BBC Scotland luminaries all have near identical Bio's it's uncanny.

Ethical vacuums
Unscrupulous

Well done Nicola Sturgeon
@NicolaSturgeon
in what was not an enquiry but a cynical attempt at character assassination.
Dealt with restraint and self disciple.
They fear you! and rightly so.
Be in no doubt you have the respect, support and goodwill of the public.
Deepest respect
Covid Enquiry 31/1/24 Nicola Sturgeon finished.
Summary: Brutal and bordering on highly offensive innuendo, unfounded accusations and presumptions by the KC. Tabloid in tone not relating to fact and an attempt to destroy NS reputation.
This is going to backfire on the Unionists
Scottish Water's close to being privatized by the UK Gov. The Internal Market Bill gives them that power to legislate directly.
SNP should state. On Independence if it's privatized it will be taken back into public ownership without compensation.
That will scupper the share issue
Ian Murray MP made a profound statement on SKY
“We won’t give them another referendum”.
We: The Unionist Establishment
Won't: Refusal
Give: The result of the power of veto
Them: Oh! that's us Scot's
The Unionist mindset laid bare
@IanMurrayMP
Biden ends his Presidential Statement
'Will see you in SCOTLAND'
Measured and aimed not only to send a message to the UK Government but to Scotland - got your back.
Suspect more words of support during COP26 not only from the USA but other COP26 members.
Rishi Sunak at PMQ could not bring himself to associate himself with Stephen Flynn's tribute to Winnie Ewing and Craig Brown.
Can't be seen to be associated with anybody remotely involved in being proud to be Scottish.
Pitiful, Spiteful, Bitter, and all rather pathetic.
Police Scotland
@PoliceScotland
Subject: Live Police investigation into SNP finances.
I wish to report this act of Contempt of Court that prejudices the investigation and any court case.
It is unlikely any juror should there be a court case would be unaware of this PR stunt.
Here's a clip from the Scottish Labour video that makes all kinds of wild claims about the SNP. This has to be one of the most ill-advised political videos we've ever seen. Did they get permission from BBC Scotland to use news clips featuring Sarah Smith and Glenn Campbell?
Nicola Sturgeon just been interviewed on SKY
Absolutely nailed it.
Loved the 'Can't speak for Douglas Ross maybe track him down and ask him onto your programe to comment'
Ooooft !
Kate Forbes
In over 50 years support for Independence since the days of Dr Robert McIntyre I have witnessed a lot.
The last 48 hours since Kate Forbes put her name forward is unprecedented in it's vitriol.
The Press and Journalists were pre-primed to trash her campaign.
By Who?
The concerted attack on Nicola Sturgeon has been long in the planning and the coordination, integration, timetabled delivery of this offensive can only come from in-depth planning and awareness of certain events.
1/
Every Unionist argument being turned back on them is a joy to behold.
The old faithful's cut and pasted from Better Together and trotted are now seen as an opportunity by the Independence movement to discredit their argument on their timelines and threads.
Examples like
Wow ! Kamila Harris. 'No one country can say to another you can't have the system of government you want.
The quotes from the International Order regarding the freedom of countries to decide their own future are going to haunt the Unionists wanting to deny the same to Scotland
@Lowkey0nline
Importantly Prince Andrew is now untouchable by the world's law enforcement agencies.
This appointment is no accident its a

James Cook
@BBCJamesCook
Would you care to comment on the editorial line you took with Nicola Sturgeon compared to the editorial line taken regarding the BBC presenter?
It is now a matter of not only yours but BBC Scotland's flexibility applied to the corporation's guidelines.
BBC: 'People not charged with a crime are entitled to privacy. Speculation is unwise and could damage an innocent person's reputation for life.'
Care to explain this then?
#BBCscandal
#bbcpresenter
Wow! Covid Enquiry 31/1/24 14.29hrs
KC: Scottish Government were asleep at the wheel - werent they?
NS: No
Outrageous and unfounded question by the KC.
He is rattled that he is not making cut through to damage Nicola Sturgeon's reputation because it's getting evident its his aim
That arsehole SKY's Matthews asked should Scottish Gov follow Gavin Williamson & insist University's should give a refund on fees due to no face to face lectures
Answer: There are no university fees in Scotland
Talk about getting your arse handed back to you on a plate on live TV
@carolvorders
Suprised at you Carol.
Nicola Sturgeon didn’t keep WhatsApp messages the Scottish Government recorded OFFICIAL RECORDS.
Would have liked to think you would have verified and cross-checked the facts in particular since the smear originated at BBC Scotland

