hunchy Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Good to see the BBC keeping there impartiality. Right before the rugby tonight the show an advert for an coming drama which uses Jerusalem as its audio. Wonder what they will show before the Scotland game?

irnbruman Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 This rugby match has been hyped beyond belief by the BBC. Will probs end up like most rugby union matches these days - like watching paint dry wwhile they all play British Bulldogs. Give me rugby league any day.

In what possible way was the use of Jerusalem in that advert pro-England? Did you even SEE the advert? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irnbruman Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 They should have played Jerusalem before last night's Question Time - would have been quite appropriate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mariokempes56 Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Newsnight / bbc englandshire..... magna carta.....oooh. Its pretty much at the stage now, post referendum, that they can just talk about education/ NHS /law etc without even bothering to say "English' first. Virtually no mention of Scotland having a different system. They really think it doesn't matter now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exile Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 By the way, an Andrew Marr documentary on, right now, Scotland and the Battle for Britain. (Not saying it's biased... ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Not saying it's biased... ) Thought it was pretty fair and even handed tbh. Nice wee dig at New Labour not blaming themselves towards the end. That said, its clearly made for a UK rather than a Scottish audience and it was a bit of a "Scottish Politics for Dummies". Nothing particularly wrong with that and something that is probably overdue, saves me trying to explain for the umpteenth time to people in England that "what happened to Labour?" didn't start or end with Better Together. Kind of reminded me of when the Curling team get to the finals of the Olympics and Dougie Donnelly has to go "for those of you unfamiliar with curling, let me run the rules one more time" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exile Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 (edited) Well I'd missed the beginning, so still not sure what the programme is for, who its for, what the title means. It seemed like a potted history of Scottish politics since the 60s but not sure what the 'Battle for Britain' means. It seemed reasonably balanced (though not mentioning the McCrone report). For me the most obvious omission (other than omitting Maggie visiting Hampden) was immediately fast-forwarding from 2007 SNP victory to 2011. As if Scottish domestic politics and SNP performance in government is of no interest to Marr. The real test of any 'bias' will be next time, how (if) they handle BBC/Pacific Quay and how (if) he covers the George Square 'riot' Oh and another thing, I'll be interested to see if it attempts to explain why the SNP surged after the 2014 referendum but not the 1979 one. I don't think anyone has ever explained that. People just seem to assume, 'obviously' after the failure of 79, support dipped, whereas equally 'obviously' after the failure of 2014, support surged.

Indeed, and Labour's vote in Scotland increased by 20% at the 1979 General Election to 1.2 million where it roughly remained until 2001, the main exception being 1983 where the SDP skewed all the trends.
