Oh, OK, I admit it, I only got a C2 for the infant stage in West Quarter Primary School (1980?) after the class accused me of cheating on caterpillar/butterfly metamorphosis, but I then got a B+ with the ‘big yins’ (11 year-olds) in Bantaskine, before going on to great success in Stirling, corrupting young minds in the school football team with the cynical Italian ‘Catennacio’ defensive system.

That is he, who is a much favoured guest of the BBC Scotland news teams, as one whose (far too) many regular contributions into #SNPBAD education stories have now become a very nasty habit adopted by both him and BBC Scotland.

A nasty habit via him being constantly platformed as a supposed, but clearly not , ‘impartial expert’ on various BBC Scotland news platforms.

Mind you he is not alone as a BBC #SNPBAD ‘expert’ whose opinion is favoured by the BBC.

As apparently they, BBC Scotland news team, seem unable to find any alternate opposing ‘expert’ opinions from that of their usual guest ‘experts’ , that is the ones that they ALWAYS platform on their various BBC news outlets who love to declare #SNPBAD.

As it seems that (according to the BBC) all ‘experts’ within Scotland who work in different fields within Scotland , all seem to hate, berate, accuse, attack , berate , scold and mostly only target the SNP as the Scottish government, yet they as the ‘go to’ BBC ‘experts’ within Scotland appear to have no similar sentiments, emotions and opposition towards all other political parties, either as political parties or as governments within the UK State.

Mind you it is not restricted to just ‘Experts’ , as the BBC also loves to platform news stories via mostly pro UK newspapers who also seem to hate the SNP.

Today the BBC Scotland’s news X account posted this in reference to a headline in the Sunday Herald on 13 September 2026:

“Scotland’s papers: Salmond files ‘withheld‘ and Reform £72m ‘war chest’

This was in relation to the (SNP) Ministers being accused of “trying to block the release of the Salmond files”.

Yet the same BBC Scotland news failed to post, publish and so promote that the Labour UK government refused to release files (also known as “withholding” and so “blocking files“) in respect to “a Israeli firm accused of interfering in Scotland’s 2026 Holyrood election” .

See that is the BBC yet again being very selective in what they choose to promote and also choose to ignore (and also in the language that they choose to use within their articles and reports).

As that language that they , the BBC, use in their articles and reports is often actually intended to cast doubt on the validity of certain stories that would show the SNP as being the targets of partisan attacks and hostility.

So then the BBC regularly try to promote only certain opinions as being credible that they , the BBC, thinks would show the SNP in a bad light.

However the reality is that they are just opinions , all sourced from those who are well known as being vehemently opposed to the SNP.

They as individual , media and political opinions are also via those same people known to be vehemently opposed to Scottish independence as well .

So clearly as those who are against the SNP and against Scottish independence then one should expect the BBC to be challenging the honesty and validity of their (hostile) opinions , as in those opinions that constantly criticise and so oppose everything and anything done by the SNP as the Scottish government.

(However the BBC in Scotland are also included in those whose opinions are always seen to be those that criticise and so oppose the SNP upon everything and anything that they do as the Scottish government).

BBC Scotland news is not journalism not reporting but IMHO (Ha Ha) it is pure unadulterated propaganda.
