With only a few hours remaining before voting begins in the Scottish independence referendum, with signs on the streets and over the pages of social media pointing to a Yes majority, the Westminster Labour Party has made a public appeal to the police in Scotland to protect voters. Commenters around the globe, including Ireland’s own Fintan O’Toole, have remarked repeatedly on the astounding civility of the campaign over the past two years. Activism in the cities – stands and rallies – have been very good humoured and have always been attended by young families with children. During protests against the clear bias of the BBC the Better Together campaign did make an attempt to paint the presence of children at the rally as some sort of Nazi style indoctrination. Better Together have always used the image of families and children in their campaign, and the slur against the Yes campaign quickly backfired on them with the result that one political candidate had to submit her resignation. What is most surprising was the fact that she was a school teacher. The campaign in favour of Scotland remaining within the United Kingdom had a clear majority only a year ago, and has never had the need to resort to such low practices. Yet it has used low level tactics from the very beginning and this has resulted in a constant flow of No voters to the Yes Scotland cause. Sure, one would think that if their argument was sound and the preferred choice among most Scots then they would not need to delve to such depths.
British Labour Creates Panic to Win
Something Fishy in the Scottish Polls
There are two full days remaining before polls open over Scotland in a referendum that will determine whether Scotland, after 307 years of London rule, will remain with or leave the United Kingdom. Over the weekend the British state broadcaster, the BBC, highlighted the rather dubious, and embarrassingly anachronistic, support for the Better Together pro-Union campaign offered by the intensely sectarian Orange Order in its parade through the streets of Edinburgh. Yet on the other side of Scotland, in Glasgow, tens of thousands of Yes supporters crowded the streets in celebration of their anticipated referendum victory on Thursday, and not a single mention was made of it by the BBC. Over the latter stages of the campaign the BBC have been found to remove Yes supporters from the background of its ‘special reports’ and Photoshop ‘No’ signs where there were none. Under increasing pressure from the people of Scotland, and from the official complaints of Alex Salmond, the First Minister, it has been forced to acknowledge that its coverage has been atrocious. It is now far beyond doubt that the BBC is acting in a manner more fitting a totalitarian régime than the broadcaster of a western liberal democracy. From the outside of Scotland looking in, it is clear that the people of Scotland are being subjected to a powerful campaign of lies and deception, that aims, through fear mongering and blackmail, to turn the tide in the swing to Yes across Scotland that has become a true revolution.