You have just stated that Scotland would have to join the Euro.
No EU member can be forced to use the Euro as shown by Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Hungary, Poland, Romania, and Sweden who don't.
By the way how many listeners do GMS get?
Wonder why BBC did not have a journalist outside Jeffrey Donaldson's house to report on the developments today and a line-up of opposition party journalists in the studio to analysis the political repercussions.
UK security services suspected of bugging SNP politicians in the House of Commons.
UK Press and Broadcasters in receipt of the suspected recording have refused to deny that the UK Security Services were involved and were the source.
Tribute to Paul Hutcheon the Daily Record Editor.
It takes an individual with determination, drive, imagination and a steely unwavering resolve in their editorial control of a newspaper to achieve a 15% drop in circulation in 1 Year.
Magnificent achievement keep up the good work
Amazing (not) BBC publish and article regarding a campaign for Baby Boxes in England. Quote country's that do but exclude 'Scotland'
Can't have a Scotland positive slant, can we!
Utterly shameless

Kirsty Wark was outmatched by Aamer Anwar.
She was not carrying out an interview it was trying to get a gotcha moment for the Union cause.
Aamer turned the tables on her and made her look what she is - an establishment drone
“The Independence cause is not owned by any 1 party, nor do today’s events take away from the fact that many are sick of being dictated to by Westminster-It’s not about the SNP, Nicola or Alex, independence is about the future of our country,our children’s future”🏴

Labour calls for Jason Leitch to be sacked as Clinical Director
Scottish Government must robustly support Jason Leitch and other government advisors that have been on the receiving end of cynical Unionist Party and Scottish Press and Broadcaster vitriol that's unprecedented
WO: David, let me make this abundantly clear to the BBC, yourself and everybody else in the UK and the World. The Scotland squad's here representing Scotland and the Scottish people and nobody else.
DC Purple with rage was obviously not the messaging BBC wanted.
Was so proud
This is appalling from the British Armed Forces.
What on earth were the troops and the officers in charge thinking. The resulting messaging projected to the public cannot be undone.
Stephen Montgomery - Scottish Hospitality Group
Just been on BBC Radio Scotland
Stephen Montgomery owns the 9 Bedroom Townhead Hotel in Lockerbie (now closed)

It is not a trade body but a website for a hotel he has closed

5 things we learnt from the Covid Enquiry Scotland
1. BBC Scotland exposed as untrustworthy
2. Press and Broadcasters ridiculed
3. Covid Enquiry reputation trashed
4. Scottish people saw through the bullshit
5. Nicola Sturgeon shown as principled
BBC Question Time is from Glasgow on the 21st February.
You can be sure the audience will be rammed with the Unionists, Unionist pure of the pure selected from 'The Kaye Adams Big Bumper Union Jack Book of Reliable Unionists' Platinum members section.

Covid Enquiry 1/2/24 Alistair Jack
All very chummy between the KC and Jack.
Total lack of the combative, aggressive line of questioning.
Covid Enquiry is loosing its credibility in Scotland
So
Colin Beattie SNP Treasurer arrested.
Something does not ring true about these arrests, timings, media tipped off and all run the story at the identical time.
James O’Brien LBC on the SNP Gaza Motion / Hoyle labour stitch up.
'SNP sour grapes'
He is just another of the London metropolitan elite pontificating on a subject he hasn't a clue about, namely Scotland
That's it then.
The UK is not a democracy
The mandate of the Scottish People means nothing
The Scottish People are not Sovereign
The Treaty of Union has been broken
The Rubicon has been crossed the dye is cast we live in an Autocracy
@KayBurley
@NicolaSturgeon
Well Kay from the replies you have had to this post.
I hope you are now informed about the reasons why Nicola Sturgeon is at COP27
In the future please do some basic journalistic research before posting about Scotland and Nicola Sturgeon.
Shoddy journalism from you - not good

