Wings Over Scotland

Brilliant Mr. Cairns!
That must surely rank as one of your best!
Now, if only we could get that on a mobile billboard and park it up outside PQ!

Well i hope your next few stories are belters for your new visitors to enjoy.
Nice and balanced and well toned lol.
What a week eh. Well done.

Simply brilliant

An excellent cartoon. The fact is, the BBC and their government managers have scored a big fat own goal this week. Their must be nobody left in Scotland who does not now know that the BBC are liars, they are anti independence, and are politically biased against the SNP and democratically elected Scottish government.

I do not doubt that here or there, in wee corners of Pacific quay, their may be an odd genuine individual, but that is now neither here nor there. Their is no doubt whatsoever about what the BBC stands for in Scotland. It is a propaganda machine, designed to run Scotland down, and make sure Scots never view their own country as worthwhile.

It is a colonial tool of the English establishment. ‘Keep the colonies’ subservient’, ‘make then feel they NEED England to survive’, make them believe deep down that Scottish culture, history and tradition is inferior’. That is what the BBC does in Scotland. It masquerades as impartial, in the very same way that cold-war U.S.S.R propaganda outlet ‘PRAVDA’ claimed to be impartial (Pravda in Russian means ‘truth’).

Scotland’s media, film, entertainment, news gathering and general society well-being, would be so much better if we did not have the UK government-run BBC dominating our land.

The BBC is no friend of Scotland. It is time for it to go.

Would make an excellent ‘flier’ or putting through letter box’s

They say no publicity is bad publicity and you couldn’t have bought the kind of exposure Wings has had this week.
Even better that their bias against Scottish independence and SNP has been exposed for all to see. What started off as a feeling of incredulity and dismay has put a wee smile on my face this week. We are winning and independence is within sight! The BBC is not as smart as they think they are, their arrogance and dismissal of Scotland has cost them dear.
A spectacular own goal from the BBC!

Ah wonder if we could get that Microlight pilot from the Trump demo to do a fly past of Pacific Quay demo with that banner on the 11th August 1pm – 3pm . Get your placards ready, well done Chris great toon .

“There is an art— to flying. The knack is how to throw yourself at the ground and miss”. ( Hitchhikers guide to the Galaxy).

Clearly the BBC have not learned how to avoid a crash.

Just listened again to John Beattie’s interview with Scott Arthur yesterday.

Does anyone really believe that Scott Arthur mentioned Wings to the BBC Legal Team in anything other than a derogatory light? He indicated that BBC seems more concerned with the full interviews rather than the clips. But then he said that most of the Wings stuff was clips “deliberately short so they could be taken out of context”. Contradicting himself right there. As well as being derogatory (he just can’t help himself). As a matter of interest, how long are the contested Wings clips?

Also, it was interesting how Scott Arhur wouldn’t challenge John Beattie. It was after all John Beattie who mentioned Scott Arthur’s name on air … he admitted it to him right there and then… but Scott Arthur didn’t have the cajones to challenge him or demand an apology from him… instead focusing on Ian Small.

Then John Beattie asked, “Have you had an apology from the BBC?” That was just surreal… if there was any apologising to be done, it should have been John Beattie right there and then… Seems Pacific Quay is still all at sea, they can’t even agree if they need to apologise or not.

Even more surreally, Scott Arthur said he had apologised to the BBC Legal Team in London for the time they had had to spend “on the clarification of the issue around me”… Did they have to go back and forth several times agreeing a statement that both could be happy with? There are a lot of weasel words in that BBC statement, which contradicts official policy up until now.

Scott Arthur let it slip too in his “lengthy and constructive discussions with the BBC Legal Team”, when he said something about how Wings was helping “drive people on to alternative news sources and social media… and all the issues with fake news related to that”. The ultimate aim of the BBC is to limit or even shut down social media sites so that they can control the news agenda. I fully expect that is what their policy review will be aiming towards.

The funniest bit was actually right at the start when the new announcer read out the BBC statement, “The BBC takes action across the political spectrum”, and then had a fit of coughing as the words choked in her throat.

It will be interesting to see the “damage” the BBC has done to the viewing figures for your Youtube channel and the “downturn” in folks reading your blog. I must admit that I didn’t realise you had a Youtube channel. I have now bookmarked it so that I can make sure to never watch it. 🙂

Stew,
I hope you are prepared for the B.B.C.s backlash, they may bind their time, but it’ll come.
Marker Post @ 8:43 am, I thought John Beattie did a good job, under the circumstances,as for Scott Arther, I think he does protest too much, as a guilty person tends to do.

