Seems Salmond still dismisses any negative reports from businesses and banks as scaremongering as opposed to being an actual problem

Yet to see the YES vote reply to anything substantial? As seen on this thread, it's better to cast aspersions on the person writing it, or where it's written, or how it's written, as opposed to what is actually written

So guys and gals what do think of the UK Treasury briefing Nick Robinson from the BBC on the RBS statement before it's announcement ?

And ? Think nothing of it

Makes zero difference to the content of the briefing which is the important part surely ?

I think The BBC should be praying for a NO vote, they're finished in an independent Scotland I think.As for the briefing, that'll be swept under the carpet.

 

[Doon frae Troon]

Despite the fact that it breaks fairly significant financial regulations. Surely not

How can a telly company be "finished" in a country

Are you suggesting enough people will not watch the BBC or listen to BBC radio all because of the way they report the Independence ?!

Well just looking at it - currently according to the polls just over half will vote NO so that's around 2.2 million who will prob still watch the BBC - add in all those yes voters who tune in to watch Strictly or Eastenders or all those other entertainment programmes which the general public watch will prob push that number higher - to say they are "finished" in an Independent Scotland is laughable

So I'm guessing it's another case of ignoring the actual content of the briefing ( because it more than likely paints a negative picture towards a yes vote ) but concentrating on something else - soon the fingers will be all the way in the ears

Will the British Biased Corporation show the First Minister's talk today to the whole of the Scottish people in its entirety tonight I wonder?

Or will it just be wee snippets as a lip jester to suit their masters?

When do they ever show any politician's speech in its entirety?

Quite taken aback by the levels of paranoia about alleged "bias".

The paranoia allows the facts to be ignored

I wonder what the feeling would be if the BBC reported positively towards the Yes campaign.

It is not paranoia. I am merely stating that the reporting has been ill informed and heavily leaning towards NO so much so that the 'news' that they are giving out is on many occasions factually incorrect.

Should a National Broadcaster not be trusted to report things correctly no?

I am sure that you had issues with a certain red top that spouted crap about a people from a certain city and rightly so.

To expect a broadcaster to broadcast correct info is surely not asking too much....no?

 

[Deleted member 15344]

Which "facts" have the BBC reported that are incorrect ? Or which information that isn't factually correct has been broadcast ?

Hmmm not sure if you should be taking such a cavalier attitude to breaking the law. Which obviously paints a poor picture of the No Camp. The statement would have been released in due time so no difference.
Think you have missed the point

Are you aware down south that iScotland will probably do away with the BBC.
Gives them a motive.

I was thinking the same thing but for peace and harmony I did not post.

Where has it been suggested that Scotland will "do away" with the BBC - will Scotland then start producing their own programmes - funded from what ?

What law has been broken ?

DfT, could you for one second just ignore the rule breaking (unless LPP knows people inside the media, he is unlikely to know why it was leaked early), and deal with the substance behind the announcement. You're doing really really well at avoiding any facts or issues, and just attacking how it is published/the BBC, but it would be really nice to hear comments on the things that actually matter.

Old Salmond looked like the cat who'd got the cream the other day when they briefly went ahead in the polls.
Gives me the creeps that fella.

Wouldn't that be a massive change from the Yes campaign ? It seems it months of avoiding the issues and facts and going with the "scaremongering" line

Lloyds moving head office lies.

RBS news being portrayed as a disaster when in reality it's not.

Interrupted a crucial speech from AS to cover Oscar fecking Pistorious.


And that is just today.
