Now Scottish Yessers are on the same side as Donald Trump

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

47% : A perfect storm of editorial failure and external pressure has cost the BBC its most senior leaders, but we should not lose sight of the fact that it is one of the few national institutions that makes our country better, writes Herald columnist Carlos Alba If history is written by the victors, then our great, great grandchildren may well be taught that the economic miracle of 21st century Britain started with Brexit; that the paradise tax haven of Gaza used to be inhabited by displaced Palestinians; and that, at one time, some people actually believed in the great climate change hoax, before any mention of it was officially banned by the Dear Leader, President Barron Trump III. Other factors influence our understanding of the past, however, including data-driven trends and, more crucially, the perspective of time.
42% : Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova specifically targeted the BBC's well-documented coverage of Russian atrocities in Bucha, where UN and human rights groups have revealed evidence of summary executions and torture.
40% : Welcoming the departure of Davie and Turness, a statement issued by the Israeli Foreign Ministry said: "The resignation of the BBC director general underscores the deep-seated bias that has long characterised the BBC's coverage of Israel.
37% : Good, for example, if you're the head of a firm that supplies arms to Israel; bad if you are Tim Davie or Deborah Turness. Back in January 2021, it would not have been particularly outlandish to suggest that the outgoing US President, Donald Trump, offered some encouragement to his supporters to march on the Capitol in Washington DC.
37% : As well as Trump - who is no great fan of any publicly funded institution - other BBC haters include the governments of Israel, Russia, China and North Korea.
27% : I recently watched, with bemusement, the anchor of a conservative news channel seriously demanding a congressional investigation into the failure of an escalator at the UN headquarters in New York, just as Donald and Melania Trump were about to board it.