Brilliant.

Love the perspective.

Ooh, Tom Harris. Well well.

There is no Demo at Pacific Quay, BBC HQ. Today

The demo takes place on the 11th August between 1pm and 3pm

Quite a dramatic front page of National today. Suppose it was unrealistic to expect Eamonn O’Neill to include it in his GMS review of papers. So back to normal. Problem goes away if you don’t mention it.

In the context of BBC bias, it should be mentioned again and again that BBC Scotland is the only ‘regional’ BBC outlet that refuses to allow comment on its articles. This ensures that the only voice that is heard is the official BBC narrative. No dissent or alternative opinion is ever visible to casual readers. Once again, contempt shown to people in Scotland.

Watkins from Legal has, indeed, nailed it this time. I’m sure the BBC “review” of its procedures will largely take the form of nailing Watkins to the wall. Nil points.

Has the next AUOB march been changed to the 18th? if so, I will miss it again. Its the birthday season at the Capella residence.

Still selling the same message in 2018 , the only broad shoulders they bastards have is to carry all their ill gotten gains back to dear old blighty.

The establishment down south have two objectives. First make sure Corbyn will never be in number 10. Secondly ensure that Scotland remains in the UK and the SNP are defeated.

That’s why all the press and the BBC have rounded on Corbyn.

This is why all the branch parties, financed from London, in Scotland plus the media are working to remove the SNP. Any smear is acceptable, this is why Davidson is under full media protection.

At the next election if you vote Labour, Tory or Libdem, you are voting for parties that are near 90% controlled from outside Scotland. Only the SNP and Scottish Greens are actually Scottish controlled parties. Now correlate this with which parties are independence supporting and have Scotland as their first priority.

At the next vote, chose a party that puts Scotland’s priorities at the top of their agenda, not one of the parties where at best it will be in the bottom 10% of them.

There is probably little doubt that the BBC beast has been wounded in Scotland, I suspect the rest of the UK are oblivious to most of this. The journos are only really interested if it is ‘one of their own’ that is under attack.

I suspect at this minute there are a number of these journos racking through Stuart Campbells past to try and dig up something. Watch out for a patsy willing to say anything for a media bung. Beware if they start being nice to you, they like to build you up before they bring you down, it makes it all the sweeter for them.

Thank goodness for The National which keeps Indy issues on front pages of newsstands (when not hidden by mad yoons as happened again this morning).

Listening to Radio Shortbread this morning and reaching the conclusion that they support entirely the formation of a One Party State under the far right wing banner.

You’d think the BBC would have learned this lesson after ‘Frankie Goes To Hollywood’ – they really need to RELAX!

It will be interesting to see the “damage” the BBC has done to the viewing figures for your Youtube channel.

The last I heard (a few days ago ) the poor Rev had only had an extra 700 or so extra subscribers to his youtube channel.

It’s almost as if the whole episode has done wings a whole lot of good.

Surely the BBC / Labour Part aren’t this incompetent?

Quite a few ‘double comments’ and people mentioning that comments are taking ages to load:

As was mentioned a few days ago, this site is experiencing far heavier traffic than normal, so be patient!

Well done BBC, well done professor Arthur.

Tom Harris is the ‘quintessential Blairite Labour MP’

Wasn’t it him who made the infamous statement when asked about the Labour Party’s support for Austerity:

“The Labour Party is the party of the ‘working man’, not the party of the unemployed man”

So by one quote, Harris proved that within the Labour Party’s Blairite wing, the belief was that the unemployed ‘chose’ to be out of work, so needed to get a job, to be backed by New Labour.

Red Tories? there worse than the Tories!

What Robert Louis 7:56am said.

Spot on.

Ha! bloody hell Chris you been sharpening your pencils well these days.

Absolutely nailed it! 😀 😀

OT they are talking. about the Labour Party maybe splitting,well we will see how many votes the Blairites get and their friends of Israel get these people are in my opinion hiding in the Labour Party
They do not and never have been for the workers as Keir Hardie was warned do not let the English join your party they will only join it to destroy it from within and that is exactly what has happened and as for the anti Semitic row is to condem murder and theft anti Semitic I think any decent person will condem these crimes no matter who is committing them

It is my understanding that the over 75 TV licence is then paid by the local council – but it’s still paid!

However where that money goes has been excellently covered by MrPeffers – many times.

