THE BBC has come under fire for presenting an arch-Unionist former Labour minister with an “axe to grind” against the SNP without revealing his party affiliation in a critical report about ferries.
Brian Wilson, a Scotland Office minister in Tony Blair’s government, was presented as a “former MP and Scottish Secretary” - though he never held that title - with no mention of his membership of the Unionist party or his involvement with anti-independence groups.
