No mention of the Scottish dimension though - what a surprise.Richard Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17225331967587897653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1638916042737526171.post-2848429631309407092009-06-08T14:57:55.435+01:002009-06-08T14:57:55.435+01:00You are right there Richard.

As I said to Will last night, the London media are naturally most interested in the Anglocentric BNP MEP and Labour-Party-Gnashing-of-Teeth angles. <br /><br />Which is fine. The vast majority of their audience are apt to share that focus of interest. Nevertheless, in the Dimbleby coverage yesterday, I detected a continuing insistence on the "dominating" Westminster narrative, if you like, and not much interest in divergent trends in a Scots context. <br /><br />Indeed, they seemed more excited about the Tory gubbing of Labour in Wales than the arguably more incendiary implications of continuing Nationalist progress in Scotland. Particularly for those stitched through with Unionist threads.<br /><br />In so doing, they're arguably missing out on an interesting phenomenon.Lallands Peat Worrierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07238432265194046726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1638916042737526171.post-50776840424456695812009-06-08T12:56:20.292+01:002009-06-08T12:56:20.292+01:00There's a point that I haven't seen picked...There's a point that I haven't seen picked up anywhere yet - that in contrast to Englandshire, Scotland has voted for parties committed to Europe (with varying degrees of enthusiasm admittedly)Richard Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17225331967587897653noreply@blogger.com
