“Sturgeon”…the BBC’s language is harsh & demonising using a mixture of cringe & misogyny. Compare ‘Rishi’, the PM, ‘Boris’. The BBC reflecting the threat to the UK elites from a smart & successful working-class Scottish woman. Everything Nicola represents threatens their power.
2 months ago BBC Scotland Kaye Adams demanded to know why Scottish Govt wasn’t following following the Truss/Kwarteng *tax-cutting* budget..now Kaye’s demanding why don’t ScotGovt..checks notes..*raise taxes!*. Just a UKGovt propagandist, not a real journalist.
No wonder the BBC is dying when Sarah Vine, Gove’s partner invited on to “impartially” review the papers and attack everyone opposed to the UK government. Utterly inappropriate

People in Dumfries & Galloway voted Tory. They voted for Johnson & Jack to “get Brexit done”. Now one of their key industries, Scotland’s main ferry link into Ireland & the EU is in jeopardy. A key reason for this is the Tory deregulated Brexit economy. The one that D&G voted for
Have you noticed how the Scottish government’s

CalMac blamed for milk shortages that are actually due to (Brexit) supply lines from England-based supermarkets.
@BBCScotlandNews
where truth goes to die
When they say “UK” they actually mean England.
When they say “Britain” they also mean England.
When they say “British” they mean the same as English.
Scotland has known this for generations, but kept quiet. Time to call it out, every time. Time to start being louder, Scotland
So who the hell does Burnham think he is? He’s the leader of a provincial local council. Sturgeon communicated with his *national* government about restrictions on travel to Manchester. It was for the government of England to communicate to one of it’s many local mayors
BBC myth: that the vaccine programme success is something to do with Boris Johnson. It isn’t. The success is down to the NHS, Public Health Scotland & the organisational team at the Scottish Government.
Yesterday academics at Glasgow & Edinburgh Universities published data that 62% of Scots supported the planned IndyRef. Not a word on

of course, they are concealing evidence from the public. But the usual double act unionists reviewing the unionist papers. Get angry
This week Ruth Davidson, unelected, London-based with a guaranteed state-funded income LECTURED the rest of us that we would need to pay our ‘fair share of tax’.
But note hypocrite Tory ‘Baroness’ Davidson has set up a company to launder all her income at a reduced tax-rate!
Anyone who thinks that the UK security services are not behind attempts to split the SNP with lies, smears and plots (headlined by their pals at BBCScotland & MSM), doesn’t know the history of how the British state responds to threats to its power. Dont let them divide us.
Starmer says
@NicolaSturgeon
obsessed about independence. That’s of course a massive lie. The FM has been scrupulous to avoid talking up independence during the pandemic.Why do Labour continue to lie to Scotland’s people?
#Marr
refers to the ‘British Experiment’ except that it’s not happening in Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland. See how the language used is not only false but is designed to shape people’s thinking. There is no ‘British’ experiment; there is an English experiment

Sadly
@BBCJamesCook
has revealed himself. James is not the journalist we thought he was; rather he has hyped a story with overreaction & hysteria. And blamed a minor anti-Tory protest on independence supporters. a real *journalist* would never have behaved like this.
Jo Swinson has been spotted voting in East Dunbartonshire. The first time she’s been in the constituency during this election. And that’s a fact.

Extraordinary BBC bias: the FM’s speech was not carried live on *any* BBC TV channel. Only a brief mention near the end of the English programme
@BBCPolitics
That’s the bias of omission, quite an insult to the Scottish people, as well as a really poor service
@BBCScotlandNews
Ever wondered why

platforms an elderly long retired *bacteriologist* with a political commitment to Unionist Labour rather than a young brilliant female public health virus pandemic expert at Edinburgh university?

Hospital chaos in England? So what’s BBC Scotland response? Reporter sent to Inverness to spin that ‘Scotland’s NHS is just as bad as England’ - that’s a big BBC unionist lie. Scotland’s NHS is under pressure but performing much better than NHS England. BBC misreporting Scotland.
Following up on Johnson’s crass joke about
#Thatcher
’s closures helping climate change. Dr Harry Burns has said that Scotland’s poor health, drug abuse & low confidence comes directly from Thatcher’s brutal closure of old industries without any proper transitional arrangements.
BBC Scotland reporting that no Freedom Day for Scotland is ‘just politics’. Funnily enough I thought it was due to a global pandemic where millions have died, 160000 excess deaths in the UK, but that’s just me
Apparently Barrhead Travel in trouble. That’s a shame. I seem to recall they were very politically vocal about how much “BetterTogether” we were in 2014. They never mentioned Tory austerity, Brexit or a global pandemic, of course
Sir Ian Wood lied to the people of Scotland during indyref saying the oil was running out. Classic fear mongering. After the vote he admitted there was 20 years or more remaining. This will be his legacy: a billionaire who lied to his own to support his unionist masters
Notice that Glenn Campbell gets an interview with Andy the local mayor in Manchester but not with the leader of our country. Instead of promoting Scotland,
@BBCScotlandNews
once again sides with the perspective of UK Labour in a baseless and opportunistic attack.
Utterly disgearceful that the briefing from the Clown in London is carried in full *in Scotland* (although most of it DOESNT APPLY TO SCOTLAND!) yet the FM’s Briefing today cut short by
@BBCScotlandNews
Who the hell are you lot? We see your antiScotland cringe.
Never forget.
They are not “Scotland’s Other Govt’.
They are *rulers* without any democratic mandate in Scotland. The UKGovt, House of Lords & Royals have no *democratic* legitimacy in Scotland whatsoever. This needs to be ended & no amount of BBC/media/royal gaslighting changes that.
Clearly the hand of the MI5 & the Unionist dirty tricks operation is intent on destroying Nicola Sturgeon & indeed the SNP. They destroyed Sheridan, they destroyed Salmond & have divided the independence movement. We have a very effective & ruthless enemy
Jason Leitch schools Sarah Smith on covid as she searches for the

