Frankly no. Our world view is not the same as the rest of the the UK. The BBC has a prism, this is very different from Scottish values. Countless internal BBC reports show how of all the nations in the UK, Scotland least likes the BBC. About 45% of the audience are positive about the BBC. Media isn't devolved, they've refused for years to have more broadcasting in Scotland.
If Westminster had been flexible and allowed federalism, we would not be where we are today, facing the breakup of the UK
