Here we go again.

This may be considered too petty of me by some people but for me it seems a tad suspicious, strange and also knowing how the BBC works in Scotland, in them often misinforming us in Scotland, then this also seems deliberate as an action by them.

So what am I referring to?

Well I noted this on the BBC website.

BBC website has the exact same article on their UK main page, NI main page and Scotland main page but not on the England main page.

Headline “Titanic shipyard to go into administration”

So why on NI main page ?

Well the Titanic was built in Belfast, NI.

So why on UK page ?

Well NI part of the UK.

So why on Scotland main page ?

Well apparently the “Shipbuilding company Harland and Wolff” has an operation in “Methil and Arnish in Scotland“

However they also have an operation in “Appledore in England” according to this BBC article yet the BBC, via their website, don’t see it as necessary to put this same article/story on the England main page.

So at a glance if one did not open this article on the main Scotland page in order to read the article fully.

But instead one only saw the headline on the main Scotland page then you may have incorrectly assumed that this was down to some ‘failure’ or ‘lack of support’ by the Scottish government. As in them not protecting or helping a business within Scotland when it was in trouble and one with an iconic connection too as in the tragic story of the sunken ship the Titanic.

I mean if this Shipbuilding company has connections throughout the UK as a state. (excluding Wales).

Also connections in NI as a country

Also one connection in Scotland as a country .

But then also one connection in England too as a country .

Then surely the same article by the BBC should have been on all of the respective main pages for all countries within the UK with a connection to “Harland and Wolff” ?

Also as stated above the headline refers to the Titanic and everyone knows it was a ship that was built in Belfast so did the BBC really need to put the exact same story on the Scotland main page when the only actual ‘Scottish connection’ was that the company who built the Titanic, Harland & Wolff, also had an operation in one place in Scotland ?

(However that , as a situation, was applicable too for England yet it seems, for the BBC , it was not deemed by them as being either applicable or important to place the same article on the English main page for the English connection to Harland & Wolff).

So the content of the article states that ” non-core operations are being wound down” and “process had already started with the closure of its Scilly Isles (Cornish coast) ferry service before sailing had even begun”.

The article also noted that “The company said the administration process will be confined to the holding company, Harland & Wolff Group Holdings plc, and the operational companies which run the yards are expected to continue trading”

This is a pattern of behaviour with the BBC where they try to hide any ‘English’ connection in case it reflects badly upon them or perhaps the BBC also see the UK as being synonymous with England.

On the other hand I think there is no perhaps about it !
