I have a weak stomach and an aversion to rats, wee ones especially, so I won’t be.
Anyhow, I, none of us, need to hear their unconvincing lies. We already know:
Researchers have found that heavy consumption of negative news triggers the release of stress hormones and consequent increases in anxiety [i], [ii], [iii]. Studies of voting patterns have found that those with a ‘negativity bias’ derived from fear and anxiety about the world they live in, have a tendency to vote for conservative political groups promising to prevent change [iv], [v], [vi].
The implications of this for Scotland’s independence vote are clear to me and, I feel sure, to BBC Scotland’s senior staff. The lesser staff who made the ‘documentary’ are unlikely to consciously have this clear underlying purpose articulated but, under pressure to please those who have control over their income and their careers, semi-consciously make choices of what to include and how to present it, and ‘work toward them.’ Lesser mortals in Communist Russia, Nazi Germany or in Trump’s USA, did/do the same.

It’s all being logged. If I were one of these BBC wankstains I’d be far more worried about what’s going to happen to them after independence.

War 2. 26million Russians died. Defending the West. Britain 1/2million dued. France 1/2 died.
Russia made the most sacrifice. Stalingrad etc. Germans got stuck by the Russian winter. 75% of the German military died in War.
Russia can/will protect its borders. 2014 Agreement broken to get nuclear missiles away from Russian borders.
US taxpayers money is being laundered through Ukraine back to the US crooked administration and arms dealers.
There has been no elections in UK to get rid of Zelensky and the warmongers making billions from keeping the strife going.
What Burnham is doing there keeping it going. To send redundant weaponry there and exacerbating the whole problem. Burnham should be keeping out of it. Instead of indulging in war. Labour’s illegal wars causing death and destruction. Labour just love a wsr to take attention from their failure, to do anything right.

People in Scotland no longer watch or listen to the bbc in Scotland anymore, & even the few that still do will be consuming it less & less after the latest round of sackings.
It has no future while broadcasting is a reserved matter.

Council elections next year – BBC doing their bit to try to reclaim Glasgow for the Labour party.
First step of this BBC propaganda operation being the message that – Glasgow is S**** under the SNP council.
(The BBC forgetting that it, Glasgow , was not , indeed was never, miles better under the Labour party).
They, the BBC, are also forgetting it is not those who support and vote for the SNP who are , at times, causing the types of problems the BBC filmed in Glasgow in their BBC mockumentary.
Let the Glaswegians decide next year in the Council elections (some who support a certain football team will have already decided and their voting decisions will never be based upon anything but the protestant religion, their slavish allegiance to the English Crown and their slavish allegiance to the British State – as in all of the same ones who looks down upon them for who they are and what they represent).
You cannot argue with stupid nor with those whose illogical and irrational conclusions are reached via (little) thinking that , as (wrong) conclusions, have nowt to do with anything but (literally) simple bigotry.