Excellent toon, Chris (as usual, it must be said).

What started off as a feeling of incredulity and dismay has put a wee smile on my face this week.

The darkest hour before dawn. 🙂 Those beautiful rays of sunlight have caught the BBC-LAB vampire lovers with their coffins still open. Fully exposed, with nowhere to hide.

We need to keep the pressure on, however. They have been badly burned, but they are still fighting. Become complacent and the undead will rise again.

It’s been hilarious watching the BBC-LAB machine get into gear and test their damage limitation exercise. They are trying very hard, but it ain’t going away – yet. Keep the pressure on folks – they are melting. 🙂

I fear for John Beattie,

although he is a deluded British Nationalist his Btitnatism is not the ugly violent,shameful and abhorrent type as seen by most on BBC Scotland,

i think BBC will need a whipping boy to sacrifice in an effort to appease/defflect the rising voices of criticism,

and with Beattie actually naming Britnat simpleton Arthur as a grass on air, i fear BBC will take that error of judgement and sack John.

Tom Harris non politician quits Labour then today is parachuted onto radio Scotland. Ye cuidnae make it up.
Defends Trump and Brexit.
Are we peyin for this shit.
Desperate stuff fae the BBC.

Good one Chris, the BBC’s Biggles definitely crashed and burned on this one.

I hope Rev turns his attention to Tom Harris/Shereen and gives them both barrels – in any other week we’d all be talking about this.

Outrageous behaviour (isn’t it actually a form of trolling?) by BBC Scotland. I agree with Scot Finlayson above (12.56) that BBC presenters who even aspire to an ‘appearance’ of neutrality will now have to watch their backs.

We’ll be there at PQ next week, not only to protest about bias (now proven, not ‘alleged’) but also to send a clear message to BBC employees who can see the way things are going and are worried – we support you.

“Taking over the reins from Ken MacQuarrie, who was recently appointed the BBC’s Director, Nations and Regions, Donalda will become the senior editorial figure with responsibility for BBC Scotland content across radio, television and online.”

Since 2016, I can’t think of one instance when MacKinnon has done anything to try and rebuild trust with Scotland.

MacKinnon, her predecessors and successors are in post until their tenure becomes untenable and they are shifted off to London out of sight on high pay on a job that does not exist.

bbc / MacKinnon are to media in Scotland, what tories / Mundell is to politics in Scotland!

Last night on BBC Rep Scotland there was a report of the case involving John Wilson’s early release from prison.

The report showed Michelle Stewart’s, the victim, family with Scottish conservative MSP John Scott who is ‘supporting’ the victim’s family and the BBC reported this story on their website with the following ( which also showed picture of Ruth Davidson with victim’s family) :

Scottish Conservative justice spokesman Liam Kerr said the “tragedy” of Michelle’s death for her family had been “compounded by the lack of consideration given to them by the system”.

He added: “Our justice system must always put victims at its heart, treat families with care and dignity and make sure that the needs of the victim and their families are always considered first, not the perpetrator.”

Now this was indeed a shocking case as a young girl’s life was senselessly taken but what is also shocking is how the Conservative party ( and Labour on occasions) seek to politicise a tragic incident . Must one highlight the many victims of Tory policies such as the austerity policies with the perpetrators being the Tory party.

The sensitivity of these cases is such that the opposition or target of the criticism, SNP, are left unable to retaliate that the motives behind these opposition attacks are purely political. However I am NOT a politician and thus have the freedom to be both suspicious and voice concerns as to the obvious ulterior political motive behind this ‘support’ being given by politicians whose own party voted for and implemented the widespread misery and poverty many people now find themselves in.

I do concur that victims of crime should be dealt with consideration and dignity, but I say this as an individual who cares, not as a politician who is part of a political party whose policies treat people with no consideration or dignity. A politician who backs the Rape clause , PIP assessments , benefit sanctions and who through draconian implemented policies sees the emergence and necessity of food banks and also increased homelessness.

I support Michelle Stewart’s family and their loss but I do so as a fellow human being who cares for their grief and loss and as such I can empathise fully with how they must feel.And I do this because it is the decent and human reaction to their situation and not because I seek any self- righteous cause to further a political point while simultaneously attacking a political opponent.

This is unfortunately how politics is being deployed by unionist parties who choose to exploit the victims in society by using their personal situations to further their own political point scoring. Let us indeed support those who seek justice, fairness and change but let us do this without allowing political opponents to use people under the guise of caring when we all know the real motive behind their involvement…..especially if their party is responsible for the suffering of those most vulnerable in society and thus those most vulnerable victims become “victims” of a political party who choose to ignore their situation that they, the Tory party, have created by their own ruthless policies.

