sophia Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 BBC Radio Scotland, "the line has dropped out " and an interviewee with something to say is lost to the country is so common that it is a surprise when an interview is completed. This must be down to more than dodgy mobile phone signals or some such and whereas this is only tenuously associated with this thread, it is increasingly irritating and shows Pacific Quay in an amateur light. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salt n Vinegar Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 I want to know why the BBC is ignoring an absolutely disgraceful situation that has persisted in Scotland's capital city. We have been struggling along for over 5 months now without a Duke. Just think of all these Dukeish things that are being left undone, resulting in an appalling situation for the population. The city is on its knees. Rioting in the streets by crazed mobs chanting "we want a Duke". Something MUST be done! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When old bat ears became Prince of Wales in 1969, there was a televised ceremony and 5 Stamps! The new Chookie Embra didn't even get one stamp. The country is going to the dogs, I tell you! How's Chazza supposed to do both these crucial jobs at the same time? Who is he meant to support when Wales come to Murrayfield? This won't end well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There would be very little pressure on fresh produce if the EU market had been taking up that slack. To say empty supermarket shelves are the fault of a gas price rise is simply only conveying a part of the story and hence the BBC are guilty of that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lower energy bills were an explicit promise from vote leave and Boris Johnson himself during the referendum campaign. You love to point to the SNP "blaming Westminster" for everything, but you are pretty damn quick to do the same the other way when it suits. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not specifically blaming the SNP but you have to admit, they seem to e in thrall to the Greens and the green lobby. The UK government are much the same but I do have some hope that they will see sense. At least they haven’t stopped nuclear. We need to have a broad based energy supply policy embracing coal, gas, oil, .nuclear and renewables. Once our supply Is secure then you can talk about zero carbon. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suspect Device Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Boris promises cheaper household gas bills if Brits back Brexit – The Sun BORIS Johnson and Michael Gove today promise to scrap VAT on household energy bills if Britain backs a Brexit. In the first cash sweetener of the EU Referendum campaign, they argue that leaving the EU will allow ministers to bin the "unfair and damaging" £2 billion a year tax on gas and electricity prices. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
