Frail 99 year old dies shock. These news channels seem to forget that a very large portion of the population find the Royals irrelevant. They got the flags to half mast quicker than they did when Diana died though.
Fair to say I can take them or leave them. Ok, leave them.
Even the EBC Alba channel was hijacked mate,now fair enough if ONE EBC channel was used for 24,48 or even 72 hours for blanket coverage i think many would accept that but for every outlet to be used was way OTT.
London took over their Radio Scotland channel and subjected my country to broadcasters from the south of England with plums in their mouths for the whole day and night.
I sent a text to 80295(Radio Scotland text number)to ask if there had been a coup from a foreign power,anyone expecting impartiality from the EBC in future events only need to look at 2014 and the death of HRH to see we are never gonna get it.
