Sorry Nick, I am not giving my keyboard a rest just yet - probably not until I am banned from the Forum for a trumped up infringement of the rules.
Where do you get all this propaganda from ?
This latest one, which purports to be from an "Independent" source meaning that it is presumably impartial, is almost laughable in it's bias towards the YES persuasion. Out of all the subjects which it reviews, only 2 are given a grudging "Draw" - all the rest are blatantly for a YES vote.
Even your previous offering from a Sunday Paper columnist using a football scenario was a far fairer assessment of the "pro's and con's" than this latest bit of spin.
Presumably the purpose of this continuous release of conjecture is to wear down the sensibilities of the "undecided's" , and to convince them, that along with YES placards appearing around the island like Japanese knotweed, anyone harbouring NO tendencies is out on a limb and out of touch with current island sentiment.
I did not take on the mantle of Inquisitor with the absence of Innes Newton from the scene (who was far more able than myself) but I do feel that if your Independence Debate is to have any credibility as a genuine debate on the subject, stifling any opposing views with intemperate replies (as in Gavin Rae elsewhere) is counter productive to your cause.

Perhaps there is a reason for that.

[jimcee]

The reason is that it is blatant propaganda for the YES campaign, and would be questionable to anyone who was considering the subject seriously.

[NickB]

. . . questionable to anyone who was considering the subject seriously.

I haven't found any information on the Informed Scots website that is to my knowledge factually inaccurate.

Perhaps you could highlight the areas you feel are less than honest or unsatisfactory in some other way and we can discuss them in a rational manner.

(Because you shouting 'propaganda' every time someone expresses an opinion contrary to your own or publishes data you are uncomfortable with isn't really helping move the discussion along, is it?)
