To wish the BBC would make it clear what is happening in Scotland

[Aesopfable]

The BBC keeps announcing things for the ‘UK’ when they only apply to England. For example NHS volunteers. AIBU to expect them to make this clear so we know what applies to Scotland and can (in theory) hold the Scottish Government to account?

For example, is Scotland going to get any of the 10,000 new ventilators from Dyson? Has the Scottish Government arranged to take over private beds or is this only happening in England? Why isn’t the mess that is childcare for key workers in Scotland being reported (only nhs, only a few spaces in large central hubs such as secondary schools even for P1 kids, not enough spaces for all front-line nhs workers who need them)? Why did they report schools as possibly not going until September when Scottish schools go back in August?

Scotland has an overinflated ego because of its physical size

Oh. Point taken.

but the difference with scotland is the variety of area's covered by councils. A solution in Highlands and Islands wouldn't work in Greater Glasgow. that's why the councils need more autonomy.

Thanks speakout, you beat me to it.

What's England's excuse?

Thanks for those links, very helpful.

A Scot Nat coronavirus thread.

Lovely.

I'm not sure I follow your logic.

We're currently part of the Union, things like emergency powers are reserved, so the fact it's falling short of your expectations at the moment is somehow a ringing endorsement for the continuation of the Union?
