The author has a massive monk on doesn't he? It's a sporting event for cripes sake! If anyone got to the end of his you'll recognise this - 'In September we have the opportunity to hold Britain to account, to reject its string-pulling, patronising, interfering, and its cultural neglect. We can live, and grow, do away with all the cringe, doubt, and embarrassment. Most importantly, we can tell a story of our own making to the world' No bias in that piece then? Roll on September.

[LY_Scott]

Haha. Alright. Simmer down at the back. Its from newsnetscotland blogging. It is wholly bias. I don't agree with all he is saying its the general cringe that was brought on by the Brigadoon shortbread tin stuff. Its how others see us. Its not who we are. STV did a better one on it. I'll see if I can find it.

Don't worry, you don't need to watch it to know what it says

 

Not long to go now, unlike most elections, this one could be interesing to watch.

 

My only concern is if the Scots do go Indi, we don't just roll over for an easy life and fight our corner. Don't see why we should pay if the Scots want to go off on a risky (mis)adventure.

[LY_Scott]

What does it say then Zuber?

[Zuber]

Not watched it. But my guess:

 

BBC are bias.

Don't give a balanced view.

Are pro Better Together.

This is totally unacceptable, they should be nuetral and unbiassed and therefore need to be sorted out.

 

Am I close ? If not, can you give the short summary version

[LY_Scott]

Nope. Watch the first 10 mins. There's lots of singing, some speeches and there's a couple of BBC bias bits. Pretty sure you might even enjoy what's said in the first 10 mins.

[KurtVerbose]

Is there any nudity?

[LY_Scott]

Not that I seen. I've not watches it all either. Jist Tommy bit.

Alex Salmond 0 Alistair Darling 1 so I hear.

[KurtVerbose]

He got badgered.

[LY_Scott]

Meh, nothing new came out of it. Salmond is right on the currency issue but the Westminster parties are the No campaign and they've got him cornered on it. That's the idea. It was pretty predictable overall. Polls show 74% of undecideds have salmond ahead btw. Even after that carry on.

[myles]

The common man is influenced by people, and Salmond's ego took a bit of a kicking. Roll on September.

[LY_Scott]

Do you mean personalities?

Agreed. No new content to those of us following the debate. Same lack of answers on important issues. Same dodging of the stuff that will have real impact, and same divertionary tactics and accusations of "scaremongering"

 

I see you're still smoking nationalist-grade hashish in relation to the currency issue

It'd defo the Ace in the No camp's hand. Even I would like a Plan B scenario. I groaned at the TV as well. Its like shooting fish in a barrel when it gets to that question.

Why cannot they state a plan B though..? Thye MUST realise the political and credibility damage this is doing to thier campaign..

 

Even saying its the Euro or a separate currency would at least lend some sort of legitimacy and contincy planning, even if it was deemed too scary.

It's ridiculous that it wasn't shown outside of Scotland. This effects the whole UK, so why did the BBC choose to hide it from non-Scottish?
