The only upside is that Sturgeon lives rent free in their minds. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 There's a "Cost of Living" section on the BBC News website just now full of articles informing us plebs how to save money. Everything is done by BBC to get folk to view this crisis individually and not collectively. Nowhere on their site can you read that society's overarching economic arrangements might need changing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is Dumfries, to be fair. So it’s a Tory heartland. No surprise there. The BBC location roster in Scotland for these type of shows typically comprises middle-class places such as Inverness, Stirling, Perth, St Andrews, Dumfries and Edinburgh with a large pool of native and Anglicised unionists to choose from. Even when they pitch up in Aberdeen, Glasgow or Dundee the audience is grotesquely unrepresentative of these cities. I look forward to the day when they roll up in Dumbarton, Port Glasgow, Bellshill, Croy, Ardrossan or Fauldhouse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I look forward to the day when they roll up in Dumbarton, Port Glasgow, Bellshill, Croy, Ardrossan or Fauldhouse. Yep, so it was no surprise that the Tory MSP Finlay Carson got the most airtime. I think BBC Shortbread believe that because they govern in WM, the Tories up here should be heard the loudest. No wonder there's still so many 'Dont Knows' when Nationalist panelists gets 15 seconds to answer a question before the discussion is moved on by the host. FYIW I thought Paul McLennan was excellent last night, didn't take on the braying Carson and as usual with the SNP panelists lately, his answers were well constructed and presented calmly. Carson doing the usual Tory thing of circling everything round to 'THe ESSEnpEE areNT doING their DAy jOB!!!!!!!!'. There was a great line from a clearly Nationalist nurse - 'Yes, health is a devolved power, but only in an operational sense'. A great dig at the Scottish budget from WM. McLennan himself said year on year they spend more and more of the budget on the NHS. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should phone up really right-wing Joe Lycett. He could moan about losing his star babe who had to vacate the post too soon. Might get the viewing figures up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
