What an indictment of #BBCScotland & the #BBC generally. Scotland's media, broadcast & print, do not exactly champion & celebrate our heroes & heroines?
Rishi Sunak wants to claim "cancel culture" is "threatening our freedom." But what abt the growing authoritarianism & weaponised, dehumanising, victim blaming language of the right from asylum to welfare & mental health? That diminishes "our freedoms".

Trump as cult leader. They 'see themselves as unique, chosen, &, in some cases, divine; they create a clear division between their group (the “chosen” ones) & the out group (the “enemy”). Cult leaders dehumanize the other, portraying them as inferior or inhuman (“vermin”).'

Many of us rightly complain abt the Londoncentric nature of the UK. Here is the Edinburghcentric version of Scotland thinking that political power & authority is abt our capital city rather than ALL of Scotland & its people.

#OTD 40 years ago: 30 April 1984: The Blue Nile's first album 'A Walk Across the Rooftop' released. Bought this on the day it came out. Was stunned by its sublime melodies, spaces & Paul Buchanan's vocals. Cover shot at Hermon Baptist Church, corner of Cathcart & Aitkenhead Road.
If you think this is true of some in the SNP which it is then it is also true of some who are pro-union. Scottish politics requires less tribalism, name calling & labelling across the political spectrum: pro & anti-indy, agnostic, left, right & centre.

BBC have several times got the 28 day deadline to elect a new First Minister WRONG: on BBC 6pm news, Newsnight, this morning. Seems the BBC as a news platform after 25 years of Scottish devolution cannot get the basics right abt our politics.

BBC Political Editor Chris Mason parachutes into Scottish politics without doing his homework. The crisis of the SNP hasn't come out of nowhere but been building since the end of the Sturgeon era. And BBC Scotland does have a Political Editor. #r4today #BBCNews
Lots of instant commentary out today eagerly burying Scottish independence. FACT CHECK: Support for Scottish independence on average over the past 10 years since the 2014 indyref has been higher not lower than it was in 2014. And that is true today.
Nominations for the SNP leadership are now open. Details of how to apply laid out below.

.@KirstyWark says to the SNP's Keith Brown: "If you don't have a leader in 28 days you are heading for an election." This is 100% WRONG. The clock starts ticking from the day a First Minister has resigned; laid out in the Scotland Act 1998. Yousaf is still in post.#BBC #Newsnight
Reform UK (who are not a real political party) deputy leader @benhabib6 thinks his own ethnicity gives him a pass to engage in blatantly racist & offensive behaviour. A week ago he was advocating letting folk drown in the channel. Maybe @TiceRichard should remove him.
This is true of ALL politics: Scottish & UK: "Where have our manners gone? It’s so ugly." We can criticise & oppose people & remember our common humanity.

Here are the Labour UK PMs & Scots & Welsh FMs who changed inbetween elections without a new election: UK: Jim Callaghan and Gordon Brown. Scotland: Henry McLeish and Jack McConnell. Wales: Rhodri Morgan, Carwyn Jones, Mark Drakeford & Vaughan Gething. FAO @AnasSarwar #C4News
Morning TV seemingly involves no shame. Richard Madeley actually asks "if its ever justifiable to steal from supermarkets". Madeley strangely does not answer his own question which he is qualified to do. #GMB
No surprise that SNP social conservatives who are at war with modern Scotland want to label the Scottish Greens "zealots." No time for a return to the politics of dinosaurs.

Who is the change candidate for the SNP? John Swinney is the continuity candidate; Kate Forbes is change but on some issues change at odds with modern Scotland (backed by Fergus Ewing). Can the SNP bring together change, continuity & competence in one candidate? #c4news

@GerryHassan @KirstyWark Indeed, it's factually incorrect. Mr Yousaf has not resigned as FM yet. But she's only saying what others on BBC, STV and Sky News have been saying all day. Ignorance of the Scottish political procedure seems to be endemic.
This is wrong-headed and sends a hell of a message to the people of the Scottish Borders. A clever series producer would have used the location to its advantage, done their research into the complex and singular political landscape down here, and delivered a great programme.
Following First Minister Humza Yousaf’s resignation, Debate Night has been moved to Edinburgh this week Apply here to be part of the audience in a momentous week for Scottish politics: bit.ly/3sILILo #bbcdn
"We don't know who any of then are any more" Richard Madeley and mates competing with themselves to see who can be most ignorant ... x.com/gmb/status/178…
Nominations have opened for the next leader of the SNP after the resignation of the First Minister Humza Yousaf. @susannareid100 asks @Kevin_Maguire and @toryboypierce about what this means for Scottish independence.
Change ‘in what sense’ to ‘by whom’ and it’s clear enough. Why would an English Conservative consider it a success? Why would a staunch unionist consider it a success? But why on earth would a Scottish social democrat — and there’s no shortage — *not* consider it a success?
Genuine question: in what sense can Scottish devolution be considered a success?
25 years ago today a neo-nazi terrorist entered the Admiral Duncan and planted a nail bomb. It was an attack so violent that it’s difficult to comprehend and we remember the victims today. A quarter of a century later and this iconic pub still stands in the heart of Soho 🏳️🌈
Hmm, somehow I think he's being a tad over-optimistic here...
"We've quadrupled in size since my victory in Rochdale." The Workers Party of Britain's George Galloway tells @NickFerrariLBC that 'several Labour MPs, one Lord, and at least a dozen Labour councillors' will shortly defect to his party.
The BBC should get this basic fact right. (There is no ticking clock without an actual resignation from the post, but Yousaf has simply said he will resign in the future once a successor is chosen). Several programmes have said there is a 28 day deadline now.
The bbc news this morning said that after the statement from the first minister yesterday the snp has 28 days from yesterday to fill the vacancy. That is wrong. Yousaf has not stood down as first minister yet.
@mrianleslie There was an overwhelming democratic consensus for it in the 1990s after a divide in the 1970s. That has been sustained/broadened, despite mixed views of performance. The counterfactual of legitimate democratic UK government of Scotland without it would be difficult & unlikely.
That was very poor ill-informed ‘analysis’ on SNP from BBC Political Editor Chris Mason on ‘Today’. Why interview him when BBC has much more informed journalists in Scotland?
Who is this journalist? Some great questioning here by him, especially the question on the missing Bond-villain Hamas lair under Al Shifa that Israel claimed was there, & produced 3D renderings of, but have never actually showed us in real life. Bravo, for this interviewer 👏🏽👇🏽
Beautiful display of journalism. Please watch this absolute gem of an interview. This is what happens when there’s pushback. Zionists become flustered and cry about the line of questioning because they can’t answer the questions.
😂
My Dad hated Paul Daniels; cos he stooged for him at a club gig and PD reneged on the pint he had promised in return. Every time he was on TV, Dad would say “thieving little bastard.” After he died, he amended it to “thieving little bastard - God rest his soul.”
I’ll say this for Humza Yousaf. When I was getting grief over the Rangers liquidation story, and the Oxbridge folk at the BBC were investigating my question on air about liquidation, he was one of the few folk to offer me private support. And I didn’t know the fella from Adam🤷♂️
@GerryHassan Amen Gerry. We don’t need to be soft or shapeless but we all need to be kinder
Top dollar commentator doing his thing. Excellent capital letter vibe also. 👍🏼
• SNP: Cut climate targets. • Greens: Then we have to review the BHA. • SNP: The tail can't wag the dog, kill the BHA. • Greens: Do the maths. • FM: Shit. I resign. • Gender criticals: IT WAS BECAUSE HE SUPPORTED TRANS PEOPLE! Absolute fucking brain worms, the lot of them.
