Anglo Scot Douglas Fraser, business and economy editor (about which he knows very little) at BBC Scotland, called The National, the only pro-independence paper in Scotland, ‘propaganda’ on a Radio 4 programme.
Yes, Scotland having its own broadcasting would be dangerous, to Westminster's control of Scotland. Look at the timeline from when Alex Salmond was being considered for a senior position of the Johnson Press, some 300 publications, including the Scotsman.
Early November 2017
Alex Salmond announces that he will be Chair (?) of Johnson Press. This follows "negotiations" by investor Christen Ager-Hanssen to take control of the Johnson Press board. Therefore would be no secret to those in the know, or having the need to know.
December 2017
Scottish Government start informal contacts with women alleging sexual misconduct by Salmond.
January 2018
Changes to the Scottish Ministerial Code. (changes also to the UK Miniserial Code)
As they say the rest is history, although still ongoing, Alex Salmond is still waiting to have his misfeasance legal case against civil servants heard. It would appear to be a delay. With purpose?
It's a wonder the SNP are in government at all, given the massive odds stacked up against them, and the ofdds stacked up against Scotland in general. I stopped buying 'The National' ages ago when it appeared they were not particularly pro SNP, which surely would make sense given they are supposed to be pro independence, and in fact they seemed to be giving Labour a platform and it was painting them in a somewhat more positive light! So I have thought it's a bit of a Trojan horse really. It's amazing what sort of language, grammer, wording being used can influence people so easily.
I have a book from the 1960's called 'Natural Resources in Scotland', 700+ pages of it, but notice it doesn't say Scotland's resources, because that would indicate ownership. I too have friends and family in England who were so anti SNP in 2014, I remember well, they cr*p they came out with, ''I divvant like that Alic Salmond mind'' , ''what''ll yous do withoot the oil like?'', and sigh, ''you are basing your decision on emotions not facts'', and, ''you just want a utopia!''... some sort of cam eto realise Scotland is shafted but most still believe that England subsidises Scotland. Just send more cash I say, I mean we in Scotland need be kept living in the lifestyle to which we have become aquainted, luxury. Now where's my butler! Bring the Limo Jeeves! These English starff are so lazy you know! ;-)
The BritNat EngGovs' lies, scheming, scamming and thieving is going on right under the noses of the Scottish people. The BritNat English and their dodgy pals' 'media' propaganda assault on Scotland is effective otherwise they would not deploy it.
We all need to get behind the SNP and make sure they do a sterling job at the next election in 2026, otherwise it's back to full on English rule, English breakfast, lunch and dinner, non of your Scotland the brand silly stuff anymore, no Scottish language or culture except a bit of tartan at the tattoo.
North Britain, poor, stupid, and very very tiny, (wee and my will they punish Scotland. I fear there are factions posing as pro 'indy' who stand at elections etc and more will be deployed in 2026 much to the detriment of Scotland.

LOL I should have said, a lifesytle to which we have become accustomed, as the old saying goes, but aquainted is maybe more apt!
