How the BBC & BBC Scotland in particular, smeared Nicola Sturgeon, to discredit her & destroy the Scottish independence movement. That this was done during a global pandemic, undermining the public health messaging in Scotland, is shocking & a new low for the state broadcaster

How i wish I kept the receipts of all the unionist parties giving nicola stick when she tried to bring In measures before Downing Street okayed them. The times they intimated dictatorial behaviour when just trying to keep us all safer. The way they politicised the briefings and had them cancelled.

Much of that cost comes from paying Conservative Party donors like Graham King, who have been making millions out of those asylum hotels.
It looks like the Tories were operating another VIP lane.

Anyone who’s been paying any attention knows he’s a traitor.

I did some work with Guardian journalists investigating Facebook during the 2019 general election (Johnson vs Corbyn for shorthand). They were interested online attack ads, probably the first time we’d been exposed to them in the UK. They’ve been squirrelling away at Facebook for a long time.
