7 stories about Phil. How will BBC Wales do?
5, 5! It’s a disgrace.
Northern Ireland! Many of them are loyal:
5! They’ll get getting another border if they’re not careful.
England?
6? Good god man! He lives there. Don’t they remember him nearly running many of them down?
Great Britain? Surely. He was in the Navy fighting his German cousins for us.
6 again. The Jocks win! Murdo Fraser must be so proud.
Talking-up Scotland 'Albatraz' 
The BBC is bound by their charter to punt British nationalism, which is in most jeopardy of being rejected in Scotland. So I think there’s actually a rational basis for the regionalism of their boak inducing toadying.

Not that I’m suggesting civic republicanism is without its own limitations, as it can be prone to overlooking “losers’ principles”, in order to support unity of purpose. Which kind of undermines its democratic credentials. Though these aren’t insurmountable obstacles to rational and democratic constitutionalism.

I wonder how many minutes or hours or years of silence it would take to pay respect to the 130,000 dead in the UK from Covid19, many of who died because the British Nationalists sitting in Westminster ignored the science, and allowed herd immunity without a vaccine, and, horrifically, have even cashed in on the tradegy. I am not religious at all, but if evil is a thing, anyone benefitting, making money from the deaths of 100’s of thousands to a deadly virus, surely mimics evil on a grand scale.

I read somewhere that BBC Scotland news and current affairs was now vetted by London before transmission.
True? I have no idea, but nothing about this abysmal broadcaster would surprise.
