I HAVE long since abandoned any notion that the BBC’s Question Time has any effect on Scottish viewers other than to reinforce the widely held understanding that the BBC sees itself as a British Unionist vehicle obliged to smash Scottish aspirations of independence.
But they still don’t get it. They think we don’t see it. And they don’t understand that all they are doing is destroying whatever reputation the BBC has left in Scotland. The “man in the street” doesn’t watch Question Time. Political activists in Scotland do and understand completely, no matter what side they are on, that what they are being offered is a parody.

How could any committed and honest Labour activist in Scotland watch Ian Murray rant and not cringe? The establishment down south will think they achieved a big hit on Thursday night. They did. On themselves. They have no idea.
Leave them to it.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
