Just a little wild writing this as I've just seen Prime Minister Cameron misquoted on the BBC news. It will surprise many of you that I'm upset by that but the truth is it paints a distorted and untrue picture of what he actually said and that is plain wrong.
He has said that he is open to consider, in the event of a NO vote in the Scottish Referendum, the option of giving thought to more powers to the devolved parliament.
Pretty straight forward. Non committal, sounds fair and very statesman like, saying something without committing to it.
Reported as Cameron offers more power if people vote no.
See why I'm annoyed?
Unfortunately this is an all too common occurrence and not just with the BBC or English Broadcasting Corporation as I think it really is. I go back to just a few years ago when the BBC was the source of accurate factual unbiased news. Alas no more. Only C4 offers that in the UK or RT and France24 for foreign. At least Fox is honest in its' bias, and I never thought I would say that.
During WW2 the BBC was the voice of hope in occupied Europe. My wifes family lived through it in Belgium and they told me this so its not some urban myth.
Now I look at the EBC flagship in Scotland, Reporting Glasgow, and think is this really the best the country of Adam Smith Charles Rennie Mackintosh and countless others can produce?
There has been no mention I've seen on TV news or indeed in print of the disgraceful goings on in USA where there is a blatant sexist and frankly revolting move to subjugate women to forced vaginal intrusions. I have no idea why these sad old men feel the need to do this and no idea what they hope to gain apart from complete subjugation of women. There has been even less reported of the stupid cow on Fox news who said that women in the armed forces should accept being raped as a hazard of the job or some such.
Failure to report this sort of thing removes knowledge from the population and removes the chance to organise a proper campaign to prevent such abuses.
The fact that this is happening in the supposed Land Of the Free makes it even more unpalatable and even more important to report on.
I saw tweet today which suggested that the TV bosses weren't showing us much of Greece in case we got ideas. What else are they not showing us and by the Lord Harry I'm starting to get ideas.
