BBC – business as usual. Gove repeating and rewinding the same non-answers to questions and Marr allows him to prattle on almost uninterrupted. On comes Sturgeon and Marr goes into interrupt mode ad infinitum.
So predictable, so BBC. Nothing new to see here, and a waste of time complaining it is too obvious. Like Boris, they don’t care what it looks like. They are in charge.
Then we come to DRoss on the radio; so predictable and DRoss. He knows nothing except to echo Ruthie, but still allowed to prattle on. Didn’t he “guarantee” us a referendum unless we voted for him? Can someone tell him we did not vote for him, and therefore we are calling in his guarantee when we are ready for it.
So as far as Gove, Boris, and DRoss are all concerned, they are still in the anti-democratic mode. “Now is not the time”, and for them it will never be the time. They are too afraid to say no or call it because they know fine what will happen.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
