Politically motivated terrorism in Scotland?

People in council offices in Angus had to evacuate as a suspicious package was found that had a letter claiming there was anthrax inside and said "get SNP out, Tories in". This came a day after a suspicious package which contained crystals which were intended to alarm people was found in an SNP MP's constituency office. Nothing yet to say there was any anthrax but still horrible to even threaten something like that. Can't help but think it would be plastered over BBC news had it been an SNP supporter doing this to the Tories but no mention of it so far.

Some but I wouldn't say they're a party that represents them.

Imagine if it had been a Muslim. Or an SNP supporting Muslim. The Daily Mail would be writing articles about 'common threads' between Scottish nationalism and Isis.

This is the first I have heard of it though and o follow political news.

It's not even a case of what's more juicy. I'm not saying the stabbing shouldn't be reported. Why just one though? They've had plenty of time to report this.

@thatscottishguy: The stabbing was just the end of it. He drove through loads of pedestrians first.

That's awful but still no excuse for not covering something horrible just because it's election time and the Tories could look bad.

BBC is corrupt as hell thats why. I dont watch it at all now. RT is still mainstream but atleast they show stuff unlike BBC Channel 4 -5 etc.

Much more likely to be a rogue SNP supporter trying to do down the Tories, on the face of it.

@MartinII: Possible (wouldn't say it's more likely) but I'd like to think they wouldn't go to that length just to make the opposition look bad.
