The problem isn't with the statement or facts supporting it - the UK press call us anti-English for saying the No Campaign is anti-Scottish - which is a spectacularly stupid circular argument.<br /><br />Add in to that, its more often than not 'Scottish' people who are accusing other Scottish people of being anti-English because they've called the No campaign anti-Scottish.<br /><br />Then the same people tell us we should definitely vote No because there is too much division in Scotland - the press go onto report that in hysterical fashion but don't say the elected representatives making these statements profit hugely from their no vote.<br /><br />Well, I know what I meant... ;-)<br /><br />I haven't seen much of the games, I hear though the commentary is dire and the BBC seem to be favouring English coverage & English presenters. <br /><br />It does seem very silly though - CWG's held in Scotland, but our 'national broadcaster' seems to favour beaming English endeavours into Scottish home, ummm, the country in which the games are actually being held...<br /><br />Again, quite stupid and obviously so.pa_broon74https://www.blogger.com/profile/01915208411019621104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7488826927992195485.post-8794918976319854452014-07-30T03:18:27.617-07:002014-07-30T03:18:27.617-07:00Pa

I am sorry but the no side are very anti Scottish and I really don't care what anyone thinks.<br /><br />The coverage of the games has also shown unionism at it's worst, England = Britain and Scotland is a home nation meaning England = home nation. It has been a sham and it is really annoying me, I have just commented on it on Munguin. The games should have made a nation feel good but the BBC are making sure that doesn't happen, they are making sure that we know England is the big boy in this so called union. I hope it backfires big time come September.<br /><br />But either way as I have said before nothing ever gets to be the same again. If it's a no vote in September there will be a huge amound of pressure on the unuionist parties to deliver change, esp the labour Party. of course they will not deliver any meaningful change that improves people's lives. They will brin in more costly administrative powers that make us all poorer and there will be a backlash. I don't even think that Labour understand what they have gotten themselves into, I might even blog about it.<br /><br />Bruce<br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
