ARGONAUT AND SEA PLANE

THE BBC STEAMIE.
This display outside BBC Scotlands new shed on Pacific Quay is ART. It took 3 years to plan and cost you and me £350,000. Well thankyou very much for what looks like a line of washing. What a bloody joke, what a farce, what a scandal this organisation is. Corporate madness has infected this organisation and it should be cauterised. I find this so utterly offensive. I am listening to the game online from France on Clyde 2 and cannot see it as I will not subscribe to Setanta, or Sky. I have £135.50 extorted legally from me every 12 months for this utterly corrupt and offensive crap and I am sick of it. BBC Scotland you are named and shamed. Hang your heads not your washing.
AUNTY BBC IS ANTI SCOTTISH.

Glenn Campbell
Based at the Scottish Parliament in Edinburgh, Glenn Campbell 'reports' politics for a wide range of BBC programmes from Reporting Scotland on television, to Scotland at Ten on Radio Scotland. Campbell, 28, was born and brought up in the Hebrides. He studied at Islay High School and Glasgow University. His career began in commercial radio. A former Head of News and Sport at Scot FM, he also presented the station's news magazine "Lunchtime Live" which won a silver Sony award in 1999. Campbell joined the BBC in 2001 as a news reporter. He occasionally presents Good Morning Scotland and Newsdrive on Radio Scotland. His accent reminds me of the scene in Jaws 1 when Robert Shaw (Quint) draws his nails down the blackboard. I like the Hebridean accent but not this one. It seems the Campbells are to retain their position in Scottish history of the black arts!
*****On Reporting Scotland on Thursday this clown ripped up the SNP manifesto several times in front of camera at a peak viewing time.This was an act of bias so breathtaking as to be almost beyond belief.He is clearly a Lickspittle of the very first order. SNP politicians should refuse to take part in any programme led by him until (yet another) comprehensive apology is issued by the Biased Broadcasting Corporation. Meanwhile of course the BBC continues to dip deeply into our pockets for the privilege of viewing this junk.
*****The Biased Broadcasting Corporation Apologizes (yet again)
BBC apologises over fresh independence gaffe Reporter says sorry for
saying Scots voted against separatism in 1997
THE BBC has been forced to issue another apology for its coverage of Scottish politics after getting its facts wrong about the devolution referendum 10 years ago.
Senior BBC journalist Andrew Cassell said sorry for claiming Scots rejected independence in the 1997 poll - despite the fact that this constitutional option was not on the ballot paper.
It is the third time the corporation has apologised for its handling of SNP-related issues since the Holyrood election.
The latest gaffe occurred during a BBC 10 o'clock news bulletin last month. Cassell claimed Scots had rejected independence in a referendum 10 years ago. But the 1997 plebiscite offered only two options; the status quo and devolution.
A complaint was followed by Cassell apologising. He said: "I accept the report was not worded well and I apologise. I can assure you there was no deliberate attempt to misrepresent the situation, merely an attempt to explain it to a wider audience outside Scotland, which I concede I didn't do as well as I'd hoped." He added: "On the detailed point of the wording I accept it could have been scripted better, but I think the wider tone of the report was spot-on."
But Cassell's apology angered the SNP, as he claimed: "Support for independence in the polls has never exceeded the 30% mark - a fact readily acknowledged by Mr Salmond and many in his party."
An SNP spokesman said: "To add insult to injury, the apology itself compounds the problem by revealing a complete lack of knowledge about the level of support for Scottish independence."
*****The row comes after the BBC and Newsnight presenter Kirsty Wark apologised to Alex Salmond in June after she cut him off during an interview. An interview which was conducted in the rudest most sneering arrogant tone, which betrayed Warks own hatred of the SNP and made a mockery of the word "impartial". Wark should not be allowed near Scottish affairs again. She seemed to be trying to prove she had more ball's than Paxman. One is as biased as the other.
*****Weeks later, it was revealed the BBC had also apologised for exaggerating business opposition to independence.
Relations were further strained after Salmond announced the creation of a "broadcasting commission" to look at the industry's future, described by one BBC insider as a "provocative gesture".
An SNP spokesman said: "This is the third time network BBC has had to issue an apology for its coverage of Scottish politics. It again raises serious questions about the accuracy of output produced in London."
BBC Scotland are a joke and are offensive to Scots. The latest scandal being the hiring of Sunset and Vine production company, from south of the border, to cover Scottish sport such as The Melrose 7s, Scottish Masters Bowls, Scottish Cup Football, Shinty, Curling and international football highlights, which is all BBC Scotland can afford. We saw that on Saturday the 9th. September, when the England Israel game was live on BBC Scotland, but the Scotland Lithuania match was highlights only late evening as Setanta has outbid poverty stricken BBC Scotland. Can you imagine the uproar and wailing and howling if this had been the other way round.
Since the early 1980s we have witnessed BBC Scotland slowly and systematically erode their core craft base. Paying of staff and making conditions so unbearable that many jumped into the freelance market, or took early retirement. Outside Broadcast equipment was allowed to become so old and obsolete that producers did not want it when they saw what the BBC in London or private companies offered. This was a deliberate policy of discrimination and sheer arrogant brutality towards staff who had served BBC Scotland loyally for years. A policy that was over seen by senior managers parachuted in from England mainly London. How do I know this? From 1976 to 2001 I was a Rigger and then a Rigger Supervisor on the TV Outside Broadcast Unit at BBC Scotland. I witnessed the carnage. The BBC has contracted inwards to it's London core, it is a Londoncentric organisation, that is institutionaly racist and discriminates against Scots, at all levels. Just listen to a football commentary or sports news programme. Or watch Salmond v Wark on Utube.
*****Remember the Newsnight stunt last year in Glasgow Gallowgate, where Timmy Samuels and his team of jokers left a car festooned in St.Georges flags, and then enticed the local youths to trash it. All on camera, all on cue, with their faces covered, and looking at the camera, not exactly covert was it. Imagine the uproar if BBC Scotland pulled that one in London or Manchester. A complaint to the BBC had this response. " We were conducting a legitimate social experiment," since when were Newsnight staff tasked with that brief. What they were doing in terms of the law was inciting racist hatred. Did we hear a word from the CRE or any Unionist politician? No chance. The unionist establishment and the BBC, same thing really.
Someone may read this, (like the greedy odious Lord Foulkes, and his anti Scottish agenda,) and start jumping up and down. So at this point let me say categoricaly, this is not anti English sentiment. I have English friends and relatives with whom I have the greatest rapor. This is anti UK establishment, which is overpopulated with Scots and most English people I know agree.

We dared to dream, the dream is real, we have beaten France at Hampden and now we have done it to them again in Parc De France. What a beautiful stunning result. James McFadden you are a hero thankyou, Alex McCleish thankyou, Roy Aitken thankyou, all of you I love you.

Viewers in Scotland have had the humiliation of watching the England games live on BBC Scotland. And we cannot see our own games live, what a disgrace, what a humiliation, what a national scandal. This BLOG has just gone political. Watch this space.
