I will repeat the old comment. “Robert Peston was so far up Boris Johnson’s arse he could see Laura Kuenssberg’s feet.” Never a truer word. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can someone please tell me a single big decision he got right? He made Brexit worse than it was inevitably going to be, he's allowing migrants to be shipped off to Rwanda, He cost us a fortune by handing out unnecessary multi billion pound PPE contracts to his pals during covid but aye he got all the big decisions correct. Not to mention the big decision he got wrong over Mr Pincher that cost him his job. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decision should be pluralised, even if you are only referencing Pincher. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in the politics section or the News/Scotland page. Of obviously far more concern is a singer being too lazy to make a new album and a story about a football fan getting free refreshments because he was hit by a ball. Good to see that the beeb's priorities are spot on! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiGi Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Interesting framing on the BBC homepage. The language immediately paints the workers taking industrial action as the bad guys. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiegoDiego Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Interesting framing on the BBC homepage. The language immediately paints the workers taking industrial action as the bad guys. I understand where you're coming from but I think that's a perfectly acceptable headline. Most people don't care about wage negotiations, they care about whether their train is going to be cancelled or not. Framing it from the passengers' perspective is the logical way to do it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tattie36 Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 (edited) Never thought I’d see the day that Countryfile would get political. Currently putting the boot in to the Scottish Government re the ferries issue and putting words into people’s mouths. The entire feature was a thinly veiled opportunity to have a dig. Not saying that the SG are innocent, far from it but there are other factors involved. Edited August 7, 2022 by Tattie36 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTee Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Politics aside. Apparently Scotland is subsidised. Can someone explain this. Small country with a small population with an embarrassment of natural resources, but subsidised. Anyone explain this? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dons_1988 Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Commonwealth Games: England denied dramatic relay gold by disqualification https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/commonwealth-games/62460335 Not politics but the absolute bitterness here is rather amusing: Scotland were promoted to bronze. Their team of Zoey Clark, Beth Dobbin, Jill Cherry and Nicole Yeargin, rather than England, climbed the podium in front of a half-empty Alexander Stadium when the medal ceremony took place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your own career being all that matters to you is the very definition of being a raging Tory. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
