Anyhow, I, none of us, need to hear their unconvincing lies. We already know: Researchers have found that heavy consumption of negative news triggers the release of stress hormones and consequent increases in anxiety [i], [ii], [iii]. Studies of voting patterns have found that those with a ‘negativity bias’ derived from fear and anxiety about the world they live … Continue reading The power of nightmares – the real reasons why the BBC made THAT Glasgow documentary?

‘Scottish’ Daily Express today desperately tries to link it to Scotland but nothing in Scotland looks anything like the mass child grooming rape gangs in England

From the First Minister 9 February 2026, responding to calls for a national review: However, in order for any action to be effective, we must appropriately consider the relevance of these recommendations for our specific legislative, statutory service and regulatory landscape, and the scale of this specific form of organised gang-related sexual abuse of children and young people in Scotland. I would firstly like to clarify that the recent case of child sexual abuse in Glasgow cited in your previous letter, … Continue reading ‘Scottish’ Daily Express today desperately tries to link it to Scotland but nothing in Scotland looks anything like the mass child grooming rape gangs in England

The number of women murder victims has fallen dramatically, almost by half, over the SNP period and to 15 last year, but the Sunday Post pads out its front page with the likes of Jack McConnel!

The Sunday Post has an array of the woman victims of violence AND, I thought, their male abusers together. No, it’s the men and some of the women who are those campaigning on behalf of women’s rights. Can you see Nicola Sturgeon there. If not it’s shameful for reasons I’ll come to below. A year or so ago, the Guardian had a similar image but it was all women victims. Why has the … Continue reading The number of women murder victims has fallen dramatically, almost by half, over the SNP period and to 15 last year, but the Sunday Post pads out its front page with the likes of Jack McConnel!

Guardian joins the Glasgow pile-on with fake news from just one witness

johnrobertson834

In the Guardian today, the above and: Scottish people have always been known for their friendliness. “We’re not like the south of us,” they say, referring to England. The official slogan of Scotland’s largest city, “People make Glasgow”, appears everywhere – on T-shirts, buildings, bus stops and mugs. And when I first moved to Scotland from India in 2018, I was immediately welcomed by kind strangers and helpful neighbours. People showed curiosity, rather than intrusiveness. They respected queues; told me I fit right in. Music, art and cultural events were considered inclusive spaces in the city, with calls for diversity, … Continue reading Guardian joins the Glasgow pile-on with fake news from just one witness

‘Particularly nasty budget storm looming’, only predicted by lads with limited cvs

We’ve met Phillips many times before. Need we listen to him? Who is he? To be fair, the Herald’s Andrew Learmonth does not seem to do as much yoon-fawning like the Scotsman, in February 2026: SNP budget ‘looks increasingly detached from reality’, top economist warns – SNP ministers have not got the money to pay for doctor’s pay deals with next year’s budget looking … Continue reading ‘Particularly nasty budget storm looming’, only predicted by lads with limited cvs

The tragic BBC Scotland mission to give Scotland a child rape grooming gang of its own

Why? Seven paragraphs down: ‘Of?’ There’s no mention of where they are ‘from’ or if they fled Norfolk or Wales, as seems likely. Notably, not even the worst tabloid has tried this trick. None mention the story. I tells you something about BBC Scotland. That all the offences were committed in Norfolk will not stop them trying to import child … Continue reading The tragic BBC Scotland mission to give Scotland a child rape grooming gang of its own

Here are those who have been rewarded for their part, with well-paid, secure employment, in lies about, amongst other topics, Scotland’s ferries, hospitals, schools and crime rates: Today, they face, for them, an unexpected shock: Should they have known this might come? AI – Do those employees who lie on … Continue reading How BBC Scotland’s regime loyalists should have seen this betrayal coming

Grenfell – England is letting companies pass the buck

johnrobertson834

In the Guardian today, the above and: There is something profoundly wrong when the company behind Grenfell Tower’s flammable cladding paid more compensation to its shareholders than to victims of the disaster. Of Arconic’s £86m in Grenfell-related settlements, all but £1.5m was covered by insurers. Hardly enough to make a multinational think again. The company whose product the inquiry found was the “primary cause” of the fire’s rapid spread has ended up paying only a fraction of the wider social cost, while the multibillion-pound bill for making hundreds of buildings safe falls largely on the state. In June 2017, 72 people – … Continue reading Grenfell – England is letting companies pass the buck

Tory spokesperson in Scotsman hiding NHS Scotland’s cancer treatment performing better than and and saving thousands who would have been delayed in NHS England

johnrobertson834

In the Scotsman today, under the frontpage headline ‘Ministers warned of ‘ticking timebomb’ of cancer cases’, Miles Briggs (above) is allowed to present the fakest of fake news with a view to undermining the SNP: Leaping over the opening statements to the ten year change figures which do show significant increases in cancer incidence over that decade, he ignores the fact that this has resulted from an aging population, living long enough to report, especially prostate cancer, and the first statement: In 2024, there were 37,657 new cancers registered in Scotland (19,473 in males and 18,184 in females). This was … Continue reading Tory spokesperson in Scotsman hiding NHS Scotland’s cancer treatment performing better than and and saving thousands who would have been delayed in NHS England

Child Soldiers – How ruthless English drug gangs are recruiting hundreds of Scots kids for crime

johnrobertson834

The Sun, yesterday has the above, but holds back from identifying this as a problem deriving from the activity of county lines drugs gangs based in England. I’ve been writing about this plague of extreme crime, at TuS for years now, shamelessly exploiting as fully as I can the political benefits of such a plague in making the case for independence. I make no bones about it. I’m biased like the Unionist media but unlike them I use reliable sources of evidence to make my case. However, this time why don’t I hand over responsibility completely to a system that … Continue reading Child Soldiers – How ruthless English drug gangs are recruiting hundreds of Scots kids for crime
