Propaganda at highest level

Sir, - Andrew Marr’s introduction to his show on Sunday morning (October 1) was appalling.

He insisted that nothing else but Unionist politics dominate his show, ignoring what else was going on around the globe, more especially the Catalan independence issue where violence has broken out under a Spanish regime by punishing those who wish an unfettered independent state.

This was surely BBC propaganda at its highest level.

Marr allowed the Tories and their allies down south who are holding their conference, to take the highlights.

One begs to question, would this happen here if Scots held similar referenda peacefully?

Who would be the Unionist politicians to give the word to overcome the political will of the Scottish people and use similar force to control and attempt to put laws in place to restrict the freedom of Scottish independence wishes as is happening in Catalonia?

Would it be Boris? Theresa? Jeremy?

The restrictions in Spain against Catalan wishes are nothing short of a democracy turning back into a dictatorship.

Many unionists will agree with the Spanish Government, but will not openly admit it.

After all, many of those unionists are the ones who will have more to lose than those who wish for self determination.

Democracy in Scotland, and others that are part of the Westminster realm who voted to stay in Europe, saw the last vestiges of

this so called Union of equals diminished by the lies told by those that caused the referendum on Europe, because of a Tory Unionist party that was running scared of an extreme right wing UKIP party that proved to have no substance.

We now have in charge an English dictatorship with some Scottish influence, in the shape of some extra Scottish MPs, that do not have a clue as to how to run the country.

The Unionist media is run in most cases by billionaires who run the day to day business of the country through their own propaganda machine.

Unfortunately the beeb has been run by ex-politicians with influence.

Now is the time to stop its public income. Bob Harper. 63a Pittenweem Road, Anstruther.
