@passatlad43 @theSNP Ask AI about Health powers to limit essential food prices - AI is only as good as the question asked & it's programming - just because AI says something doesn't necessarily make it true

@galledin2 @theSNP @Brown666W Eh when did we not rely on imports? New drilling will not change that as there's no requirement to sell oil & gas extracted in UK waters on the UK market.

@msm_monitor & o FB post to put queries to Anas Sarwar either at least not at 09:10, 1st call taken at 09:12, so much for have your say. Laura was given multiple opportunities to ask about Grangemouth and Mossmorran by the answers Anas Sarwar gave either declined to take them or couldn't see

No surprise that Anas Sarwar got the very weak Laura Maciver for his campaign interview on Radio BritNat Breakfast. We've seen this before. Maciver is more often than not the interviewer assigned to Labour *because* she's so soft. Some decent questions this morning but bullied by Sarwar who was allowed to avoid answering and interview himself too many times ... "Do I think? ... Do I want?". Sarwar, incidentally, was just as awful. He sounded desperate and was clearly making stuff up on the hoof. Not a good interview for either of them. Maciver's limitations exposed again and Sarwar's shallowness exposed again.

#bbcaq why did the any questions presenter continually give Douglas Alexander an out? She also wanted short answers from The Green and the SNP reps pointing out been asked twice, never asked the others to be short, never went back to Mr Alexander to get him to answer avoided ?

@msm_monitor Heard most of it, allowed to deflect in the phone in - earlier with Martin Guissler. The time spent on 2 child cap with s/r guy with teaching wife talking about impact on Child Benefit, only when caller came back in was it clarified this is UK reserved.

The Radio BritNat phone-in has Scottish Tory leader Russell Findlay on this morning. First caller asks him about the recent looting that took place in an M&S in London. Findlay goes on a rant about the SNP decriminalising shoplifting. You genuinely couldn't make this up.

@HJoyceGender x.com/i/status/20390… Just whoa. Really this is Ireland at Easter when they celebrate Jesus standing up to authority & paying the ultimate price. Speak Truth....& Go to Jail
Enoch Burke@EnochBurke

BREAKING: Enoch Burke’s mother and sister arrested and jailed Martina and Ammi Burke were arrested by Gardaí today at Castlerea Prison after visiting jailed schoolteacher Enoch Burke, their son and brother. Judge Brian Cregan sentenced them to two weeks in prison after they spoke out against his lies and unlawful actions in the case of Enoch Burke. Martina and Ammi Burke had been teaching in Castlebar this morning before travelling to Castlerea for their scheduled visit at 2.15pm. As they left the prison after concluding the visit, Gardaí were waiting outside to arrest them. Lies have been told from the bench since September 2022 when Enoch Burke was first taken from his teaching post at Wilson’s Hospital School and thrown into a jail cell. He refused to call a student by a new name and the “they” pronoun. He was subsequently suspended and has now spent over 600 days in prison. Ireland’s church leaders have maintained a treacherous silence on this issue. Archbishops Eamon Martin and John McDowell speak frequently about battlefields far away - Gaza, Ukraine, the Middle East - but are silent on the battlefields in the schools of Ireland, on their own doorstep. Children in the classroom are being educated in every form of sexual perversion. Martina and Ammi Burke have now been sent to Mountjoy Women’s Prison because they refused to be silent in the face of gross injustice from the bench. Parents, rise up and speak out for your sons and your daughters.

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.

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.

@BBCRadioScot oh come on @Laura you let @DouglasAlexanderMP away with it - he brought up waste with Ferry funds. You didn't point out UK Govt waste with Channel Tunnel no rail link to Euro central, HS2. What about Labour & Tory voting down A9 upgrade in favour of Edinburgh Trams

@msm_monitor If you are walking in on spec. You are not going to an appointment. Both the media and politicians including the SNP need to say what is actually in the document & not the spin around appointments which wasn't in the document.

Why is BBC Verify being deployed when there is, as yet, no data available with which to verify the target? This is why the Scottish Govt has set up a pilot to gather data and test the viability of walk-in Clinics. The public, once again, is being misled by the BBC.

Imagine if @scotgov had spent this gigantic sum of tax-payers’ money on health, education, and any number of other useful things, instead of spending it on trying to destroy women’s rights.
Trina@hightreebud

@ForWomenScot £766,498.80 spent by @scotgov on the two FWS judicial reviews. Add in the costs of challenging the s35 order and the Scottish Government has spent a total of £1,136,973.04 in failed attempts to remove women's rights from law. gov.scot/publications/g…

‘For a decade, the British police have harassed me for expressing views that the majority of the public share.’ Graham Linehan gives evidence to the US congress, adding ‘we have simply been punished for objecting to fashionable yet incoherent orthodoxies.’

I doff my cap to you, Mike. I did see some areas (during a diversion) where there were purple bags waiting to be collected. Presumed it was locals like yourself doing their bit. Someone else said it’s not permitted on A roads, but I have no idea. I think we should bring back a massively funded Keep Britain Clean campaign again. Worked the first time.

The roads and byways of this country should not look like the A14 through Suffolk and Cambridgeshire. Disgracefully filthy, strewn with rubbish and utterly neglected. I’ve never seen anything like it. Britain isn’t even a middling power these days. Many third-world countries do better.
