Scotland

It's amazing how the media are so interested in whether or not Scotland are going to vote for independence. There's barely been a mention of it until last week, but the good old 'impartial' BBC are at almost fever pitch about it now. I'm not sure why their reporting should be biased towards Scottish independence but there's certainly no doubt that every report they make is slanted that way. It would be nice to get a balanced view but if you want that don't rely on the BBC - perhaps they've been promised a load of money by Alex Salmond - he seems to be good at promising money the country doesn't have.
As far as I'm concerned the rest of the union has been disenfranchised. Any media reports should be confined to regional TV stations and a very brief report on the national news. It would be a different story if the other members of the union had a say in the huge implications this vote has on them, but unfortunately it is only the people living in Scotland who can have a say. Not really democratic is it? Can you imagine if the English had decided to have a vote to eject Scotland? There would have been an outcry.
So anyway, I suppose I'll need to get my passport up to date - the way it's looking there'll be border control on the A1 soon!
