Using Barrowman was however bad - a prominent poster boy for the BT campaign? That wasn't even that subtle.<br /><br />The BBC are a joke, again we'll no doubt be dismissed as being over sensitive, but you'd have to be a monumental idiot to not see the coverage over Gaza - about which I haven't the words to adequately express my disgust at that entire situation - and how woeful its been.<br /><br />As 'Water' says above, the entire edifice is crumbling, Fallon is just another wide-eyed unionist robot who'll say anything and think we'll swallow it.<br /><br />Its all intensely crap and disappointing.pa_broon74https://www.blogger.com/profile/01915208411019621104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7488826927992195485.post-1980785047942575152014-07-27T05:04:23.153-07:002014-07-27T05:04:23.153-07:00defence secretary michael fallon

The BBC have shipped in the bigger presenters from England implying that BBC Scotland is rubbish, which it is, but thats not the point.<br /><br />I noticed that the volume of flower of Scotland goes down, the English cyclists have the union Jack on their helmets and use God save the queen as their anthem. All very subtle but typical. The BBC have no doubt employed people on how to make these the most political broadcasts ever and so subtle it really is scary.<br /><br />When you add in the disgusting coverage by the BBC of Gaza anyone with a brain can see that the BBC no longer try to even pretend to be impartial . This is one of the reasons I just cant bring myself to watch it to be honest, I put it on in the background but I just find myself getting angry at the commentary of the event. The hypocrisy is startling to say the least. Glasgow and Scotland would appear to have done a decent job, minus barrowman at the opening ceremony the prick, but you would never know it from the language used and the sad reality is most people wont see or understand the subliminal messages the BBC are broadcasting, people like us who see it will be called cranks or worse.<br /><br />Sadly the games show unionism at its very worst , but they just couldn't help themselves due to how afraid they really are.<br /><br />Great blog.<br /><br />BruceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7488826927992195485.post-81491058338349169262014-07-26T13:51:49.718-07:002014-07-26T13:51:49.718-07:00Hi Lily.
