BIAS! As EuroNews Gags One-Third of Scots Voters!
With no explanation or excuse, EuroNews today silenced the voice of every pro-freedom Scot.
I watched their ‘Insiders’ show this afternoon, which introduced its Scottish segment by saying that ’60-75 %’ of voters in Scotland favoured remaining under Brussels rule.
Which of course means that 25-40% DO NOT!
Yet as ‘Their Man in Ecosse’ went to and fro around the Highlands and Lowlands, talking to Scots young and old, NOT ONE SINGLE Brexit supporter was given even a minute to state the case for British sovereignty!
Instead all we got were interviews with what appeared to be a series of echo-chambers of that shrill shrew Sturgeon.
EuroNews Biased Snout – Deep In Tax-Payers’ Pockets!
Remember, YOUR money pays for this enemy propaganda.
Vojo, 
Kevin Johnson are discussing.

Do expat voters like you get to vote in this referendum, Ross? That’s too bad when news sources are obviously biased like that.

Long time no comment, vojo.
If Brits have been away for more than 15 years, no voting rights, which is an even sorer point because his Tories promised to repeal that exclusion during the last election campaign but have refused to do so until AFTER the referendum.
Yes, Euronews soaks up public funds via the EU Commission then acts as their media hitman. Very bad.
Keep commenting. You used to liven things up!

I’ve been distracted, as you know, Ross. I will try to tune in more often. This referendum in the UK is hardly mentioned in Canadian news, and probably even less so in US news, but it’s really important, I know. Probably more important than the news of the day, i.e. the Orlando massacre.

I’ll try, Ross, but I have things going on at home, as you know. So, do you get to vote in the referendum? Shocking news about the British MP who was murdered today! I hope that had nothing to do with this Brexit referendum.

Sorry not to answer you more promptly, vojo. I got home from partying last night and witihn an hur the laptop was shut-down for ‘installation of updates’ by whoever makes computers. This has taken near enough ten hours!
Briefly, if Brits live or work abroad for 15 years, they lose their vote at home. It is manifestly unfair esp. since Cameron pledged he’d scrap it and has carefully refrained from doing so at least until after the referendum.
As to the murdered MP, there may (or may not) be political anger behind it, but already I heard (on Deutsche Welle) a suggestion it will leave not just the victim but the Brexit movement ‘dead.’
I see both sides have suspended campaigning in the wake of the killing but I suspect that the pro-Brussels side will escalate their alarmist rhetoric, seeking to exploit the crime.

Expats have been very unjustly treated, denied their right to vote on the future of their country, when so many of them work so hard for Britain overseas, or have retired abroad after a lifetime of work at home..And giving hundreds of thousands of foreigners (from the Irish Republic) a vote makes it even worse.
Cameron is a name to curse and swear by in the UK today.

Hey Ross, I’ve been wondering why so many people in Scotland support staying in the EU as opposed to the most of the rest of the UK. I understand why people in Northern Ireland would want to, in order to maintain an open border with Ireland, but why Scotland?

Despite lingering after-effects of Canadian revelry, I’ll give you a brief attempt at an answer, Vojo.
Scots, like Ulster-Scots, were traditionally proud of their role in the vanguard of the British Empire, but as that edifice crumbled, I think they felt dispirited and began to look backwards for meaning.
Hence the rise of the SNP, which, at least until the 70s, was a genuine nationalist party, opposed to the EUSSR.
But it has gone more and more leftwing since then and is hardly ‘nationalist’ at all, merely separatist/socialist. Labour dominated Scots politics since the Fifties, but was tainted by notorious local government corruption scandals that shifted much of the left voter bloc to the SNP.
Sturgeon is a ghastly woman, but sneaky with it, and having lost her last separatist referendum 55/45, sees the latest political unrest as a means of swinging perhaps 6% of the electorate, which is all she needs to win another poll.
Like so many pro-Brussels notables, she talks a lot about all the subsidies ‘granted’ by the EU, but neglects to mention that the EU has no money to ‘grant’ anyone – except what it filches from Brit, and other, tax-payers. And Brits pay in more than they get back.

Thanks for the explanation, Ross. There’s also the fact that voters in Scotland (and everywhere else) voted for the UK to either remain or leave the EU, not just their own particular country. I think Scottish voters would sensibly choose to remain with the UK in the event of another independence referendum.