The Scottish Press and Broadcasters and UK Unionist Establishment are having a Friday 'Oh fuck moment' as the reality hits that their long planned bring down of Nicola Sturgeon, SNP, Independence movement has backfired.
So Niall Paterson of SKY got caught off camera by Ian Blackford saying ' I ( Niall Paterson ) am going to give him ( Ian Blackford ) a kicking.
@skynewsniall
NP not happy being called out on air !
Tough.
Orange Walk Stonehaven. If they go ahead despite being refused permission. Then the police have to intervene, otherwise any council decision in future will be ignored.
Daily Mail has a 'Secret' recording of an SNP meeting.
No independence supporter with give them a sheet of used toilet paper.
This leak can only have come from bugging the meeting room.
Now that is either the UK Secret Services or the Newspaper.
Turn it back on them
Which is it ?
Smart move by the SNP/Greens.
Trumping the UK Governments Supreme Court Appeal option taking the timing of that out their hands
If it finds against a Referendum the General election becomes one as a backstop.
That puts the Unionist Party's on the spot.
They have played a blinder
Jason Leitch a Tribute
This caring compassionate and humane medical professional was trusted and respected by the public in Scotland during and after the Covid Pandemic.
His communication skills got the message across and saved countless lives despite a politically motivated MSM
@jackiebmsp
Energy is a reserved matter for Westminster.
You campaigned, voted for it and as a Unionist believe it's in Scotland's best interests that that power remains there.
It's what being a Unionist is all about - Your Union - Your Problem - You believe in it - You own it.
Done with replying to the likes of Fraser, Massie, Daisley, Gordon, Foulkes, Kerr's tweets
Provocative for a reason to get clickbait.
If the independence movement ignored them and posted the case for Independence instead they'd get no replies
That's more damaging than a reply
The SNP's Keith Brown had BBC Scotland's GMS Gary Robertson's gas at a peep
Robertson tried to talk over him and got put in his place and never tried it again. Points put across that had had a news blackout imposed and he had no counter
This should be the standard robust approach
BBC Scotland despises Scotland they loath it with a passion in every second of their output.
It's Nationhood, It's Name, It's Land, It's People, It's National identity they look down on with utter contempt.
Anything that shows Scotland in a good light is an anathema to them

For some reason have declined to make a post commenting on the latest poll (STV) one of a few post Supreme Court ruling showing a majority support Scottish Independence.
The silence is deafening
Scottish Hospitality Group is the website of a 9 Bedroom Hotel in Lockerby
Owned by Stephen Montgomery whos twitter profile refers Hitler to Nicola Sturgeon
Broadcasters are careful not to mention these facts.
Their motives why are plain for all to see.
Remind them when their on.
Lot being made of the SNP not holding a referendum in the last 7 years. Reason is blindingly obvious.
2014-2017. Referendum weary.
2017-2019. Polls indicated the voters wanted to wait to see what the BREXIT deal was.
2020-Now. Covid.
Had there been a referendum we would have lost
@carolvorders
Hopefully you will now look (as the Scottish People do) that anything produced by BBC - BBC Scotland regarding Scottish Independence - SNP - Nicola Sturgeon as being from an unreliable and untrustworthy source.
Takes a big person to say they were wrong.
Lesson learned I hope
@GaryLineker
What has upset the Right Wing UK Establishment was that your post was bang on the money. That impermanence from who they see as an uppity pleb that has got above his station in the great scheme of things and was needed to know his place
Respect for standing up for your principles
UK Supreme Court Ruling on a Scottish Referendum.
The decision is not as cut and dried as a lot of people think.
These judges involved will be well aware of the historic repercussions and the set of events it then puts into play with no rolling back on their ruling
That's my complaint lodged at Police Scotland.
Regulations state; Police ID Numbers. 'All officers will be provided with a collar number which is also their warrant number'
These 2 are either not police officers (an offence)
Or
Evidence obtained in raid inadmissible in court
If I was an officer in Police Scotland dissatisfied with the conduct of the force , i’d speak up !Of course that assumes that any Police Scotland officers are involved in this charade !Do you see any ID numbers ?Who r they ? Is that evidence ? Who knows !
The SNP were formed 90 years ago today.
No big business or trade union backing therefore no vested interests to influence policy.
Formed by the people for the people surviving financially hand to mouth.
It is an extraordinary achievement to be the largest party in Scotland
England gets its water from underground aquifers it's drying up
They have only one place to go for it - Scotland
That is why the Internal Market Bill empowers Westminster to overrule Holyrood and privatize Scottish Water.
The reasoning for the timing and theatre of the arrest of Peter Murrell and the raid on the Murrells house.
Was not only to discredit Peter Murrell the SNP and the Independence movement these are bonuses.
The big prize is Nicola Sturgeon and her media presence on the world stage
Tom Gordon at the Herald shredded his credibility and his editorial line with this poll
How would you vote in a Scottish independence referendum?
Yes - I would vote in favour of Scottish independence
88%
No - I would vote against Scottish independence
12%
Total votes: 18384
One of my favourite TV moments was when BBC Sports David Coleman was doing his first interview with Willie Ormond after the Scotland Squad arrived in West Germany for the 1974 World Cup.
It went like this.

