BBC Scotland today, as anger and despair flood England and Wales, have nothing to remind Scots it’s no better here, so insert a story on high winds in Orkney and Shetland (not exactly news there), imply that’s Scotland more widely and then use a Reuters image of flooding (not happening anywhere in Scotland) somewhere in the English North or Midlands where the ANW personalised number plate will be a popular choice.

BBC Scotland also had a snide piece about the Queensferry Crossing which had been temporarily closed due to ice on cables. It was based around an interview with Fiona Hyslop who had been explaining what the bridge management team had done. However, the article was constructed to imply that she was finding excuses. Surprisingly, it did not have a comment by a unionist ‘slamming’ the closure.
It was a non-story. Large bridges everywhere are temporarily closed on occasion due to weather conditions.

Despite no weather horror stories to divulge BBC Scot did as usual manage to conjure up a couple of SNP baaad headlines this morning to keep the pot boiling. They never miss a trick.
