Welcome to #Scotland where Category A nuclear accidents are being reported at Faslane and folk in Rosyth may be prescribed anti-radiation iodine pills.
Imagine if this story was about Plymouth, Portsmouth or London.
The shit would be hitting the fan.

The BBC is no longer trusted in Scotland and hasn’t been for at least a decade.
Anybody in this country (🏴) who still bleats about the BBC being a paragon of public service broadcasting is either delusional or must have been unconscious for the last ten years.

It's incredible the things the state broadcaster takes responsibility for & what it does not. Months of Israeli propaganda, nothing. One episode that told the truth about Trump's involvement in J6th&heads must roll. Suggests both foreign involvement & a politicised broadcaster.

Irony: People saying the BBC is biased towards the left when a big part of why they’ve all been radicalised to vote Tory and Reform is BECAUSE of (yes you guessed it) the BBC’s right wing bias.

Did you know? The latest GERS report on Scotland's public sector funding omits the £755m raised by ScotWind in the latest offshore wind options sale. This goes to our Government.
Why? Because Westminster hasn't assimilated it into its UK-wide figures.
Another reason to ignore GERS misinformation.
