About time they were fined, apologies, tucked somewhere in the background online are not satisfactory.

Thank ladies for standing up for Scotland an informing us of just how toxic the BBC is in Scotland This is not public sector broadcasting it's right wing anti-Scottish propaganda Can Glasgow Council sue the BBC for defaming Scotland's 2nd largest city? youtu.be/gZKSUa2vvUY?...

Salmonella outbreak in the UK. Check any eggs you have. If they do not have a red lion mark or are not produced in the UK, make sure you cook them thoroughly. 47 cases in London, 38 in Yorkshire and Humber, 6 in Scotland, 1 in Wales and 1 in Northern Ireland. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Scottish Borders Council has shown its preference for a development by the Duke of Roxburghe. Councillors on planning committees are supposed to shun access to information that may impact on planning decisions. So what changed? The status of the developer? www.thenational.scot/news/2647907...

Perhaps it should be put to the test then. Polling suggests it should. Circumstances have changed significantly since 2014,with Brexit, continuing Tory austerity who’ve not been voted for in Scotland since 1955. and now the rise of the right wing in England. What is frightening you unionists?

I'd be fascinated to see, should the Scottish Government attempt to do the same thing, if Westminster steps in to stop them.

My latest blog piece. BBC Scotland's hit piece on Glasgow tells us a lot more about the agenda of the BBC in Scotland than it does about Glasgow. The BBC's great unmentionable is the link between far right protests, Loyalism & British nationalism. weegingerdug.wordpress.com/2026/08/19/t...

AI and Data Centres provide jobs in the same way that self service checkouts provide jobs. They don't, they take them.

British energy bills forecast to hit three-year high this winter

British energy bills forecast to hit three-year high this winter

Expected quarterly rise if 4% highest likely to wipe out Burnham’s VAT cut on electricity bills Household energy bills across Great Britain are expected to climb to a three-year high this winter as the impact of the Middle East war wipes out Andy Burnham’s tax cut on electricity bills. The government’s cap on energy prices is on track to rise by 4% from this October to the equivalent of £1,729 a year through the last three months of 2026, which could hit struggling households especially hard this winter, according to analysis by the energy consultancy Cornwall Insight.

Stealing from the SNP is clearly wrong & the perpetrator went to jail. In England politicians take massive “donations” ranging from £100,000 to millions from rich people & it’s ‘nothing to see here..don’t you worry your wee head about the big boys’ #WestminsterIsCorrupt

Good news for Farage fans. He'll begin to receive his European Union MEP pension next April. Its estimated value is £73,000 per annum (paid for by the UK taxpayer). A just reward for the one fisheries commission meeting (of 42) that he attended.

Knicked from the dark side. Burnham announces 24/7 free bus travel for eligible disabled people. 20 years after Scotland. Scotland exported 21.7 TWh of electricity in 2025 and imported just 0.9 TWh - making it a net exporter of 20.8 TWh to the rest of the UK, keeping the lights on at Wasteminster.

History shows that when people are told they are worthless & dependent, then they accept any crap dished out to them. That’s why the Clearances, the Famine, Ethnic cleansing happened. Just as Israel is doing to Palestine with bombs. BBC Scotland News is a modern political hammer to batter Scots.

Freedom of the press is not a freedom to pump out negative garbage. And that’s what BBC Scotland inflicts on Scots every day. BBC Scotland’s key purpose is to destroy our self-respect & sense of self-worth in order to undermine efforts to control the wealth of Scotland for the people of Scotland.
