Reposted as BBC Scotland wrongly claim Scot Gov was ‘forced to buy Ardrossan harbour because new ferries were too big’ rather than because owners had neglected it:

As the deal is done to buy Ardrossan harbour, how these Tory ministers sold it to enable shareholders to milk rather than to maintain it, how Labour then did nothing and now the SNP Government is blamed for not buying it back and repairing it quick enough?

  2. Accuracy is probably not one of BBC Scotland’s assets.

    Still, for £180 a year or whatever its costs these days, you can be lied to daily and then threatened with Enforcement Officers / Investigations / £1000 fine / Red envelopes etc, should you ever dare to leave the “Much Cherished by 92% of Britain* etc,” TV licence scam.

  3. Similar situation at Burntisland. A local firm wants to buy it and develop it. Forth Ports have never invested in the place and won’t sell.
