Dennis Canavan's views on the monarchy? His opinion. His clearly stated personal opinion. Several BBC Scotland news bulletins neglected to mention that it was his personal opinion and also read a Better Together statement that basically read that it was Yes Scotland's position, not just Dennis Canavan's. <br />Then there's the Irish Foreign Minister, misrepresented by Raymond Buchanan, and the Lithuanian Foreign minister, misrepresented by Raymond Buchanan, and of course the Luxembourgian Prime Minister/ Foreign Minister misrepresented by Raymond Buchanan. <br /><br />And not to forget that the BBC accepted they had misrepresented Lucinda Creighton by selectively quoting her words; then issued a response which basically read as follows.<br /><br />'We do not see a requirement to broadcast a clarification of Ms Creighton's position as to do so would not add anything to the body of knowledge.'<br /><br />Along those lines; I'm going from memory here and since I was laughing my head of when I first read their ridiculous response it might have been slightly different. Either way; they still refused to broadcast a clarification when they'd been caught misrepresenting a European member state senior member of Parliament.<br /><br />So while you're saying 'paranoia' I would just like to invite you to actually take a closer look at the facts rather than simply dismissing them out of hand.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10771927934910093422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-76981260834686809012013-08-03T11:12:28.704+01:002013-08-03T11:12:28.704+01:00Let me give an answer to your wonder: they are not...Let me give an answer to your wonder: they are not (truthful).<br />Φοίβοςhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00450751640963566778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-59821102395397635212013-08-03T11:09:58.115+01:002013-08-03T11:09:58.115+01:00impartiality of BBC? my ass!impartiality of BBC? my ass!Φοίβοςhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00450751640963566778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-54742397547583171572013-08-03T10:54:49.171+01:002013-08-03T10:54:49.171+01:00Like many others, i've stopped watching the BB...Like many others, i've stopped watching the BBC in Scotland.