Tom Harris, ex-Labour MP and now ex-Labour, has been a regular columnist in the Daily Telegraph for some time now.
This is the sort of company he keeps now – from today’s on-line edition of the DT a piece by Charles Moore entitled:

“”With Etonians shunned in the modern Cabinet, where will the new talent come from?””

The burning question of the hour…not.

The BBC Scotland controller is not there to be the voice of Scotland, they are there to ensure that BBC Scotland adheres to the remit that London has decided. The direct equivalence is the UK Gov in Scotland Secretary, they are the London presence in Scotland, not the other way round.

@Thepnr,

`“The BBC is compensated by the Department for Work and Pensions for the television benefit.`

the BBC is paid for through the State Consolidated Fund (Gov bank account),

DWP is paid for through the State Consolidated Fund,

it`s all smoke and mirrors with magic money trees and the power to create money out of nothing (fiat money),

it`s not politicians or warlords or dictators or media barons that have f@cked this world it is accountants and their total lack of consequence to humanity in manipulating figures.

@Scot Finlayson says: 4 August, 2018 at 12:56 pm:

” … and with Beattie actually naming Britnat simpleton Arthur as a grass on air, i fear BBC will take that error of judgement and sack John.”

Unlikely, Scot. It is not BBC Jockland’s modus operandi – it is more than likely they will just send him to keep Izzy Fraser company in the wee broom cupboard under the stairs where they sent Izzy when she was thought to be far too even handed for TV use.

They keep all sorts of necessary, but not spoken about, stuff in that broom cupboard – like toilet rolls, air freshener, disinfectant and black plastic bin bags.

Mind you it does have the benefit that it is quiet, peaceful and smells better than other parts of Pathetic Quay, (if certain reports by commenters on Wings today are authentic).

Just a couple of days into his Presidency, Donald Trump singled out the BBC as a producer of “Fake News” and the BBC have been on his case ever since.

They are obsessed with telling us how bad a President Trump is and how the Russians fixed his election victory.

The BBC have three main targets. They are Putin, Trump and Scottish Independence.

The BBC pump out Fake News and lies on all three on a daily basis.

What a disgusting Union we exist in.

And I speak as one who gave up watching BBC Scotland and STV News bulletins a while back to stop me from going absolutely crazy with rage.

So my hat goes off to those who still have the stomach to watch the mince they produce.

Ian Davidson bullied Isobel Fraser on Newsnight. Accused Newsnight and BBC of Independence bias. Stated that the Labour Party had complained many times. Still on Loonytubes. Farcical.

Douglas Fraser blog is linked to Duncan Hothersall.

Duncan needs help. Looks like he has gone to drink. Alcoholism. Pity.

shereen -bbc review of the news— one contributor got married and it was really hot in the us of a, Harris, (really a tory?, but to get elected kidded on he was a socialist it would appear, loves trump , monty python and detests corbyn). Wasn’t he referred to in the unionist dark funding issue?

“with the fact that this senario is looking more likely, i think that the anti semitic attacks on corbyn, probably emminate from the remainers in the labour party.

corbyn also backs leaving the sm/cu as well”

Corbyn has more in common with mogg and johnson than the average working man or woman in the street in Scotland!

For all his so called moral compass, he never had the guts to say he was brexiteer, especailly to young people.

The attacks on Corbyn I used to believe were partly unjustified, now I believe they are fully justified and he is an opportunist leading a bunch self serving chancers!

Corbyn and May, different sides of the same coin! Scotland demands and needs better, in Nicola we have it!

Instantly, you will find an entire archive of the BBC’s news channels’ output on that day.

Does it bust copyright? In the strictest terms, outrageously so. Is it a vital public, indeed, civilisational record (along with all the other news channels that Archive.org sampled that day)? Inarguably. I’d like to see them try a take-down on Archive’s redoubtable magus, Brewster Kahle….”

jfngw @ 10:06pm Reminds me of something I heard when i worked offshore. I was a newly qualified geology graduate. Rough tough Yorkshire driller said to me “Geology graduates? All brains and no common sense, lad!” Actually true in a lot of cases… People like me however, brought up just a baw-hair away from Alloa’s infamous “Bottom End” were a bit more down to earth!

