They really are getting desperate aren't they.

I've been having some fun lately arguing with the cybernats on the Herald website over the ridiculous stooshie they've been trying to whip up over last week's edition of Question Time. They actually seem to think that when the programme is recorded in Scotland, the only elected individuals on the panel should be elected to serve in Scotland, and if independence is likely to come up as a question, the panel should be constituted half and half unionists and separatists.

The Greens are particularly aggrieved because they have a Holyrood seat or two and Nigel Farage doesn't. The Lib Dems are also annoyed, because 'Gorgeous' George Galloway got the other seat on the panel and they didn't. Not that I've heard them moaning when they've been left out of a panel during a recording made in England, which does happen from time to time.

The SNP are whinging because that's all they can do, now each and every one of their arguments for separation has been debunked. Apparently they think that it would be good editorial policy for the BBC to stack a Question Time guest panel, for an edition to be broadcast to the entire UK, based on one political issue that will be decided within Scotland, rather than acknowledging the programme is made for a UK audience and has to have a panel that reflects the broader views of society as a whole.
