An attempt by the Scottish National Party to use the courts to ban the broadcast in Scotland of Thursday's BBC TV prime ministerial debate has failed. The party asked the Court of Session in Edinburgh to rule on whether the corporation had breached its rules on impartiality by excluding the SNP. But this was dismissed by the judge, Lady Smith, after a two-day hearing.
Speaking as a 'proud' Scot within the UK, I was not surprised by the outcome of the courts. It made sense, since this is a series of TV debates to see who would occupy Number 10, and there is no way Alex Salmond could have done that, even if everyone in Scotland voted SNP! So we will be able to watch the debate as it should be, with the three main contenders for the position of the UK Prime Minister. And we will be spared the cocky grin of the SNP Leader.
It tells me again that wee Eck is a very vain and conceited person, who will go to any length to get on TV and in front of a camera. If he wanted publicity, he got it, but only after the ordinary SNP supporters had coughed up £50,000 to give his pride a chance of some more camera shots.
"Vanity vanity, all is vanity", now who was it said that? Clue, a very wise man!
