Scots Independence: BBC Skews News?

The referendum on Scottish independence will be held on 18 Sept 2014.

It is of deep concern to those who favour independence that the British State broadcaster is being neglectful of balanced debate, for example, repeatedly confronting single pro-independence spokespersons with numerous unionists.

Worse, BBC Scotland is strongly suspected of spinning political and economic coverage in such a manner as to undermine Scottish self-confidence and thus foster a pro-Union vote.

Serious misgivings. The evidence? The Scottish and World communities are encouraged to consider the merits of pertinent critiques and news-monitoring on the pro-independence site Newsnet Scotland.

Calculated or not, the subliminal propaganda-value for the Unionist camp of the distorted BBC evening weather map is all too obvious:

Dooyeweerd: Encyclopedia of the Science of Law

£7.00/ $7.20
 "This introductory volume may turn out to become the cornerstone of the entire Collected Works of Herman Dooyeweerd" 

     "The Encyclopedia of the Science of Law constitutes the first scholarly domain in which Dooyeweerd tested his radically new understanding of created reality, informed by the biblical basic motive of creation, fall, and redemption. The Science of Law represents the academic discipline in which Dooyeweerd was trained and in which he developed exceptional expertise. Therefore, it must be clear that the publication of this comprehensive and authoritative multivolume series will contribute significantly to the ever growing legacy of reformational philosophy....
   The first volume is not only an introduction to the Encyclopedia of the Science of Law, it is also a magnificent introduction to Dooyeweerd's entire philosophy. It will appeal to all scholars with a basic interest in philosophy, regardless of what discipline they are coming from. This introductory volume may turn out to become the cornerstone of the entire Collected Works of Herman Dooyeweerd." (extract from Foreword by D.F.M. Strauss, General Editor)

"This is the first of the five volumes to be published which will comprise the complete Encyclopedia of the Science of Law by Herman Dooyeweerd" (from Editor's Introduction by Alan Cameron)
