Above, one of the earliest reports drooling over the possibility of bin strikes to cast the SNP in a poor light.
Since then:
Yesterday 40 plus days later, still headlining the same images:
When they settle, how many reports will we get?
BBC Scotland milk the maybe bin strikes for more than 40 days and 40 nights as we head for the unions accepting the SNP-funded offer
Talking-up Scotland 'Albatraz' 
It’s like a repeat from two years ago, Liebour Council leader using bin strikes for political gain against SNP Gov

And, that photo which is of rubbish outside EDINBURGH Council offices appears on the GLASGOW page of the BBC Scotland Website.
Last week despite no rioting in Scotland, BBC Scotland headed a piece about the fact that rioting had not taken place in Scotland with a photo of rioting in ROTHERHAM. Today, an article about why there have been no riots in Scotland is headed with a photo of a burning citizens’ advice office in SUNDERLAND. Later it has a photo of rioting in LIVERPOOL.
Are they desperate for rioting in Scotland? Will they sponsor the EDL to do something?

The BBC that operates in Scotland platform Farage and his nasty sidekicks every chance they get.
The BBC in Scotland “manages and manipulates” the news to portray pro-independence Scots in as bad a light as they can.
And we pay for it.

‘Above, one of the earliest reports drooling over the possibility of bin strikes to cast the SNP in a poor light’.
it’s not just the media casting the ScotsGov in a poor light, bad actors working in Scotland’s public bodies are ‘at it’ 24/7.
take the parole board, releasing murderers early, who go on to murder again.
£16mill spent on a flood defence scheme for Brechin, less than 10 years ago, overcome last year.
just a couple of examples, but there’s lots more available.

I very much doubt if even the folk who live in Brechin could have foreseen the force of this last flooding. 4.4 metres above normal is an unbelievable amount of water.

other options for Brechin were available but blocked by the experts advising the ScotsGov.
£12million has also been spent on a flood defence scheme for the Brothock Burn in Arbroath, when much cheaper other options were available.
now the same experts are turning their attention to the crisis at Montrose, and they wont even admit the leading cause of the problem.
the ScotsGov being led up the garden path by these so called experts, what could possibly go wrong.

If we’re getting into prevention then let’s not just settle on the current Scottish Government. The erosion at Montrose beach was brought to various councillors over the past 50 odd years. None of them listened when locals and experts told them of the trouble that was storing up. They went ahead, against advice, and filled in the river for the oil companies. They’ve dredged the harbour to facilitate bigger boats. They took 100,000 tonnes of dredged sand from our beach and sent it to save Aberdeen. Now, some may say climate change is responsible and I dare say some of the blame lies there but there’s no doubt in my mind that the crisis has been exacerbated by human obstinacy and stupidity.

you’re absolutely right,
the CREW report being used by Angus Council, into the erosion at Montrose beach does not mention the creation of the deep water port or the never ending maintenance dredging it takes to keep it open for business.
All this vital information has been left out of the report, how can Angus Council get it right if they’re being misled by ScotsGov advisors?
like I said it’s not only the MSM, there are many Bad Actors working for advisory bodies, making the ScotsGov look stupid and incompetent.

BBCFromWhereWeAre this morning (I had the sound muted) had footage of piles of rubbish somewhere subsequently followed by footage of a ferry.
BBCFromWhereWeAre need to get out more. Working from home all the time – or Pathetic Quay as we prefer to call it – and relying on Unionist sources only for their ‘headline news’ is obviously proving bad for their mental health.

You know it’s par for the BBC. Take, for instance, ferries, education, policing, NHS, and countless other things that they could actually put a more positive spin on but do not. I’m not suggesting they should lie but, surely, there’s a better way to report news in your own country? We are told comparison with Westminster is irrelevant but the very people using that argument are those who wish to close HR down.

Montrose harbour has benefitted from more activities. More work opportunities and prosperity in Montrose due to the increased activity at Montrose harbour.
Trade unions fund the Labour Party. Fund illegal wars, financial fraud and tax evasion, Trident, redundant weaponry, HS2, Hinkley Point, migration crisis, Brexit etc, etc. All a massive waste of time and monies.
Then trade unions demand people in Scotland pay more tax and the SNP Gov fund higher wages and benefits. Trade unions funding Labour. Total hypocrites. They are funding the cause of the wars and waste. Then do not empty the bins. Creating more waste. They would get more wages and revenues by stop funding the Labour Party and supporting Independence and the Scottish Gov.
