Offord's astroturfing Vote No Borders campaign was one of the BBC's blatant attempts to influence the outcome of the 2014 indyref. It was given a full 10 minutes on the 6 o clock news & falsely presented as a grassroots campaign while the BBC ignored genuine grassroots initiatives on the Yes side.

It doesn't matter what language you speak at home, or on your first day at school - if you live in Glasgow, Glasgow is your home. Farage and co think multilingualism is somehow a bad thing. I know, firsthand, that it's a strength.

Westminster Governments have siphoned off hundreds of billions of pounds in oil revenues from our corner of Scotland, yet in our hour of need Labour has abandoned Aberdeen & the north east.

Starmer, Reeves & Miliband must understand that the fight for fairness isn’t over.

“Oh, thank you, imperial master. Grovelling thanks for sharing your hard-earned cash.” Did Rachel Reeves expect this when she announced some of Scotland's taxes will be sent back north? Actually that budget pop at the SNP is a sure sign of Labour nerves.

1) Start the worst European war since 1945 and commit every imaginable war crime
2) Decide how you want to be rewarded for your aggression
3) Leak the list of your desiderata to the US press
4) Wait for the US president to enforce your wish list on your victim.

Labour were willing to save the Scunthorpe steel works, but not Grangemouth or Mossmorran & their Energy Profits Levy is destroying investment, livelihoods & jobs in Aberdeen & the north east.

Scotland's Missing Forests 120k views in a week. Wonder if Scotgov gets the message. Barren-looking land, even overgrazed & burnt grouse moors, can support natural woodland & biodiversity. This is the story of two pals who went where politicians fear to tread www.youtube.com/watch?v=MuTV...

If Trump is seriously suing the BBC for a billion dollars for defamation of character, based on one piece of editing, then the people of Scotland should be suing them for £50 trillion, for decades of deceit, manipulation, propaganda, dumbing down, & outright lies about Scotland's wealth & resources.
During the Indyref1 campaign bbc anti-independence lies and propaganda caused a diplomatic incident 🇱🇺

Immigration is good for us. This may be Germany, but I'm sure you could make something similar about the UK.
In case you missed it ...
The largest number of foreign doctors working in the German health sector are now Syrians who came to Germany as refugees 10 years ago.
