Sarwar's QEU hospital smears are a perfect illustration of the corrupt way BBC Scotland reports 'news'. All it required for the smears to be circulated was for Sarwar to repeat them. No evidence was required.
You see this pattern repeat again and again on BBC Scotland. The Hate Crime Bill was going to cause the police to go into meltdown. It never happened. The recent claim of a mass exodus of junior doctors to Australia will also never happen.
The station isn't a news provider, it's a narrative creator. It circulates political messages.

@Labour_Douglas Places of worship should be supported by their congregations
Anything else ?
English
Despite being notified of the UK Government's changes to the Places of Worship Renewal Fund over a year ago, Scottish Gov hasn't presented an equivalent.
I've signed a joint letter to the FM on behalf of places of worship in West Dunbartonshire to ask how they will be supported.

@ScottishLabour The last time "Scottish" Labour were in power you literally broke the schools, literally, the buildings were collapsing and we are STILL paying the PFI bill. Now, back to your blatant lies to the Waspi women, proud of yourselves?

"He did it again for a second time. I pushed him a second time, and I think the second time he got off his bike and kicked the crap outta me." 1ST Video/ TMZ

Irish teacher Enoch Burke claims his bank account was frozen after refusing to use they/them pronouns for a student: “My account is frozen, I can’t access my money, didn’t receive any notice and had €40,000 in the bank.
Do you support him suing the bank?
A. Hell yes
B. No

@OwenMantyla @implausibleblog Unless you live and vote in Scotland then you have no right to anything
English
@implausibleblog Who's suggesting denying it? If that is their choice so be it. But English people have every right to oppose that as the UK breaking up will make us ALL poorer, and nothing can be achieved by seperatism that can't be achieved by devolution. How is supporting nationalism 'better?'

Strange comment by Sophy Ridge suggesting that Zack Polanski is the polar opposite on the far left, to Tommy Robinson on the far right
The framing is surreal, as if love, kindness and hope is in any way similar to hate and division
At least LibDem's Lisa Smart had the integrity to say,
"I can't think of anything particularly divisive that would sit him alongside Tommy Robinson"
What Polanski has done is show that there are other, better ways of doing things
You may not agree with everything he might say, but then why aren't we asked the same question about whether people agree with everything other politicians say?
Find the things you have in common and support one another
Most of all, work together to protect society from the populist far right who exploit people's frustrations and grievances to divide, and cause harm to society
Conservative austerity broke the country and Labour's slightly lesser austerity isn't enough to fix things
Our country needs a better direction, and at the very least it can be argued that Zack Polanski is driving that agenda

@implausibleblog @OwenMantyla "who are we in England to deny them that?" Scotland already voted no. The Scottish people denied the SNP communists of their fallacy. Keep England out of it.

@DavidsonAl43067 @implausibleblog @OwenMantyla Odd that there's a majority of MSPs currently representing parties who do want independence
Latest polls show there is likely to be even more in the next parliament
What you're saying sounds like shite

@implausibleblog @OwenMantyla As a Lib Dem voter living in Scotland I can tell you that the people of Scotland do not want independence.

Feel free to circulate folks.
BBC Scotland knew as far back as January 23rd that Anas Sarwar's QEU Hospital smear attacks on senior SNP figures were bogus and not backed up with any evidence. Reporter Lorna Gordon was slowly erased from BBC Scotland coverage that day.
MSM Monitor@msm_monitor
Something very suspicious went on on Friday, January 23rd at BBC Scotland with its coverage of the Hospital Inquiry final submissions. At 12:00 on Lunchtime Live Lorna Gordon summarises KC Fred Mackintosh's comments exonerating the Scottish Govt. This is contained in news bulletins. At 13:30 Lorna Gordon appears on lunchtime Reporting Scotland and again summarises KC Fred Mackintosh's comments exonerating the Scottish Govt. At 13:30 Anas Sarwar holds a press conference where Nicola Sturgeon is accused of not telling the truth about what she knows. On Newsdrive at 4pm the narrative begins to change. Fred Mackintosh's comments are missing from a recording of Lorna Gordon's earlier radio summary, although two news bulletins still mention them. The major difference is that Lorna Gordon is now replaced by Lisa Summers as lead reporter. Summers fails to mention KC Fred Mackintosh's comments exonerating the Scottish Govt. The reporter chooses other comments from the KC to summarise. At six thirty that evening on Reporting Scotland Lorna Gordon and her earlier reporting is nowhere to be seen. The programme narrative is led by a smear attack on Nicola Sturgeon from Sarwar's press conference implying the former FM is not telling the truth. Lisa Summers makes no mention of the comments by KC Fred Mackintosh that significantly undermine the smear and thus would turn the political narrative on its head. At 19:32 an article appears at the top of the BBC Scotland news page headlined 'Nicola Sturgeon denies using pressure to open Glasgow hospital early'. The article contains no mention of Fred Mackintosh's key comments. This does not look good. It looks like clear corruption.
English
Presumably @BBCScotlandNews will be ditching the broadcast they planned this evening allowing Anas Sarwar to repeat his smears even though they've been proven to be false.
Or will they just broadcast a pack of lies and apologise when they're forced to?
MSM Monitor@msm_monitor
Radio Scotland Breakfast is employing another blackout of a story damaging to Scottish Labour. The QEU inquiry story, exposing Anas Sarwar's smears against SNP ministers as fake, broke yesterday just after 4pm. It's missing from Geissler & Maciver's programme this morning. Sarwar's smears were indulged by BBC Scotland despite having no evidence to back them up. His attacks and accusations led morning and evening news bulletins for weeks. This latest development should dominate Radio Scotland Breakfast in the same manner, not be hidden so as to protect Sarwar.

I mean, what can you say at this point?
- Scottish conference decisions effectively overruled
- We will not run candidates because of HQ intransigence
- Decisions made for Scotland made in London by a handful of people
Open contempt for Scottish members.
