The plague of English drug gangs surging 40% in one year and holding back progress on drug deaths – How BBC Highland will tell the truth that cannot be told in BBC Scotland
Professor John Robertson OBA As in the previous two series, BBC Highland Cops, outsourced production, is prepared to make clear that the surge in drug crime and associated extreme violence, across the Scottish Highlands, is due to the arrival in the last 6 or so so years of County Lines gangs entirely from English cities, 10 in Inverness alone. Notably the recent Scottish MSM attempts to add Glasgow to the list of cities where such gangs have origins is not sustained by this. In language you will never see on BBC Scotland or STV: county lines group. The first wee … Continue reading The plague of English drug gangs surging 40% in one year and holding back progress on drug deaths – How BBC Highland will tell the truth that cannot be told in BBC Scotland
Once you are identified as being a news source that consistently promotes misinformation then it should really be ‘Game Over
By Liz S MSM Monitor posted this on ‘X’ in respect to the BBC Sunday show: “The Sunday Show lined up Douglas Alexander and Margaret Curran to follow John Swinney’s conference interview. Two hard-line Labour BritNats. Alexander launched into multiple SNPBad attacks with zero challenge. There were no SNP voices on during the Labour conference. None” Curran another Labour Dinosaur and also historically a failed MP , who was , like others, one who was (eventually) parachuted , in January 2025 , into the HOL. An action that Sir Keir Starmer assumed was acceptable to do (though did he really care on … Continue reading Once you are identified as being a news source that consistently promotes misinformation then it should really be ‘Game Over
Correcting the BBC – UK Government is not paying to build warships on the Clyde, Norway is
By Liz S MSM Monitor posted this on ‘X’ on 12/10/25 in respect to a Laura Kuenssberg interview with John Swinney on her Sunday Politics programme……. “Laura Kuenssberg twice claimed the UK Govt was supplying £10bn to build warships on the Clyde. This is false. The £10bn will come from Norway after it signed a deal with BAE systems. The UK Govt isn’t supplying any cash” . Meanwhile the same BBC in August 2025 on their website wrote…. “UK secures £10bn deal to supply Norway with warships” So let’s break that BBC website headline down. “UK secures £10bn” not as Kuenssberg was stating “ UK Govt was supplying £10bn”. Big difference is there not in both statements…….as in both cannot be … Continue reading Correcting the BBC – UK Government is not paying to build warships on the Clyde, Norway is
There will be no tears if we lose this Loose Woman
Professor John Robertson OBA Let’s hope this is not a cruel joke and that we do see the end of the likes of Gary Robertson, Laura Maxwell, Fiona Stalker and, of course, from her own show, the dread Kaye Adams. I see they seem to like her on that Loose Women show. They don’t know her like we do. Loose Women? More Loose-tongued: Loose accounting too: From ITV, on 11 October 2023, but only spotted now after a month of careful concealment by the BBC: Kaye Adams‘s dispute with HMRC over a potential £124k tax bill is being heard in … Continue reading There will be no tears if we lose this Loose Woman
In a medium sized country like Scotland not far away there is a ‘Labour Party’ in opposition that takes a different view from the socially conservative Mr Sarwar.
By stewartb In a medium sized country like Scotland not far away there is a ‘Labour Party’ in opposition that takes a different view from the socially conservative Mr Sarwar. This is the Labour Party of Ireland. Source: https://labour.ie/policy/decrim/ ‘Labour believes in a system in decriminalisation and taking a health led approach. It’s time to take problem drug use out of the courts and wrap supports around people who need help. Criminalising, shaming and stigmatising people in addiction leads to a system that undermines and dehumanises people who need our support, care and compassion. It’s time to change it. ‘Decriminalising would mean: … Continue reading In a medium sized country like Scotland not far away there is a ‘Labour Party’ in opposition that takes a different view from the socially conservative Mr Sarwar.
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
