And (if you believe them) roughly even numbers of Yes and No supporters. So even if half of Dundee was, say, Yes+In and only 10% were No+Out, they'd still have the same number of people.

A Dundonian on my Facebook posted last night that there wasn't a real Dundonian in the audience only to be told by a number of his friends that they were in the audience or knew someone who was. As for plants, I was in the audience of a Question Time during the Indy Ref campaign, I was sat next to an SNP councillor from Kilmarnock, and a couple of rows in front of Richie Venton. Where they plants? Did they get to ask questions by any chance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which Jim Sillars ended up answering . It was a fairly Yes heavy crowd to be honest, so Yes heavy infact that the SNP took it upon themselves not to send Salmond or Sturgeon, it was Swinneys debut... And I know I'm a bit biased but he was definitely the worst on the panel. Sillars (cos he's batshit crazy)-> Davidson -> Dugdale -> Swinney.

Hertsscot Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Just trying to work out why the fruit has sunk to the bottom of my Dundee Cake. And according to Delia on line Dundee is English so maybe QT was just reflecting that: http://www.deliaonline.com/recipes/cuisine/european/english/traditional-dundee-cake.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scunnered Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 For me there is one thing that is being overlooked with all the moping about Question Time (A Dundonian on my Facebook is STILL going on about the lack of real Dundonians on the show), the BBC, like them or not had to have a spokesperson explain why someone on the show had an English accent... That is feckin' sinister. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's sensitive right enough. - though I think 'uncomfortable' is a better word than 'sinister' Though dare I say... I can't help thinking if the show was from Shetland and half the accents were Glaswegian, or if the show was from London and half the accents were continental European, speaking on a EU matters, then it might give rise to comments, rightly or wrongly, but without being called sinister?

I though that the point people were making was not that there were non-Dundee accents but that there were NO Dundee accents. And for a show coming from Dundee, was strange. The main point wasn't criticising that there were people with non-Dundee accents there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People on the "Red Tory" stall that day, 2 from Largs, 1 from Saltcoats and 1 from Kilbirnie. It's no coincidence that Ardrossan SNP chose English accents for the above lie and that Patricia Gibson chose a London call centre for the below lie during the General Election campaign.
