I watched tonight's 'big debate' but gave up after 14 minutes.

Nicola Sturgeon was doing what the entire yes campaign has been doing for weeks now: cutting across everyone who spoke and forcing her opinion down everyone's throats.

I'm not so sure the debate was ever a good idea in the first place. School pupils will be 'prepped' by either their Modern Studies teachers or their parents and there's no way of knowing until they open their mouths what their 'views' are. And in the short section I saw, James Cook was clearly out of his depth as a chair.

I'm not at all sure Galloway was a good choice to represent the BT campaign. Does he really think donning a fedora will make him appeal to the youth vote? OK, they might identify with a maverick character but the guy is a d1ck and a liability.
