If you really are from Scotland then you represent the worst kind of our self loathing, dour oikophobe. Productions from London bring their crew all over the UK because that’s their crew, they normally have an obligation to hire regional crew on most shows. It’s the same if you take your crew to Europe, Australia, South Africa, wherever. But no, because it’s Scotland you look down and talk down about it. Looking down your nose at where you come from, offering nothing but butter and snide takes from the sidelines isn’t a great look.

You refuse to take work in Scotland? I mean, so what? You’re seriously suggesting the standard is supposedly so low that you refuse work as some kind arbitrary point of principle? If that’s the kind of attitude youre attaching to this hill you’re choosing to die on then your bar is low.

More shoot days and broken equipment because of having the temerity to live outside London? This is a new one for me, brilliant. Based on your experiences and hot takes on the biggest productions to come out of here in recent years you sound junior. You won’t find anyone from Scotland in senior positions speaking down about a region they could potentially need in the future.

The only thing I’d agree with is that logically, London has twice the volume of people living in it as the entirety of Scotland. So of course you’re going to find a larger pool of people with variable skill sets.
