I am planning to catch Dispatches shortly on C4+1 however. It should be quite entertaining.

Impartial clearly doesn't cut the mustard with Bravemouth's cronies. It's just another form of bullying...

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
Scottish Nats hate the BBC. They tried to make a big deal out of a protest at BBC Scotland which didn't actually amount to much. Some of them even thought the constant use of 'British' is show titled was the BBC trying to influence the vote.

The outcome was that, with everything considered, in twenty years time Scotland will have a similar economy to the UK at best if it is a yes vote.
At worst, Scottish people will be slightly worse off, but not by much.

Alex Salmond "Personally called the chairman of the SFE to discourage him from publishing a critical report on independence".

It's really hitting the Nat fan now.

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
If Bravemouth gets his way I can see there being an awful lot of very upset Scots when the inevitable happens and the truth about what's gone on starts to be revealed. Of course it'll be too late to do anything about it then, just like it was when the truth about Bliar's WMD's finally came out.
What the SNP says about 'welcoming all views on independence' and how it actually reacts to those views are 2 very different things.

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
So, let me get this straight. The SNP welcomes all views on independence as long as you agree that it is a good idea. If you express ideas to the contrary, you are wrong, and if you provide evidence to back up your conclusion that independence is in some way wrong, you are bullying them?

And no politicians on the panel, by the looks of it. Might make a nice change.

It'll feature "campaigners for both sides from a wide variety of occupations".

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
Oops. Remember how Alex 'I'm right, you're wrong' Salmond has been banging on about an independent Scotland immediately giving up a chunk of its independence by walking into the EU on its terms? It seems like the new EU boss has other ideas.
It's even funnier as a week ago they were hailing him as the greatest thing ever as he would be more receptive to iScotland and it's EU plans. Awkward.

Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
No EU, possibly no Pound.... doesn't sound like something I would vote for if I were a Scot....
