SNP fails in BBC debate court bid

No, you can't!It was bound to be. Lady Smith, judge at the Court of Session in Edinburgh, through out the SNP's bid to be in the spotlight. Alex Salmond in a Prime Ministerial Debate? Laughable at best, I'd say.

Scottish Tory campaign manager David McLetchie sums it up rather well. "The SNP knew the UK leaders' debates would get significant press coverage but Alex Salmond waited till now to go to court to ensure maximum coverage during the campaign. His use of the legal process, for what has been no more than a £50,000 SNP campaign stunt, is desperate stuff. The ruling just proves this point."

I hope Salmond puts the £50K in the accounts for the Electoral Commission to peruse!
