Sun, 14/09/2014 - 20:46 Commenting on revelations this evening from BBC Scotland that the Treasury sent unsolicited briefing to journalists at the Corporation about market sensitive information regarding the banking sector, before any announcement from banks themselves, First Minister Alex Salmond has demanded full disclosure on the issue. The First Minister has already written to UK civil service head Sir Jeremy Heywood calling for a full inquiry into the leak of market sensitive information regarding RBS. Mr Salmond said: This evenings revelations are further proof of the plotting at senior levels of the UK Government to spread scare stories in the run-up to the referendum. The leaking of market sensitive information is an extremely serious issue - and the confirmation from the BBC that they were sent unsolicited briefing demands full disclosure from the Treasury. The tangled web of the UK Governments activity in orchestrating scare stories is being exposed bit by bit and day by day. But the people of Scotland will not be bullied or cowed by Westminsters blatantly transparent efforts to spread fears - which is just one reason why momentum continues to build behind the Yes campaign as we look forward to Thursdays vote. The revelations were made by James Cook during the BBC Referendum debate, which aired on BBC One Scotland tonight at 8pm ...In addition to this (revelation), yesterday saw tens of thousands of people on the streets of Scotland singing and dancing in favour of independence. Sadly, not a hint of this was reported by our UK or Scottish media...instead, what we received was a long interview with Jim Murphy and John Reid for the NO campaign falsely suggesting how vicious the YES campaigners are. Aljezeera and Russia Today seem to be the main media sources for reporting what is really happening in Scotland.
