I MUST say I never thought the BBC would stoop so low as to broadcast a report to try and damage the Scottish Government days before the Scottish council elections, but they have done exactly that and in my opinion “crossed a red line” on a played-out old story regarding the unfinished construction of the island ferries.
Why on earth would BBC Newsnight even attempt to cover such an old story??? It has been deliberately repeated for weeks and weeks in Scotland!!! And it is nothing more than an extreme act of political skulduggery carried out under instruction from some partial BBC “high heid yin” with an affiliation to the Brit government, ie Johnson and his shameless cabal!!

I despair watching this once reputable institution lowering itself to such a partial political stance with intent to damage an identified target, namely the Scot government and our esteemed FM, in such a manner!!! What an absolute outrage and surely good reason for the Electoral Commission to take formal action if their officials had any true conviction to do so.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
