I have a lot of criticisms about all branches of media but they all contribute to the debate . The BBC has lots of faults but , without getting into details , we should have a non commercial broadcaster . They also have lots of strings to their bows which go , mostly , unrecognised . But , despite lots of things I disagree with , the BBC is mostly credible . I come on here for amusement . Don't expect much credible content though am pleasantly surprised , very occasionally Sound👍 was for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is incorrect on two scores - firstly, the HQ remains in London and secondly, the north-west base is in Salford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salford is in Greater Manchester 🙂. You are right, the BBC HQ is in Portland Place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maiden Gorgie Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Glasgow media and a lot of Glasgow people are just envious of Edinburgh's standing and reputation The welcome I got from one when through there was "what is it like to be in the real Capital". Sums it up perfectly for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heartened Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Reporting Scotland last night had an item on how Covid Passports would affect crowds at matches. Mentioned there are five clubs with ground capacity exceeding 10,000 and mentioned them. However used the following wording at summing up: "how this will affect Celtic, Rangers and the other clubs....." sums up their attitude perfectly.

If only that were actually true. Sevco have banned the BBC, but the BBC are every bit as much in thrall to them and the other arsecheek as they ever were.

Sevco have banned the BBC, but the BBC are every bit as much in thrall to them and the other arsecheek as they ever were. Sevco banned Chris McLaughlin as they took umbrage at a report he did about sectarianism at Ibrox(rather ironic, considering recent events). As a result his colleagues at BBC Scotland have decided to boycott Ibrox as a show of support for him. However, shall we say that a line of communications between Sevco and BBC Scotland is kept open unofficially, mainly through Charles Young esquire.
