Well done Hayley, a great interview that presses for the truth and the facts from BOTH men, a well balanced interview at last!

excellent interview, its actually been one of the best i've heard!

***** Warren, I'm English and living in Scotland. That was a great comment. I'd have to have my legs chopped off and be decapitated to not crawl to the election office and vote to get rid these cretins from Scotland. Vote Yes :)

Thank you Hayley Millar for restoring at least some of my faith in the existence of unbiased journalism. I have ceased listening to BBC Scotland news and broadcasts as a result of their clear support for the Con-Dem-Lab alliance. KZbin ftw.

Great interview, well worth listening too, jim murphy gets torn to bits, hat off to Hayley

[@ombra004]

Beh... I simply say.. YES!!!

[@alanmitchell7065]

Jim Murphy must be the most ineffective MP in Scotland, what an embarrassment.

[@wonjubhoy]

Alan Mitchell not an MP any more!

This is a shocking response from Jim Murphy. When asked to explain the poverty suffered from within the union, while his Labour party was in government, he blames the SNP for getting Thatcher elected. His greatest fear is losing his job when Scotland votes for independence & the 52 others who currently enjoy a tax payer funded lifestyle.

Well said and well put argument Hayley, Jim Murphy, is correct all we in Scotland have to do is CHANGE our government, thats what he and his unionist cronies are trying to stop

[@andrewlaird2407]

my god Jim, I think you're living on Mars!!! Poor bloody martians!!!

[@edneilly]

At is very worst as and when Scotland gains independence, and the unionists manage to stop a currency union, In my opinion all the Scottish government should do is at the very onset create our own currency and call it the Scottish Pound, that is linked to sterling, much like the Irish Punt

[@barrheadboy1684]

Now that is exactly how the BBC should behave

[@hashburystumble8808]

Jim Murphy is vying to be the most vacuous Labour politician in Scotland. It's between him and Johanne Lamont, Margaret Curran, Anas Sarwar, Alistair Darling, Ian Davidson et al.....it's a close run thing.

National Institute for Economic and Social Research are now to the right of the Adam Smith Institute.

[@bridie177]

Independent experts Jim? The National Institute of Economic and Social Research whose reports have been commissioned by the UK Govt funded Economic and Social Research Council.

well done hayley bloody decked him he is on the floor and has no real reply to anything she asked him a total bloody liar with no defence he has nothing to add to anything

[@inverkenny]

Five years have passed, we now have record food banks, well done Murphy, ya dick.

[@kilbraur]

Jim Murphy is lost in interviews because after he has read the script his advisers give him he is lost. He lacks the ability to think on his feet and has no real answers.

[@DavidHunter]

Wow someone in the media actually grilling someone from the No campaign. Makes a good change! Maybe someone sees the tide turning. Clearly it is, and people need to start positioning themselves for a place in a future independent Scotland. Looking like a fool post September 18th isn't a good way to forge your future career. Looking forward to what happen in a Scottish media landscape once we gain independence.

[@edneilly]

David, it just goes to show how frightened the unionists are about independence, they know there is a gradual move towards a "YES" vote

[@scotian007]

Well done Hayley

[@woolfy2001]

Murphy once again shown up as the fud he is. Good on the interviewer he nearly showed his true colours when she had him rattled. Once again project fear bites the dust. vote yes.

[@wolf2148]

Fantastic Hayley! You show your commitment to your profession by not running scared of politicians who bully presenters. I'm proud of you. Let's see if others have the courage to follow your example. As for Jim Murphy, my plea is to his constituants, do not vote this man back in. He brings nothing of benefit to the people of Scotland. This referendum is showing us the politicians who care about the people and those simply looking to draw a salary, unfortunately Jim Murphy is the latter.

[@ineedapintofbeer]

Brilliant interview Hayley , I suppose when it comes down to the facts - the truth shines through

[@wonjubhoy]

fantastic interview

[@Pumpherstonsmith]

Is wanting to leave a burning building being negative.

The link to the video in the previous post should be minus the exclamation marks, as follows. Economic Case For an Ind. Scot. 2/4 - Economic Facts - Ivan Mc. Kee. There are many other video's in this genre' which offer much food for thought. No spin!... Just down to earth, provable facts. Educate yourself. YES!