line & when she ‘delights’ in saying FM self-isolating: Prof Leitch issues gentle rebuke to odious Smith ‘1st thing we ask in this situation ‘how is she?’ Scotland hater. Smith cuts i/v!
@BBCr4today
The choice is quite simple: you either support our national struggle for independence led by the SNP, or you’re with the Tories and everything they will do to destroy the very idea of Scotland. There is no middle ground in the actual real world.
I think the whole SNP membership row is overhyped in order to promote the chaos narrative. Winning 8 elections & changing Scotland for the better is their very impressive legacy.
That’s why the BBC/BBC Scotland/Unionist MSM/Labour are mind-fucking Scotland with this crap.
Headline BBC Scotland News: “Scotland is really shite” says Thunberg. Except Greta said no such thing. She said *no country* meeting climate targets, not just Scotland. Just more selective spinning from from our ‘friends’ at

Except they’re not Scotland’s friends
Douglas Ross was given a regular media platform to call for the FM’s resignation over a ‘date’ but Tory Party corruption? Not a word...
@BBCScotlandNews
@BBCNews
Let’s be clear the use of the Union flag in Scotland doesn’t simply signal unionism. It signals sectarianism, religious & cultural supremacism that celebrates the worst aspects of Imperial hegemony. It signals intolerance, divisiveness and hatred.
Douglas Ross voted in HoC to:
1/ scrap the triple pensions lock
2/ increase NI contributions to fund NHS/social care in England
3/ to reduce Universal Credit support for low income families
Why has he not been asked a single question about this?
@BBCScotlandNews
@BBCJohnBeattie
Notice that
@BBCScotlandNews
is inferring falsely that the Scottish Govt is responsible for the high levels of oil extracted from UK waters. Let’s be clear this is nothing to do with the SG: energy & quantity of oil extracted is a UK Govt responsibility. BBC Misinformation again
Inaccurate slanted reporting by
@bbclaurak
@BBCNews
who says that ‘Chris Whitty is the chief medical officer for the whole of the UK’. No he’s not; he’s the CMO for England *not* the UK; Health is devolved, remember? BBC spin yet again.
When I think of the energy and resources that went into fitting up first Salmond, then Sturgeon, & then compare the UKgov where a real catalogue of errors, incompetence, cronyism & corruption has been ignored by
@BBCScotlandNews
in a ‘nothing to worry about’ cover-up operation
The lies from
@BBCRadioScot
just keep coming as they wage a war of control on Scotland on behalf of London. Lucy White says “GERS is at the heart of the case for independence”. GERS is what happens in the UNION - it’s nothing to do with indy! Stop lying & misinforming!
#bbcgms
Douglas Ross a unqualified footie referee is now arguing ‘law’ with the Lord Advocate. 👀 DRoss concluding that the Scottish Parliament is a ‘complete’ failure. That’s where this leads: a justification for UKG abolishing the Parliament. And that’s what the Tories really want.
It’s strange that given a world class MRC Virology Unit

