Sarwar, Baillie, the English NHS Health Secretary Wes Streeting, the UK PM, all of Labour HQ & the branch office Labour party in Scotland all politicising the NHS in Scotland but England’s NHS is to be exempt from politicisation now that Labour are in charge. I see. Got it.

johnrobertson834

By Liz S “Why is Reporting Scotland still headlining the three-day-old news of ‘hundreds’ of operations cancelled in one NHS board”…….why indeed. Well they, the BBC ‘news’ teams in Scotland, need to hang onto (prolong) what they promote as being #BAD ‘news’….. that they then see as being another political weapon that they can use against the SNP…………it also helps to reinforce the BBC in Scotland’s current favourite UK political party’s message, as in the Labour party, and their political campaign of misinformation upon the Scottish NHS and the SNP. Meanwhile yesterday MSM Monitor posted this on ‘X’ “Waiting times in the English NHS … Continue reading So we have BBC Scotland, the Chair of the Scottish BMA, Sarwar, Baillie, the English NHS Health Secretary Wes Streeting, the UK PM, all of Labour HQ & the branch office Labour party in Scotland all politicising the NHS in Scotland but England’s NHS is to be exempt from politicisation now that Labour are in charge.

NHS waiting list in England is longer per head by quarter of a million patients and shockingly twice as long in Wales, than in Scotland

johnrobertson834

Professor John Robertson OBA MSM Monitor, fast and effective as always, demolished the claims of Baillie and Sarwar yesterday. What are the most recent waiting list figures? So, with 10 times the population, England might be expected to have 10 times as many as Scotland or 7 180 000 but has 230 000 more. With just over half (0.57%) of the population, Wales might be expected to just over half of the waiting list length, 400 000 at most, of Scotland but actually has nearly 400 000 more than that.

Please tell us Sir Ian will there be any oil left next year?

johnrobertson834

Professor John Robertson OBA Remember Sir Ian Wood back in 2014, doing his best to get a No vote in the referendum by telling us, with only days to go, that the oil would soon run out? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-28867487 Sir Ian is back again, on the P&J front page today with wind turbines behind him: Has he gone green because the oil has run out like he said it would? Will it be more difficult to tell us that the wind only has a few years left when BBC Scotland consult him days before the next referendum? Don’t count him out … Continue reading Please tell us Sir Ian will there be any oil left next year?

Jewish Scot confirms research suggesting there is less anti-Semitism here to spoil BBC Reporting Scotland agenda that we’re just as bad as elsewhere in the UK

also hopeful it is safer as Jewish people to live in Glasgow, in Scotland than there is not as much anti-Semitism, ant-Zionism, there is not these much going ahead, there is not so much hatred. Professor John Robertson OBA On BBC Reporting Scotland last night we saw an interview with a Jewish woman from Glasgow, welcoming the apparent peace settlement in Gaza but also, unscripted, telling the reporter that she is aware of less anti-Semitism in Scotland. This is not something the MSM here want you to be thinking. Remember, we’re just like the rest of the UK, bad. While … Continue reading Jewish Scot confirms research suggesting there is less anti-Semitism here to spoil BBC Reporting Scotland agenda that we’re just as bad as elsewhere in the UK

Plummeting drug deaths and target-busting treatment but they desperately hang on to Scotland’s past

johnrobertson834

Professor John Robertson OBA BBC Scotland‘s website is headlining the vote in Holyrood yesterday which rejected the Conservative Party’s proposed bill that would have given people with drug and alcohol addictions the legal right to treatment. The report opens with  Former Scottish Conservative leader Douglas Ross, who tabled the Right to Addiction Recovery (Scotland) Bill, said the legislation would have saved lives. However, opponents said the proposals risked overburdening already stretched services. No evidence for either of these claims if offered and the author has little choice but to tell us, at same point, even if later, the facts which … Continue reading Plummeting drug deaths and target-busting treatment but they desperately hang on to Scotland’s past

Why is Reporting Scotland still headlining the three-day-old news of ‘hundreds’ of operations cancelled in one NHS board when it never tells us of the month after month 98% of thousands completed across the country?

johnrobertson834

with faulty sterilising equipment that’s led to the cancellation of hundreds of operations, is fixed. Professor John Robertson OBA BBC Scotland‘s insert in BBC Breakfast this morning opens with the above story. The BBC Scotland website and STV last mentioned it three days ago. They’re desperately milking a rare NHS Scotland ‘failure’ that they hope you will connect with the SNP Government in some way. They never report this good news based on figures that appear month after month: NHS Scotland was ready to complete 98% of operations in August 2025 despite steadily increasing demand From Public Health Scotland 7 October 2025: … Continue reading Why is Reporting Scotland still headlining the three-day-old news of ‘hundreds’ of operations cancelled in one NHS board when it never tells us of the month after month 98% of thousands completed across the country?
