I'm at London Heathrow, returning to Milngavie from Japan.
The BBC news in London has featured people complaining about Scotland qualifying for the World Cup being featured as an item.
Yet in Scotland we regularly get swamped with not only news items about the England team, but entire matches. 🤣

Father's Day card to my Dad, 1966. That's one of my main childhood memories, Dad unconscious on the settee every Saturday afternoon, the TV still on, empty cans or bottles all around him, smelling of beer. If you woke him, he'd swing at you. I don't think you can buy a card like that nowadays.

Just found out the local care home charges £7180 a month.
That's £86,160 a year.
And apparently they also get council subsidies.
I am truly shocked.

Almost everyone on the BBC Board was appointed by Boris Johnson, only Samir Shah and Deborah Turness weren't.
Why is this still the case?
Why are we still seeing biased reporting, biased interviewing and biased omission of news.
Can anyone tell me?

For over 20 years there have been press reports that Tony Blair is a "plausible psychopath".
He was an instigator in the Iraq War, that led many thousands of deaths.
He destroyed the BBC as we knew it and made it a govt mouthpiece.
Now he is in talks about him running Gaza. ☹️
