An important voice here from the German media on the misrepresentation of the independence movement in Scotland by the BBC
This by @neilmackay.bsky.social is so baffling. And it's true. Every time I was up in Scotland I was astonished about how badly under- and misrepresented the independence movemnt is on the BBC. While its still going strong.
Ignore this at your own peril.
Plus it also undermines the BBC's authority

The BBC has a serious Scotland problem - so why is nobody talking about it?
Neil Mackay on the BBC's alleged bias on independence, and what he views as the wider media silence eroding trust and fairness.

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.”
What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”
Funny how that works.

Despite what the Media tells you every day the UK does not have an employment problem.
In fact we have more people in work than France, Italy, Spain, Ireland, Finland and most of Europe.
We have a greed problem.

one great mystery of our age is how the only way to motivate rich people to work is to give them loads of money for no reason but the only way to motivate poor people to work is to take away loads of their money for no reason

Cutting Brexit would provide the UK Government with £42bn extra a year, at no cost at all.
Then you wouldn't have to make any cuts and could spend £20bn.

Reform with 5 MP's gets more TV and Newspaper coverage than the Greens, SNP, Independents and Lib Dems combined.
This is because Reform is owned by the billionaires who own the Media.

I had the huge privilege of interviewing Jimmy Carter back in 2011 at his incredibly modest home in Plains, Georgia, with his wife, Rosalynn (who he bickered with in the most loving & curious way throughout the interview). An extraordinary man & legacy. RIP.
