How much of the top 1%/50% ‘s wealth comes from and is protected by them living in a stable* democracy under the rule of law and with a skilled workforce at their disposal to exploit? How much do you think James Dyson would be worth if he grew up in Mogadishu? We all earn in partnership with wider society through the apparatus of the state. It’s not money they’ve earned exclusively through their own genius and hard work. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapelhall chap Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Watching Politics Live today and again wondering why GB news "journalists" such as Tom Harwood, are given air time. Do any BBC " journalists" get slots on GB News? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A ferry being a month or two late for completion is far more newsworthy than, erm, economic meltdown. At least the ferry will be strong and stable and have a rudder. BBC Scotland "One of the two vessels being built for CalMac as part of a controversial ferries contract has been delayed until 2024, it has emerged. The vessel, currently known as hull 802, was expected to enter service between October and December next year. But Ferguson Marine Engineering has now said that the vessel will not be ready until the first quarter of 2024. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In reality, only a band of ranting extreme UKNats will pretend to care about ferries being delayed when the UK is ruining folks’ mortgages and savings, cutting services, reducing the pound to the value of old chip paper, and sending the price of food through the roof. As much as the loyalist Beeb try to make people care about the Scottish governments’ handling of ferries (which only a tiny fraction of the population will ever even use), daily experience and worries about the UK government’s economic suicide will be on far more minds. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 To be fair, remember all the coverage they gave to the stolen PPI money? It was front page for weeks and was constantly talked about. Oh wait, absolutely none of that happened and they got off with it completely with barely any scrutiny. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be people out there facing up to certain economic hardship. The scare stories of the last referendum can't be used again in light of what's happening right now. What will the arguments be next time? Never mind 'Greece without the sunshine", more like do you want to be like rUK but without the warm beer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jakedee Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 With the economy totally collapsing about us I'm glad BBC Scotland are still headling the months old story about the ferries As was the opposition (Tory) debate in Holyrood. Then moved on to the "crisis" that is the SNHS. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

williemillersmoustache Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 Victroria Derbyshire on Newsnight to Daniel Kawcynski "Every question I ask you are just ignoring so I'm just going to leave it there" I'd have gone out and bought a TV licence in greasy notes with IThe Beeb written on each of them if she'd actually just binned him there and there instead of still giving the c**t more airtime.

coprolite Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Today program : one in nine nurses left NHS last year in England. The proportion wasn't much lower in Scotland. Why not just say the proportions? I've checked the source and it's 12.5% in England and 10.7% in Scotland. That's a 15% difference. Is that "not much?" Obviously the BBC is usually innumerate but heading off the possibility of an unfavourable comparison seems deliberate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
