Scotland’s gutter press sink slowly into a sheuch like the ones being dug around Nethy Bridge

Above at 9.52pm last night, Police Scotland tell the bitter-for-some truth about the Cairngorm wildfire.

Undeterred, 12 hours later, the schadenfreude lot in the newspapers reporting Scotland badly are still telling the news that’s no longer of any use to you, helping to remind you why they’re all going down a sheuch like the ones being dug around Nethy Bridge.

Isn’t it not sad. The weather has rained on their parade

  1. I not that when Scotland is being told ( by the English Media ) to ask for help from the UK Military , it is phrased as if we in Scotland were NOT entitled to use their services , even though we pay through the nose for them !

    It is suggested that the UK Military being used is , somehow , an act of Charity from the UK /England to us poor Scots rather than an entitlement .

  2. BBC Scotland updated their website about 3 pm with a quote from Wee Dougie that he’s “worked at speed” with the Defence Secretary:

    Defence Secretary Wes Streeting said Chinook helicopters were available to “provide heavy-lifting capacity” and that standby battalion personnel were “ready to deploy to provide additional numbers on the ground”.

    Of course, the military don’t have trained pilots to use bambi buckets so the SFRS is rightly using private hires. There aren’t many trained pilots in the UK who can do this.

    As to the battalions standing by – same problem – training, equipment, access to the site all required. The SFRS already have the trained staff, c 6,000 on standby.
