1/ Why is Alyn ‘Reds-Under-the-Bed’ Smith so chummy with the British security sevices? He’s gone from war on cybernats to conflict with Russia. Smith’s time would be better spent planning Scotland’s exit from the UK and its #ColdWar2 foreign policy.

2/ Before he became SNP Spokesman for Russophobia – who now parrots standard UK state condemnation of #RussiaToday – he was happy to appear on the broadcaster. What changed? After all, Putin rebuffed Cameron’s request to come out in support of the UK in 2014 indyref.

3/ #WingsOverScotland described Smith and partner in Russophobia, Ukraine-dictatorship defending Stewart McDonald, as part of the ‘SNP’s transcult McCarthyites’ and part of the ‘ParteiStaatsPolizei’.

4/ A deeply worrying development when two SNP MPs view ‘cybernats’ and alleged Russian ‘Bots’ as a greater threat to Scotland’s independence cause than the British state which, openly and covertly, subverts the Scottish national interest. rt.com/russia/519804-…

5/ Smith was behind the slightly zany ‘Scot or Bot’ project. Less known is that he commissioned it from former Met Officer turned ‘director of a company providing specialist analytical and intelligence products and services, working with clients globally’. archive.today/SlVt3

6/ Forget #BBCFarage & tabloids:

“If I saw a Twitter account festooned in SNP and Yes branding but saying a lot of positive things about Brexit, it would be really handy to be able to see if the account is, indeed, coming from Minsk or Saint Petersburg.”

7/ Smith quietly creating division within the party, ably supported by Kirsty Blackman, and others. Both have targeted Joanna Cherry, the de facto leader of the small pro-independence faction still extant within the SNP. thenational.scot/news/18906578.…
