The BBC's assault on Glasgow should concern everyone in Scotland. The city is collateral damage just as everything in Scotland is when it comes to politics and the BritNats. The constant caricaturing of Scotland as inferior, a mess and in permanent crisis needs to be called out.

BBC Scotland's playbook isn't difficult to spot these days. Anything that *can* be politicised *will* be politicised. "Has there been any political reaction?" you'll often hear the sock-puppet presenter ask as the reporter reels off the BritNat attack quotes.

Lifting smear stories from BritNat newspapers is also increasing [Swinney air travel, Flynn emails etc] as is the exploitation of people who've encountered tragic misfortune and who, understandably, want someone to blame.

There's no sleight of hand any more as reporters and presenters alike brazenly push political agendas, treat trade unions as though charitable organisations without political links to Labour and conceal the political background of 'impartial' guests.

BBC BritNat once again politicising an NHS story by platforming a Unionist party. Multiple negative NHS England stories this past week, some scandalous, yet not one politicised by the BBC. Why is the BBC allowed to operate a political editorial policy in Scotland?
