H_B Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 I said the comments are rammed full of Indy supporters. If you can point me towards any dishonest reporting in The Herald, that'd be interesting? What "dishonest" reporting has there been in any of the newspapers?

HardyBamboo Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Revealed: the Foreign Office Devo unit's drive to kill off independence Tom Gordon Scottish Political Editor Sunday 26 January 2014 A FOREIGN Office department ostensibly set up to promote the Scottish Government's interests is being used against it in the independence referendum, diplomatic cables have revealed. The Devolution Unit, created by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) in 2012 to deliver abroad the "utmost co-operation", now appears to be at the heart of Westminster's anti-independence drive, amassing hostile reactions from overseas.

SodjesSixteenIncher Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 What "dishonest" reporting has there been in any of the newspapers? Tactical switch from "MSM" to "newspapers" to deflect the question. Standard stuff. The Beeb and STV's coverage has been found to be biased.

BlackIsleBud Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 That reminds me of the time I was at a St.Andrews Day function in Papua New Guinea where my family and I were the guests of honour........nah - no really. I just made that shite up. Much like national treasure John Barrowman just did. Oh - and BTW John.....Worst. Jacket. Ever. Looked like an Arthur Montford / Archie Macpherson effort circa 1975.

caleyjaggi Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Seriously, if Better Together, 8 months out, are reduced to churning out gold like that from Barrowman then they're totally fucked! Tops the wee dugs and sausage rolls for me. Here's a subtitled version... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todders Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 What the hell is going on with that accent??? That's insulting to the intelligence of all but the most brain dead unionist...so I'm sure Reynard and HB loved every cringe inducing minute of it.

I just find it funny. I agree with you it will be a PR disaster for them. Particularly with their "Referendum is a matter for the people of Scotland" line that they trot out, and the fact that it was some of the most cringeworthy stuff I've ever seen. I've got absolutely no problems with anyone nailing their colours to either mast. Everyone can have an opinion whether they live in Scotland or not. I do have a problem when No say "Referendum is a matter for the people of Scotland" then use people to support their campaign who are not currently one of the people of Scotland. What is for sure is that the average Scot in a council house and on minimum wage isn't going to be swayed by John Barrowman in a tartan jacket and spouting a put on Scottish accent talking about his tales of Chicogo.

It was exactly the kind of twee shortbread and haggis image that Scotland has been trying to get away from. Im not exactly sure what demographic this was aimed at although Im sure it would go down a storm with women of a certain age and voting disposition.....think Anabelle Goldie, The Sunday Post and the Bearsden.Parish Women's Guild.And what was the snydey "puddin of the chieftain race" comment all about? Is this best they can do? Bitter Together are in big trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speckled tangerine Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I see better together are planning on using 'volunteers' to staff call centres in England and Wales to cold call voters up here on behalf of their campaign. Apparently, the first London call centre has made 'tens of thousands' of calls already. They are also preparing to bus students up from south of the border in a 'big push' in the spring. A matter for Scots and people in Scotland? Staggering hypocrisy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
