It pisses me off that one man, Salmond, can strut about bullying people to break up the Union on a personal crusade. Traitor.
Fortunately he will lose but I suppose he will then start bleating about Treasury breaking the law and demanding a re-run.

Even the worldwide media are laughing at the BBC and their antics...remember that this was a news conference and not a public debate!
Ultimate smackdown - YouTube
V's how the BBC then went on to report it in follow up reports

I was coming home to go and post this
Also George Galloway shouted out the yessers are ****'s which was edited out as well its all over facebook from people who were there during the debate.
also with the BBC teen debate the voting teens were told to say they are no voters or undecided aswell because the yes voting teens were the majority
this has been reported from a few different people here is just one of them
with loads of people who were there confirming this to be correct !!
also edited out of this BBC teen debate was the boo's the no campaign recieved when onstage which was the majority of teens there Booing !
90% of the media is biased in the no camps favor they are a true embarrassment to the UK.
Also here is some of better togethers slippery misleading manipulation
59 secondary schools here with the over 16's polls on how they are voting and the
better together say the majority of school and university's are voting no
well there are 364 secondary schools in Scotland
and 15 university's as well
total 379
so if the 59 schools and university's are voting no amongst the over 16's
what about the other 320 schools and university's ????????
are they voting yes as if they were no they would be on this propaganda statistic picture from NOT better together !
the NOT better together sink to new lows !!!!

I thought you said you ignored the polls

so I dont trust the polls as compared to 4250,000 registered voters which is 97% of the voting population it really could go either way
even if one side showed 90% of polled votes right upto the actual vote you know what I mean

possibly but who knows really could swing either way
I think the BBC's behavior and the no campaigns misleading shows a different picture.
they are in control of the mainstream media and before the BBC
are editing out of their televised debates
the no campaign being booed at a voting teens debate
and asking the teens on that show to say they are either no voters or undecided because there are to many yes voters
and deliberately lying about salmond answering questions on a debate.
amongst other things.
they could be lying about who is really winning in the hope of projecting the image of winning so other people join them.

This made me laugh...
Vote "Yes" or else...
The former deputy leader of the Scottish nationalists has threatened a 'day of reckoning' for businesses that have spoken out against independence.
SNP grandee Jim Sillars lashed out after a host of banks, finance firms, supermarkets and retail giants warned about the dangers of separation.
Mr Sillars said oil giant BP would be nationalised 'in part or in whole' while bankers and big business chiefs would be punished for 'being in cahoots' with the Tories.
The remarks are likely to increase business anxiety over independence just six days before next week's referendum.
He said: ‘This referendum is about power, and when we get a Yes majority, we will use that power for a day of reckoning with BP and the banks.
‘The heads of these companies are rich men, in cahoots with a rich English Tory Prime Minister, to keep Scotland’s poor, poorer through lies and distortions. The power they have now to subvert our democracy will come to an end with a Yes.’
He added: ‘BP, in an independent Scotland, will need to learn the meaning of nationalisation, in part or in whole, as it has in other countries who have not been as soft as we have forced to be.
'We will be the masters of the oil fields, not BP or any other of the majors. What kind of people do these companies think we are? They will find out.’

The level of corruptness from the BBC over all of this has been outstanding TBH, more like communism than a democracy TBH.

Here's another (not BBC related) that's worthy of a read.

I'm not fussed to be honest , if they want independence let them have it . People keep going on about the debt but it's pretty clear cut really .
The argument of how much it puts in / takes out confuses me . I got family in Scotland ( in laws ) and first time I went up there I was shocked at amount of people at bus stops , wife's cousin said not everyone can afford cars plus the public areas and amount of social housing was unreal !
I went out with wife's cousins and 3 of their mates and only one had a job ? I know were talking about a small area of Scotland but is this England's fault ? Will the split allow more jobs for these young lads ?
I do alot work in Scotland for a known retailer and they been shutting up as they don't make money up there and the England side supports the Scottish and some welsh stores , then you see so many run down areas it's depressing
If the split ment more jobs / better standard if living then I would agree with it but I think it will take several years to turn it around

Do you honestly expect the press to ever go easy on mp's**maybe it looks different from down here but from where I sit the media always give mp's a hard time.*
Maybe if Salmond had confident answers and stopped changing the subject then his interviews would go a little smoother.

Its not the rest of the uk thats under the spotlight, its Scotland, and if you dont think that BBC should be asking tough questions and trying to back Samond into a corner under pressure then we will have to agree to disagree.

Did you even bother to watch any of that, if you did you completely missed the point in all of it?
The point of it wasn't the so called tough questions you talk of but the level of bias and corruption from the BBC over it.
and if you care to even watch it you will see Salmond dosen't change the subject he answers the questions he is asked, it's the BBC who edit the coverage to look like he is changing the subject.

Samond does change the point, he trys to either avoid the question altogether or his new tack is to try and discredit the people that ask the questions he doesn't like.

At the start of the vid the bbc ask some fair questions that are being raised and the first response from Salmond is to try and discredit the bbc. After answering the question he then jumped straight onto discrediting westminster.

Salmond, as usual, went off of one with bluff and blunder about how corporation tax works or how it's old news.
And I'm pretty sure Salmond is one of the many who bitch about Amazon et all paying their corp tax in Luxembourg whilst doing business in the UK - but of course in iScotland he would be able to stop that (despite it being a global problem).

And that a certain head office was and has been located in the uk for a number of years
Don't get me wrong I'm on neither side but at least let them have a fair referendum jesus