rushes always to get an elderly long retired & very political unionist activist to comment on infections & viruses. The question is why?
@MrChrisWands
Andrew Castle should be pointing out that Edwina Currie appointed Jimmy Savile to lead Inquiry into a high security Psychiatric facility at Broadmoor. Just think abt that. She says that Hancock is a ‘naughty boy’. This is how the UK media covers up incompetence & corruption
@LBC
BBC Scotland fails to tell you that the cuts the Scottish Govt ‘may be forced to make’ is that our budget is controlled & reduced ENTIRELY by Westminster/UKGovt. The cuts are from London. We are starved of our own resources & lied to by BBC/Labour/Tories: not ‘BetterTogether’
I’m sorry Andrew, but the idea that Gordon Brown or Lord Darling should be allowed anywhere near building the new Scotland is highly inflammatory and just wont happen.
Young person on
#bbgms
says mortgages are unaffordable.
Gary Robertson then blames Scottish Govt for HIGH MORTGAGE rates set by UK banks, Bank of England & UKGovt. These people are truth twisting Scotland -haters. Everything BBC Scotland does is a perversion of the facts.
Sunak says he will hold the FM to account. Who the fuck does he think he is? The people of Scotland will hold the FM (& all these Tory liars) to account.
No one seems to have asked any DUP leader about their:
anti-equality
anti-abortion
anti-trans
anti-Catholic
anti-Gaelic
anti-EU
evolution-denying
anti-science views
But they’re Unionists so that’s OK?
@C4Ciaran
Every voice you’re hearing on
@BBCRadioScot
is from London or Labour. Not an elected Scottish MP given a voice. This is what a propaganda service for the London elite looks like. We’re expected to believe that one we need is more of the same.
I am contrasting the news black-out about the Tory MP accused of rape with the news handling of the named SNP MP allegation. Why the difference in transparency?
Why did
@BBCScotlandNews
ignore the FM’s visit to Washington where she met Speaker Pelosi & delivered a speech to the leading Think Tank Brookings? Yet they’re going big on Sarwar’s vacuous soundbites to a small Labour Club in London. Clearly v biassed & promoting unionist dogma.
Our first real move over 50% support under Nicola, and they’ve attempted to assassinate her. Never forget, we are in fact in a war against very evil undemocratic forces but the Scottish people will prevail.
Kaye Adams, tax dodger (allegedly 😉) now railing against Scot Govt..not Mone? Mone should be the big phone-in today but again the BBC Scotland News job is to attack Yousaf, Sturgeon, Salmond & the very existence of Scotland. Not only corrupt news but very dangerous BBC people.
Tory voters conned as DRoss signals he wont be attending Holyrood to hold the FM to account at
#FMQs
. Utterly disgraceful that a 3-jobs part-time Tory cant give Scotland any priority. Ross is a coward: he didn’t stand in a constituency & now he’s afraid to face Nicola Sturgeon.

not making it clear that test centre that sent Ayr woman to Antrim is a UK government run privatised testing facility. Nothing to do with NHS Scotland or Scottish Government. But why bother reporting the facts?

Came in tonight to hear Hugh Edwards saying “PM was addressing the whole UK tonight” No he wasn’t Hugh: he was announcing measures for his country: England. He referred to the ‘devolved administrations’ as if they were colonies.

Douglas Ross says we must await a committee of inquiry by the police 😉before judging

@BBCGaryR
doesn’t ask why he didn’t afford the FM the same consideration
#bbcgms
Not news, news suppression.
Is the UK government, who control all UK vaccines supplies deliberately rationing vaccines to Scotland to destabilise the Scottish Government? This is a huge story but ignored by the MSM: we will get the facts out
Huge misstep for Royals to get involved with constitutional argument in Scotland. Clearly Royals have chosen a side. This brings the question of does Scotland need or want a monarchy in 2021? I want an elected HoS preferably not one aligned politically like Royal family
40 minutes into Kaye’s programme and in Remain-voting Scotland every call so far in favour of Leave. StateMedia promotes an English nationalist policy. Who knew?
@BBCScotlandNews
The Tory Party, a London based political party, has around 5000 members in Scotland, & at 19% in the polls & hasn’t won an election in Scotland since 1950s. So why is DRoss being showcased every day on

Negative spin on covid vax by

@BBCScotlandNews
Once again the antagonism at PQ for Scotland making progress is so very evident.
Here’s the BBC Scotland problem: spin & misinformation.
This morning BBC Scotland presenter reads out text saying “Lineker broke the Law..” it’s *not* the Law. It’s a BBC internal policy for staff, not the Law. Factually incorrect.
@BBCScotlandNews
Here’s what happened:
In order to attack the Independence Movement, the Tory UKGovt Home Secretary instructed the Met/National Crime Agency to take action against Nicola Sturgeon & SNP. The NCA then directed & used Police Scotland to enact an OTT humiliation & political shaming
Sarwar is no Mark Drakeford that is very clear. The FM of Wales has shown he can work with other parties (not the Tories like Sarwar) & stand up for everyone in Wales. The FM even speaks Welsh. Sarwar is just another millionaire Labour British nationalist.
@MarkDrakeford
Have you noticed how BBC Scotland supports all England’s shit ideas (Iraq War, Privatisation, Brexit, Austerity, Trident) as ‘world-beating’ but they describe a bottle return scheme is “controversial” & will end the world as we know it?
#bbcgms
My advice to any politician in the Scottish Govt would be to refuse to cooperate with BBC Scotland or the Unionist MSM, but agree to be interviewed by every reputable news organisation like Channel4 News, RTE, CNN, Irish Times, NYT, France24 & other European news agencies.
16000 people in England weren’t followed up by Test&Trace in error who had close contact but
@BBCScotlandNews
Glen Campbell raises the case of *one* guy contacted *possibly* in error. My god what kind of idiocy is this?
#FMDailyBriefing
Why has

censored out Johnson’s remark that “capitalism and greed” got ‘us’ through the pandemic? Very revealing that they don’t want you to know that his mask slipped yet again. All we’re getting is yet more toxicity towards Nicola Sturgeon. We see you, never forget
