Why isn't Scotland allowed to have it's own broadcasting? Why, because then we'd be able to counter all those everything in Scotland is 💩 stories with facts and WM controlled BBC cannot allow that for fear we'd leave the UK and take our hugely valuable resources with us.

This is another example of BBC Scotland's James Cook duplicity in the Broadcasters Pro Union Media Management.
They knew the statistical slight of hand and went along with it.

Since his DAD changed his First name, to make him difficult to 'Google', he's the new Head of the Sarwar Crime Family.
Every Business person in Glasgow, has a less than flattering 'story' about: 'The Sarwars'.
Anas changed his accent, to make him seem more 'real'. For some of us, it didn't work.

I give you Robbie Gibb. Political advisor and Tory/ Reform Ltd supporter. He is probably the most dangerous man at the BBC right now. He wants to commercialise it and turn it into a sleek professional world wide propaganda machine. So far his plan is working.

To be honest, they should have quoted Trump's speeches verbatim. It's much more revealing than editing, as he clearly struggles to string a complete and understandable sentence together.

Michael Prescott and Sir Robbie Gibb both bailed out of journalism years ago, and enjoy lucrative careers in corporate PR. And now they are the arbiters of BBC editorial standards. Go figure www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/media/...
The BBC has bigger impartiality problems than its coverage of Trump
It is the BBC’s entire governance structure–rather than individual stories–that should cause most concern
