The colonialists knew this would be the outcome. Of course they did. But that wasn't the point. It's all about getting Swinney to deny wrongdoing because it gives them the headline 'Swinney Denies'. As if there were ever any truth to it in the first place. Job done as far as they are concerned.

The BBC was birthed at the heights of British Empire, and very much designed to inform the subjects of the realm about that world. How should I expect them to report on a project which, by definition, would diminish the powers of the British State? Pat Kane ✍️

They told us we were too poor… while draining us of oil, power, and profit. Jim Eadie lays it out clearly: Scotland was never too small. It was too useful — to a system built to benefit London. From energy to industry, our wealth was siphoned away… while communities were left to crumble.👇
