In 2024 he, together with Anas Sarwar, assured Scotland and the constituency of Grangemouth that Labour would save jobs ay Grangemouth Oil refinery. On 27 June 2024 in his campaign for the UK GE he posted this on ‘X’: “Only @ScottishLabour has … Continue reading Brian Leishman’s very shiny brass neck doesn’t blind us

Well so far a lot of people are seeing Burnham as being not so “different” from the one that he replaced, indeed Burnham is being seen by many people as being nowt more than a ‘Continuity Starmer’. The Guardian reported on 26 August this year that: “Burnham drops support for political funding cap aimed at curbing mega-donors” . Now that is a biggie , as in a betrayal, or is … Continue reading When I said I was going to do politics differently, I meant it!

Good news for Scotland shall never be reported in the supposed ‘news where we are’

Well I think we all know , it’s because when it comes to any good and/or positive news connected to Scotland against any less good and/or less positive news elsewhere within the UK then the golden rule is that it, as good/positive news for Scotland, shall never be reported in the supposed ‘news where we are’ . (just as it also being suppressed as news if it is not so good/positive for the rest of the UK). That is sadly … Continue reading Good news for Scotland shall never be reported in the supposed ‘news where we are’

Class may not ‘determine’ how you vote but only the ‘better-off’ in Scotland significantly support Labour

Sir John Curtice, professor of politics at Strathclyde University, said age and educational background are now much more important than in the past. There’s much wrong with this and I’m not sure if it’s what the reporter has said or what the Sir Professor Emeritus actually said. No one I know has ever thought that social class determines how you … Continue reading Class may not ‘determine’ how you vote but only the ‘better-off’ in Scotland significantly support Labour

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
