Censored : the debate

I see that the debate between Darling and Salmond has been censored from the RoUK.


It's not on TV here.


More worryingly is that the STV player has been hacked and isn't working for people down south.




Shame we'll never know the truth now;
we'll have to rely on the usual objective crew saying how statesmanlike Salmond was and how trite Darling was.

    It will be aired at a later date.

    As for your last paragraph, sound slike you already made your mind up without giving anyone a chance. You have done exactly what it seems you have issue with?

    I believe the rest of the UK should have a say, somehow, but ultimately, it's up to the Scots...and that's their choice to make. Hey, we should be celebrating the fact that at least they appear to have a say in their future. We don't.

    However, on that note, if the Scot's decide to go independant, they need to do just that. Not this "keep the pound, keep the BOE, keep the army and keep every asset Scotland has" nonsense.

    Pandas, space aliens, driving on the right, misquoting darling, and refusing to answer what their plan B was for currency.

    It's mental.....

    He just doesn't seem to be taking it seriously, and sturgeon is going on like he's Mohammed Ali. The man is a disgrace.

    seriously, surely there are a large number of people both Scottish and others who don't live in Scotland, who are interested in the debate




    presumably the decision about where and how to broadcast, was made by Westminster

    Scottish parliament is on the parliament channel. They're talking about fat kids doing sport (like walking) as a result of the commonwealth games. Probably more interesting.

    Alternatively there is a program on bbc2 about Hamish's fishing cottage.
