At the end of the day Scotland is part of the UK (and certainly has more in common with the rest of us than Northern Ireland) so the flagship UK bulletin should be broadcast there. The fact that the BBC aren’t willing to stand up to the SNP and tell them that Scottish licence payers are paying for exactly the same service as the rest of us and therefore will receive exactly the same amount of local content is the only reason for BBC Scotland existing.

It's not longer the flagship it once was. Yes Scotland is part of the UK, however when the top story is NHS, Education etc it has No uses to anyone in Scotland.

BBC can't stand up to SNP or anyone in Scotland because of the utter dismissal and disgraceful manner over the 2014 Ref, The amount of distrust between them is growing by the day. Did the Beep really think this new channel would help build bridges? especial when no one wanted it.

The BBC should be providing a news service that is useful to everyone, and not a box ticking Exercise, and if people really want this, then tough it what people should get, BBC is here for the public and not for its self interests.
