🚨 Weather Warnings issued ⚠️ BBC Scotland has upgraded the weather warning to Code S. I repeat, this is a Code S storm warning. 📣 Seek shelter and deploy stock imagery of Scotrail in the Salty Sea Spray at Saltcoats. 🌧️🌊🚃

Scottish journalistic stock imagery can be so predictably lazy. Property prices? Looking up the hill at Comely Bank tenements. Child poverty? Two kids who are now in their forties walking past a boarded up council house that was demolished in the nineties.

They don’t have staff photographers any more. It’s all PA or archive. Soon it will be journalists, if it isn’t already. Folk don’t pay for newspapers or to bypass paywalls.. this is what we get.
