Scottish alcohol deaths fall and now lowest since 2019 but BBC Scotland employs the notorious 'colonial comparison' to turn it into a negative. Scotland must always be presented as failing, backward and worse than England.

The most damning inditement and most depressing feature of this debilitating union and its damage to our nation.
🇳🇴 Norway’s national wealth fund: £2 trillion. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Scotland’s national wealth fund under Westminster control: £0. Norway has invested its energy wealth for the benefit of current and future generations, helping to support its public finances. Whilst Westminster has squandered this opportunity for Scotland.

For those who voted NO in 2014 because you believed oil was running out, listen to this. Do you feel you were lied to? This is why England won’t allow Scottish independence and you bought the lies with your vote. It’s on your head, fucking morons.

Oh look, English parties congratulating each other over looting Scottish resources.
"Last week I asked the prime minister to stop faffing about. So can I thank him for finally approving the Jackdaw gas field." Kemi Badenoch asks if Labour will scrap the ban on all new oil and gas licences, the PM replies that his government has made a "pragmatic decision."

The UK Covid Inquiry made one glaring mistake. It failed to examine the broadcast media. Public conformity was essential in containing the virus and people were steered by what they heard on TV and Radio. BBC Scotland politicised the pandemic and put thousands of lives at risk. It smeared the FM, misled the public by continually framing Scotland's vaccination programme as failing and regularly undermined guidelines & messaging.

Endless streams of English MPs and English commentators, talking about Scotlands resources. The very same ppl who’ve been relentlessly telling us that Scotland is too poor to be independent, for years.

So to be clear. Unlike in 2014, when it temporarily ran out, Scotland does have vast reserves of oil and gas. The hypocrisy is staggering. The stupidity is terrifying. The talk of 'pragmatism' in a climate catastrophe is astonishing.

Scores of critical incidents declared by English hospitals in the last twelve months and the BBC doesn't politicise a single one. No UK Govt minister is questioned. One Scottish hospital declares a critical incident and Bingo ... BBC BritNat immediately politicises it. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c81d…

The Sovereign Grant is going up by £50 million. That's another £50 million in royal funding, on top of the half a billion we already give them. It's time to scrap the grant, plain and simple. #AbolishTheMonarchy

If Scots had voted Yes to their country in 2014, we would have had no Johnston, no Sunak, no Brexit and no Tory/Labour Austerity. We'd be at the heart of Europe, governing ourselves, an energy powerhouse, attracting jobs and businesses and growing public services #Independence 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
Labour back the Tories most damaging policy in Brexit and continue to suggest it’s to Tories fault. It’s dishonest politics that puts their party and their electoral success ahead of the economic interests of the UK.

BBC Scotland has been throwing haymakers at the SNP ever since Scottish Labour collapsed in May. Glasgow has been caught in the crossfire and now we're seeing education traduced. It's England this and England that. Why are we not England!? Swinney's programme for Govt has been attacked relentlessly. Every known SNP hater, critic, opponent and malcontent has appeared on programmes for sham interviews by presenters who lack the wit or desire to challenge them. The poor? The low paid? Who cares. Maciver, Whyte, Maxwell, Stalker, Geissler, Millar, Irons and the rest serve up a mix of chuckle-head drivel and BritNat bias. The audience is deserting in their droves. Non-payment of the TV licence is surging. Jobs are being shed at Pacific Quay. Sadly too many will be the good guys. The station is a mess and it's of its own making.

Most media in Scotland very selective on when they make comparisons between Scotland and rest of UK. Usually when it makes Scotland look bad. Often misleading. Here are 71 examples of topics where most media rarely, or never, compare Scotland to rest of UK.👇

Anything and everything John Swinney announces is being undermined by the BBC. Supportive voices are either marginalised or having their comments filtered to extract any negatives.
