Baxter Parp Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Having watched Marr, Politics Scotland and various news bulletins throughout the day, there's a distinct shift from the vaccine rollout is too slow to Sturgeon's a devious bitch with something to hide about Alex Salmond. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baxter Parp Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Covid in Scotland: Blue envelope plan for vaccine dates is delayed https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-55781951 They'll be sent out in white envelopes instead. f**k me.

GiGi Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Aye that's pretty mental. Considering the letters are still being sent they could have just said "envelop changed colour", whereas if you just read the headline you'd think the letters themselves were delayed. Just an isolated editorial blip I'm sure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Listened to the Westminster Hour on R4 catch up, main discussion topic was Sturgeon saying they would legislate for a referendum if they win in May and Boris refuses a section 30. This was the panel, all of whom said it was awful to hold it in the middle of a pandemic, nobody mentioned that she had specifically ruled that out. Quote Radio 4's Sunday night political discussion programme. With guests Andrew Bowie MP, Conservative party vice chair, Stephanie Peacock MP, shadow environment minister, Salma Shah, broadcaster and former government adviser and columnist Sebastian Payne, Whitehall correspondent, Financial Times. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandyCromarty Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 As expected the BBC and the right wing media are ramping up their blatant attacks on the SNP and Scotland, there will come a time when they will realise that this only resolves and strengthens the Scottish peoples determination to achieve Independence. Alex Fergusons us against them siege mentality is an example. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It always amuses me to hear English politicos talk about the rise in support for independence because they're usually pretty out of touch with things in Scotland. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the snudge Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 The BBC are running a story on whether there will be an independence referendum. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-50813510 The comments section is closed and contains mainly unionist view points and is from December 2019. What is that about? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This documentary is well worth a watch which only confirms the anti Independence BBC bias in the most blatant way, it all smacks of big brother 1984 type broadcasting. Watch it.

O'Kelly Isley III Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 And so it goes on... tonight's Six O'Clock News piece by Lorna Gordon completely framing the independence issue around the pandemic. Not a mention of Brexit, austerity-driven poverty, the democratic deficit or a dozen other drivers. And of course, just like the North of England pieces, accompanied by footage of poor, unhealthy-looking locals. They really are a gang. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sophia Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Our Laura has confirmed that BJ "has the legal right to" refuse a referendum. Thank goodness that clears this up once and for all and a we can relax in a Westminster paternalism. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sophia Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Glen Campbell giving equivalence to NS and BJ and supposing that they are broadly similar and making the same covid mistakes. But hold on, he omitted to mention which of the two has a full toolbox and if there are compromises through necessity by the other. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This 'Independence referendum during the pandemic' issue nonsense has been in use by all Scottish Government opposition parties for the last couple of weeks, with the BBC throwing their bit in. Looks like the tory, liberal and labour parties are singing from the same hymn sheet again, it must be confusing for their respective party supporters It's similar to the 2014 Project Fear using the currency issue etc. We can expect a lot of this in the coming months. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
