Swinney also stated yesterday there was no record of the resilience team/committee meetings. GRAAS or something it was called. He headed it up. 11 hours ago, ScotiaNostra said: Thats the thing then, it reeks of incompetence hard to believe really Crazy stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well........apart from the academic papers and easily found examples highlighted across a wide range of mediums.........the fact that the BBC's own head of referendum coverage during the referendum admits to bbc hostility towards independence does tend to suggest an element of bias maybe crept into coverage. https://www.heraldscotland.com/news/17506742.bbc-bias-row-senior-journalist-criticises-colleagues-indyref-coverage/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He claims 'that some colleagues had an assumption that the Yes argument was “wrong”'. The BBC of course claim they're employees were professional. They're a big difference between admitting something you did yourself and claiming another person did something else. If you claim something it doesn't necessarily make it true or false whereas if you admit something you're pretty much confirming it as true. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As with all brainwashed unionists your head is so far up your rule brittania arse you will never see daylight, I pity you. Lastly consider why all of these 65 Countries, some big yet some very small, washed their hands and bid a big good riddance to your beloved england. Answer that instead of childishly attempting and copying your english masters in rubbishing people like me who love Scotland and despise our country being dragged into the gutter by Westminster only for the monetary gain oil brings. Me deflecting while you deflect everything to be WM or the Conservatives fault. Using the word brainwashed on someone else. Maybe take a look at yourself. And I certainly do not need pity from anyone but especially not from you. My beloved England How old are you? English masters You do a good job of rubbishing yourself Sandy. Blaming WM again for all of the faults in Scotland You really are a Unionist's dream. Please keep going Sandy as you will never change any Unionist's minds by posting as you are. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have absolutely no doubt if No had lost the referendum, unionists they would be claiming BBC was biased in favour of them.

The article seems to suggest that there were some people who worked at the BBC that voted No. Which is a very, very long way from suggesting the BBC is biased in favour of No. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SandyCromarty Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 And now what shite to throw at the SNP and Nicola will the tory and labour unionists come up with. Now that their hero Farmer Jack has admitted that he too deleted all of his covid Whats App messages.

While we know that the Tories will always be mired in sleaze and corruption (Tories gonna Tory after all), the difference now I that the SNP are 'also' mired in sleaze and corruption. Whether it's an industrial scale deletion of WhatsApp (yes, same as the Tories), 'gold' Command meetings (unminuted), Matheson I-Pad, Humza's 70K trip to New York, Branchform, the Salmond Enquiry...the list goes on. It's not a 'plot' by the BBC, M15, or whoever...its their own fault for getting far too comfortable with the snouts in the trough over the last decade or so 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your hope has to be that the SNP sort themselves out..and soon Ditch the comedy act as FM..put a serious candidate in place instead. Come up with a credible plan for post-Independence which isn't a bankers bonanza, but seeks to fund public services properly. But, yes, the current political climate is a mess. If the SNP get a shoeing at the GE with the Humza at the helm and 'most seats does it' defeated, they will set the case back some time 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
