Only STV report Police Scotland officers accept 7% deal

Nowhere at all among the 40 plus reports featured on the BBC Scotland website and absent from the newspaper front pages:

Angela Constance, the Scottish Government’s cabinet secretary for justice and home affairs said, thanked those involved in negotiations for working to achieve the deal

“Our police officers perform an essential role keeping Scotland’s communities safe and this fair pay deal recognises the hard work and valuable contribution they make daily as well as this Government’s commitment to investing in policing,” she said.

“Police Scotland is a vital service, which is why, despite difficult financial circumstances due to UK Government austerity, we have increased police funding year-on-year since 2016-17, investing more than £11.6bn since the creation of Police Scotland in 2013.”

I know many find it hard to accept but STV, by no means perfect, is substantially better than the rest and should be watched and clicked if only to humiliate the others.

      1. Free lobotomy, John. And “guidance” from an alphabet soup outfit.
        Then, if agreed to by Starwars, Drossy and Cauld-Ham you might get in to read out the traffic reports—-“the roads are slow this morning due to underinvestment by they Nat B’tards”.

    Yes but positive news connected to the Scottish government is not news the BBC instinctively wants to promote…..as part of their Pro UK DNA…..it’s #Fail on a loop on all things Scottish related and SNP related that will see votes FOR the Labour party being won here and thus in turn , they HOPE will see losses for the SNP.

    Bad news…..read all about it and watch it and listen to it via their website, BBC Reporting Scotland and GMS.

    Good news…..blackout….on all BBC formats

    Surely you know they have a UNION to save….though as a UNION it appears to sometimes NOT be considered as such…..by some….(obvs us) but too George Foulkes…who was ever so helpful in pointing out that “THE UK is not a “Union of equals” and it was never meant to be”….which contradicted what we were told by David Cameron in 2014 and too via others since then…..confused ?….no problem that is what they want you to be…..also do not think too much…just accept what you are TOLD by the BBC and t’others as being factual and also as being the ONLY ACTUAL real news…..where we are….supposedly…but obviously NOT !

    Mind you #Bad news in England always finds some way, via the BBC, to becoming linked to the SNP and Scotland….no matter how tenuous or erroneous it is as an ACTUAL fact…..or reality…….or even as NEWS !
