UK government withholds files on Israeli firm meddling in Scottish elections

johnrobertson834

By Liz S It was reported, three days ago, by The National that “the UK government withholds files on Israeli firm meddling in Scottish elections”. The key here is obviously the fact that is was a “Israeli firm” . Now had it been a Russian firm, well the contents of these files would be released and it would be all over the media (24/7). However if you type “UK government withholds files on Israeli firm meddling in Scottish elections” in your online search engine then you may see what I saw and that was that , as a story , there are … Continue reading UK government withholds files on Israeli firm meddling in Scottish elections

Not one Scottish Jew has been physically assaulted in an anti-semitic attack since records began but the Scotsman reports one non-Jew being ‘pushed and spat at’ to fuel a panic

johnrobertson834

So, a non-Jew on his way to a non-Jewish event is ‘pushed and spat at‘ by someone shouting ‘anti-semitic abuse’ in Edinburgh is a sign that Scotland’s Jews too must now fear events comparable to the actual stabbing, in London, of two men wearing Jewish headgear, by a man with a long history of mental health problems and who had earlier that day tried to murder a Muslim man? You’d think even the churnos at the Scotsman might realise ‘Hey we’re constructing a moral panic here.’ You know, where the media amplify a relatively rare form of crime to make … Continue reading Not one Scottish Jew has been physically assaulted in an anti-semitic attack since records began but the Scotsman reports one non-Jew being ‘pushed and spat at’ to fuel a panic

Attacker of two Jewish men in London had earlier tried to murder a Muslim but typically duplicitous UK media hide that in just the same way they hide essential facts from Scotland – we need out of this

johnrobertson834

Readers may feel we’re straying into an area not directly related to our mission but as Liz S points out this is another example of the duplicity of the UK media that we must surely want to leave behind. By Liz S Much of the media and the Met Police are obscuring something else that happened on the same day a man attacked, as in stabbed, two Jewish men in London. Most of the media and the Met police are promoting this as a anti semitic attack and are only referring to two Jewish men being attacked. However it appear that on the same day the suspect was … Continue reading Attacker of two Jewish men in London had earlier tried to murder a Muslim but typically duplicitous UK media hide that in just the same way they hide essential facts from Scotland – we need out of this

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

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.

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.
