No surprise really - Salmond was always going to try to increase nationalist influence over broadcasting in Scotland if he got his hands on the levers of power.

I say blame Labour and the europhile Liberal Dims for creating the circumstances in which Salmond is now able to try to further undermine Britishness and the Union of the UK. It was Labour and the Liberal Dims who established the Scottish Parliament and Executive assuming - naively - that they would - together - have semi-permanent control of them.

After just eight years of the Scottish Parliament/Executive their plan is in tatters with the euro-nationalist and anti-UK Salmond in the driving seat in Edinburgh.

Expect the committed europhile Salmond and his so-called nationalists to cause as many problems for the Union of the UK as they can during the time they have power. These people have waited half a century for this moment - having formed their party decades ago with one aim - Scotland out of the UK and in with 'europe' instead.

Labour are in a mess over devolution in Scotland and Wales and - in giving Scotland her own Parliament but refusing to give the ancient nation of England anything at all - have annoyed the people of England by denying us our historic right to self-determination.

We must target Labour for their ineptitude regarding Scottish and Welsh devolution and for their brazen disregard for the wishes of the people of England and our right to equality in the UK (with the other parts of the Kingdom).
