BBC Scotland's 'Worried Mum' is really a paid up member of the Tory Party

THE BBC in Scotland have been rumbled again. Not content to be skewing the news, presenting the Scottish Govt's decision to continue free school meals throughout the summer as Scotland following the UK's lead, instead of just reporting the news as it was, that; the Scottish Government had already publicly committed itself to delivering that policy before the UK government were forced into yet another embarrassing U turn.

That aside, the BBC also ran with a story about a 'worried mum' anxious about the First Minister's timetable for coming out of lockdown and letting kids back to school. No one doubts that this lady may well have been 'worried', as the rest of us are - in the teeth of a global pandemic - or that she is indeed a 'mum', what the BBC so sleekitly declined to mention is that this 'worried mum' is also a card carrying member of the Scottish Tory Party.

Alison Payne even ran in an election for the Tories where she tried to cut herself out a career as a councillor under the name Alison Miller. 

She was beaten by the SNP, the object of her now apparent frustration. All of this is completely legit and above board. What isn't, is the BBC's attempts to signpost the public, by building a news-piece around an apparently politically neutral member of the public, when she is anything but. It begs the question; why?
