John Swinney knows not one Scottish Jew has been physically assaulted in an anti-semitic attack since records began

johnrobertson834

Professor John Robertson OBA According to the Scottish Daily Express yesterday: Jewish families are considering leaving Scotland in the face of a backlash against the community over the conflict in Gaza, with the First Minister accused of stoking tensions The Jewish population is in decline but that’s a result of intermarriage, aging, assimilation, secularisation and some movement historically but not recently, to Israel and other parts of the world. There’s no sign they’d be fleeing to places where anti-semitism is much more of an issue I’ve been following the annual survey by the Jewish charity, the Community Security Trust, of … Continue reading John Swinney knows not one Scottish Jew has been physically assaulted in an anti-semitic attack since records began

One of Scotland’s useless, jaundiced, hacks is so little read he can’t drag himself out of the abyss

johnrobertson834

Professor John Robertson OBA I’ve written more times about McKenna than I care to remember and had resolved to just ignore his ill-informed and petty tirades against the SNP, but for dog (sorry Kev) knows what reason, I feel the urge. At the heart of his stuff is what seems to be an evidence-free feeling of anti-Catholic discrimination still pervading live in Scotland. The Great Professor Tom Devine disagrees completely but Kev is not for thinking or reading any facts. Ironically given his faith, Kev the Doubter doesn’t seem to worry too much about the religious institution he belongs to. … Continue reading One of Scotland’s useless, jaundiced, hacks is so little read he can’t drag himself out of the abyss

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

johnrobertson834

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

Manchester synagogue attack – As Reporting Scotland try to include us in England’s violence, the important facts they won’t tell you

johnrobertson834

BBC Scotland tonight, headlining a concern with no basis in evidence. On September 8, 2025, we saw a similar attempt to include Scotland. Contrary to media hysteria, there was not one anti-semitic violent attack recorded in Scotland in 2024 By Professor John Robertson OBA, former Faculty Research Ethics Chair, UWS The most recent report on anti-semitic attacks in the UK, in 2024, from the CST, published 12 February 2025, prompted some excited media coverage at the time but today the hoisting, in Edinburgh, of a Palestine flag in sympathy for the genocide in Gaza and in line with the UN position on Palestine as … Continue reading Manchester synagogue attack – As Reporting Scotland try to include us in England’s violence, the important facts they won’t tell you

By Liz S I saw a picture yesterday on Blue Sky of a guy holding a placard that said “Kill ‘Em all” (Is ‘Em’ an abbreviated Scottish word for ‘them’…I do not think so ) . This picture and post on Blue Sky had been reposted by a guy called Colin Dunn (worth a follow as his Blue Sky account is great), The post also stated this……… “A woman was arrested in Glasgow today for wearing a T-shirt that said “Palestine – time for action” under terrorism legislation. Meanwhile this guy was allowed to stand outside an Asylum Seekers hostel … Continue reading “Kill ‘Em all” and “Palestine – time for action”

Gaza protests – Why not target those who are part of the complicit Labour UK government?

johnrobertson834

By Liz S “Pro-Palestinian protesters STORM John Swinney’s Fringe appearance” There is a video on YouTube of this (via The Daily Mirror , the client media of the Labour party)…..call me cynical but there are (were) other political interviews during the Fringe and I wonder if some of these same ‘protestors’ or others will ‘protest’ or did ‘protest’ at these other political events (interviews) on the Fringe….. Anas Sarwar, from Labour was one of the other political interviewees at the Fringe and his interview was not subject to pro Palestine protests …..so why was he, as a Labour politician, exempt … Continue reading Gaza protests – Why not target those who are part of the complicit Labour UK government?

Trump still the less bad choice than Biden or Clinton for many in the world?

johnrobertson834

Professor John Robertson OBA I wrote this about the Biden/Trump contest in 2020 and there’s a link to the earlier one with the dread Hilary Clinton in it. Trump’s complicity in the horror that is Gaza may moderate my position but it seems likely a Democrat president would have been no better. Here it is: If you live in the US, Trump is clearly the more bad choice. Though Biden is no socialist, there is some (little?) hope, under him, for the sick, the poor, women and ethnic minorities and less (little?) joy for the rich and the corporations. But, … Continue reading Trump still the less bad choice than Biden or Clinton for many in the world?
