lichtgilphead Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 (edited) Caught main BBC news & Distorting Scotland at lunchtime there. Some reporter live from Clydebank, and mention of Labour's majority on West Dunbartonshire Council. If I recall correctly, two Scottish councils went from NOC to single party control. Why wasn't the other one mentioned? Edited May 7, 2022 by lichtgilphead 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Gloria was flirting through that piece, by repeatedly crossing and uncrossing her legs. Fraser, professional as always, totally ignored her. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 I used to wonder why the press were also so keen for the Liberals to be a thing at these elections, even though anyone of adult age who pays attention is well aware that it's the home of the Tory protest vote, which will come back to heel when the big-boy election comes round. Feel a bit stupid for not working it out sooner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HTG Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Maybe not so much BBC bias as BBC - an arm of the state. I was watching some old Eurovision schmaltz last night. Clodagh Rodgers appeared on it and I googled to see if she was still alive. Apparently she got the gig because: "Rodgers was chosen by the BBC to be the United Kingdom's representative for that year, with the intent to ease tensions between Great Britain and Northern Ireland." Since when did a tv outlet decide that they'd base their light entertainment decisions on the basis of heavy duty politics/social unrest? Obviously didn't have a care in the world about the potential impacts. "Rodgers later said she received death threats from the Irish Republican Army for representing the United Kingdom at Eurovision." Arseholes then, arseholes now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seemed to me that you might have been blaming her, which would have been a pretty clear case of victim-blaming, in a 'serves her right' sense. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well they that built that guest wing, dressing room, and green room for Nigel Farage back when they were promoting him. Might as well be put to use, and presumably Kate Andrews is busy hosting all the other potential chair-warmers at an IEA champagne party tonight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "lifelong" Rangers fan maintains his lifelong losing trend. They should respect the result, focus on domestic issues and not try again for at least a generation. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
