Don’t we all just love a bit of gossip especially if it’s about a person we don’t like? There’s something built within all of us that responds to the words, ‘did you hear about’.
It’s in our DNA and it’s usually in our DNA to pass it on, sometimes even to embellish it, because we want to believe it.
We love negatives!
We need to train our ears to listen to the words coming out of our mouths!!
We forget that we can destroy a persons life and reputation in minutes founded on what are most likely unthruths….lies!
Gossip is -those unconfirmed pieces of information — and pass them along, spreading what may be “fake news.”
“Fake news”!!
Scotland fell in love with the ‘fake news’ about its own history and Westminster just kept on feeding it for over 300 years!
Gossip, fake news is easier to handle, it has become the norm. Most MPs in London know nothing about Scottish History, they just believe the lie, the gossip!
Facts are much harder to deal with, an honourable person would have to act, not many with that kind of calibre in Westminster and none it or so it would seem amongst Scottish MPs of any colour!
It takes courage and strength to swim against the tide!
Fake news, gossip says we are in an equal Union, facts say we are not in a Union let alone an equal one!
Fake news says all Scottish Seabeds belong to King Charles, facts say we never ceded our territorial waters and Charles in not our King!
I could go on, but you get my drift!
Today’s fake news/gossip goes like this, Freeports and SEZs are God’s answer to all our economic woes, facts tell a very different story.
There will not be 1000s new jobs, there will be a few low-wage jobs with no normal employment security.
Tax incentives to corporations mean less tax for Local Authorities…so don’t expect your pot-holes to be filled in soon!
Crime in your area will rise with the possibility of drug and people smuggling as companies will be responsible for their own security on what comes in….never mind what goes out of these enormous Freeports.
Fences are already going up where once we could roam and it won’t be too long before the fencing goes up on the shores of Loch Lomond.
Gossip =Fake news=Lies!
To be able to make an informed decision about anything we have to be able to distinguish between fake news and truth and remember fake news will always be more palatable than the the truth.
90% of what we read in the MSM is fake, headlines worded to lure us in!
When it comes to Scotland, start where the facts are, documented truths. Look at Salvo and SalvoFreeports.
….and if like me and thousands of others, you are sick of the lies, the fake news then join us at…
