Had to post this for the article quality alone, as it is something else.
Not only does the title of the article suggest that these issues in Edinburgh are the problem of national governemnt rather than the City Council (as was clearly stated when this issue happened in Glasgow during COP26), but not *once* does it mention that Edinburgh City Council is *a Labour run council*. So it’s an SNP council failing in Glasgow, but an SNP government failing in Edinburgh. Gotcha.
After Labour wrested power of this Council from the SNP through a deal with the Tories, the SNP were ousted, yet are now responsible for the council’s failings? The Scottish Government has made the funding available for some time now to help the council deliver 5%, so why is their no single mention whatsoever of the massive and immediate failures of Labour in Council leadership?
Yet another example of the naked propaganda that I don’t think a lot of people truly understand runs so deeply through Scottish media. Articles by Sky and the BBC both do the exact same thing.
And folk wonder why some Scots get angry at journalists…
So the dispute with the local authority is some how a Sturgeon matter?
So not Ben Macpherson was appointed Minister for Social Security and Local Government.
Surprised the local authority have not asked for the military yet.
That’s the point, she never governs, she just wants indy so she can be the Queen of Scotland.
