| Comment | I complained to the BBC because a piece on Radio Scotland 'both-sides-ed' it by giving equal airtime to Gillian Mackay (the MSP leading the legislation on buffer zones) and an American evangelical nutcase from an extreme right-wing pressure group based in Alabama
They responded saying this was a reasonable neutral position accurately representing the debate in Scotland because the american pressure group had sent a representative to join the protests at the QEUH and so deserved equal airtime
Don't underestimate the impact these yanks (who have a *lot* of lobbying money) are having over here, and they've already got quite a number of MPs in their pocket |
