Burnham seems ‘Mad for it’

johnrobertson834

By Liz S “The Pennsylvania Department of Health will be distributing free potassium iodide (KI) tablets to those York County residents that live, learn or work within 10 miles of the Peach Bottom power plant“ “Has the UK Government, responsible for nuclear power regulation in Scotland ever shown such concern for Scots living near nuclear facilities in Scotland ?” Nope. Indeed as far as UK governments are concerned, both the Tories & also the Labour party , all they seek to do is to impose more Nuclear power Stations within Scotland. Potential various dire consequences and fallout (pun intended) be damned. However it seems that they, UK … Continue reading Burnham seems ‘Mad for it’

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

Naïve SNP dismiss China warnings

johnrobertson834

By Liz S So today, surprise surprise (not), the front pages of the decidedly non Scottish editions of The Daily Mail & The Daily Express state this: The Daily mail – “Naïve SNP dismiss China warnings”. The Daily Express – “SNP support for Chinese turbine plant poses profound security risk“. I prefer to “dismiss” anything that the Daily Mail front pages write about either the SNP or Scotland. Also it is clear that The Daily Express “poses a profound risk” to truth and honesty when writing about politics in Scotland , that is due to their (obvious) “support” for ‘any party but the SNP in Scotland due to their (most … Continue reading Naïve SNP dismiss China warnings

Listeners ‘short changed’ on quality and accuracy by BBC Radio Scotland

johnrobertson834

By Liz S BBC ‘Scotland’ is at it again….but then, (big sigh), that is what we have all come to know and expect by this British propaganda outfit that works relentlessly for the sustainment of their UK State. MSM Monitor added a post via BBC Radio Scotland (sourced from an accusation by the Labour leader of the Council in Edinburgh against the Scottish government- the SNP). The BBC Radio Scotland post on ‘X’ stated this: “Edinburgh City Council leader Jane Marr says Glasgow is being prioritised over Edinburgh when it comes to fire recovery funding. Do you think the money is being shared fairly” ? “Has Edinburgh being short … Continue reading Listeners ‘short changed’ on quality and accuracy by BBC Radio Scotland

27% more officers help Police Scotland cope with fewer, far smaller and far less violent anti-immigration protests than in England

johnrobertson834

is placing significant pressure on its officers. Another one of these stories that only appear in Reporting Scotland broadcasts and are not fully presented with evidence on the website – different editors? This one is based entirely on the opinion of a trade union leader. Anyhow, while not wishing to understate the importance and the pressures involved in dealing with anti-immigration protests in Scotland, there are some facts our taxpayer-funded public service broadcaster should be telling us. First, Scotland has the highest ratio of police officers per 100 000 population – 295. England and Wales forces have a lower combined ratio 235–241. … Continue reading 27% more officers help Police Scotland cope with fewer, far smaller and far less violent anti-immigration protests than in England

Burnham delivers ‘for Scotland’ two men close to Peter Mandelson

johnrobertson834

From Liz S The Sunday Mail (falsely) headlined this last Sunday: “Burnham: I’ll deliver for Scotland”. So what has he, so far, “delivered” ? Well he has given a peerage and also a role in his UK government to someone who, as the (alleged) leader of Labour in Scotland, (badly) lost the Scottish election for Labour in Scotland in May of this year. He has also kept on the same SOS against Scotland even after revelations in June 2026 that this same individual, Douglas Alexander, was said to have “broken the ministerial code by not declaring a meeting with Peter Mandelson’s lobbying agency“ that is when he, Alexander, … Continue reading Burnham delivers ‘for Scotland’ two men close to Peter Mandelson

Anas protests reduced access to the First Minister but seems OK with no access to the new PM

johnrobertson834

Above, one of the very few media outlets reporting the no media access for the new PM yesterday and below one of the many reporting the moderated access for the FM, on 29 January 2026: By Liz S Talking of Anas and his U turns, as in his seemingly conflicting opinions , opinions that are dependent on who they can most damage and who they can most protect. In June of this year the BBC reported this on their website: “Holyrood restricts media access to politicians after FMQs” “A row has broken out at Holyrood after it was announced journalists will have restricted access … Continue reading Anas protests reduced access to the First Minister but seems OK with no access to the new PM

If it were really the case that Starmer has made the country better why, after only two years, is he now being replaced ?

johnrobertson834

By Liz S Yesterday Keir Starmer posted this on ‘X’ “The test of any Prime Minister is: do you leave your country in a better place than you found it? I’m proud that the answer is yes”. Still delusional I see. I mean if it were really the case that he has made the country better via his premiership, then why, after only two years as the Labour UK PM , is he now being replaced ? Obviously his deluded observation is not supported by either his own MP’s nor indeed the public. I wonder if as a reward for … Continue reading If it were really the case that Starmer has made the country better why, after only two years, is he now being replaced ?

However in England 

johnrobertson834

By Liz S Currently the UK government has the majority of the powers, the control and also the money within the UK State. I read this recent headline from The National newspaper: “Labour pledge £10 million for new Scottish colleges but only if the SNP pay the same”. The National states it is in relation to this: “The UK Government has pledged to invest £10 million creating two ‘defence technical excellence colleges’ in Scotland – but the money will only be delivered if it is matched by the SNP” However in England these types of colleges were to be fully funded by the UK Government. (Some of these English colleges were in areas that … Continue reading However in England

That’s it settled – £50 from each of you to save jobs in Scunthorpe and don’t talk to us about Barnett

johnrobertson834

Thanks to Dottie for alerting me to this. In the Guardian today: British Steel has formally been taken into public ownership 15 months after the government stepped in to prevent the closure of its steelworks in Scunthorpe and the loss of 4,000 jobs. Keir Starmer on Thursday said that it was in the national interest for the government to take over the factory from its Chinese owner, Jingye, in one of the last significant actions overseen by him as prime minister after the Steel Industry (Nationalisation) Act received Royal Assent on Wednesday. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2026/jul/16/british-steel-public-ownership-save-uk-supply-scunthorpe What will the upfront costs be? Around … Continue reading That’s it settled – £50 from each of you to save jobs in Scunthorpe and don’t talk to us about Barnett
