@msm_monitor The tv license was smoke and mirrors to pretend that BBC is publicly funded free media, when it is in fact a state-funded state-broadcaster. Happy to see them squirm as the mask slips.
@msm_monitor There has clearly been an uptick in stories in the papers about events going on within Scottish councils recently. MSM in this country is not free media, they coordinate their focus with establishment parties. Some dystopian chummyness between UK journalism and UK politics.
@msm_monitor Jackie Baillie must be the most quoted politician in Scotland by a huge margin. A random Labour MSP gets more airtime than the first minister. She obviously has a direct line to the Scottish MSM purely to allow attack lines to be pushed.
@msm_monitor It still has influence among the old. It might not make new Lab/Tory voters, but it stops their current voters from leaving. The youth are far better informed, which naturally has them disliking Westminster. Hence the current attempt to force state-propaganda news on youtube.
@msm_monitor They purged the left from Labour. The only people remaining are the neoliberals. Greedy, self-serving liars who want to sell us all out for their rich London chums. It's not just a lack of talent, they are entirely a party of grubby, class-traitor, wannabe tories in red ties.
@StephenFlynnSNP The UK government did a study 25years ago, they said that an independent Scotland would be "embarrassingly wealthy". Today it is: "Britons suffer sharpest drop in wealth of any developed nation". The UK is a sinking ship. Independence could lift us out of this mess.
@pauleholden@bbcnickrobinson BBC news is UK state propaganda. This interview was a puff piece to spread disinformation about the corruption at play within Westminster. BBC cannot be trusted regarding politics. It is failing the people of this country.
@msm_monitor Privatisation is working as intended, no political complaints because this is want they want for healthcare in the UK. They only make it political in Scotland because we have far less privatisation, our NHS is better, and that embarrasses the WM health-for-profit agenda.
@msm_monitor Scotland produces more than it needs. We need storage and energy using industries. London wants us to build nuclear and cables so the power can be taken and used down south to promote industry growth in england. Shanks is a traitor.
@msm_monitor They've been attacking the reputation of our nhs for years and people still know SNHS is the best in the UK. Proof BBC Scotland disinformation has limited effect. Hopefully this current attack on devolution is another wasted effort where the facts win out.
If Scotland had a genuine national broadcaster then that broadcaster would cover the Glasgow Commonwealth Games. The fact that the BBC is refusing to broadcast the event is proof that it isn't Scottish in any way. It's English. It would *not* have ignored a Manchester Games.
Astonishing that Andy Burnham's threat to scrap the Barnett Formula has been completely ignored by BBC Scotland but has been picked up by BBC Wales who've challenged Burnham. What is BBC Scotland actually for? It regularly ignores HUGE political stories.

@msm_monitor the deposit return scheme was sabotaged using massive over reach from westminster. Power devolved can be taken back at a whim for the pettiest reasons. WM can't be trusted with devolution. Only independence secures our sovereignty.
