The Tories say they will take powers away from the Scottish Parliament if they win the next general election; this is a party that was crushed in the Scottish elections and has been rejected by the people of Scotland for 71 years, yet again treating Scotland with contempt.

Vote NO and lose your Government ,
Remember when Gordon Brown promised “the most powerful devolved parliament in the world” if we voted no to independence. How’s that promise working out?

Never forget the English mayor said this about the Ukraine but it doesn't apply to Scotland apparently:

If ever we needed evidence that Scotland is indeed a colony this is it!
This should be front and centre of every news story on BBC Scotland and STV. A Parliament voted for by around 70% of Scotland’s electorate is at risk of having some of its powers removed by a Party rejected by Scots for over 70 years. It should be the major headline but it won’t.

The main issue with BBC Scotland is that it isn't real. It's akin to a video game, and like all video games the characters have no autonomy. They act within strict boundaries. The world projected by these characters is fictional. This is why BBC Scotland projects a caricature of Scotland. Reporters and presenters are essentially coded characters. Everything they say is strictly controlled. If this then say that ... If not this then delete. The station isn't a national broadcaster. It's a make believe construct coded in London. It's a video game and nobody inside the game can change it.

How can the 'real stinger' be the £32,000 rate rise and not the £75,000 rise in energy costs?

A serial rapist in England, given bail and allowed to keep his passport, flees to Pakistan. No Labour Govt minister confronted by the BBC. Why not? This is a *massive* failing. Everyone knows if this was Scotland the BBC would despatch a team to confront John Swinney.

Michael Marra's strategy is to repeatedly offer to 'work together' on anything and everything. He has no actual plans or policies. He just wants to 'work together'.
