    It's not really relevant to the independence debate. If the media down England were only reporting online abuse against Cameron and ignoring the same abuse being aimed at Miliband would that be fair?

    We have the press up here going on and on about evil cybernats etc. yet not a word said about the abuse aimed towards yes campaigners. And that includes the BBC and STV.


    Go away and argue with someone on your own intellectual level. I suggest newgod <ok>

    The BBC are the voice of the state - one of the little biases I always picked up was how everyone the IRA killed was 'murdered', but with the British Army/Police it was a 'killing'.

    Killed unarmed civilians http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-24987465
    Murdered soldiers http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-14292072

    Go Google and see for yourself, they are so consistent that it can't be anything other than an editorial policy.

    I deserved that for not phrasing the question correctly - is all abuse directed at senior politicians from the No campaign in connection with Scottish Independence reported? I think it's impossible to quantify it. If I call Salmond a **** then everyone's going to assume it's a chippy Nigel having a go at the campaign rather than perhaps being anmnoyd at criticism of the union and by extension pople who are not Scottish (I know you'll probably scorn at that but it is genuinely how a lot of pople feel down here). If you call Cameron a **** it could be for a million and one reasons - and i'd probably agree wth them but you might be calling him that purely as a nationalist.

    Regardless, I ain't going any further into this as i won't win but, as i said to Dev, the no mob are chucking it away anyway. When i win on a bet i usually reinevst a bit on long term things like races in Septemeber or football for the season. Over the last 3 months I've been topping up on a yes vote as i think it's going top haoppn and it's as much (actually probably lots more) to do with Better Together as the Yes vote

    Don't underestimate the amount of groundwork that's going on. Yes has thousands of volunteers on stalls, knocking on doors, going to meetings etc. Better Together are having to hire staff in England to make phone calls and send letters.

    I don't undersstimate it and I'm not surprised at all - people who believe in changing the status quo on anything are always likely to have more passionate supporters that get off their arses than those who want to keep things as they are. But even so the continual negative patronising ****e coming out of Whitehall and national boradcasters and press is worth its weight in gold

    Do you live here? Do you read Scottish newspapers? Do you watch Reporting Scotland?

    I've already posted a link to research carried out by an academic showing bias. Now go away.

    I must say though, most of the Yes voters on my Facebook are wishy washy 'life is not fair' crying ****s. I just happen to be on the same side as them, for my own reasons.
