Promised concessions from the Tories? The best they have offered to date is "
once the independence referendum has taken place “we can take a serious and considered look at a new spread of responsibilities within the UK" - that hardly constitutes a promise, more a typically vague reference to something that they may or may not concede. I have to admit that they are in an awkward position, albeit one of their own making. They make definite promises and many simply don't believe that they will keep them - history does have a habit of repeating itself. They don't make promises and they somehow expect voters to believe that they have a 'Plan B' - never mind a Plan A - strangely reminiscent of their own, repeated ad nauseum, catch cry against the SG, who they obviously believe have to 'show their hand' on every issue before the referendum, whilst not believing that they should have to do the same themselves.
You are right about the bias claim, many people do tend to see bias against their own beliefs, but the fact does remain that all of national daily papers in Scotland favour the No vote - that simply cannot be denied. That, of course, is their right & if they wish to do so, so be it. BBC Scotland, on the other hand, have a supposed charter of impartiality, a charter that is being totally ignored - and given that they are totally funded by
all Scottish TV licence holders, that simply should not be the case. I have no idea whether or not BBC Scotland is available elsewhere, but on line and on air, be it TV or radio, it is self evident that they take every opportunity to denigrate both the SG and the Yes campaign with words, actions and body language. They continually repeat much of the nonsense spouted by the likes of Gordon Brown, most of which has been proven to be nonsense, yet fail to make any mention of those who have proven him wrong. They still refer to Sir Ian Wood's accusation of the SG overestimating oil resources, even though he himself has since admitted he was wrong. They still hold up the Yes campaigners as violent louts, using the recent egg throwing incident against SLP's Jim Murphy as proof - totally ignoring the evidence that the incident was self-orchestrated. They fail to report on death threats made against Alex Salmond, fail to report on the elderly Yes canvasser who was knocked over and hospitalised, fail to report on the business premises showing Yes support having excrement smeared over door handles - the list is endless. Mind you, they are only crapping in their own nest - they'll be the first to go after the referendum is over.
