I think he received the best boooos of the night for that.
Gives you a bit of hope for the future that 16/17 year old's can see right through such a creature.

I'm not actually sure he did, or I've yet to see any evidence, only twitter rumours.

Oh God. now we didn't win the war.Approximately 20% of Battle of Britain RAF pilots were foreign, the largest foreign contingents coming from Poland, New Zealand, Canada and Czechoslovakia. I'm sure a few of the Poles and Czechs could speak German

Speaking from a completely neutral standpoint, I have to say I am staggered this entire debate has got this far. Firstly, to have a referendum where the voters are asked to decide without knowing the exact details of each outcome is ridiculous beyond belief and both sides are to blame for this. Secondly, I cannot believe the Scottish people are even considering voting Yes, when they have no idea even what currency (if any) they will be able to use. I have to say I absolutely agree that Scotland should not use the pound. If the past 6 years have taught us anything about economics is that currency union does not and cannot work without political union. If Scotland votes yes the political union is over.
I thought this referendum was about Scotland being an independent country. If that is the case, why would it want to use someone else's currency? it's Scotland's currency if it stays in the Union, if it leaves it's someone else's.
The yes campaign says a no nuclear Scotland, because they know the UK will protect them with their weapons in the case of attack. These and a whole host of other things make this cherry picking NOT independence. It's nothing more then saying to your mum you are going to be independent because you are renting the flat down the road, but you still want her to do your washing and ironing and you will be round for your tea every night.
If Scotland votes yes, it's more about Scots getting misty eyed over a lone piper on the ramparts than anything to do with common sense and whilst it won't effect me one iota, I hope for their sake the Scots come to their senses before next Thursday and say no to this back of a fag packet load of tosh.

How "independent" is a country without its own currency, if interest rates are set in London (and they would be) the Scots would be unable to dictate their own future economically, so, anything that dozy mare From the SNP said last night is pure guess work. Also, if your economy is based on the income from a depleting oil supply I think the YES campaign should talk about their plans to replace that income as the supply diminishes. They never answered George Galloway's point that the SNP oil revenue figures were calculated on $113 per barrel and he said that they've only reached that 4 times in his life - if the price stayed at under $100 doesn't that blow something of a gaping hole in their predicted income over the short! let alone long! term?
I totally agree Sweep

Missed the point........Why would the BBC pick a maverick/lose cannon/idiot such as Galloway to take part in such an important debate. Why was a high profile lab/lib dem candidate not involved?

Perhaps because he's an elected MP and the BBC likes to show up the public by showing them what total idiots we elect. The country deserves the polititions they get, we, the people, elect them.

Lets be honest. Anything that remotely harms the YES campaign is deemed scandalous, unacceptable and scaremongering.

Perhaps you could post some links showing BBC bias towards the YES campaign to back up your claim.