#NotScotlandsKing
The monarch of Scotland is made not crowned.
It is done by the proclamation and approval of the Sovereign People of Scotland.
That is why the title is King / Queen of Scots - Not! Scotland.
Therefore the ritual at St Giles today is invalid and not legitimate.
Daily Record report.
'Police in SNP forgery probe amid claims signatures were falsified on documents'
Either the Record are making this up.
Or they have a Police Scotland source within the 'Operation Branchform' investigation team.
Either way Scottish Police compromised.
If Scottish Police are going to bring any charges against the SNP it will be when it will cause the most political damage to the Party.
Therefore if there are charges they will be during the Rutherglen and Hamilton West By Election.
If there aren't any we know the answer
Glenn Campbell
Born Islay 1976
Went to University of Glasgow but what he studied or if he qualified is unknown.
Scot Radio when he joined unknown but got an award in 1999
BBC Scotland 2001 climbing the sycophantic unionist pole
Talentless chancer with no life experience
The Scottish Government are rightly exhausting all the democratic and legal avenues available in carrying out the democratic will of the people.
If as many suspect it is unsuccessful then it moves to the international stage taking it out of the UK's control.
Important Precedent
Alistair Campbell on SKY Kay Burley show 8.54am
Ended the interview ripping the media apart and he did not miss them or Kay Burley she was visibly shaken and straight onto adverts.
Worth watching.
Looks like the Presiding Officer is finding out who instigated the budget leak. Cannot see the SNP or the Greens doing the leak it makes no political sense do it and in particular to BBC Scotland of all outlets.
The Unionists and BBC Scotland are up to their necks in this.
With Peter Murrell and Nicola Sturgeon bowing out of front line SNP leadership.
As night follows day ALBA and Wing's will find a new hate figure to justify their existence.
It will be the new leader whoever it is.
Beware of Salmond & Campbell bearing gifts and hand of friendship
Scottish water
Quality tested every 2 mins on average it's “the most tested water in the world”, according to Scottish Water's chief scientist Elise Cartmell it's the highest quality it has ever been 99.91% of tests taken at customers' taps complying with strict regulatory std's
Martin Geissler on GMS has had a disaster interview with Nicola Sturgeon.
Ending with. (NS to GS) So the listeners can be in no doubt I asked you to provide the proof to your statement. You didn't so listeners can take it you can't.
You can bet that won't be broadcast again.
Jean Freeman has played a blinder all through the pandemic. But the interview last night with Nick Robinson was a masterstroke.
Mistakes were made but based on the best judgement at the time.
Suspect she told them she has the comparisons.
BBC Scotland had nowhere to go on it !
SNP and the Press and Broadcasters.
For Scottish Self Determination to be achieved the SNP have to face the fact that every Newspaper and Broadcaster are Unionist and they ain't going to change.
Therefore treat them the same way as Unionist Party's - as opponents.

TV drop of of 33% of viewers since 2014

What a condescending, patronizing colonial mindset.
Do keep it up as it will just drive more people to support independence.

Every trap set turned back on the questionnaire.
Trevor Philips was near greeting at the end of the interview,
There is only one public utility left the UK Government can sell.
It would bring in £20 billion+ in one swoop.
Scottish Water.
All justified as the only way to solve the water crisis in England due in 20 years and that means a UK water grid.
The Internal Market Bill enables this.
The reason BBC - BBC Scotland have ignored this article about the UCI Cycling World Championships is this statement.
'The excitement and atmosphere generated reinforces Scotland’s status as a world-class major event destination'
BBC Scotland advise that the Scottish bottle return scheme is controversial therefore the bottle / can return schemes in
Croatia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Malta, Norway, Lithuania are controversial as well.
Am sure they will be interested to find out why
Now a message to my friends in the resistance.
The Vital Spark sails on the tide.
Repeat
The Vital Spark sails on the tide.
Await further message from home port
The UK Unionist Establishment know if they lose this they lose the Union.
This is a media construct selling the propaganda of a minority as a majority.
Stand firm, our cause is just and we will prevail
On BBC Scotland's 'Controversial' Sunday Show their 'Controversial presenter Martin Geissler made this 'Controversial' statement regarding BBC Scotland understanding of devolution.

This is an example of why I think that Nicola Sturgeon and John Swinney for that matter unconstrained by the limits imposed on them by their government positions.
Are going to be even more formidable campaigners for independence and I hope a lot more candid with the MSM
