Get signing people! We must put pressure on the BBC in Scotland to reflect the facts not their fiction!
A stark reminder that one of the biggest challenges facing Scottish Independence is the constant onslaught of Scotland Bad from the MSM particularly BBC Reporting Scotland. Please get very very angry and support my petition so it can be debated in the HoC.

Petition: Tv-licence holders to be able to demand refund
We call on legislation to be introduced to enable tv license payers to be able to demand a 50% refund if the BBC is found to have breached its Charter and not provided an on-air public apology.

The first questioner on #bbcqt asks about child poverty & the lifting of the two child benefit gap. She seems to be more upset that a parent may have "coloured nails" than having to bring their children up in poverty while working. What a nasty, ill-informed view of the world.

I'm really pleased that the accusations against Farage are quite rightly not going away. He appears very, very rattled and deservedly so.

The contortions of defending Nigel Farage. Stephen Pollard in the Jewish Chronicle makes the judgement that Farage probably did say terrible things including "Hitler was right" & "Gas them." But his defence is that everyone was saying antisemitic things at private schools then.
