STV have finally decided to share video footage of the trashing of George Square.
This afternoon it was revealed that £58,000 had been paid out so far on damage and repairs caused by 15,000 Covidiots descending on the city to demonstrate their hatred of Catholics.
Despite having a major news story effectively on their doorstep STV, BBC Scotland and Sky News decided against sending camera crews to the scene. Nightly they have been showing almost live coverage of the conflict in Gaza but it seems that showing scenes turning Glasgow into a war zone was off limits.

Among the items damaged are statues to Queen Victoria and Prince Albert with irony apparently lost on the loyalist gangs that turned Glasgow city centre into a no-go zone.
The plinth on the Queen Victoria statue is now unstable with the costs of repair still to be established.
Last summer many Unionists guarded those statues fearing attacks from Black Life Matters protestors.
The Scottish Tory party has yet to comment on the damage done to Glasgow city centre 10 days ago.
