Scott McTominay, in spite of his stellar year, was inexplicably excluded from the shortlist for BBC Sports Personality of the Year. Meanwhile the Team of the Year award had a shortlist of three, of which farcically two were teams called "England" - and this in a year when Scotland had won the Men's World Curling Championship. The BBC's use of the annual awards ceremony to push the ideology of Greater England nationalism is not exactly subtle. In the video below, I make a modest proposal for reform of the shortlisting procedure that would guarantee fair Scottish representation - but that of course is not an outcome the BBC are likely to regard as remotely desirable.
Scot Goes Pop: The Final Fundraiser is underway (you can read more about why I anticipate it being the final one HERE) and it's already pretty close to halfway to its target figure of £1700. A million thanks to everyone who has donated so far. Card donations can be made at the GoFundMe page HERE, or if you prefer to cut out the middle-man, direct PayPal donations can be made to my PayPal email address, which is: jkellysta@yahoo.co.uk
Another reason not to pay the colonial broadcaster
