A biased affair

The BBC are confirming their bias in Scottish broadcasting, it seems. Despite SirKeir Starmer being allowed a televised response to the Prime Minister on Wednesday night, Douglas Ross, leader of the Scottish Conservatives, was refused the right of response to Nicola Sturgeon.

This confirms the bias of the public service broadcaster in Scotland and highlights the need for the cleansing of this Augean Stable which seems to exist purely for the benefit of the incumbent regime north of the Border.

The hospitality sector has survived, thanks to Scotland being part of the Union. Many owners of small businesses must have breathed a sigh of relief when First Minister Nicola Sturgeon complained that she could not close them down.

Many who might have voted for the SNP will now be voting for parties that will safeguard their future and that of their employees. Tens of thousands of Scottish jobs were in the balance there.

All this shows that Scotland needs to be freed from its political masters at Holyrood. They dominate with their daily, party broadcasts and sly innuendo against the Union.

They are helped by BBC Scotland to dominate the air waves with constant, daily broadcasts presented and repeated throughout the day, in breach of both the BBC and

Ofcom’s charters, which is a scandal. Withholding of the right of reply merely serves to emphasise the rather frightening reach of the party of separation.
