This goes beyond the music though.... whatever your view of the 'four nations' nature of the United Kingdom this deliberate action is removing access to the NATIONAL radio stations of Wales and Scotland to anyone resident outside the UK as well as UK regional stations! What remains of this music in Scotland like the longlived 'Saturday night 'Take The Floor' programme will be seriously missed by many thousands of dewy-eyed Scottish folk living in Canada, Australia etc. But such an act of vandalism is all too typical of BBC contempt for anything non-English- music, literature or politics. Radio 4 will cover all aspects of culture, of course, as viewed from London. what a bunch of cultural vandals they are
