Making a statement now saying he had nothing to do with helping BoJo getting his loan. Aye right... “It wasn’t the £800k bung to BoJo that got me the gig, it was the £400k bung to the Tory party!” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was one of these under Johnson, can’t remember who it was now-some sort of Covid job I think, where the conclusions were identical but it was reported as the report exonerating the appointment because no actual conflict was found and the committee filled in the right forms. Can only conclude that any half decent spin doctors recognise the Tory party as a lost cause and have jumped ship. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTJohnboy Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 After the excitement of watching the final of Pointless, I left my TV on BBC1, idly wondering if their flagship 6pm news broadcast, would lead with Putin now blaming the US for that drone attack, or the humanitarean crisis unfolding in the Sudan. Wrong, wrong wrong.... Apparently there's some Royal event taking place in London Town on Saturday BBC bias? Never. How could anyone possibly suggest such a thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirkieRR Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 Chris Mason on BBC Breakfast this morning, burbling excitedly about the English Council results. He maundered on to speculate whether, with the SNP in turmoil, these elections might lead to a resurgent Labour succeeding in a GE in Scotland. TBF, John Curtice of Strathclyde Uni was interviewed later and questioned in detail about what the results mean and how far you can extrapolate them to other types of election. You could summarise his answer as, not much. I hope someone tells Chris Mason. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If, by "succeeding", he presumably means more than the one (1) MP Labour currently have? And - lets not forget, Ian Murray (Labour in name only) is only there because the blue rinse tories in the constituency voted Labour tactically so it wasnt an SNP win. Bitter? Yes, hes my MP.......... Mason is just another in a long line of London centric BBC twats with little understanding of the political landscape in Scotland. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sophia Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 The hollowed out and weegie dominated BBC Scotland reported on the Daviot wildfire and mentioned the recent and similar event in Cannich. The apparently poorly trained reader outer annunciated Daviot with an a like a gargle and Cannich with an itch at the end. That they can't pronounce regional place names correctly sets a bar that is low. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
