Last week the BBC said they thought the Words English and British were irritating so they preferred to promote Scotland and Scottish. This week we find the BBC is going one step further in showing their contempt for England and the English by starting to use a system that lets them award contracts to companies that would guarantee to employ staff from Scotland at the expense of English staff who they would replace.
It has been reported in the Times that English members of the crew producing the world snooker championship in Sheffield for the BBC lost their jobs because they came from England. Under a system introduced by the BBC that favoured staff being employed from North of the Border the company IMG was forced under breach of contract to employ people from Scotland. Workers from Scotland were sent to England and put up in hotels while specialists who had produced the two week tournament for several years were told they could not have the work. Apparently the BBC also used to employ local students as runners to make tea etc. but the company is now bringing down people from Scotland and paying in turn for them to stay in expensive hotel rooms.
This is an utter disgrace and had it have been the other way round Alex would be banging on the door of No 10 Downing Street
