Scotland really doesn't rate the BBC's news
Scotland is very interested in Scottish news. But it really doesnโt like using the BBC as the source. Why is this?
Compared to England, ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ is much more interested in news about our nation. But we are much less likely to turn to the BBC to get it.
And yet we get charged the same licence fee for this public broadcaster, and our Government has no control over it.

If anything was ever in the โpublic interestโ, itโs a guy who sent confidential GovUK correspondence to a 3rd party for both his and the 3rd partyโs financial benefit!

I am heartbrocken to say this, but as a Scotland fan of 50+ years and wishing to be at every world cup since 98, we seriously need to consider boycotting the USA this year. Some things transcend sport. ๐ฅ

"In Scotland, uniquely, the framing of such stories is that which is presented by the anti-independence parties opposed to the Scottish Government....This is in stark contrast to how similar stories are reported when the failures occur in an NHS hospital in England or Wales"

Last year we had the UK Statistics Authority stating Labour Minister was lying about Scottish water in the risk of misleading the public
Today we have yet again from the UK Statistics Authority that a UK Government Labour Minister is talkin absolute shite about NHS waiting times in Scotland ๐

Itโs telling that absolute every โerrorโ made by the british State Broadcaster happens to be damaging to the SNP and/or Scottish independence
The truth is that these are acts of very deliberate misinformation, calculated to politically strengthen their โpreciousโ union

Why should a party influenced and controlled by Westminster sit in Scotlandโs Parliament when its interests lie elsewhere?
This applies to all four main Westminster-owned parties in Scotland.
Vote them out of Scotlandโs Parliament on Thursday 7 May.
End Westminster rule.

Projections from polling:
If everyone voting SNP1 voted SGP2: 91 pro-Indy MSPs (61 SNP, 30 SGP) = pro-indy Super majority.
If everyone voted #BothVotesSNP it would give 66 pro-indy MSPs (64 SNP, 2 SGP) = Tiny pro-indy majority (that could disappear by attrition).
#SNP1SGP2 NOT #BothVotesSNP

Fair point. A single historical example isnโt enough, so asking for the maths behind the claim is reasonable.
And if someone presents themselves as a โcore memberโ of a YES group, thereโs a duty to be neutral so the wider pro-indy movement isnโt misled by unsubstantiated claims.
SNP1&2 is folly.
