It wis tried afore - there wis a spell in the aerlie tae mid nineties
whan a fair amoont o pressure wis pitten on the BBC tae stairt a
richt service o prorgrammes in Scots.

It didna mak onie odds. Whit we hae tae mind is that BBC Scotland isna
there tae meet its listeners' needs, bit tae serve as a media ootlat
for the British establishment. Masel, A canna see thon cheingin
afore Scotland's governance is back tae normal agane.

Guidwull tae awbodie,

Colin Wilson.
