One of the more concerning matters on this is that the BBC, for some reason, are choosing not to report on this at all. Gone are the days when the BBC were the most trusted and reputable news source. http://www.bbc.com/news/scotland

Meh. Its not clear to me this is news - its secondary reporting about an Intercept article that doesn't appear on the intercept front page nor on any other Scottish newspaper.
And it's not even the main theme of the Intercept article, which focuses far more on the intelligence agencies collecting far more data than they actually had the capability to use and failing to read harvested emails of identified suspects. https://theintercept.com/2016/06/07/mi5-gchq-digint-surveill...
I am not surprised at all. The BBC is the voice of the UK Government more or less.
