No, I wasn't at the demonstration outside BBC Scotland HQ, Pacific Quay on Saturday 11th August 2018 but I have been leading political education efforts on the internet to identify the BBC and its unionist bias and censorship of most and the best pro-independence campaigners as the critical factor of the rigging of media coverage of the 2014 independence campaign which led to the win for NO, and the defeat for YES. Actually, I didn't even learn of the protest until today, a week later. In an intellectual sense, though I have never been elected to any such official post - and no doubt most pro-independence campaigners have not heard of me or would not vote for me if they had heard of me, I am nevertheless the intellectual leader of the independence movement and that's not because I am "the smartest" pro-independence Scot but because what scientific brains I have are focused to the political task. So I apologise for not being there on the day to accept the BBC managers invite to talks inside. Had I been there I would have accepted their invite and asked to be accompanied by as many of the protesters as could be accommodated inside the building. In addition, I would have asked that the talks we had be broadcast live on BBC TV - whether live on BBC Scotland interrupting the normal broadcasting schedule or live on BBC News channel which is more accustomed to going live to a breaking story. I have tried to become a breaking story in a political sense for many years but the BBC has chosen not to break my political story. The most the BBC has ever done to educate its viewers with regard to my political leadership is to broadcast this video on BBC 2 Scotland in 2008. "Scottish republican socialist Peter Dow, author and protester" kzitem.info/news/bejne/mG5vuZ-BcKeonI4 So thank you to the BBC for that. It was a start but it was not enough. If the BBC are finally ready to talk to me then I welcome that. Peter Dow, Science and Politics, SCOT.TK
