If youmust give trains a flag themed livery, it can be done tastefully. The new Great British Railways livery is not it. Why does everything have to be 'Great' British? It smacks of desperation. The livery looks like a GB News studio on wheels. The ScotRail livery is how to do it successfully.

I don't understand why the British media allows a far right party funded by the super rich and stuffed full of former Tories to continue to present itself as "anti-elite". It's such a blatant and risible lie yet Farage is never called out on it.

Offord's astroturfing Vote No Borders campaign was one of the BBC's blatant attempts to influence the outcome of the 2014 indyref. It was given a full 10 minutes on the 6 o clock news & falsely presented as a grassroots campaign while the BBC ignored genuine grassroots initiatives on the Yes side.
