Two tier headlines.
SNP accused of using indyref donations for other SNP activities. Sturgeon & her partner arrested. House ransacked. Charges dropped.
The other, over £700,000 undeclared "donations" is an "admin error". No arrests.
All. Perfectly. Normal.

The BBC as the voice of the English Establishment has always been obvious in Scotland, Wales, and NI. The fact that the Establishment now feels a natural alignment with Reform UK now makes even those in England spot the obvious issue with this.
The BBC needs to be politically neutered.

I have defended the BBC again and again.
No more.
No more.
For 56 minutes Sky News and BBC News interrupted everything else and carried a Reform UK feed live, uninterrupted, unchallenged. The stream spluttered, froze, pixelated - dozens of times - still they stuck with it. FOR ONE HOUR.

Seems that, especially for younger voters, Westminster's infamous Powergrab of Scotland's devolved powers is either forgotten or unknown. Perhaps this brief summary of the history may prove useful, though since this was designed the overruling of Holyrood by Westminster has got MUCH worse.
