BBC Scotland has employed a blackout of this story.

Jimmy Kimmel returns with unfinished business over Trump’s birthday letter to Epstein

NEW: The BBC has been forced to issue a correction after exaggerating the number of drug deaths in Scotland.

Waiting times in the English NHS have gone up for the third month in a row. It made the BBC News at One but was dropped from the News at Six. No politicians in sight. No health secretary. Sarwar and Baillie are lying when they claim waiting times are going down in England.

I’d like to think BBC Scotland News wouldn’t pre arrange questions with interviewees but that interview between Laura Maciver and Douglas Alexander smacked of it. The question on timescales was pathetically thin, we know it’s up to 10 years for 40%, Laura not mentioning it though.

Steven Gerrard has turned down the chance to return as Rangers manager

Are any of them available for next Sunday?

I reckon that boy totally undervalued that Ryder Cup item on Antique Roadshow. Hugely unique. Oh and I managed to play Moortown back in my gowfing days.

Imagine going from the world's most powerful empire to whatever this is in just a few decades. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 The way Sir Kier happily and eagerly jumps up when called, then slinks back once quickly dismissed, all by someone who doesn't know his name....

3 guesses where I am today…

It’s amazing how this clown still gets a gig representing Rangers on Sky. I don’t understand how even Rangers fans like him being the face of Sky. First Gerrard, now it’s McInness, it’ll be someone else after the weekend.

State of this cunt. Climbing aboard the cash cow, his supporters are the thickest of the thickest on this island.

50 tickets is no deterrent for any fan base, Rangers or any other club. The wee fannie’s that do all the pyro stuff will not be the ones to suffer, it will probably be 50 ordinary fans who miss out.

Reporting Scotland is covering sexual offences on trains this morning and concealing the fact that it is a UK wide report which shows Scotland at 98 cases has the lowest recorded rate in the UK. Proportionally half that of England [2156 cases] and a fifth of Wales [407 cases].
