Naturally there's lots of conjecture, a few snide nods to the mongering of fear, talk of border guards and what Essex man might think of hordes of migrants invading via border free Scotland and suggestions of leaked documents from UK Government at fraught times to 'get the debate going.'
Just remember, we pay for these Elders of Obfuscation through our license fee.
Old Brillo head can barely contain his seething indignation at the temerity of the Scottish electorate choosing the SNP over the pro-union parties and manages to trawl the Darien project into the 21st century as poor Scotland might have to be bailed out by the generous English again...

A great spot, that deserves a wider audience...
A good post.
Is this a seminar for young journalists
Or a bit of the usual BBC brain- washing ?
Regardless, I hate having part of my licence fee used
to promote anti-Scottish propaganda.
Brian and the Brillo pad were the sleaziest of them all.
Sleazy bit of BBC brainwashing aimed at young journalists.

I posted a mildly abusive comment and it is sitting, as far as I know, in moderation limbo, since last night.
I actually said that post 2014 there will have to be a day of reckoning over their unionist bias.
Que sera, sera
Many thanks for finding these!
I thought Taylor, Robinson and Flanders not bad, all things considered. Flanders' piece has some good +ve soundbites. Poor stuff from Andrew Neil, as usual.
What you get from Brillo is polemic, not journalism. Disgusting!
Taylor: biased towards the union, and I'm amazed he states that Salmond wants Devo Max as a fallback with such confidence - thus completely falling for the trap - but at least he's fairly truthful throughout.
Robinson: slightly more informed about it than I thought he would be, but still seems like he's wading into something he'snot entirely sure about. Not bad, though.
Flanders: don't understand why she kept saying there was a question mark on oil, since there are internationally-defined rules for allocating marine borders and they're not going to change for the benefit of one country, and as a result some of her analysis is flawed. But by far the most neutral and informed of the lot, and certainly it's nice to see a journalist point out that "subsidy" turns into "deficit" when the occasion suits. Her analysis seems to effectively neutralise the economy as a debating point, and I'm glad to see her acknowledge that, regardless of how it happens, Scotland will end up being in the EU.
Brillo Pad: Absolute guff. Right-wing idiot, spouting complete nonsense and taking the negative stance at all times. I can't believe he thinks getting nukes out of Faslane gives rUK the power, rather than Scotland.
The most desperate guff ever from Brillo pad Neil, a desperate effort of a unionist!
He compares what were basically satellite countries of the former Soviet republic, colonies in essence, to the union PARTNERSHIP between Scotland and England which alone created the UK.
He has a real cheek to use Pakistan and India as well, believing they are 'precedents' that demonstrate how International Law would work upon Independence.
Absolutely chalk and cheese examples-mickey mouse unionist posturing where believing any old crap suffices over any attempt at rational fact.
The real problem of the likes of Neil and Brian wassisname is that they know less than a mere pleb like myself, or they are forced by their devotion to the union and the bbc bias to act as if they don't know what they are talking about.
This is big news when it finally finds an outlet-I imagine the bbc won't be that outlet but their rivals could have a real laugh with this even if they are unionist in essence this propaganda by the bbc is an embarrassing spectacle.
let us not forget them
Here's an idea - with the NATO policy up for discussion within the SNP, why doesn't someone float the idea of keeping the Nukes , but assuming control of them, as the successor states of the USSR did with nukes on their territories?
I am not suggesting that it should become policy - I think it is a terrible idea - but someone should mention it just to watch the unionists panick and show their real nature.