The fact the STV or STVNews will not acknowledge the BBC-Youtube-WOS debacle should tell everyone all they need to know regarding their stance on Scottish Independence and where they believe Scotland sits in terms of the UK.

O/T

Just by chance heard a moment or two from this BBC Radio 4 programme tonight entitled: “Is English Nationalism Toxic?”

Link: link to bbc.co.uk

This ‘moment’ I heard consisted of (Nick Cohen of the Observer I think) saying, in terms, that Nicola Sturgeon works hard to down play the ‘blood and soil nationalism’ prevalent in Scotland. And something about ‘Britain’ as a construct being able to rise above or avoid bad nationalism.

Literally heard a few moments of this while getting ready for (early!) bed. Worth a proper listen – or maybe not!

I can’t get why anyone voting Labour still in Scotland fails to see that they and the Independence supporter have a common enemy and it’s not the SNP.

Our mutual enemy is, as it always has been the Tories and their right wing supporting media who enable them to win power and fuck over the rest of us with impunity.

I’m a former Labour supporter as are a gigantic chunk that made up the 45% that did vote Yes. Open your eyes as it’s only with Independence will your voice ever count. We can do it on our own and will be much better doing so.

Have some faith, grab the thistle and vote for Independence. This will be Scotland’s and your last chance to save ourselves from the wreckage that is the leadership of the Eton boys and their twisted media.

Save yourselves and us, we need all the help we can get.

@Pete Barton –

STV don’t get a fraction of the grief levelled at BBC.

That will be redressed, slightly, next Saturday, but the problem remains – STV (to people of my generation at any rate) has always felt like the slightly ‘backward’ sibling of BBC Scotland. Despite the efforts of top-notch journalists and presenters (and all the workers who supprt them technically) that image has persisted. One would imagine that any opportunity to demonstrate clear superiority over their PQ neighbours would be grasped but no, no, no, STV just cannot and will not seize the chance.

That’s why, at PQ next Saturday, for the first time since these demos started, STV will get some overdue attention from protesters. Perhaps the management/editorialstaff/journalists will take it as a kind of compliment, then have a serious think about their role in this historic constitutional debate.

We can but hope.

Andy-B o/t 1.41pm
I had a raised voiced discussion with a Gers supporting pal today that any foreign team playing any team in Scotland would have a good experience in our country other than if they visited the Queens XI.
They lived up to their stereotype, as aggressive, racist, bigoted, British Nationalist arseholes, to the shame of our country. As usual!!!

Isn’t this always the case?? Their attitude to all things is the same, through all of history, wake up Scotland!!!

Boycott STV News Bulletins.

Boycott STV.

Let STV know you are boycotting their channel and tell them in no uncertain terms why you are boycotting their channel.

Watch the ITV England channel if you can’t live without your soap operas.

STV rely on advertising revenue and they don’t want to start losing viewers. Their advertisers wouldn’t like it.

Email them, text them, twitter them, phone them, but let them know one way or another why you are binning their channel.

” … Some of the twitter posts by people who apparently have PhD’s leaves you wondering if being slightly unhinged is part of the requirement. “

No jfngw, that phenomenon has an entirely different explanation. There is something you missed that explains it for most such cases. The ones who seem a bit doo-lally have a bit of a different cause. These are the ones who leave secondary and go to University.

Then they leave University but remain in the academic environment and go on to pass on their knowledge as university professors and never had experience of the real World.

We had an annual influx of these people in the MOD. All great experts in the theory but useless at actually doing the job.

Most, though, who were involved in the practical side went on to pick up the practice and they worked out well

Those that went right into management or remained on the strictly the theoretical side were usually total duds.

They weren’t stupid they just had no life experience and were totally impractical. Now these academics drew up circuits on paper and we had to lay out and design the copper plated circuit boards to plug into the racks on the working units.

The problem we had was these guys & gals hadn’t a clue of the physical sizes of the discrete components and we knew at a glance at the drawn circuits that there was no way in the World to lay out and build a printed circuit board that would fit into the racks.

Thing was that most of us doing the prototype work knew as much of the theory as the guys & gals right out of the University but we did not have the authority to change the requirements laid down by the MOD – only the people without practical experience were allowed to do that. We knew where to use a quarter watt rated component and were we could not.

The work was eventually shelved until medium scale integrated circuits came on the market – and guess what? The integrated components on the chips were quarter watt except where there was a definite need for higher rated components.

However, the real doo-lally experts are usually totally academic and without real World life experience.
