I’m sure this be very useful for Scotland at the UN when the English Gvt tells them Scotland isn’t a colony because it has self governance.

Welsh BBC article about Starmer trying to over-rule devolved governments on spending Another daily story from BBC Scotland about the expensive business of operating a fleet of ferries, served with a heavy seasoning of SNP-bad

Starmer's power grab is news on BBC Wales but surprisingly not anywhere on BBC Scotland.
Meanwhile, ferries...
Tell me again that BBC Scotland news is not a politically biased propaganda outlet.

I think we all know YES is really in the 60% region.

We need to start taking a leaf out of the MSM's book in how they present Reform as the next UK Government, based on polling (even though they currently only have 8 MPs), and therefore talk about #ScottishIndependence as inevitable.

Definitely the WC. Would be good to make the final for a change, rather than throwing away the semi like in 1991 or being robbed by Joubert in 2015. 😉

NB - For our Irish pals, the semi-finals are played after the quarter finals.

Just a reminder of Finn Russell's brilliance as a rugby player.

Much to unpack, not least the general consensus of there being only three real majors and a minor major (US PGA).
That the Players is an important championship is undeniable, but a major it is not and never will be, despite what the insignificant non-major winner Russell Henley proclaims.

Please read this thread. To say it's important is a massive understatement.

Hugh McIlvanney is often proclaimed as the greatest sportswriter of them all. Perhaps he always will be.
Having said that, and as proven by yet another beautifully penned article below, Jonathan Liew is not that far behind the great man.

First rule of BBC Scotland Journalism?
"Headlines frame how readers interpret the content before they consume it.
Cognitive research shows that first impressions heavily influence interpretation. A headline shapes that first impression."

If you think the far-right rhetoric from the BBC before Gorten and Denton was sickening, you ain't seen nothing yet.
Indeed, when the disappointed bigots of the BBC eventually leave their darkened room today, the hate will be ramped up so much they'll make Goebbels seem distinctly philanthropic.

Judging by the muted coverage this morning on BBC and ITV, it's certainly a sad day for the bigots of Reform, Labour and their courtiers in the press.

There are two types of people in Scotland:
Those thick as mince Scots and English bigots who watch, listen and trust BBC Scotland News.
And those of us that don't.

NHS Scotland makes ‘undeniable progress’ with 50% or more, cuts in longer waiting time lists but is completely ignored by BBC Scotland news editors Above, the plummeting ongoing waits after 52 weeks in NHS Scotland, for new outpatients and, on the right, for inpatients and day cases. These are dramatic, around 50%, and surely ‘newsworthy…

Of all the things to call a "resort" in the Southern Highlands of Scotland, Flamingo Land is by far and away the most ridiculous.
Indeed, the application should have been binned when it first arrived by post.

There is no metric. Indeed, if he was CEO of any other plc - and the architect of the serious risks now facing Celtic FC (CCP) - he'd have been replaced by now. Simply not a leader, in any shape or form.

Westminster’s great Scottish energy rip off In news that hasn’t appeared anywhere on BBC Scotland to my shock and surprise, that’s shock and surprise as in “I was shocked and surprised to learn that the Pope believes in god…

'With Westminster’s energy policy, Scotland gets the worst of all possible worlds, and the anti-Scottish independence parties and their branch offices in Scotland are quite happy with that. They serve the interests of their London masters.'

Less a conspiracy, more of a political strategy. And let's not forget that Wilson's primary loyalty, above all else, is to Westminster and the Labour Party.

Wilson is taking his orders not from the Celtic board but from forces deep within the WM establishment. In other words, the GB must be silenced, at any cost, even Celtic FC's.
