What a horrible thing for her to say.

It was reported in exactly the same way on Good Morning Britain. They must coordinate their attacks on Scotland.

It certainly feels like that.

You'll never hear this on the news anywhere.
Not that things are perfect, but rarely do Scots get told that as bad as things can be, it could be worse, and if you give those in Westminster more power, you'll soon find out, first hand.

Seems that the BBC in Scotland is determined that we finish the year on a miserable note 👇

Was just the same on the Greatest Hits Radio Dumfries news report. Jackie Baillie telling outrageous lies about the service and undoubtedly instilling fear into vulnerable and cared for people. A truly vile woman. The sooner we get rid of these parasites the better.

There is absolutely no science behind their ludicrous claim that for every xxx no. of people who wait over 8 hours at A&E, y no. of people will die so the whole argument is flawed.

Science actually says that every person who visits A&E will die. When they die is pure speculation

BBC Scotland...lying for England!

In Northern Ireland we just ignore it all. Our waiting lists are the longest too but we’re “consulting” on what to do about it.

Waiting times for A&E in Scotland are consistently significantly better than the rest of the UK according to ONS figures, but that will not stop BBC Scotland News presenting its distorted reporting.

The clue is in the name
BBC
British Broadcasting
Corporation.
It's not working for Scotland.

Desperate stuff from the propagandists. Never, ever do BBC Scotland try in any way to contextualise the situation of the NHS with the policies of Westminster over several decades. Acting for the parties who did the damage. This is well worth a read: https://www.londonreviewbookshop.co.uk/stock/britain-is-better-than-this-gavin-esler
